Chapter 128 “That’s enough! Speak another word, and you’re out of this house!” Philip roared, silencing everyone.

Although Philip was always amiable and kind, no one dared to go against him whenever he got angry.

“Uncle Phil... Thank you.” Maeve’s voice was very soft. She knew the Scott family would suffer if she divorced Sergio right now, but she swore not to let them suffer for long see him in Maeve stayed at the Scott Manor until evening came. After sending the members of the branch familles off, Philip asked Maeve to see the study.

Philip no longer looked as young as he used to be. His face was marred by wrinkles and concem. “Mavy, does Sergio... mistreat you?”

“It’s less of him mistreating me and more of him not liking me.”

“What about you?”

Maeve stayed silent. She used to be infatuated with Sergio, but it was all in the past now Upon seeing her expression, Philip patted her shoulder and sighed. “Mavy, it must’ve been difficult for you, wasn’t it?”

Maeve shook her head. “Uncle Phil, I’d like to discuss something with you.”

“Does it have to do with you and Sergio?”

mily for a a while.”

“No. I want to take over the Scott family Philip looked at Maeve, confused. He said, “Mavy, I know you learned a lot at Amename University recently.

“If you want to gain some experience, I can let you lead some of the small companies our family owns. But if you insist on taking over the family, I’m afraid that-

“I know, Uncle Phil. You’re worried that the others might not trust me. Besides, they’re still resentful toward me for deciding to divorce Sergio.

Philip nodded. “I’m glad you understand.”

“Then, can you please let me take over some of our family’s companies that are suffering losses?”

“Companies that are suffering losses?” Philip looked confused.

“That’s right. Companies that are suffering losses.” She needed to accomplish something and give them hope to make the Scott family willingly bow down to her.

When Maeve walked out of the study, she felt something bash her on her back. Tuming around, she saw James in casual attire.

James was now 17 years old. He was more than one head taller than her. He stared down at Maeve.

“Maeve, I’m warning you. Don’t you dare snatch my inheritance from me!”

“James, is this how your mom raised you to be? I’m still your older cousin, you know. I can forgive you for hitting me, but how dare you speak to me in that tone!”

“Bullshit! Don’t even mention that you’re my cousin. We raised you!

“You’re e just some woman, while I’m the Scott family’s only heir! When the time comes, all the inheritance will be mine!”

Maeve’s eyes darkened. The reason James could say those things at such a young age was because of Sharon’s influence.

Maeve couldn’t believe how much Sharon wanted the Scott family’s inheritance, Marve scoffed, “Who taught you to say such things?”

Upon hearing her words, James looked guilty. “No one taught mel”

“Is that so?” Maeve said coldly, “You better watch your mouth if you don’t want to be kicked out of the house. If this happens again, I’ll put you back in your place.”

“Do you really think I’m scared of you, Maeve?” James sneered.

“You’re divorcing Sergio, so no one’s going to protect you anymore. You should know your place and beg Sergio for forgiveness instead. Then, maybe he’ll be merciful and let you stay as his wife for a few more days.”
