Chapter 454 

I honestly feel so bad for Ms. Reese, She’s been labeled as the daughter of a wanted criminal for over a month, and those ruthless netizens attacked her. The more I think about it, the more I feel like someone’s really out to get her.] 

[Even if she’s not the criminal’s daughter, she’s still not a big deal Who’s even feeling threatened by her? This isn’t the entertainment world.] 

[By the way, the Mcdaniel Group’s official account is running a giveaway. Share the video, and 50 people could win a share of a million dollars!] 

[Wait, WHAT? A million dollars? That’s 20 thousand dollars each 

[With that kind of money, Mr. Mcdaniel must be totally smitten with her, right?] 

[Honestly, for Mr. Mcdaniel, that money probably means nothing. But Maeve marrying him? She’s way out of his league. If they get married, I’ll eat my keyboard.] 

Once the Mcdaniel Group giveaway went live, even people who didn’t care much about the news got in on it. 

When it comes to messing with people’s feelings, sure, people might be mad for a while. 

But swindling money? That was where people really draw the line. Netizens were practically cursing Henry’s entire family 

tree. 

To show support for Maeve, they even rushed over to Dreamscape Studio’s website to buy some clothes. 

The homepage featured Wings of Love, a stunning wedding dress design with two birds perched on branches. The intricate patterns trailed down to the hem, making it look as though they were about to take flight. 

It was this super romantic design, and they could tell Maeve had put her heart into it. 

But when fans tried to buy it, they realized it wasn’t available yet. It wasn’t even finished. It was just up there to admire. 

Netizens were pissed. [WTF. Are you serious?!] 

They blasted Maeve and Dreamscape Studio, but Maeve didn’t even know about any of it. 

Maeve was sitting in the living room, unwrapping the gift Byron had sent, when she noticed the police video from Erancia playing on the TV. She was totally caught off guard. 

It felt unreal. There was no way the police could’ve faked this. It made her think back to the paternity test she did with Henry. 

She had never questioned it–First Hospital was too reputable to make such a mistake or fake anything. And Henry didn’t have the power to manipulate First Hospital into doing anything. 

Maeve was left confused. Just then, the doorbell rang. She went to open it, and before she could process who it was, the person pulled her into a tight hug. 

“Uh, Tom?” Maeve froze in his arms. As she tried to pull away, she heard him say, “Maeve, Uncle will take you home now.” 

‘Uncle…? Uncle?‘ Maeve’s eyes were filled with confusion. She could feel the warmth of Tom’s embrace, like someone who had found something they’d lost. She didn’t know what to think 

She looked over at Loren, who was standing there with a dazed look on his face, his lips pressed tight. 

‘What’s happening? Are they both drunk?‘ she thought.

Chapter 454 

Of course, neither Tonnor Loren had been drinking, but they didn’t want to drop the full truth on Maeve just yet. 

They held back their excitement and suggested taking Maeve and the kids to the palace. 

Then Maeve finally noticed the convoy behind them–about twenty shiny black luxury cars lined up in a square, with a white car in the center. It looked like a princess surrounded by knights. It was hard to ignore. 

There were even fresh flowers on the roof. No matter how you looked at it, the whole scene was a total showstopper. 

Tom awkwardly scratched his nose and said, “I actually wanted to send you a carriage from the palace, they say women like that kind of thing, but the carriages were being repaired today. So, I had to settle for the next best thing.” 

He had decided that his precious niece deserved a grand welcome. It wasn’t official, but it was the best he could do with what he had. 

Loren opened his mouth to speak, but the second he did, his eyes started watering, and he let out a small burp. 

Maeve was stunned. She silently thanked the universe that the carriage was under repair. If it weren’t, she had no idea how she would handle the scene in front of her. 

She also couldn’t understand why Loren was staring at her like he was about to burst into tears. It left her feeling completely flustered. 

Still in a daze, Maeve climbed into the white car with her two little ones, and they began driving toward the palace. 

At first, Maeve thought the convoy was already too much, but it turned out, that was just the start. As soon as they hit the road, all the other cars quickly moved aside, leaving them with a clear path. 

Pedestrians who were too scared to take photos posted about it online instead, speculating which royal family member could be traveling with such an extravagant setup. 

Then, one of the posters saw Maeve roll down her window to get some fresh air. 

They quickly added, [Oh, shit! Could it be that Ms. Reese was chosen by a prince to be his princess?!] 

That post went viral in no time. It even made its way onto international social media thanks to curious onlookers. 

Meanwhile, Maeve, who was at the center of the craziness, followed behind Tom with the two little ones, feeling nervous as they made their way toward the Queen’s study. 

Will and Theo exchanged a look, instantly getting why Tom had brought them here. Still, they couldn’t quite believe it was happening. 

Maeve, clueless about everything, had no idea what was going on until Tom pulled out her paternity test report and old photos of her birthmark from when she was little.
