Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 531 He Will Listen To Me #Finished
Just as Layla was about to say something, she was reminded that Maeve had undergone hypnosis by Harvey to reorganize her memories. Harvey had explained that it was due to some unfortunate experiences Maeve had endured, necessitating a change in her memories. However, this was something they couldn't reveal to Maeve. Even for someone as willful as Layla, she didn't dare to disclose this.
"So everything he said was true... Do I really stand no chance at all? He's really gone too far. Why can't he even spare me a glance?" Layla couldn't help but share with Maeve the infuriating memory from that night that left her utterly humiliated. "Mom, you know, a couple of nights ago, I dressed up really stunningly to seek his help, and he actually-
"You sought him out in the middle of the night?" Maeve exclaimed in shock, lightly knocking on Layla's head. "That's inappropriate."
Layla knew Maeve wouldn't scold her much. Unlike Harvey, Maeve was a very contradictory person. She was traditionally conservative herself, yet she let her daughter, Layla, have her freedom. Layla always felt that Maeve was subconsciously seeking some form of compensation through her, so no matter how bold and unrestrained she was in pursuing men, Maeve never harshly criticized her. At most, she would give her a few words of advice.
So, Layla continued to complain, "Most men simply can't resist it! But you know what? Not only did he refuse to save my contact number, but he bluntly told me, 'You like me? I will only ever love my wife, and I will never like you. So, don't be a nuisance in front of us! If you do this again, I won't show you any mercy! even if you bring up Grandma!" He actually said that to me. He... Huh? Mom? What's wrong?"
Layla paused mid-sentence as she noticed Maeve's stunned expression.
"What did he say?" Maeve suddenly murmured.,
Layla repeated it once more..
Maeve echoed in a murmur, "You like me? I will only ever love my wife, and I will never like you."
"Yeah, isn't it outrageous?"
Surprisingly, Maeve repeated herself, an act that seemed rather odd to Layla
"Mom, are you all right?" Layla suddenly remembered Harvey's reminder. "Mom, are you feeling unwell? Should I get in touch with Dad?"
Maeve's breathing quickened as she waved her hand dismissively. "No, it's just a headache," she said. "I need to rest now."
Layla was about to voice her grievances, but when she saw Maeve's furrowed brows and pale, pained expression, she was taken aback. She wanted to call a doctor, but Maeve stopped her.
I'm really exhausted, Lulu. Stay with me here tonight. Let's not go back and invite more trouble."
Having said that, she was about to succumb to her exhaustion and sleep.
Layla was still uneasy, so she sent a message to Harvey, However, there was no reply. She wondered if he had already boarded the flight.

At that moment, the same sentence was incessantly replaying in Maeve's mind.
Suddenly, she heard the voice of a young boy echoing in her thoughts.

"You like my dad? My dad would only ever love my mom. He would never have feelings for you." "You like my dad? My dad would only ever love my mom. He would never have feelings for you." "Ah!"
Maeve sat up so abruptly that it startled Layla from her sleep. "Mom?"

Maeve turned to look at Layla, her gaze entirely unfitting of her usual kind-hearted motherly expression.
"Mom?" Layla asked, a hint of unease in her voice. She couldn't help but notice that her mother's gaze resembled that of the patients who came to see Harvey for treatment.
Her eyes were bloodshot, betraying an inner turmoil of obsession and madness,
Suddenly, Maeve reached out and patted Layla's head, smiling as she asked, "Do you like Alexander
Layla paused for a moment, nodding somewhat uneasily.
"I'll let him marry you, all right?"
A spark of joy lit up Layla's eyes, but it was soon overshadowed by a furrowed brow. "Mom, are you all right? Can you do it?"
"He'll listen to me," Maeve revealed with a hint of a cruel smile. "I need to go to the attic on the rooftop to find something. If anyone asks for me, just tell them I'm still asleep, okay?"
