Chapter 275 1/1 He just hadn’t expected what he had learned was nothing compared to Hailey.

In the past, Hailey had liked Maeve because the latter would be of good use to her.

Now that Maeve had died, Hailey favored Clara, whom she used to dislike, only because Clara was pregnant with the Brooks family’s child.

For the first time, Sergio felt disdainful of his family.

Seeing that Sergio stood rooted to the spot, Hailey was baffled as she asked with a smile, “Sergio, what are you standing there for? Go up and get some rest. We’ll handle the matters here.”

Hailey seemed to have arranged everything. Sergio’s voice was cold and devoid of emotions as he said, “Since you love testing here, I’ll leave it to you Η Before Hailey could grasp the meaning behind Sergio’s words, he had turned around and left.

Clara saw that and asked aggrievedly, “Grandma, is Sergio mad?”

“Let him be. He’ll come back once he’s thought things through.”

Hailey looked indifferent. When Sergio was y young, she had had someone teach him to conceal his emotions. However, Sergio had become emotional ever since he met Maeve.

Sergio had run away from home when he was young, but he still returned home in the end.

Because he knew there was no place for him in the world out there. He was nothing without Brooks Group Outside Brooks Manor, Larry saw Sergio coming out and was shocked. “Mr. Brooks....”

“Go back to the office”

“Okay.”

Larry sent Sergio to the car. Sergio ordered coldly, “Stop the rumors regarding Maeve’s death from circulating and stop the invitation to Maeve’s funeral from being sent out.”

“Mr. Brooks, I’m afraid I can’t do this.”

Sergio frowned at his reply. Larry continued, “I’ve just received news from the company. Mrs. Brooks Senior contacted all the higher–ups in the company before she prepared for the funeral.

“Since we’ve fallen out with the Scotts, Mrs. Brooks Senior wishes to cut ties with the Scotts as soon as possible. And the best solution is to hold a funeral and file for divorce.”

Seeing that Sergio remained silent, Larry added, “Although Mrs. Brooks Senior doesn’t handle the company affairs now, she’s the oldest in the Brooks family. So her words still carry weight...”

Π Sergio’s voice turned colder. “I’m the one who holds the reins of the Brooks family, and I shall call the shots. They shouldn’t stay in Brooks Group if they refuse to listen to me.”

Larry saw Sergio’s grim look and knew he was infuriated. Then, he said, “Mr. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks Senior’s decision is undoubtedly helpful to the Brooks family. The higher–ups could tell. That was why they didn’t turn down her suggestion. Brooks Group will be at risk if we have an internal conflict at times like this.”

With the issues that had happened externally and internally these days, Brooks Group couldn’t afford to take another blow. They had to come up with solutions as soon as possible. If not, the business they had taken a hundred years to build would end in Sergio’s hands.

“Are you refusing to listen to me now?”

“Mr. Brooks, this is for the sake of Brooks Group...”

For the sake of Brooks Group. He had heard this many y times since he was you young Everything he had done was for Brooks Group, and he hadn’t done anything of his own will.

Back then, he had married Marve for Brooks Group.

Now that Maeve had died, he would hold a funeral for her and divorce her for the sake of Brooks Group.
