Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 369

Even though Maeve didn't follow the entertainment world, she recognized her instantly.

Nevaeh Mendoza—the current queen of the screen.

She wore a sizzling red dress, and the second she entered, she was the only person there—everyone else was just background noise.

Some women looked like they'd been born for spotlights.

Nevaeh was one of them.

Her face was stunning, her body long and elegant, her aura razor-clean. Even her brows carried a kind of bold authority.

Not long ago, Nevaeh had released a photo spread that had practically broken the internet.

She'd styled herself in a more androgynous look—a crisp white shirt, black trousers, a loosened tie hanging casually at her throat.

She'd nailed that dangerous, charming edge.

Since then, she'd exploded. Her posters were everywhere, and the brands she endorsed were all top-tier luxury.

No one questioned her place at the top.

Landon acted as if Maeve didn't exist. Smiling at Nevaeh, he said, "Since you finally had time to stop in Aethelburg, the person you wanted to see—well, there he is."

From the moment Nevaeh walked in, her eyes had been glued to Andres.

She handed her purse to Landon and hurried toward Andres, arms already opening for a hug.

"Andres! It's been so long!"

Just as she was about to reach him, Andres lifted a hand and stopped her at arm's length.

"My Maeve has a bit of a germ thing," he said coolly. "She doesn't tolerate me getting too physical with other women."

"Keep a respectful distance, and we can still be friends."

No one expected Nevaeh—who had practically thrown herself at him—to get rejected in front of everyone.

The air turned awkward instantly.

Especially for Nevaeh.

Maeve, dragged in as the human shield for the second time tonight, thought:

This party was turning into a full-blown drama.

She ate her noodle soup lazily, watching the spectacle between bites.

Landon hadn't expected Andres to treat Nevaeh like that. He put on an innocent face.

"Andres, who pissed you off? Why are you blowing up all of a sudden?"

"Nevaeh had a booking—she was supposed to fly out for a launch event."

"But when she heard you'd be here tonight, she canceled everything just to see you."

He might as well have announced: "She's crazy about you."

Andres gave Landon a mildly amused look.

"So by your logic, what should I do?" he asked. "Pull her into my arms and kiss her in front of my woman?"
