Chapter 485

Aeolian had a high and mighty attitude and let out a disdainful laugh. If Maeve was sensitive, she might have been devastated by Aeolian's mockery.

Maeve had seen all sorts of weird things in her years in the business, but it was the first time someone had personally attacked her and laid hands on her. "Ms. Soar, your noble birth doesn't mean your gilded shell can hide your ugly face. Your sarcastic words will make people doubt your upbringing," Maeve retaliated with a cold voice. She picked up the gown and two items from the table and was about to leave.

A sudden, searing pain in her scalp forced Maeve to stop.

"Aeolian, stop."

A sonorous male voice came from the garden entrance, interrupting Aeolian's attack.

Aeolian quickly let go and shouted in a panic, "Zephyr..."

Maeve rubbed the back of her head and looked at the handsome young man in a dark blue, high-end suit in surprise. 'He is also from the Soar family?' thought Maeve.

Zephyr's gaze stayed on Maeve for less than a second before moving to Aeolian's nervous face. He said deeply, "All guests should be treated with respect. Is this how you treat your guests? Or does it mean that years of teaching from the Soar family has only taught you to rely on your power to bully others?"

"Zephyr, I didn't," Aeolian said, blushing. She was usually most afraid of Zephyr. "I know I was wrong..."

"I'm not the one you hurt. You shouldn't apologize to me," said Zephyr.

Aeolian bit her lip and reluctantly said to Maeve, "I'm sorry."

"Ms. Soar, is this your way of apologizing?" Maeve asked casually, refusing to let Aeolian get away with it.

Maeve's words made Aeolian want to tear her apart, but Zephyr, her cousin, was watching.

She had no choice but to lower her head and repeat, with a humiliated expression, "I'm sorry."

"The Soar family is so wealthy, can't you even eat enough, Ms. Soar? Why are you speaking so softly?" Maeve mocked. Zephyr looked at her in surprise.

"I'm sorry! It was my fault. I apologize to you!" Aeolian almost shouted, like a shrew cursing in the streets.

Maeve chuckled and didn't respond. She picked up the clothes and left.

Aeolian gritted her teeth. "Zephyr, look at her! I've apologized to her. What's her attitude now?"

Zephyr frowned and said calmly, "Your intention of apologizing is only to obtain forgiveness, not to reflect on yourself? Go upstairs and reflect on yourself. You're not allowed to come out before dinner." "Zephyr...

"I'll only say once.

Aeolian stomped angrily. "Who's your sister? How dare you help an outsider!"

Then she turned around and ran into the house. Zephyr's words carried as much weight as her uncle's; she dared not disobey him.

Zephyr shook his head slightly. Aeolian was getting more and more willful.

Before Maeve could leave Mapledeca with her clothes, someone caught up to her.

Maeve saw the girls who had sat with Aeolian. She asked warily, "What's the matter?"

"Um... Can we buy these clothes?" The lead girl said embarrassedly. "We quite like the design and style."

Maeve was puzzled. "You're not friends with Aeolian?"

"Well, what friends are there before beauty?" The girl waved her hand. "I don't know what's wrong with her, but she's picking on such beautiful clothes. We're not blind."

Maeve instantly understood. 'So they are the fake friends,' she thought.

She said to the girls, "Although these gowns haven't been worn, they were custom-made. I planned to discard them, but I didn't expect so many people with good taste. How about this? Take these gowns as gifts. Then you won't find it difficult to wear them in front of Aeolian."

The girls were delighted and surprised. It was obvious those gowns were expensive, high-end custom-made products. Even if they wanted to buy them, it would be costly. When Maeve said they were going to be discarded, their hearts sank. They didn't expect Maeve to give them the gowns. "Is...is this okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm also happy that my clothes can be worn by someone who really appreciates them." More importantly, she could make Aeolian unhappy.

The gown Aeolian scoffed at ended up on her friends. The thought alone would drive Aeolian crazy.

The girls were charmed by Maeve's generosity. Compared to Aeolian, their impression of Maeve improved greatly.

They asked Maeve for her studio's contact information, planning to bring friends to visit.

Maeve didn't know about their plan. As soon as she got into the car, Will and Theo noticed her messy hair.

Theo familiarly stood behind Maeve and braided her hair, without even needing a rubber band. Will was amazed. "Why are you so proficient?"

"Mommy had to go to work in the morning and couldn't get up in the past. It was always me who braided Mommy's hair," said Theo, raising his head arrogantly. "This is called practice makes perfect."

Will's face was filled with envy. "You're amazing. I want to learn too."

"Sure. I'll teach you. We'll take turns braiding Mommy's hair in the future."

"How much is the tuition?"

Theo snapped his fingers. "Will is still the best." He rubbed his hands together. "I'll give you a 20% discount. I'll only charge you 13 dollars. Macarly will hold an event on Saturday. My favorite blue fatty will be included in that children's package!"

Will took out his small wallet, a pudding dog style from a store where Maeve had previously made a purchase. He carefully counted out 13 dollars and stuffed it into Theo's hand. "You'll teach me when we get home. Don't go back on your word."

"Of course. I, Theodore Reese, am a man of my word." Theo happily put the money in his wallet.

Maeve pretended to be dissatisfied. "Didn't you have to use my hair to learn? Why didn't anyone give me tuition?"

Theo blinked his big eyes. "Mommy, if I had slightly more than one million dollars, I would give it all to you. But I only have 13 dollars. It's only enough for a children's meal. If I give it to you, I'll have to eat nothing!"

Will, already short of money, lowered his head in shame. "Mom, I... I'll definitely repay you when I grow up."
