The Maupay Family
Seeing that Maya was insistent on urging her to have dinner, a thought surfaced in Sally’s mind. Since
she was staying in Imperial Garden, Sally perceived that it was best to have a good relationship with
Maya. By doing that, she was confident that she could proceed with what she was about to do next
more conveniently. Thus, she consoled Maya and went to the dining room with her.
As they were on their way to the dining room, Maya shot an indicative glance toward Kyle, who was
standing in the corridor. Seize this opportunity, Kyle!
Not long after, both of them arrived at the dining room and sat down.
Looking at the food on the table, Maya heaved a sigh. “I wonder where’s Mommy right now. Did she
have dinner already? Is she hungry?”
When she saw Maya’s melancholic expression, Sally did feel a little remorseful. However, it was not as
if she had no other choices regarding that matter.
She then comforted Maya and uttered, “Mrs. Seet is a good person. I’m confident that she will be safe.
Don’t worry.”
“Really?”
Sally nodded against her conscience in response.
“You’re right. Mommy has saved many lives. Not only that, she has done many good deeds. Why does
she disappear suddenly then? Anyone who intends to scheme against and hurt a good woman like
Mommy is a heartless wretch and deserves to face the wrath of heaven!”
Consequent to that stinging condemnation from Maya, Sally felt exceedingly disturbed.
She never imagined that a forthwith lass like Maya could utter a denunciative remark in such fashion.
Afterward, Maya shifted her gaze toward Sally and asked, “Do you think what I’ve said has a point?”
Sally cleared her throat and nodded in agreement. “Yes, it does.”
“I think such a person deserves a punishment more severe than the wrath of heaven. I want that
person to—”
“The dishes are getting cold, Maya. You should eat first.” Sally urged Maya to have her meal as she
was afraid that she would pronounce harsher words.
In response, Maya let out a deep groan while staring at the delectable food on the table. “As I’ve said
earlier, I have no appetite. I’m too worried about Mommy.”
Pondering for a few seconds, Sally handed the fruit platter to Maya. “Have some fruits then.”
As she looked at the fruits on the platter, Maya perceived that eating fruits was a great idea as that
could dally more time for Kyle.
“Let us eat together then.”
“All right.”
While they ate the fruits, Sally noticed that Maya was eating very slowly. Since Maya had mentioned
that she was worried about Nicole earlier, Sally did not have much thought and assumed she had a
loss of appetite.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Juan saw Kyle walking out of Sally’s room and was curious. “Why are you looking
for her?”
“Nothing.”
“She’s having dinner with Maya downstairs.”
“I know.” With that, Kyle left.
Subsequently, Juan directed his gaze at the leaving Kyle while furrowing his brows. He’s aware that
Sally is not in her room. Why did he still go in then? How mysterious.
He then followed after Kyle when he was entering Evan’s study room.
Once he reached the study room, Juan saw Kyle standing in front of their father’s wooden desk and
was telling him with seriousness, “All done, Daddy.”
“Excellent. This woman is a mystery, Kyle. I hope you can unravel her secrets rationally.”
“I have a question, Daddy. Draven has found out about the Maupay family earlier. Does she have a
history with them?”
In an instant, Evan’s countenance turned grim when Kyle mentioned the Maupay family.
Concerning the Maupays, they were a very mysterious family. Back then, they rose to fame within a
few months in Y City but vanished again not long after. Due to their temporalness, there were multiple
versions of why they disappeared deduced. Some of them involved Evan.
Those accounts claimed that Evan had commanded his men to uproot the Maupay family behind
closed doors as he was concerned that they would usurp the Seet family’s reputation.
For Evan, such an accusation was not only at the height of absurdity but unreliable. A claim like that
had certainly mythologized him into the undisputed murderer Lucifer.
