.
She had braced herself for the worstâcase scenario; at worst, Sergio would reveal her studies at Amenam University. She didnât care. She could just divorce Sergio ahead of time.
âI just donât understand, whatâs so good about a female university student? Mavy is prettier and more talented than her. Are you blind? How did I raise such a grandson!â Hailey shouted.
âItâs my fault, Grandma. Clara isnât to blame. Please donât involve her in this,â Sergio defended.
âYou!â Hailey stood up from the sofa, and said angrily, âI didnât want to interfere too much in your affairs, but with your current attitude... Donât blame me for being heartless!â
She turned to Larry and ordered angrily, âGo contact Amenam University immediately. Tell them to expel that girl named Clara. If Sergio dares to have any further contact with that girl, Iâll make sure that she canât survive in Seathburn City even if I have to use all my connections!â
Maeve watched coldly. Hailey indeed had such capabilities in the past, after all, she was Peyton Brooksâs first wife. However...
Hailey was no longer young, and the Seathburn today was fully dominated by Sergio.
He was no longer the obedient Sergio from his childhood, Sure enough, he stood up.
Hailey watched in disbelief while Sergio said, âGrandma, Iâve listened to you enough over the years. Clara is someone Iâve nurtured. I have no choice but to oppose you If you really want to harm her.â
âYou! Yo You!â Halley clutched her chest as she was deeply provoked.
âLarry, send Grandma back to rest. Her health is not good. Make sure she doesnât go out during this period,â Sergio ordered.
âYes, Mr. Brooks,â Larry replied after a pause.
Allie was startled, but she could only support Haileyâs arms with the fear she might faint from anger.
Maeve hadnât anticipated this turn of events as Hailey was escorted out of the Brooks Manor. For the sake of Clara, Sergio dared to stand up to Hailey and put Hailey in this situation.
âIs there anything else I need to do here? If not, Iâll leave,â Maeve said, not wanting to say much more to Sergio, As she turned to leave to go handle the Scott farmilyâs mess, Sergio suddenly spoke up, âDid the Scott family call you?â
âItâs hard to keep them in the dark when thereâs such a big scandal about you being a female studentâs sugar daddy,â Maeve answered. Sergio frowned. âMaeve, do you always have to speak so harshly?â
