Chapter 180
Maeve’s eyebrows lightly furrowed.
Seeing Maeve’s displeasure, Sharon immediately turned to the household staff and said, “How could you be so careless? Hurry up and prepare new clothes for Ms. Scott to change into!”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Scott! I’ll prepare the clothes immediately.”
The household staff kept profusely apologizing, while Sharon added, “This household staff is new here. She’s young and not very skilled at her work. Ms. Scott, please don’t mind.”
Sharon instructed the household staff again, “Why haven’t you taken Ms. Scott upstairs to change clothes yet?”
“Yes, Madam.”
quided her upstairs.
The household staff timidly approached Maeve and guided her upstairs.
Maeve glanced back at Sharon, feeling something was amiss. Sharon wouldn’t dare to play any tricks, no
matter how bold she was, a
it was the Scott family’s banquet.
The household staff led Maeve to a quest room on the second floor and then handed her the new clothes.
“Ms. Scott, please change here. I’ll wait for you outside.”
Maeve nodded.
After the household staff left, Maeve carefully inspected the clothes. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with them.
Could it be just an accident?
Maeve shook her head. The clothes seemed fine, so she decided to change into them first.
Maeve took off her dirty clothes and rinsed herself in the bathroom. She then put on the clothes prepared by the household staff and walked out of the bathroom.
As soon as Maeve stepped out of the bathroom, she felt dizzy and lightheaded. Her whole body was weak and limp.
She thought, “This is strange…”
She had checked carefully when she came in, and there didn’t seem to be any problems.
How could it be…
Suddenly, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the door. Maeve furrowed her brows lightly.
Before entering, she took precautions and locked the door from the inside so no one could enter.
Sure enough, there were a couple of attempts to open the door from outside, but the door remained
locked.

Maeve asked warily, “Who’s there?”
She was on the second floor. If there was any commotion, people downstairs would be able to hear it.
There was no response from outside.
Maeve reached for the phone in her bag, only to find it missing.
Someone had tampered with her bag when she was downstairs!
At that moment, Maeve heard a key being inserted into the door.
“Creak…”
The door slowly opened.
Maeve’s vision was blurred, and she could barely make out the scene in front of her.
“Ms. Scott, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
The man’s voice sounded lecherous.
This voice… It was Gordon!
Maeve tried to stay alert, but her body uncontrollably collapsed onto the sofa.
Gordon didn’t seem in a hurry. He immediately locked the door after entering the room.

Gordon approached, eagerly rubbing his hands together. “Don’t resist. Since Sergio doesn’t want you, I’ll
take you.”
“Get lost!”
Maeve tried to push Gordon away, but her body refused to cooperate.
“Sharon said that after today, you’ll be mine! Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you!”
Maeve felt nauseous hearing Gordon’s voice.
Gordon cornered Maeve against the wall, and she could feel her consciousness fading. She lifted her hand, took off her brooch, and fiercely stabbed the needle into her arm.
The intense pain brought back some of Maeve’s senses.
Gordon showed no intention of letting Maeve go. “Good girl, you can’t escape today. It’s better to serve me well. I won’t mistreat you when you’re a part of the Quill family.”
