Chapter 26 Sergio actually caught a hint of seriousness from Maeveâs words.
Night had fallen, and Zion was sitting at his desk. He had just ended a call with Amenam University.
âHow did it go?â Charlie asked.
âShe passedâ
Charlie froze momentarily. âPassed? She actually passed?â
Despite Zionâs serious expression, Charlie still wasnât willing to believe it. âDid you call the university beforehand?â
âShe got in with her own hard work. I had nothing to do with it.â
âOh my god,â Charlie gasped. His jaw was almost touching the floor. âThatâs pretty impressive. I remember reading about her being a foreign languages major back then. That has nothing to do with the exam she just passed.â
âSheâs a language genius. A woman who got her bachelorâs degree at 17 years old could never be called unintelligent.â
Ever since he saw how Maeve got her hands on that piece of land, heâd known she had the confidence that she could win Things were starting to get interesting In the afternoon the next day, Maeve was leaning against the window and reading a book on finance. Allie knocked on the door and asked, âMadam, the stylists are here. Are you free to meet them?ââ
âWhatâs going on?â
âArenât you attending your familyâs gathering tonight, Madam?â
Maeve frowned.
There were so many things going on in the past few days that she had completely forgotten about going back to her familyâs mansion that night, She massaged her brow.
If the gathering wasnât exclusively held only once a month, she wouldnât have attended âOkay. Let them come in,â Marve said as she put her book down.
Since the Scott family used to be an important family, they kept the tradition of holding a family gathering every single month.
The party was mandatory for anyone who still had the surname âScottâ.
âWhereâs Sergio?â
âMr. Brooks left rather early this morning. Heâs probably busy.â
Mave took out her phone and called This time, he picked up very quickly.
Maeve said, âItâs the Scott familyâs monthly family gathering tonight. Are you-â
Before she could finish her silence, he cut her off and said, âIâm busy tonight.â
âOkay.â She hung up.
Allie said, âMadam, why donât you try telling him that itâs the first time youâre going back to your family since you got married? If he doesnât go back with you, they might get the wrong idea.â
Maeve knew very well what she would face if Sergio didnât go back with her.
âWhatever. Iâm used to it anyway.â
Even if Sergio didnât go back with her, she wasnât scared to face her relatives.
The sky was slowly darkening by the time Maeveâs car reached the Scottsâ mansion.
Most of the Scotts had already arrived.
The doors opened and the crowdâs gaze landed on Maeve, who walked in in a long, teal dress that made her look poised and elegant.
âLook who it is! Itâs our esteemed princess,â Sharon Quinn said. She had always been mean and spiteful. âWhy isnât Sergio with you? Didyât I warn that it would be much better to marry into the Quinn family? The Brooks clearly donât care about you.â
