Chapter 424 Tomorrowâs meeting with Marve felt like two enemies locking eyes.
Conner glanced at the TV news covering Haileyâs mall incident and shrugged. âJust ignore her,â he said casually.
Meanwhile, Maeve was busy on her phone in the car. Charlie watched her through the rearview mirror and couldnât resist asking, âMs. Scott, youâve been busy since we got in. What are you up to?
âIâm posting somethingâ
Maeve raised an eyebrow. âCan you big influencers help me boost the buzz online?â
âWhat post?â Lyra, ever the gossip enthusiast, immediately pulled out her phone Then, she saw on Facebook that Maeve had anonymously posted some explosive news implicating Clara in Bryceâs car accident. The post included nine photos as solid evidence, sparking a flurry of conspiracy theories in the comments.
Soon enough, someone pieced together a story based on Meeveâs post.
Rumors swirled that Clara, amidst her feud with Maeve, had targeted Bryce to sabotage Maeveâs reputation Some even implicated the Jefferson family, suggesting Conner, deeply infatuated with Clara, might have been involved.
Combining it with some business conflicts, they concluded that Conner was behind it all. In short, Conner and Clara were at the top of the suspect list Just as the buzz peaked, Maeve released an audio recording of Clara hiring someone to orchestrate the car accident.
Days earlier, Maeve had Zayla track down the person who tampered with Bryceâs car. The culprit was a cunning individual who had recorded the act, thus saving crucial evidence. Once Maeveâs post went viral, it set off a storm.
Seeing this, Charlie couldnât help but shake his head. âYou demanded five billion from her, and now youâre going after her once the moneyâs in. Tsk, who will settle things with you privately after this?â
âBut it wasnât posted under my name. How could they prove 1 did it?â
Charlie sighed, âYou picked this up from Zion, didnât you? Ms. Scott, you should know better. Zionâs a real troublemaker. A beauty like you shouldnât be influenced by him!â
Zion lightly kicked the driverâs seat and remarked, âKeep your eyes on the read.â
Charbe had to bite his tongue to salvage Zionâs reputation. After all, he couldnât match Zionâs skills, As they reached the Royal Hotel, Charlie snuck ahead of them.
Lyra leaned closer to Maeve and whispered, âListen, no matter what happens next, make sure to act surprised.â
âDid Charlie prepare these?â
âYeah,â Lyra whispered back, âHe loves to show off, hence the grand gestures.â
âAlright, Iâm mentally prepared. Despite her resolve, Marve immediately lost her composure when charlie snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, the wedding march led the banquet hall, and spotlights illuminated Marve and Zion Marve struggled to force a smile. After a long moment, her face froze into a strained grin.
With flowers lining the aisle and floral arches, Charlie had transformed the empty hall into a wedding scene.
Lyra reluctantly clapped and said, âMarvel Happy birthday!â
