Chapter 268: Chapter 277

.

Chapter 277 Soon, it was the day of the funeral Clara wore a black dress, and her belly was still flat. However, she held it on purpose, as though she couldn’t wait to let everyone know she was pregnant with the Brooks family’s child.

Hailey greeted the guests, but she didn’t see Sergio anywhere.

She asked Clara, who was next to her. “Where’s Sergio?”

Clara shook her head and replied, “I have no idea. I haven’t seen him since this morning.”

After some time, Larry ran over and said to Hailey, “Mrs. Brooks Senior, Mr. Brooks said he isn’t coming today.”

“He isn’t coming? How could he?”

Sergio and Maeve hadn’t divorced yet. The outsiders thought they were a loving couple. It was improper if the husband wasn’t present at his wife’s funeral.

Hailey frowned and said, “Tell Sergio to come now. Just tell him this is my order. Don’t regard me as his grandma if he refuses to come today!”

“Okay, Mrs. Brooks Senior.”

Larry hurriedly left the place.

“Who is that woman next to Mrs. Brooks Senior?”

“I bet you haven’t heard about it yet. She was the college student Mr. Brooks had supported previously. I heard she’s pregnant with Mr. Brooks child. They’ll get married after she gives birth to the child.”

“Mrs. Brooks has just passed away. The Brooks family is too cruel.”

Just then, noises came from the crowd.

“I–Isn’t this Mrs. Brooks?”

“Isn’t Mrs. Brooks dead? Why is she here?”

The noises from the surroundings rang in Hailey’s and Clara’s ears.

Clara immediately sensed something was wrong. She looked up and saw a woman wearing a black dress and a chiffon hat.

Maeve looked cold and elegant. She became the center of attention as soon as she stepped in.

Hailey looked grim when she saw Maeve.

“Marve Scott?”

Hailey thought she was mistaken.

She wondered why Maeve could still come back alive when she had fallen into the sea.

Larry saw Maeve show up in the church in perfect condition and smiled. “Ms. Scott, you’re still alive?”

Maeve ignored the crowd and walked to the center of the church. She saw a huge frame in the church. It was a black–and–white photo of her.

“How could this be? How come Maeve is still alive?‘

Clara’s face looked extremely grim At that time, she had seen Maeve falling into the sea. It was impossible that she would still be alive.

Seeing Clara’s sullen expression, Maeve smiled faintly. “Ms. Stewart, you seem unhappy that I’m not dead.”

Clara felt her knee go weak, and she almost lost her balance and stumbled backward. She had to pretend to look calm in front of the crowd, so she forced a smile and said, “Why would t? Maeve, I’m glad that you’re back.”

“Are you glad or afraid?”
