Mark frowned. He knew that Maeve was cunning and sophisticated. This was why they could cooperate.
In her previous life, Maeve succeeded in becoming Nicole’s stepmother and being with Ryder. Maeve could even handle such a fierce man as Ryder. It could be seen how crafty Maeve was.
However, Ryder disliked what Maeve did to him.
No matter how brilliant and ambitious Maeve was, she was only a nobody. However, Paula was different. She was born with a silver spoon and would be the heir of the Floyd family.
One was at the grass-roots level and the other very noble. It was self-evident to make a choice between them.
So what if Paula had a bad temper? All Mark could do was comfort her. Paula was born into such a rich family and had never flattered anyone. Maeve wasn’t on par with Paula.
“You better leave here.”
Mark put on a long face. He did not want to see any trouble at the engagement party.
Paula was spoiled and very mean. If she knew that Mark had an affair with Maeve and then broke off the engagement, when would Mark be able to take over the Langdon Group?
Mark couldn’t afford to offend the Floyd family.
“I just came to see you and wish you happiness. Isn’t that OK?”
Though Maeve knew that Mark never took her into his heart, she still felt aggrieved at the thought of the child in her belly.
Maeve had been tolerant enough and hid in a corner humbly.
Just now, Maeve saw the Duncan Group’s CEO William and his wife Jane. Maeve hid in a corner but was reluctant to leave for fear that she would be seen.
It was not easy to find a chance to talk to Mark, but Mark was indifferent to Maeve.
“Maeve, my happiness is none of your business.”
Mark thought Maeve was so shameless, and he worried that Paula would come back at any time. Thus, Mark said more mercilessly, “You are just a kept woman to me.”
All Mark wanted was the Floyd family. He was furious right now and spoke out without thinking.
“I can’t marry you. You should know that. I thought that you were sensible. As long as I paid, it would be fine. Now, it seems that I can’t get rid of you even if I give you money?”
Mark’s harsh words hurt Maeve a lot.
The sweetness between the two of them was fake!
“Is that how you see me?”
Maeve almost blacked out. She felt a sudden pain in her stomach. It hurt so much that her face was pale and her forehead was sweating.
But Mark did not know that. He thought Maeve was acting, and thus he became even angrier. He wondered, ‘This woman is so good at acting. Why doesn’t she become an actor?’
“Paula is pregnant. It’s my child. We can’t afford it if there’s anything wrong today.”
Mark ruthlessly asked Maeve to quickly get out. If he called for a bodyguard, it would not be good.
“Paula is pregnant?”
Maeve seemed to get it in an instant. She trembled and suddenly felt something flow down.
“Yes, so…”
Before Mark finished speaking, he saw the blood on Maeve’s leg and got stunned.
Maeve and Mark were in the corner and did not attract attention. Paula saw that scene and was very proud. She told her mother to send some lackeys to her. Then it would be fine provided Paula secretly drove Maeve out and make her lose the baby accidentally.
After Maeve arrived, something was added to her drinks. Paula didn’t expect it to take effect so quickly.
Jane had been paying attention to the situation there.
Jane suddenly screamed. This attracted everyone’s attention.
“Honey, this is Maeve. She had left the Duncan Group. Is she…”
The ground was covered in blood. Maeve might probably lose her child.
Jane’s scream attracted a large number of women. One of them was a doctor and shook her head. The child would definitely be lost.
At this moment, Maeve was very weak and fell into Mark’s arms. Those onlookers were all smart and guessed what happened.
It seemed that Maeve was pregnant with Mark’s child, but she had a miscarriage during the engagement party about Mark and the daughter of the Floyd family. This was interesting.
Paula did not expect to make a big fuss. She bit her lips and felt that she was going to lose face.
Originally, this was not a big deal. It would be fine if they settled it privately. Paula brought Maeve here to make her give up.
But Paula didn’t handle it well and there was an accident. The engagement party couldn’t continue. The guests all looked at Paula with scorn.
Moreover, Paula was also pregnant with Mark’s child.
“Call the ambulance and send her to the hospital!”
After Jane finished speaking, the crowd discussed in a low voice.
“Mr. Langdon, the engagement party…”
What an unlucky tragedy! It was the top taboo in the wealthy family, and it was not suitable to continue the party.
“It will continue. Engagement is important to me and Paula. I won’t stop it just because someone barged in without an invitation.”
Mark hated Maeve’s guts. He thought, ‘Damned woman! How dare she get pregnant with my child? Shame on her!’
Maeve was unconscious. When she heard Mark’s words, she wished that she could die with him.
At first, Maeve wanted to take advantage of the child in her belly. But as time passed by, she gradually felt the connection with the baby and got happy for being a mother.
Maeve’s mother didn’t love her, but Maeve wanted to show love and care to her baby so that he could grow up happily and safely.
Maeve’s dream was broken. She lost the child, and Mark still wanted to marry Paula. Why did Paula have a child and Maeve lose hers?
It was Maeve’s karma.
Maeve got crazy and wanted revenge on all the people who had wronged her.
That accident did not affect Mark and Paula’s engagement party and held a press conference again. The next day, the news was all about their engagement.
In the hospital, Maeve watched the news absent-mindedly. When she saw Paula proudly touch her lower abdomen, Maeve got furious.
No one came to see Maeve since she was hospitalized as if Maeve had been forgotten.
Well, it was fine.
Maeve just took a good rest.
“Ms. Aston, you’ve suffered a hemorrhage after the miscarriage. I’m afraid that in the future…”
The doctor did not make it very clear. But it meant that Maeve lost the right to be a mother.
This blow was like a bolt from the blue. Maeve thought that the child was a gift and redemption and she would have a baby again. Well, could she no longer become a mother?
Maeve could no longer be a mother in the future. Her child would forever leave her.
