Chapter 14 Only Sergio could be deceived by Clara. After all, his admiration for Clara made it difficult for him to see through her.
âWell, itâs not a big deal. Clara still has classes today. Iâll send her to school first.â Sergio gave Clara a look to signal to her to Hailey said indifferently, âMarve and I are going shopping today. Come along with us since you donât seem busy.â
âBut Clara...â
âLet Larry send her. Youâre the dignified CEO of Brooks Group. Donât bring down your own status.â Her words were final.
Clara bit her lip and said, âMr. Brooks, itâs fine for Larry to send me to school. Donât make Mrs. Brooks Senior upset.â
Clara then politely bowed to Hailey. However, Halley remained unimpressed.
Sergio pursed his lips and said, âIâll send you out.â Clara nodded.
o leave. Clara seemed grateful.
As Sergio accompanied Clara out, Hailey turned to Maeve and said, âSergio is young and could be easily deceived by vixens like her. You should be more vigilant Maeve nodded, but she secretly hoped that these two would progress faster.
âIâve noticed that youâve been putting less effort into Sergio lately.â Hailey held Marveâs hand and said, âYou need to capture his heart as soon as possible, or at least give birth to a baby boy first. You can keep a manâs heart once you have his child.â
âI understand, Mrs. Brooks Senior.â Maeve smiled in agreement. But in reality, it was impossible to capture Sergioâs heart and to conceive his child Sergio didnât like her, so even though they were married, they had never shared a bed. Where would the child come from?
She had struggled to conceive Sergioâs child in her past life. But in Sergioâs eyes, no one was worthy of bearing his child, except Clara.
At the age of 27, Maeve had died tragically on the operating table because of some complications during childbirth. And even at her last moment, Sergio couldnât wait for her to die. Maeve felt as if a stone was resting on her heart as she thought about her tragic end.
Hailey looked at Marveâs solemn expression and assumed that her gloominess stemmed from not being able to share a bed with Sergio. She said, âDonât worry, Iâll handle this matter.â
After Sergio sent Clara off, he saw Maeve and Hailey talking w go ahead first. I have something to discuss with Marve.â
when he returned. He said, âGrandma, Iâve asked the driver to bring the car around. Please Hailey was of course pleased to leave the two alone so that they could spend some time together. After she left, Sergio asked coldly, âMarve, what are you up to again?â
He had thought that Marve had settled down over the past few days, but it seemed like she was up to something new Marve frowned. âIâm not planning anything.â
âIâve told you many times. Clara is just a student that Iâm sponsoring. She will contribute to the company in the future. She poses no threat to your position as Mrs. Brooks, so you donât have to go out of your way to harm her, let alone use Grandina.â
âSerpo, I told you that Iâm not planning anything. If you hadnât told her about the recent incidents, she wouldnât have come today, let alone rup Clara staying overnight â
Sergioâs eyes narrowed slightly âThatâd better be true Marve saw the distrust in Sergioâs eyes. But that was the, she didnât expect Sergio to believe her anyw Marve got into to the car with Sergio, and he pretended to hold her hand affect Chapter 15
