The Heir's Secret Bride
Secret Bride 471

Chapter 471

[Fuck, the kid from the Marine Corps next door said that he wants to wash away the grievance of being crushed by us last time. He's starting to recruit people off the field.] [Guys, we can't tolerate it. We can lose our heads and shed our blood but cannot lose our place in the boss's heart. Charge!]

[Sure!]

Maeve's side was also in full swing. Gilbert on her left sent the messages to his friends in the retirement group to help vote and get people.

It was the social networking ability.

Byron on Maeve's right was much easier. He directly used the year-end bonus to double the reward and mobilized the entire company to vote together.

It was the power of money.

Maeve accidentally sent the link to her junior high school classmate and was blocked.

She was helpless.

Maeve held her forehead. Her phone suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up on the screen.

Julia Blunt: [Wow, Maeve, you have children. When did you get married? Who's the man? Is he the one you had a crush on back then]

Maeve was stunned when she read it. After thinking for a long while, she remembered the person was her high school roommate. Their relationship was average.

Maeve, sensing the strong sense of inquiry in Julia's words, did not want to satisfy her gossipy nature and casually said a few perfunctory words.

'However, what did she mean by a crush? Did I have a crush on anyone

in my

senior year of high school? thought Maeve.

Maeve had a good memory but could not think of the corresponding person after thinking about it.

hink of gain.

'Julia must have made a mistake,' thought Maeve again.

In a daze, Maeve suddenly heard Byron's faint reminder beside her. "The rankings have been announced."

She was suddenly shocked and subconsciously grabbed her phone. "Okay... okay."

'Strange. Why do I feel guilty?' thought Maeve.

Byron narrowed his dark eyes. There was a hint of danger and gloominess in them.

'A crush? Who had she had a crush on before?' thought Byron.

The final result was unexpected. In just half an hour, the votes for the first and the second place had surpassed the votes of the third place by nearly two hundred thousand votes...

The number of votes was enormous. The organizers of the Star of Children Talent Competition was encountering it for the first time. They were even worried that some parents might cheat on their votes. However, they checked the background and found no abnormalities. Most of the IPs came from the military district and the Mcdaniel Group...

Their initial doubts turned into fear and trepidation. They were worried the trophy they had prepared was not gorgeous enough.

Theo and Will, who had accidentally gotten the first and the second place, were dumbfounded.

Theo wondered, 'What's going on? The teacher didn't trick me. I my singing really that good?'

Will thought, 'Am I not here to make it complete?'

Even Maeve didn't see it coming when Theo vowed to bring home the singing contest trophy a month ago.......

The family went to a private restaurant to celebrate after the competition.

The environment there was quiet. Every private room had its courtyard. Green plants were separated, and a gentle breeze blew, bringing a fragrance. It was rather elegant.

The meal was filled with laughter. Even Byron, who was usually the most apathetic and deep, seemed to have softened.

The only bad thing was Theo and Will were not as fast at peeling prawns and crabs as Byron was. They were a little depressed about their chubby little hands.

Theo turned his anger into motivation. He cleared his throat and stood up to attract Maeve's attention. "I knew you guys hadn't heard enough. Then I'll sing another song to satisfy you." Will was speechless. No one said that.

Maeve quickly stood up. "Good boy, I

Want to go to the washroom."

"Alright. I'll sing when you come back, Mommy." Theo doted on her.

Maeve did not know whether to laugh or cry. 'It seems the trophy has made Theo arrogant. It is good, too. It is not bad for a child to be more confident, thought Maeve.

The washroom was in the corridor outside the private room, separated from the private room by a cobblestone path.

After Maeve came out, she was caught off guard by a shadow blocking her way.

"Maeve Reese? It's you. I thought I was mistaken!" The person sounded surprised and curious. "Are you here to eat, too? Who

are you

with?"

Maeve looked at the girl who suddenly ran out in confusion. "You are?"

"I've changed so much? You can't even recognize me." The girl chuckled. "I'm Julia Blunt. I was in the same dormitory room as you in our senior year of high school. Mine was opposite your bed."

The name had appeared on Maeve's phone not long ago, so she immediately remembered it.

"It's you. I'm sorry. I didn't recognize you just now," said Maeve.

"It's fine. It's been so many years since we last met. Normally, you can't recognize me," Julia said casually. "I saw your children won the first and the second prizes in that singing competition. Congratulations." Maeve's lips curved into a faint smile. "Thank you."

Julia nudged Maeve with her elbow again with a gossipy expression. "When did you get married? You're not nice. You didn't even invite us, your classmates, to your wedding banquet. I even helped your secret crush matter back then. We had such a close relationship." Maeve and Byron's situation was more complicated. They divorced once and had two children, but now they reconciled. Of

course, the kind of thing was not easy to explain to outsiders.

Before Maeve could think of a way to brush it off, her attention was pulled away by Julia's last sentence.

"Did 1 have a crush on someone before?" said Maeve, confused.

"Are you serious? Back then, you chased him to Kleymond. Now you don't even remember him?" Julia chuckled. "So you married someone else. Well, how could love in student days have a perfect ending?"

5. Maeve was shocked by her words and thought, 'Did I chase someone all the way to Kleymond back then? But why don't I

have the memory? I do not even know who that person is.

"It's been too long. I can't remember clearly. I feel a little nostalgic hearing you say it." Maeve probed imperceptibly. "Do you remember the name of the person I have a crush on?"

Julia spread her hands gently. "How would I know? I accidentally saw your diary at that time. You were quite interested in writing such a thing in your diary. You must hide it well and don't let your current husband replace out. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble if something like that happens again after SAT."

Julia's tone didn't mean what she said.

Maeve's lips twitched. "What happened after SAT? I don't even remember."

She almost fainted due to a high fever at home alone shortly after the SAT. She was so close to death when she was sent to hospital that it took her a long time to recover.

When Julia heard Maeve say that, she did not think Maeve had forgotten. Instead, she felt Maeve did not want to mention that matter for the sake of her dignity.

Julia liked to bring up things that others would rather forget. She laughed as she clapped her hands. "I can't forget it even if you do. At that time, your parents found out you had a puppy love and even wanted to chase a boy to study at Kleymond University. I heard a classmate saw them beat you up at your home door: Gosh, my heart ached for you at that time."
