Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1104

Maeve held two blockbuster press conferences in a row, drawing countless wealthy investors eager to get involved.

With such a massive pie up for grabs, it wasn't just Declan who was jealous; Mr. and Mrs. Fulton, veterans of the business world, couldn't help but turn green with envy.

They even urged their son to aggressively fight for a piece of the action, only for Declan to inform them that the moment he was forced to marry Nancy, he lost any chance at that immense wealth.

Only then did Mr. and Mrs. Fulton realize that allying with the Grover family hadn't been a wise move.

If Maeve had held her press conference a month earlier, they never would have forced their son into it.

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.

While Declan and Nancy were at each other's throats, Barton was drowning in his own sea of troubles.

The PR disaster brought on by Melissa caused the Grover Group's stock to plummet again and again.

The company's shareholders berated Barton in meetings every day for his poor decision-making, blasting him for ignoring domestic stars to pay an exorbitant fee for a foreigner against everyone's advice.

Not only did the new product's reputation tank, but the company's image took a massive hit.

Work was bad enough, but Claudia Beaumont was pressuring him at home too.

"I'm just going out for a drink with friends. Can you stop restricting my freedom?"

Seeing Barton about to leave less than ten minutes after getting home, Claudia pointed at the lavish, freshly prepared dinner on the table.

"Did you forget what day it is today?"

Barton genuinely had no idea what day it was.

Claudia said, "It's my birthday today. Shouldn't a husband stay home to be with his wife on such a special day?"

Barton wanted to say that women were too much trouble, always demanding ceremony over some random anniversary. It was annoying.

Claudia successfully arranged to meet Maeve in a private room at a local tea house.

Claudia had crossed paths with Maeve a few times before, but they had never spoken.

Claudia wasn't stupid. She had known since Nancy's public humiliation that Maeve and the Grover family shared a deep-seated blood feud.

Standing on the Grover family's side, she knew she shouldn't be associating with Maeve.

But subconsciously, she felt Maeve hadn't done anything wrong.

If she hadn't watched the live stream of Maeve's press conference, Claudia wouldn't have mustered the courage to meet her.

"Claudia, just speak your mind."

Honestly, even if Claudia didn't say anything, Maeve could guess the purpose of this invitation.
