Never See You Again

Lyra glared at Charlie, who immediately shut up.

"Alright, that's all for this incident. I'll pretend I don't know anything, okay?"

Maeve didn't want to trouble Charlie and Lyra.

Lyra nodded enthusiastically. Charlie's eyes also shimmered in joy.

Maeve returned to her home. Looking at the box of durians on the floor, she hesitated for a while before sending Zion a message. "Thanks for the durians. I love them, but please don't do that again."

Maeve pursed her lips. She thought that she didn't have to state things so straightforwardly. Zion was a smart person, so he should be able to understand what she meant.

In the evening, Lyra's new housing project was launched, so a celebratory dinner was held at Serenity Hotel. Lyra was considered part of the Spencer family, so the release of the housing project attracted quite a lot of attention.

Maeve accepted the invitation and attended the dinner as well. Her lake blue dress was quite stunning. She was just standing there, but she had already become the center of attention. "Mavy!"

Lyra ran over to Maeve in her high heels, throwing herself straight into Maeve's arms and giving Maeve a bear hug. Charlie was behind Lyra, carrying the hem of her dress. He almost couldn't catch up to her. "Slow down, Lyra! You're wearing high heels, for goodness' sake!"

Lyra ignored him, saying, "I'll be earning at least tens of billions of dollars from this project, so why can't I be happy about it ahead of time?"

"Alright, fine, if you say so."

Charlie would never say no to Lyra.

Maeve looked around them. She didn't catch sight of Zion.

Zion had probably given up after reading that message.

It was a good thing that he gave up,

Just then, Maeve caught sight of a familiar figure at the entrance of the hall. Clara was wearing a white dress, and the person behaving respectfully behind her was the general manager of Brooks Group, Raymond Jones.

Raymond said to Clara, "Ms. Stewart, Mr. Brooks is busy today, so he won't be able to make it. He asked me to help you familiarize yourself with the atmosphere here. He has high expectations of this housing project, and it's quite valuable in the industry as well.

"This is a great place for you to learn and establish new connections."

Clara nodded. Serenity Hotel wasn't particularly grand, and the decorations maintained a low profile. Still, Clara felt valued because Raymond was intentionally trying to please her.

Even though Sergio was mad at her because of her results, he didn't give up on her.

Sergio had told her to attend this event, after all. He was definitely doing it for the sake of her studies.

Just then, Clara caught sight of Maeve and Lyra, who were nearby.

When Clara saw Lyra, her face instantly turned pale.

She clearly remembered that Lyra was on the same team as Charlie and Zion.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Lyra spotted Clara as well. Frowning, she asked, "Who invited her? Does she think she's worthy to show up on the Jansens' territory?"

"Sergio was probably the one who asked her to come."

Maeve's voice was calm.

After all, Sergio pampered Clara a lot. Clara offended Lyra last time, so Sergio was probably giving Clara a

chance to apologize to Lyra.

Maeve didn't expect Sergio to consider so many things for Clara's sake.

"She's a homewrecker, and she has the gall to show up here?" Lyra immediately said to a security guard, Hey, drive her out!"

When Clara saw that, she immediately stepped forward, "Ms. Jansen, I was the one at fault last time. I'd like to apologize to you."

Clara wasn't speaking in a particularly loud voice, but everyone around them could hear her.

Maeve knew that Clara was skilled in this aspect. She had already witnessed Clara's technique of pretending to be a weak little flower and begging for sympathy.

But Lyra didn't fall for that. She said coldly, "Forget it. My family does not welcome people like you who become homewreckers on purpose Guards! Drive her away!"

When Clara heard that, she immediately looked at Maeve. She had a pitiful look on her face as she said, Maeve, you knew that I'm not that sort of person. Nothing is going on between Mr. Brooks and me, so why would you talk bad about me to Ms. Jansen in secret?
