Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 399

When Andres and Maeve stepped through the door, Tanner hurried to introduce them.

"This is Mr. Andres White. Mr. White, these are Master Veritas's three disciples from the Luminary Order."

He gestured in turn.

"Elijah Hayes. Sylvia Rose. Ian Grover. They're Master Veritas's most prized students."

All three stood, polite but edged with arrogance, and nodded to Andres.

Elijah, the one who seemed to anchor the room, spoke first.

"It's been a long time, Mr. White. You still look as radiant as ever."

Tanner blinked. "Mr. Hayes knows Mr. White?"

Elijah smiled faintly. "More than knows. Mr. White and I were… schoolmates, in a sense."

In Elijah's mind, "elementary school" still counted as school.

Andres dipped his head. "It has been over a year. How is your master?"

Elijah's expression sobered. "His heart condition is persistent. Too many variables. It's hard to say."

As he spoke, his gaze drifted instinctively toward Maeve.

It was impossible not to look.

Her face was too refined—almost unreal.

He'd always thought Sylvia was the kind of beauty you rarely saw outside magazines.

But the girl beside Andres was even more luminous than Sylvia—brighter, sharper, like she didn't belong in an ordinary room.

Men were men. Even those who claimed to stand above worldly temptation.

Elijah's interest in Maeve was pure appreciation—nothing more than admiration for an unfairly perfect face.

While Elijah examined Maeve, Maeve examined all three of them in return—silent, unwavering, unapologetically direct.

Elijah, busy speaking to Andres, didn't notice anything.

But Sylvia and Ian, under Maeve's unblinking scrutiny, began to feel prickly all over.
