Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1040

Maeve watched the video finish and looked up. "What's the meaning of this?"

Sarah offered a bright smile. "Consider it a peace offering."

Maeve raised a brow. "For me?"

Sarah retrieved her phone and locked the screen.

"Rumor has it that Boss Bright of Spark Industries just underwent a highly customized secondary heart transplant. His recovery is miraculous, and the surgeon who pulled it off... was you."

Right then, Maeve immediately figured out what Sarah actually wanted.

"Who in your family is dying?"

Sarah's calm facade instantly cracked.

"My dad. He collapsed in the bathroom three days ago. Massive myocardial infarction."

"The doctors say bypass surgery won't do any good at this stage."

"He's only fifty, Maeve. He's the absolute pillar of our family."

"If he dies, the Foster family will completely collapse."

"Please, save him. Name your price, set any condition, and my family will meet it without hesitation."

Sarah had never in a million years imagined she would end up begging Maeve for her father's life.

She had gathered through elite gossip networks that Maeve harbored a deep loathing for both Nancy and Landon.

Conveniently, Sarah also despised them both.

She had been dining at the revolving restaurant earlier and had personally witnessed Landon's sleazy proposal to Nancy.

After Nancy stormed off, Sarah hatched a brutal plan and hired a crew to teach Landon a lesson he wouldn't forget.

Hence the delightful video she had just presented to Maeve.

It clearly demonstrated that Sarah knew exactly how to buy someone's favor.

Swiping past the final scan, Maeve said, "Chasing miracles overseas is an option, but it's a massive drain on resources. Plus, in his fragile state, a long-haul flight could easily kill him mid-air."

Sarah wholeheartedly agreed.

"My mom and I are terrified of risking a flight. That's exactly why I brought you that peace offering—I was praying you had another way."

Maeve looked up, meeting Sarah's desperate gaze.

"I have a way. The real question is, do you trust me?"

Sarah leaned across the table, dropping her voice to a conspiratorial whisper.

"I heard a rumor that the legendary Shadow Healer is actually you."

Sarah had spent a fortune tapping into deep underground channels to verify that impossible piece of information.

When she first heard it, she refused to believe it. Maeve was just way too young.

But once the news of Benjamin Bright's miraculous recovery leaked, Sarah realized the young woman sitting in front of her was nothing short of a god.
