Seeing the two finally hold hands, Maeve couldn't help but sigh. It truly was the season of love; it seemed everyone around her was finding their own happiness.
What Maeve didn't know was that while she was at Benjamin's house, someone was blowing up her phone.
She had accidentally left her phone in the car when she got out.
At that very moment, the device was buzzing relentlessly on the passenger seat.
On the other end of the line, Simon Grover had lost track of how many times he had heard the automated voicemail prompt.
Maeve simply wasn't answering.
"Boss, maybe we should just stay out of this," his personal bodyguard suggested.
Five minutes ago, Simon had received a call from a servant back home, informing him that Nancy had hired someone to plant a bomb in Maeve's car.
Nancy's goal was to blow Maeve to pieces.
The servant who passed the message was a spy Simon had planted in the estate. Any sign of trouble was immediately reported directly to him.
In a wealthy and powerful family like the Grovers, dirty and despicable schemes were a daily occurrence.
To ensure maximum benefit and survival, Simon had to keep the entire board under his absolute control.
While cleaning, the servant had accidentally overheard Nancy discussing the bomb placement with someone.
Reading between the lines, it was obvious that the target was Maeve.
It wasn't that the servant favored Maeve; it was a matter of life and death, and the servant didn't dare hide something this massive from Simon.
Simon had anticipated that once Nancy recovered from having her kidney removed, she would undoubtedly seek revenge.
He just never imagined her revenge would involve blowing Maeve up.
The Grover family was already hanging by a thread.
If news broke that Maeve was killed in an explosion right now, Andres White would absolutely annihilate the Grovers.
That would be the beginning of a true, inescapable nightmare for the family.
With that grim thought, Simon dialed Maeve's number again.
