Chapter 174 Maeve handed the ring box back to Sergio. âGive this to the girl you truly like. Iâm tired of being Mrs. Brooks.â With that, Maeve turned and walked away, leaving Sergio standing alone.
That night, Maeve returned to her apartment. The Internet was flooded with news about Mirage Group and Brooks Group, with rumors spreading about the two companies being at odds.
Some said Brooks Group was about to fall, jeopardizing its position as the top dog In Seathburn City. Others speculated that the boss behind Mirage Group had significant backing and that Sergio was powerless against them.
There were even rumors that Sergio was just a lackey for the boss of Mirage Group, and now that Mirage. Group had returned, they were out to eliminate this selfâproclaimed king.
Lyra couldnât stop laughing as she looked at the news online.
Maeve leaned back on the sofa, feeling helpless. âYour laughter is shaking the bed. Donât disturb the neighbors downstairs.â
âBut donât you find it funny? I really want to see Sergioâs expression when he sees this,â Lyra said, almost in tears from laughing.
That arrogant guy, Sergio, who always thought so highly of himself, was being rumored to be someone elseâs lackey! If it were her, she would probably be bedridden with anger for a while.
Seeing Maeve looking pensive, Lyra asked, âWhen you went back to the Brooks Manor today, did Sergio suspect you?â
âHe did, but it wasnât quite what I expected.â.
âWhat do you mean ânot quite what you expectedâ? How can suspicion be different?â Lyra was puzzled.
She then hugged a cushion, ready to hear the story.
Maeve said, âHe gave me a ring today and said... he likes me.
Maeveâs words were concise and to the point, leaving Lyra stunned. âAre you talking about Sergio?â
âYes,â
âWhy do I feel like this is something my foolish little brother would do?â Lyra rolled her eyes.
Maeve rested her chin on her hand and pondered. âSergioâs affection should be for Clara. He must have said this to me because of the emergence of Mirage Group.
âAt this point, Brooks Group canât afford any more scandals, He wants to keep me in check. As long as we donât get divorced or cause trouble at this time, heâll save himself a lot of trouble.â
Maeve repeated, âYes! It must be like this.â
How could Sergio possibly like her? Whether in the past or this reincarnation, Sergioâs preference for Clara had never changed, âJust recently, he was showing off his affection for Clarn everywhere, taking her with him wherever he went. There were even rumors that he doted on Clara to the core, helping her put on high heels, draping a coat over her shoulders, and introducing her to business executives.
âYou mustnât soften your heart. Menâs words can be deceiving. I think youâre right. Sergio must want to keep you in check, especially since you have the Scott familyâs backing.
âBut Clara has nothing. And now, with the emergence of Mirage Group, Brooks Groupâs people are even less likely to let him marry Clara.â
Maeve also found Lyraâs reasoning reasonable.
The following day, Maeve began to deal with Brooks Group. She didnât directly target the major projects of Brooks Group but instead started with some insignificant projects.
but they were often corrupt Large enterprises like the Brooks Group might seem glorious on the surface, inside. As the saying goes, appearances could be deceiving, and the larger the enterprise, the more flaws it may have.
Initially, the Scott family was also a large enterprise, appearing glamorous in recent years. But only a few insiders knew about the internal situation of the Scott family.
âMaeve, come over and organize the documents.â Suddenly, a middleâaged womanâs cold voice reached Maeveâs ears.
Maeve snapped out of her thoughts and replied, âOkay, Syndy.â
