The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 585 Chapter 585

"I hav

to go abroad on a business trip tomorrow, but I'll make sure to return by the day of your family recognition banquet," Byron said casually as he withdrew his hand.

Maeve nodded. "There's no hurry. It's still a week away."

For this family recognition banquet, every detail from the venue arrangements to the floral decorations was personally finalized by Gale, who demanded perfection to the utmost degree. Therefore, it took a long time.

However, Maeve did not know that Byron's trip was not a simple business trip. At the same time, he had to deal with some remaining problems.

Warren ran away. He was too much of a threat to Maeve. If he could not be locked up or completely eliminated, he would be a time bomb.

Byron did not plan to tell Maeve about this matter. She only needed to wait patiently for the banquet.

The day before the banquet, Gale gathered all of the Soar family's relatives and held a small family banquet, He planned to officially introduce them to Maeve at the banquet.

With his order, no one from the Soar family was absent. No matter how busy they were, they all rushed over to attend the appointment.noveldrama

Before the luncheon began, Maeve was fussed over by stylists, changing into nearly five different gowns, leaving her almost numb from the ordeal.

Will and Theo were still beside the stylists, discussing which makeup should match which hairstyle, truly treating their mom like a Barbie doll to be dressed up.

At this moment, a person suddenly barged into the room.

"Why are you here?" Adam was still holding the doorknob. When he saw Maeve in front of the dressing mirror, he frowned. "Who invited you?"

He thought, 'This is the Soar family's banquet. Who would be so insensible to invite irrelevant people over?'

"Baby, put more hair on this side," Maeve said to Will who was tying her hair. She looked at the dissatisfied Adam through the mirror. "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. Adam said, "How is it unrelated? If you get in our way here, who will be responsible?"

"Anyway, it's none of your business. Please go out and close the door. It's very rude to barge into a lady's dressing room like

this."

"How pretentious you are." Adam clicked his tongue impatiently and turned to leave. He wanted to ask who had hired this

woman.

Maeve did not take him to heart. She closed her eyes and allowed Theo to touch her face with the small brush.

After everything was done, Damian came over to inform Maeve Miss Soar, I'll take the two kids down first. Please come down after everyone is seated."

"Did Dad arrange this too?" asked Macve.

"Yes, Mr. Soar said that this would be more ceremonial." Damian held back his laughter. He had never seen Gale so nitpicking.

Maeve was also very helpless, but she could only satisfy her father's small wish.

In the dining room, every seat was taken around a nearly 6.5 fee long square table. Gale sat at the head, with the rest of the attendees seated in order according to their seniority.

No matter how powerful the Soar family people were outside, they would behave in front of the current family head, Gale.

However, today they noticed that the first seat on both sides of Cale was empty.

They guessed, 'If one of them is for Zephyr, who is the other one prepared for? Who would have the honor to sit in the seat closest to Gale like Zephyr?'

Adam didn't pay attention to this. His back was straight and tense as if he was waiting for an officer to review him.

Aeolian asked him softly, "Adam, do you know why Uncle Gale asked us to come here?"

"I'm not sure," Adam replied stiffly. "Don't talk to me now. I'm nervous."

"What are you so nervous about?" asked Aeolian.

Aiden smiled and said, "In the entire family, Adam admires Uncle Gale the most. Every time he sees Uncle Gale, he's extremely nervous."

Ryan swirled the wine glass in front of him. "Aren't you the same? Don't tease Adam."

"I should say that we're all the same," Jaxson said slowly.

Adam suddenly remembered what happened in the dressing room and turned to ask them, "Which one of you called Maeve here? Can't you tell what's going on today?"

Ryan and Aiden did not react. Jaxson held his chin and smiled as if he was watching a good show. "If she comes too, it will be exciting." The psychological hint he had given her might flare up at this moment. 'That'll be fun.'

"Adam, have you seen Maeve? Is she here too? Where is she now Aeolian asked excitedly.

"You didn't bring her here?" asked Adam.

Aeolian replied, "Of course not. I didn't even know she'd be here today."

Adam frowned. "This is strange. Then how did Maeve...

At this moment, Gale, who was sitting at the seat of honor, spoke up, "I called everyone here today to announce a very important joyous occasion. I hope to share my joy with you."

A happy occasion?

"Gale, what's the good news?" Amber was the first to ask. "Stop keeping us in suspense."

"That's right. We've been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Don't tell me you're going to reinstate yourself as commander-in-chief?"

"No." Gale denied his brother's guess. His cold eyes were filled with a smile. "More than 20 years ago, my daughter was stolen by a traitor when she was born. I searched for her for more than 20 years but to no avail. Now, my wish has finally been fulfilled." Amber was overjoyed. "This is great! God bless us!"

"You asked us to come here today so that our niece can meet us, right? Then where is she?"

"Yeah, yeah."

The elders were overjoyed, and the juniors were excited and happy.

"Uncle Gale's daughter? Isn't that our cousin? It's really not easy to find her after more than twenty years." Ryan was a little interested and sat up straight.

Aiden smiled gently. "If that kind of human trafficker falls into my hands, I will make him spend the rest of his life in prison."

Jaxson couldn't play with the pocket watch anymore. "Why didn't I hear news before? Who could it be?"

"It doesn't matter who it is. She just returned to the Soar family, so she should be quite uneasy. As her brother, I will often come and play with her," said Adam seriously.

"think you want to take the opportunity to talk to Uncle Gale. Dream on." Ryan laughed at him.

Aeolian felt envious when she heard that. She was originally the only little princess in the Soar family. Gale's daughter had just returned, but she had already stolen all the brothers' attention. 'Would I still have a place in this family in the future?' "By the way, why don't I see Zephyr? Aeolian suppressed her jealousy and looked around for Zephyr.

Then Gale said, "I'll now introduce you to my biological daughter - Maeve."

As he gestured with one hand toward the dining room's entrance all eyes turned to Maeve who walked in at that moment, her arm linked with Zephyr's.

She was dressed in a pearlescent silk tight-fitting dress, the hem of which was adorned with clusters of brightly blooming magnolias. The buttons were embroidered with branches and leaves, offering a look that was both simple and elegant. Beneath a simple updo, her delicate face was lightly made up, glowing with a pearl-like luster under the crystal chandelier lights, dazzling and captivating.

Her appearance struck a perfect balance between casual beauty and formal solemnity, making it entirely appropriate for the

occasion.
