Chapter 64
Yvette plopped down beside him, violently scratching her head in frustration.
“And that’s not the only messed-up thing Frederick did today! He bought an eighty-million-dollar necklace at the auction. I honestly thought he’d finally grown a conscience and realized he needed to treat Maeve better. I was so happy for her p>
“But guess what? That necklace ended up around the neck of that manipulative witch Zoe! I can’t even imagine how devastated Maeve must have felt seeing that p>
She slid closer to Jonathan, grabbing his arm and shaking it.
“Jon, you have to help Maeve. Frederick has completely changed, and his family treats her like garbage. She moved across the country for him, she has no family or friends here. If she stays in that toxic environment, I’m seriously worried she’s going to get severely depressed p>
Jonathan pulled his arm free, shooting her a sideways glance.
“And how exactly do you expect me to help p>
Yvette: p>
Truthfully, she had no idea how to help Maeve.
Tell her to get a divorce? They had been together for five years. If things had gotten so bad that outsiders were telling her to leave, how agonizing must it be for Maeve herself?
But if they didn’t encourage her to leave, knowing how the Fairchild family operated, who knew what horrors Maeve would suffer next?
The more Yvette thought about it, the angrier she got. Unable to come up with a solution, she let out a furious, through-gritted-teeth growl.
“This is all Frederick and the Fairchilds’ fault p>
Jonathan fully expected an outburst like this. His sister had always been impulsive; he never actually expected her to offer a strategic plan.
“Maeve is already discussing divorce with Frederick. If she needs my help moving forward, I’ll step in p>
“Are you serious?” Yvette tried to contain herself, but the gleam of excitement in her eyes gave her away as she leaned close to her brother’s face.
“Then… is there anything I can do to help p>
Jonathan pressed a finger to her forehead, pushing her away with a bit of force as he stood up from the sofa.
“Just don’t cause any trouble for her. That’s enough p>
Yvette deflated slightly but quickly rallied.
“Jon, you really have to help her. Aside from us, she has no one else in the Capital p>
Jonathan paused his steps. He picked up his jacket from the sofa nd, as he reached the stars, finally replied.
“I know p>
Yvette’s eyes followed Jonathan, finally feeling a sense of relief upon hearing his promise.
Her brother’s word was as good as gold. If he said he would do it, he would.
With her brother’s help, Maeve would definitely be able to successfully divorce Frederick!
Maeve returned to Wisteria Cove and began organizing the luggage she had packed earlier.
The suitcases contained the exact same belongings she had brought from her hometown three years ago.
She wasn’t taking a single thing the Fairchild family or Frederick had given her.
She had endured enough humiliation in this house.
After tucking the essential ols Yvette had gifted her into the suitcase, Maeve stood up and surveyed the guest bedroom she had been sleeping in recently
It was completely empty, restored to its usual pristine neatness. Not a speck of dust remained on the desk.
Just like her existence in this home.
No matter how much she argued or fought, once she left, someone new would simply take her place p>
The Fairchild family would treat her departure like a passing breeze, not caring in the slightest.
At least this agonizing, torturous marriage was finally coming to an end.
Drip—
Tears slipped uncontrollably from her eyes, dampening her collar.
Maeve quietly endured the gut wrenching ache radiating from her chest. Once the agonizing sensation began to recede, she raised ber hand and meticulously wiped the tears from her face, as if she were slowly piecing back together the self she had lost for Frederick. By the time her cheeks were dry, her expression was one of absolute, terrifying calm.
She made a promise to herself.
