Never See You Again

“Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks Senior is pretty upset right now, so please try not to take anything she says personally,” Allie advised.

“I understand.” Maeve walked down the first–floor hallway to Hailey’s room and locked on the door.

“I’m not moving out! Don’t even try to convince me!” Hailey’s voice was sharp.

“It’s me,” Maeve said calmly.

There was a brief pause before Maeve heard the door unlock. She opened it to find Hailey sitting on the bed, her expression tight with anger. “Mrs. Brooks Senior, are you still mad at me? Maeve asked.

are

the act, Maeve. Just because Sergio has a soft spot for you doesn’t mean you can waltz into the Brooks family and do whatever you want. Men ar

nedictable.

“He was into Clara before, and now it’s you. Who knows who’ll catch his eye next? When Sergio stops defending you, where will that leave you?” Hailey’s tone was icy

Maeve was unfazed. “Yes, men are unpredictable. So, whoever Sergio likes in the future is none of my concern.”

“What do you mean?”

“Mrs. Brooks Senior, you should know that if I don’t reconcile with Sergio now, the Brooks family will face some serious consequences,” Maeve said. Hailey frowned.

Maeve continued with a smile, “I get it, Mrs. Brooks Senior. You’ve only ever dealt with money and haven’t managed any of the Brooks Group’s operations. You wouldn’t know that the company’s stock has taken a nosedive in recent months”

“Maeve, stop with your theatrics! The Brooks family is far too big and influential to be brought down by just one person. Do you think I’m clueless about

that?”

“Things have changed. The scandal involving Sergio, Clara, and me has severely tarnished Brooks Group’s reputation. Many of our business partners have cut ties with us because of it.

“So, reconciling with Sergio is crucial in stabilizing Brooks Group. If you keep opposing me, we might as well go our separate ways. I have nothing to lose and won’t hesitate to drag you down with me.”

Hailey stood up, enraged. “Maeve! How can you be so heartless? If it weren’t for me, would you even be “Mrs. Brooks‘ right now? You claim to love Sergio, but now you’re trying to harm him! Are you even human?”

Maeve’s smile faded. “Mrs. Brooks Senior, I’m indeed heartless. If you keep provoking me, I guarantee the Brooks family won’t have a moment of peace. “If we can coexist peacefully, I’ll divorce Sergio in six months. That way, you won’t have to deal with me anymore. How does that sound?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hailey frowned and asked skeptically, “Will Sergio agree to this?

“Of course.”

“Fine. I won’t

make thin

make things difficult for you, but I’m not moving out”

Maeve nodded since there was no room for negotiation. “Alright, if that’s how it is, I don’t care if you stay or leave.”

Maeve turned to leave, but Hailey called out coldly, “Maeve! Even if you divorce Sergio, don’t think you’ll get any of the family inheritance!”

“Don’t worry. I couldn’t care less about the Brooks family’s money,” Maeve retorted with a dismissive tone.

Hailey sneered, finding it hard to believe that Maeve wasn’t interested in the family fortune.

Maeve walked out of Halley’s room and said to Larry in the living room, “Take me to the Hoffman residence.” “But Mrs. Brooks Senior…!!

“She’s not moving out anymore. Just take m

take me to the Hoffmans. I’ve got things to discuss with them.”
