Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 682

Not long after returning home, Slade used his iron-fisted tactics to snatch back the Trident Group—the empire his father built—from his uncles' greedy hands.

During the process of reclaiming his family fortune, Andres naturally lent him a hand from the shadows.

Even though the two of them often fought tooth and nail over resources abroad.

Once back in their own country, they remained good friends who had each other's backs.

In the business world, connections meant profit. Both Andres and Slade understood this rule perfectly.

It was precisely because of this shared history that Andres could confidently assure Maeve.

"Slade has a bad temper, but his character is trustworthy."

"If he says he won't make things difficult for Jasper after it's done, he means it."

"If he breaks his word, you won't even need to step in. I'll head straight to Port Caspian to settle the score with him myself."

Maeve suddenly said, "Thank you."

Andres looked confused.

"Why the sudden gratitude?"

Maeve took the initiative to serve Andres some of his favorite food.

"I heard you canceled the reception Corbin Shaw set up just to help Jasper out of that mess."

Andres chuckled dismissively.

"I can go to a reception anytime. But if something happened to Jasper right under my nose, I'd feel guilty."

Maeve knew Andres did all this entirely for her sake.

She could also sense his changes and the effort he was putting into their marriage.

Understanding that Maeve wasn't very expressive when it came to feelings, Andres deliberately changed the subject.

"Maeve, our paths are deeply intertwined. Not only are we both members of Red Gate, but we almost crossed paths in Africa."

Although their current situation was a bit awkward, it didn't stop Andres from trying to get closer to Maeve.

He never expected Maeve to have been involved in the same territories he once dominated.

Maeve also felt a strong sense of destiny between them.

"I never expected the rumored KING, The Young Tyrant of Africa, to be you."

"Maeve, how did you end up owning a mine over there?"

When Andres and Slade were carving out their empires abroad, Maeve was probably still in middle school.

The fact that she had the skills to set up complex arrays around a gold mine at such a young age sounded unbelievable.

On second thought, Andres realized he was being too narrow-minded.

Maeve was only in her early twenties and already possessed incredible skills. Her genius likely manifested the moment she started learning.

That was the fundamental difference between an absolute prodigy and an ordinary person.

Maeve didn't hide it from him.

"The gold mine you and Slade were eyeing was a birthday present from my dad."

"Over the years, I've steadily extracted gold from it, and I've poured all the profits into my research."

After a moment of thought, Maeve suddenly asked.

"Whitty, are you still interested in that mine?"

"If you are, I'll give it to you as a thank-you for helping Jasper."
