Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 392

"If you keep drinking it," Natalia went on, "I guarantee you'll see results in less than three months."

While they spoke, Maeve came down the stairs at an unhurried pace.

Her appearance dropped a brief hush over the spacious living room.

Ariana recovered first and greeted her.

"Maeve—you're up."

Before taking this assignment, Ariana had gone through family training. She understood exactly what Maeve's standing was at Azure Bay.

Calling Maeve the lady of the house wouldn't even be an exaggeration.

Ariana truly did fear her, deep down—but the role she was playing was Andres's mother. In front of the real mistress of the house, she couldn't seem too meek… and she absolutely couldn't look arrogant either.

Not with Natalia watching for cracks that might ruin Andres's plan.

Maeve nodded politely. "Good morning, Ariana. You look well today."

Ariana smiled. "Thanks to Natalia. I actually had an appetite this morning."

Natalia had been wearing a gentle, agreeable smile—until she noticed Lucifer.

The moment Maeve walked closer with that terrifying blue snake, Natalia's smile drained right off her face. She stumbled back several steps, theatrical as a stage actress.

"Miss Vance, could you keep that horrible snake away from me?"

Maeve watched her with the dry, detached amusement one might afford a failing street performer. She didn't even slow down as she passed Natalia. She dropped onto the sofa with her usual take-charge energy, letting Lucifer roam as he pleased like a spoiled child.

When Lucifer spotted Natalia, he flicked his tongue at her—blatantly provocative, like he was daring her to scream.

Natalia turned pale and started trembling, glaring at Maeve with a mix of fear and accusation.

Maeve lightly flicked Lucifer on the head. "Don't be naughty."

The tone was pure indulgent parent—more encouragement than scolding.
