Never See You Again

Clara lowered her head upon hearing Sergio's words. She stood beside Sergio like a frightened bunny and nestled close to him.

Maeve's heart sank when she saw Sergio's unconcerned gaze, which mirrored his attitude from her past life. She had intended to express her gratitude, but now it seemed that Sergio didn't care at all. "I'm exhausted. You guys can just do as you wish," Marve said before heading upstairs.

Her mind was no longer focused on Sergio and Clara li Devon could so easily target her last night, then so could others. She couldn't rely on Sergio forever without any means of protecting herself. The next morning, Maeve saw Hailey sitting in the living room, just as she was about to leave Clara stood beside her, her eyes red, as if she had been crying.

"Mrs. Brooks Senior?" Maeve frowned. Hailey didn't usually visit them. What had brought her here today?

"I heard from Sergio that you've spent ten billion dollars for a piece of land. Is that true?" Hailey's tone carried a hint of accusation.

Maeve sat down in front of her and poured her a cup of tea. "That's correct."

"And you were kidnapped by some rivals last night?"

Maeve lowered her gaze and answered, "Yes."

"We're not an ordinary family. You should stay out of the limelight once you're married. Businesses are meant to be the men's affairs. Your top priority now is to conceive a child and prevent other people from swooping in.'

Hailey cast a sharp glance at Clara, who was standing beside Maeve

Clara tried to defend herself with teary eyes, "Mrs. Brooks Senior, I...!

Hailey stopped her. "You have no say here!"

Clara was taken aback.

"Sergio's taste is getting worse. He's now allowing just anyone to enter a place like this!"

Hailey's words reminded Maeve of her past life. Halley had used to defend her and despised Clara. However, it didn't last long.

Years later, the Scott family faced its downfall, and Maeve still couldn't conceive. At the same time, Clara became Sergio's strongest ally upon her return to the country.

So, she won Hailey's favor and was supported to replace Maeve's position as Mrs. Brooks. In the end, it all boiled down to personal interests.

Sergio overheard Hailey's words when he was about to leave. He frowned and said, "Grandma, Clara was injured last night. I was the one who had asked her to stay the night. Don't blame her."

Hailey sneered. "That's what you think. Well, it might not be the same for her. I came early this morning, and she had already prepared breakfast. I wasn't aware that there's a new Mrs. Brooks."

Clara's expression soured. She had intended to prepare breakfast early for Sergio, but she had been caught off guard by Hailey's unexpected arrival "I.. I'd just wanted to prepare brealdast to thank Marve and Mr. Brooks. I don't mean anything else by it," Clara stammered

Maeve observed Clara's demeanor and realized how naive Clara was at this moment.

Hailey had lived for decades. She had encountered all kinds of women before, so she could easily see through Clara's petty thoughts.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
