Chapter 126 âSo, you think my words were too harsh.â Maeve couldnât help but scoff, âThen, have you ever thought that words that are a hundred times harsher than that will hurt me too?â
After a few seconds of silence, Sergio said, âIâll take care of it.â
âYou donât have to.â Marve turned around to leave âWhy didnât you tell me that people were gossiping about you at school?â
Maeve paused. It was as if sheâd heard a joke. âWhy didnât I tell you?â
Maeveâs tone upset Sergio. He frowned and said, âIf you told me, I wouldâve-
âWill you believe me if I told you that the person who started the rumor was Clara?â Maeve immediately interrupted Sergioâs sentence.
Sergio was stunned. He replied, âI already asked Clara. She said she didnât do it.â
Maeve sneered, âThen, thereâs no point in discussing this any further.â
Sergio already made it clear that he believed in Clara. When Maeve was about to walk k away, Sergio grabbed her arm and said sullenly, âDo you think Iâm trying to protect Cla?ââ
âYouâd I know if you are!â
âYou donât even know if I ordered someone to look into it. Why are you so sure that Clara was the one who started it?â
Sergio was extremely forceful. He wasnât going to let Maeve leave at all.
âMaeve, are you sure youâre not just jealous of Clara? And thatâs why youâre accusing her?â
âLet go!â Maeve angrily shook Sergioâs hand off.
When he saw e saw the resentment in her eyes, Sergio felt his heart skip a beat.
in me, so thereâs no point in us talking about this.â
She said coldly, âJust admit it, Sergio. You believe in Clara more than you believe in m After saying her piece, Maeve left Brooks Manor while Sergio was stunned in place.
Meanwhile, the Scotts were having stew for dinner. Everyone looked at Philip nervously.
âMr. Scott, do you think Ms. Scott will actually divorce Sergio?â
âShe canât divorce him. If she does, what will happen to our projects?â
âThatâs right. Mr. Scott, hurry up and call her!â
Their discussions went on and on. Philip already stopped paying attention to them.
Maeve wasnât answering his calls, and he couldnât reach Sergio at all. Who knew what they were fighting over this time?
Sharon laughed. âIn my opinion, thereâs no way theyâre getting divorced.
âEveryone in Seathbum City knows Ms. Scott loves Sergio. Even if Sergio happens to be cheating on her with some university student, sheâll just look the other way and feign ignorance to keep her position as his wife.â
Suddenly, the door to Scott Manor opened. Marve heard Sharonâs harsh words at the doorway. She finally understood that to Sharon, she was just Sergioâs loyal bitch.
âMs. Scott is here!â
Sharon immediately straightened up when someone announced Maeveâs return. She acted like a sophisticated lady who did no wrong.
Philip looked at Maeve like she was his lifeline. He immediately ran to her.
âMavy! Mavy, youâre finally back! Tell me, whatâs the meaning of this?
âDid you fight with Sergio? Who on earth is that university student? Was Sergio mean to you?â
