Divorced With His Baby: The Ex Loses Control Chapter 30
Jerry was a little surprised. "It's such a big deal, and you didn't hear a thing?"David's expression didn't change. "Whatever Maeva wants to do is up to her. I won't interfere."The divorce had to be kept from the Cavendish family for now, in case someone slipped up and mentioned it in front of Linda. Her health couldn't handle getting upset right now.Even though David and Jerry were cousins, they didn't actually spend much time together in private. If anything, Jerry was closer to Harvey. They met up often.Jerry said carefully, "The thing is, Harvey has been helping her out a lot. He's been putting in real effort, and he's at the gallery all the time."David slowly tightened his grip on his pen.When he didn't say anything, Jerry went on, "You know I'm on good terms with Harvey. That's why I know a bit more about what's going on. He's been running around everywhere, calling in favors and using his connections to help Maeva invite big-name artists to back the gallery and build
Divorced With His Baby: The Ex Loses Control Chapter 29
George didn't want a single cent ending up in Maeva and Matthew's hands. All of it had to be left to his daughter, Scarlett.Maeva was much more cunning than Matthew. She set traps for him everywhere, yet she always left an escape route for herself.…When Maeva left Pearson Manor, her smile was noticeably brighter, and she was in an excellent mood.George stood before the living room window, watching her retreating figure. He hadn't expected that at his age—well past 50, a seasoned old fox by any standard—he would actually be outmaneuvered by her.He had underestimated her. But it was fine. This was only the beginning. From here on out, they would see whether the younger generation had truly surpassed the old, or whether the old fox still had the sharper claws.After receiving her so-called investment from George, the first thing Maeva did was buy an electric car. She picked the cheapest model—it was small, compact, and only about 30,000 dollars. Without a car, getting anywhere

Soon, however, George pulled himself together. He knew Maeva had come to him for something. Compared to Matthew, she was much more promising. It was a pity she was already married and utterly love-brained. There was only so much trouble she could really stir up.He cleared his throat and pulled out his usual excuse. "Maeva, you're a woman, and you don't know anything about running a company. Besides, think about all those business dinners and drinks—can you really handle that? There's no need for you to suffer like that. Just focus on taking good care of David. That's better than anything.""What's wrong with being a woman?" Maeva smiled pleasantly. "No woman can depend on a man her whole life. Besides, Scarlett is a woman, too. She's your only daughter, and she's supposed to take over from you someday."George had only one daughter named Scarlett Pearson. She'd studied at a university abroad and had just graduated. She would be coming back to Dovia soon. And once she was back, Geor

Under the sunlight, the cracks were even more noticeable. Still, the fact that the bead could be saved at all was already a small blessing.Maeva paid, thanked the craftsman, and returned to the Pearson residence. As expected, Matthew, who usually just lay on the couch sunbathing, was nowhere to be seen.She sighed, turned around, and headed for Pearson Manor. The butler was taken aback to see her. "Y-You're here, Ms. Maeva."She usually only came by for major holidays. On normal days, she wouldn't take a single step into this place. She and George's family were the textbook definition of cordial on the surface and hostile underneath.Out of respect for Paula, who was still alive, the Pearsons all tacitly agreed to keep up appearances, acting like one big happy family so she wouldn't worry.George had taken over his late brother and sister-in-law's inheritance, company, and assets. All these years, he'd been terrified that Maeva and Matthew might one day take everything back, so h

At a jewelry store, a store clerk took the bead that Maeva handed over. He examined it carefully, then shook his head. "I'm sorry. We can't fix this here."She thanked him, left the store, and went to the next one. She moved from one jewelry store to another. Finally, an older craftsman at one of the stores took a look and said, "I can try to glue it back together, but I can't promise it'll work.""Okay. Just do your best to fix it," Maeva said.If it wasn't glued properly, the bead would completely shatter before long. When that happened, it would be ruined for good.The craftsman took out his tools and casually said, "This doesn't look that expensive. Is it really important to you?""It's a keepsake my parents left for me.""Oh, my." His hand paused for a moment. "Then if I can't fix it…"Maeva cut him off. "It's alright, sir. I won't blame you. I've been walking along this street for over half an hour. You're the only one willing to even try.""Alright, then." The craftsman

By now, Maeva had turned to look for the last bead again. Finally, she found it in a faraway corner. However, it had cracked. Several obvious lines ran through it. It seemed like a light touch would make it shatter into pieces.She carefully picked it up and placed it in her palm, not even daring to use much force. She'd found it, but it was damaged. What was she supposed to do? Could it be fixed? If it couldn't…The thought made her heart clench with pain as she looked over at Alaina again. Her gaze was so fierce that it was almost predatory, and Alaina shrank back to stand beside David in fright.Was that bracelet really that important? Important enough that David could just stand there and watch her get slapped without even defending her afterward!Alaina didn't dare ask. She only pressed a hand to her cheek and lowered her head so that her hair fell forward. She kept playing her pitiful act."Ally didn't do it on purpose," David said. "But you hit her anyway?"Maeva said, "Ye
