Declan Fulton, the heir to the Fulton Group, was marrying Nancy Grover, the third daughter of the Grover Group.
The wedding date was set for the sixth.
Not only was it on the exact same day as Andres and Maeve's wedding...
The banquet hall they booked was just one partition away from where Andres was hosting his reception.
"Are you kidding me? Has Declan lost his mind? He's actually marrying Nancy?"
Maeve's good mood from the past few days shattered instantly upon hearing the news.
She immediately called Naomi, only to hear the automated message that the phone was turned off.
"Naomi is in trouble."
As her absolute best friend, Naomi had long been promised the role of bridesmaid at Maeve's wedding.
For Naomi to suffer such a betrayal at this crucial moment was absolutely devastating.
Andres hadn't expected Declan to make such a decision either.
"Knowing Declan, for him to suddenly agree to this, he must have been threatened by his family."
Before this, Maeve had noticed that Declan and Naomi's relationship was fraught with obstacles.
But as long as Declan was willing to fight against his fate, it wasn't impossible for them to have a happy ending.
She hadn't expected it to ultimately come to this.
Seeing Maeve's anxiety over Naomi's safety, Andres gently reassured her.
"Don't worry. I've already had Murray send people to track her down. As long as she's still in Aethelburg, she'll be safe."
Plus, Naomi wasn't some love-struck fool blinded by romance; she wouldn't do anything drastic over a man.
There were plenty of good men in the world.
If Declan wasn't the right one, she could just find someone else.
With Naomi's qualities, she could easily find someone better.
Just as Maeve was in the middle of an angry tirade, Declan's call came through.
The moment she answered, Maeve snapped, "What the hell are you doing?"
Declan's voice was heavy with exhaustion.
"I'm sorry, Miss Vance. I disappointed you this time."
"I'm only calling to ask about Naomi's whereabouts. I haven't been able to reach her since last night."
