Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1031

Maeve wanted to keep explaining, but Titus Reed clamped a hand on her shoulder.

"I need to speak with him alone," Titus said.

Maeve was more than happy to wash her hands of this mess.

"Fine, you two chat. I'll get out of your hair."

Titus pointed a finger toward the inner bedroom.

"Go get some rest."

Maeve's face scrunched up in defiance. "Titus, I'm not even tired."

He wasn't having it. "You are."

Maeve stared at him.

Whoever invented older brothers had clearly designed them as a form of sheer torture.

She shot Andres White a desperate SOS look, silently begging him to help her escape.

Had it been anyone else, Andres wouldn't have hesitated to put them in their place.

But this was Maeve's brother. He had to show some respect.

Besides, judging by their banter, it was obvious the siblings actually had a solid relationship.

It proved that, deep down, she respected Titus as a good brother; otherwise, she would never have submitted so meekly.

"Maeve, I actually agree. A nice afternoon nap sounds perfect for you right now," Andres said smoothly.

She was absolutely speechless.

She thought Andres would back her up, but he completely threw her under the bus at the critical moment.

Under their combined pressure, Maeve reluctantly shuffled into the bedroom Titus had designated for her.

To be fair, the massive king bed was incredibly comfortable, and it didn't take long for her to hug a pillow and drift off to sleep.

Out in the presidential suite's living room, both Andres and Titus had dismissed their respective bodyguards.

Titus sized Andres up for a long moment before finally breaking the silence.

"Mr. White. Your reputation precedes you."

Andres's commanding presence didn't waver in the slightest.

For a second, Andres didn't quite process the implication.

Then the pieces clicked into place, and the sheer scale of the revelation hit him.

Titus had been off the grid for a while. Had he spent that entire time tearing down the Grovers' international safety nets?

Hans had mentioned earlier that before Nancy Grover started causing trouble, Thatcher and Faye Grover had been desperately trying to salvage their foreign assets.

Rumor had it that a mysterious competitor had completely devastated the Grovers' overseas empire.

He never expected Titus Reed to be the phantom architect behind their ruin.

High society whispered that the new head of the Reed Group was a corporate prodigy, pulling off ruthless miracles at a young age.

Andres had assumed it was exaggerated gossip. Now he realized that some men were actually far more terrifying than their legends.

As far as anyone knew, there was absolutely zero bad blood between the Grover family and the Reed family.

Titus had spent over a year painstakingly obliterating the Grovers' international network for one simple reason: he was clearing the path for his little sister.

In that moment, Andres felt a surge of genuine, profound respect for the man sitting across from him.

He truly was Maeve's brother. They shared the exact same ruthless, uncompromising style.
