The onlookers were completely paralyzed with shock. What the hell was happening? They had assumed this stunning woman was just a lowly waitress at The Imperial. Not only was she deeply entangled with the ruthless head of Spark Industries, but the legendary Mr. Andres of Aethelburg was clearly staking a claim on her.
The trust-fund brats who had been eagerly waiting to watch Bowen Ashford torture her were now cowering in the darkest corners of the room. Bowen himself was in the worst shape. Though his friends had hauled him upright, everyone was deliberately avoiding his gaze, terrified of being associated with him.

The demonic overlord of the underground, Benjamin Bright, hadn't shown a shred of murderous intent toward her. Just seconds ago, he had publicly announced he would unconditionally spoil her. She wasn't a waitress at all. She had just marched into Room 1919 to catch up with a childhood friend.
No one cared that Bowen was having a total mental breakdown. He strongly suspected Maeve's brutal kick had permanently crippled him. His legs trembled so violently he could barely stand, and his knees felt like shattered glass.

Maeve had zero desire to look at Benjamin's irritating face a second longer. She gave a curt nod. "Let's go."
As they swept past Bowen Ashford, Maeve suddenly paused. "Oh look. Mr. Ashford is still breathing."
Bowen's face contorted with rage. "You little bitch—"
