Maeve only felt her shoulder being bumped by someone. She had no choice but to take half a step back and stand properly. She saw Aeolian blocking in front of Zephyr. 

Acolian first glared at Maeve and said to him, “Zephyr, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Why are you here?” 

“I drank too much just now, so I came out to take a breather,” Zephyr said gently, “What’s wrong?” 

“Mr..Morris and the others are looking for you. They couldn’t get through to your phone, so I came to help pass the message.” Acolian deliberately used her body to block Maeve. She held Zephyr’s arm and wheedled. “You have to pay me.” 

Zephyr could not help but laugh. “Alright, pick a gift you like later and put it on my tab.” 

Acolian was usually willful and unruly, but after all, she was his younger sister whom he had doted on for many years. Naturally, he would agree to her requests. 

“Zephyr, you’re the best!” Aeolian said sweetly and gave Maeve a smug look. 

Maeve was speechless. She did not understand what Aeolian was showing off. ‘Is she showing off that she had a good brother?‘ 

At this moment, Zephyr said to Maeve, “Ms. Reese, I’ll take my leave first.“. 

Maeve swallowed the words that she could not say and nodded. “Goodbye.” 

After he left, Maeve was about to leave this troublesome place when Aeolian stopped her. 

“Are you targeting our family? It’s fine if you flatter my uncle, but you even want to flirt with Zephyr. Do you want to get them all?” 

There were no outsiders here, so Aeolian did not bother to pretend in front of Maeve and questioned her fiercely. 

Maave looked at her coldly. “I don’t think you’re short–sighted, but blind. Vicious people think that others have ulterior, motives for everything they do.” 

Am I wrong? Didn’t you always come to my house and coax my uncle to give you things? Now, you’re pretending to be obedient in front of Zephyr!” 

As Acolian thought of what she had just seen, she felt suffocated. She lowered her voice and warned, “I know what a woman like you is thinking. Don’t think that you can get close to Zephyr just because you’re pretty. With me around, dream on!” 

Maeve wasn’t someone to be trifled with. She immediately sneered and said, “Since you’ve said so, if I don’t rely on my good looks to seduce Zephyr, wouldn’t it be a waste of the crime you gave me?” 

“You! I knew you were up to no good, you 

slut!” 

Acolian raised her hand and wanted to slap Maeve’s face, but she was stopped by a voice. 

“Acolian, stop.” 

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Maeve’s back stiffened. Then, she saw Zephyr return. He stood there and heard many of their conversations.

Help. Does he also hear my words that I deliberately angered Aeolian? Maeve thought.

Acofian’s face was filled with schadenfreude as she complained impatiently, “Zephyr, did you hear what she said just now? You have to stay away from such a scheming woman in the future. Otherwise, you won’t even know when she schemes against you!” 

Zephyr’s expression did not change, but he did not look at Maeve again. He stood on the spot and waved at Aeolian, “Come back with me. Don’t cause trouble,” 

Acolían pouted. “I didn’t. I even chased away an unlucky streak for you? 

“Let’s go. 

The siblings walked further and further away, leaving Maeve standing in front of the flowers with an awkward expression. 

If she had known that she would be heard, she would not have provoked Acolian so much. 

However, this was not her fault. Did she have to be polite and reason with Aeolian when Aeolian was so mean? 

She thought that Zephyr would be able to tell right from wrong, but unexpectedly… 

Forget it. She would just stay away from the two in the future. 

Maeve took out her phone to take a look at the time. In the end, she realized that her phone had run out of battery and was switched off. She recalled that she had disappeared for a long time and had not spoken to Byron. She immediately shuddered. 

She was doomed. 

Ignoring the birthday bash, Maeve grabbed her handbag and left the garden. 

As Maeve passed the parking lot, she saw a dark figure leaning over a car doing something. The tool in his hand flashed silver in the moonlight. 

Maeve was shocked and subconsciously hid. She only dared to come out after the person’s footsteps had gone far. 

The person just now was wearing a mask and a cap. He did not look like a guest at the party. 

However, if he was a driver, he was holding a tool in his hand… 

Maeve walked to the car. Although she wasn’t sure what the person had done, just in case, she gave the owner of the car a heads–up. 

She stuffed the pad into the space between the door handles, looked around, and left. 

After the birthday bash ended, Zephyr walked to the driver’s car with his suit jacket on his arm. He opened the door and waited for Aeolian to get in. Then, he felt something in his hand. 

He took it out and saw that it was a ball of paper. 

Zephyr frowned slightly and was about to open a corner. 

“Zephyr, hurry up. I want to go back and take a shower. I’m so tired today,” Aeolian urged unhappily in the car. 

Zephyr could not help but laugh. He nodded and got into the car. Then, he instructed the driver to drive.

Zephyr thought of the paper ball in his hand and casually opened it to take a look.
