The Heir's Secret Bride

Who is this man? Why does he have a gun? Molly was scared out of her wits. She could feel the difference between a des gun and a fake one.

Although Clem seemed to be always goofing off and never took anything seriously, he still carried a blood-soaked that cut like a dagger through your most fragile nerves. Even his smile felt like death itself, looming and inevitable, suffocating you with its weight. Molly's legs trembled as tears streamed down her face. "Maeve, save me...

You're really snobbish. Maeve pursed her red lips. "Clem, I want to ask her a few questions"

Clem nodded slightly. "Feel free to ask whatever you want. If she lares not to answer, I'll take her somewhere now?

His sudden low tone contained a murderous aura that made Molly's scalp tingle..novelbin

"Miss Olson, you should have heard it, right? If you don't tell the truth later, don't blame my friend for being rude to you." Maeve shrugged. "Nobody forced you. You came along on your own, right?"

Molly's face was ghastly pale. 'Why? Why was I so stupid today? God!' Serena never told her that Maeve knew someone from the underworld.

Maeve started. "First question, can you guarantee that everything you just said is true?"

.Momo only hesitated for a second before the gun pressed against her temple harder. She almost screamed as she replied,

"It's all true! I'm not lying! If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Mcdaniel!"

Maeve's heart gradually sank when Molly was still insisting on her words despite being so frightened. "Second, what is your purpose in coming to me this time?"

"I... I just wanted to come back to Mr. Mcdaniel's, even if I will still be just a secretary. I just wanted you to help me and talk with Mr. Mcdaniel. I can't see him at all now..." Molly's voice was trembling.

Maeve could hear her unwillingness. It was ironic that Molly tried to make use of her. "The last one, what is your relationship with Serena?"

Molly's eyes were evasive and she looked kind of guilty. "Serena is my psychiatrist. We're friends too."

Maeve nodded. "Clem, let her go."

Clem subconsciously looked at Maeve. The moment their eyes met, his ears turned red. "... Okay." He put away his pistol and casually stuffed it back into his back.

Molly heaved a heavy sigh of relief and ran out of the office in a panic as if there was a lion hunting after her.

Maeve shook her head in relaxation. Clem's methods were violent, but she had to admit that it was satisfying.

"What's wrong with this woman?" Clem asked in a low voice. "She doesn't seem to have a normal relationship with Byron." Maeve looked up. He was facing the corner of the sofa and did not look at her at all. 'You're shy again. "She's just weird. Not important. Leave her alone." Then she praised, "By the way, Clem, you were so handsome just now.

rid of her." Thank god, you came. I didn't even how to get

Clem blushed even more. He covered his mouth and coughed. "I'm usually very gentle to girls. It was purely an accident." Since that woman had tried to bully Maeve so blatantly, there was no need for him to be a polite gentleman anymore. 1/3 Chapter 541

Maeve nodded. She knew what he said was all true.

Although Clem was quite shy in front of her, it was probably because of the way he had been raised. He had always been composed before girls and never thrown a tantrum or been rude

Wait a minute, then why did he...? Just as Maeve had a doubt in her mind, Clem continued, "That woman was obviously lying when she answered your question. I'm afraid she was not telling the truth Maeve's eyes were filled with surprise. "How can you tell?"

Clem explained. There was something wrong with her expression. Her eyes were flickering, and she always deliberately slowed down her speech. This means that she was thinking about making up a lie." Then he added, "If you want to get more from her, I have some men who are good at interrogating traitors and spies. I can

arrest her...

"No! Please don't!" Maeve refused. "We live with laws. It's illegal to arrest people. We can't cross the lines."

Clem felt kind of joyful when he heard the word "we". "I'll listen to you then."

"Oh right, Clem, when did you come back? You didn't tell me in advance. I should pick you up at the airport." Maeve asked curiously.

Clem coughed and looked over her head at the chandelier. "I came back last night. I was dragged to a banquet at the last minute and went back as soon as it was over. I thought you'd guess I'd be back today."

- Maeve was stunned for a moment. Then, she remembered that at the press conference of Dreamscape, he had sent someone to deliver a bouquet of roses with a card with the number nine.

"So that's the countdown." She suddenly understood. "And you're not leaving this time?"

"Yes, I give myself a long vacation." Clem nodded.

This was really rare. Usually, his job may only allow one day off every year at most. Often, they met in the morning but then he returned to Chris Continent in the afternoon. There seemed to never be the word "rest" in his life. Somehow Maeve had felt that something was wrong with his face since just now. His lips were feeling unwell?"

pale, like sick. "Clem, are you

"You saw it." Clem was honest. "Before I came back, I met an enemy. I got a shot passing through my abdomen. Not serious, but it's a good opportunity for me to take a break."

Maeve pointed at the bloodstained part of his shirt. "Your wound seems to be still bleeding?"

Clem looked down. 'Oh no. When did the wound onen?

Maeve went outside and brought in the first aid kit. "I still have some medicine made by Theo. It works in stopping the bleeding."

"I haven't seen him in a long time. How tall is he now?" Clem lowered his eyes and blinked a little quickly.

"He had to drink a cup of hot milk every night before he went to bed, afraid that he would be shorter than his brother in the future."

"His brother? The child you found later?" Clem asked.

Maeve smiled and nodded. "I'll show him to you another day."

Then she found that he was too reserved, so she reminded him, Clem, lift your clothes so that I can change your dressing." 20.03
