It was night now. Maeve unveiled the curtains of the villa. It was silent on the street and there was no one in sight.
Maeve had watched the interview on TV. The Langdon Group was in a fierce fight for heritage, and the results would be out soon.
Ryder’s reputation was damaged and he hid. Rumor had it that with the support of Kayden, Mark would be the heir.
It had been half a month since the last time Maeve and Mark were together.
Maeve’s adoptive father had bothered her many times these days. If Mark did not come to see her, Maeve would not be able to hold on.
Maeve had promised her adoptive father that she would give him a house and money, but she couldn’t fulfill the promise now. Maeve found excuses to drag the matter, and her adoptive father threatened not to let her go if she couldn’t get the things done.
After drinking a glass of water, Maeve went to the bathroom. When she came out, she had a pregnancy test kit in her hand. The two red lines on it proved that she was pregnant.
Maeve felt lucky that she was pregnant at this time.
Maeve immediately called Mark.
“Hello?”
Mark quickly answered the phone.
He didn’t want to talk to Maeve, but they shared secrets. Moreover, Mark had asked Maeve for help. If she betrayed him, the Langdon Group might fall into Ryder’s hands again.
Now, the evidence of Mark’s father’s car accident had been found and was handed to the police.
Mark believed that the police were now investigating the matter. When the truth came out, Gage would be taken away, and there would be one less person in the competition for the property.
Mark didn’t take Claudia and Mike in his eyes. Gage and his family had destroyed Mark’s family. It made sense if Mark didn’t give a penny to Gage.
However, some things were different from before, which made Mark feel uneasy.
In his previous life, Maeve was a capable woman. She managed to get Marina away and married Ryder.
This kind of woman was not simple, and this was why Mark asked Maeve for help.
Mark didn’t see Maeve for some time, and Maeve did not contact him. Everything went well.
Mark liked smart women, but he did not like women who were too ambitious and thought they were smart.
“Mark, have you been busy lately?”
Maeve smiled. Mark had used her. They were on the same boat now. And Maeve didn’t think Mark could escape her control.
Maeve had the evidence that Mark had tampered with Ryder’s car. But Shawn was unlucky.
“Yes, I am busy,” Mark sighed.
Then Mark went on with his troubles at work. He had to inherit the Langdon Group, so he had too many things to learn. He now wished that he could work twenty-four hours.
“Are you short of money?”
Mark was not petty, and he suddenly thought that Maeve didn’t make any requests for him.
Women were vain, and they liked luxurious shoes and bags. When Mark was talking to Maeve, he had transferred three million to her bank card.
“If you’re bored, go shopping and invite someone for afternoon tea.”
Mark didn’t want to see Maeve, so he had to find an excuse to get rid of her.
“Mark, I just want to see you.”
When Maeve saw the money, she breathed a sigh of relief. She could give money to her adoptive father now.
What was more, Maeve was pregnant. With this trump card, she was not afraid of anything.
If Mark came to trouble her, she was afraid that she would lose her child.
“I’m sorry, darling. When I get the job done, I’ll accompany you and take you on a vacation.”
When the assistant entered the office, Mark’s tone became a lot more perfunctory. Work was more important. When he took over the Langdon Group, he would have all kinds of women.
“Well, go do your work. Take care of yourself.”
With money, Maeve quickly hung up the phone with an evil smile.
If a woman pestered a man all day long, it would only arouse disgust.
A few days later, there was explosive news. The police found the evidence and arrested Gage, Kayden’s second son, who was suspected to be related to the car accident of Peyton, Kayden’s eldest son.
Marina sat on the sofa and watched TV. Ryder had told her the matter in advance, so she was not surprised about this.
Kayden wouldn’t go to the extreme to send his son to prison unless the evidence was true.
When Bailey got the news, she called Marina immediately.
“That’s impossible. Kayden must be crazy!”
The servants started to pack up Bailey and her children’s things and threw her expensive dress away in the morning. They were going to be kicked out of the family.
When Marina was kicked out, she was not as embarrassed as Bailey now. Kayden even called the media to take photos of Bailey being kicked out of the family.
Bailey was so awkward. Those dresses were her collection. She felt too humiliated to pick up things under the flashing lights, so she let her daughter Claudia collect the things.
Bailey thought it must be a trap, as Gage had nothing to do with Peyton’s car accident.
Kayden wanted to get rid of the illegitimate child and let Mark take over the Langdon Group.
Bailey was regretful that she was kept in the dark about the plot.
When Bailey got the news, Gage had already been taken away. She inquired about the matter from an acquaintance of hers but the person kept silent on this matter. That meant the problem was very serious.
If it was a murder. Of course it was serious.
However, Bailey knew Gage. He would never kill anyone. He didn’t even expect to get property from the Langdon Group. He just needed to get his share.
Bailey and Gage had a private talk, and she knew Gage’s mind.
“I saw it.”
Marina owed Bailey a favor and Marina had to pay it back, so she promised Bailey to find out the specific information.
A few hours later, Marina called Bailey back and said, “It was Kayden’s idea. He handed the evidence to the police.”
Bailey found it hard to accept. She didn’t know why Kayden did this.
“It has affected the Langdon Group’s reputation. But the evidence is against Gage.”
It was no use obtaining a guarantor pending trial. Gage was over.
Besides, there was also evidence that Gage had transferred the money overseas. Gage had a mistress who gave birth to twins and his properties were transferred to the twins.
Bailey did not know about this at all.
Bailey was strong and smart, but she did not know what her man was doing. Gage hid it too well.
The twins were already eighteen years old and had officially taken over Gage’s property.
It was said that the mistress was Gage’s true love. They used to be classmates.
