Chapter 284 âSergio! You canât take me to the police station! Iâm carrying your child! Are you really going to send the mother of your child to jail?â Clara shouted desperately, but Sergio showed no mercy.
âGag her,â he commanded.
âYes, Mr. Brooks!â
His men grabbed Clara and Belle, dragging them down to the basement.
âMmph! Mmph!â
Clara screamed desperately, but it was to no avail.
âClara! Clara! Save me! Help!â Belle grew even more terrified, but the next moment, her mouth was gagged too.
In the basement, Larry hesitated. âMr. Brooks, if Mrs. Brooks Senior finds out about this...â
âLay low about it. Make sure this doesnât get out.â
âIâm afraid we canât hide it for long.â
Mrs. Brooks Senior valued lineage the most. Now that a woman was finally carrying Sergioâs child, she wouldnât give up Sergio didnât have the mood to dwell on this matter. He simply instructed, âDrive me to the Scott Manor.â
âYes, Mr. Brooks.â
The news spread like wildfire, especially with the sensational story of Maeveâs survival.
At the Scott Manor, Sharonâs expression darkened as she flung the newspaper across the room.
on the child easily.
âThat girl, Maeve! Why on earth would she stage her death? If she wasnât dead, couldnât she have at least said something? This is nothing but a farce!â
The newspaper landed right by a pair of red high heels.
Maeve smirked and asked, âWho are you talking about, Aunt Sharon?â
Upon hearing Maeveâs voice, Sharon jumped up as if sheâd seen a ghost.
Her shock only intensified when she saw Maeveâs face.
âMs. Scott..â
Maeve raised an eyebrow. She was dressed in an elegant burgundy gown and was draped with a white fur stole, looking exceptionally refined. âAunt Sharon, why do you look like youâve seen a ghost? Arenât you glad to have me back home?â
Sharon smiled awkwardly: âOf course not, Ms. Scott. Iâm just thrilled that youâre back safely.â
As Maeve casually sat on a sofa, Sharon glanced around. She noticed that Maeve was accompanied by four bodyguards and no one else. âMs. Scott, did you come back alone?â Sharon asked cautiously.
âYeah, Aunt Sharon. Who else did you expect?â Maeve replied nonchalantly, âWhat about Mr. Brooks...â
Sharon was aware of the news about Maeve filing for divorce.
Observing Sharonâs eyes that were filled with anticipation, Maeve smiled and said, âIâve already handed the divorce papers to Sergio. I wonât be returning to the Brooks family anymore.â
Upon hearing Maeveâs answer, Sharonâs stuile vanished instantly. âWhat? Are you really getting a divorce?â
âOf course,â Maeve responded firmly. âAlter Sergioâs affair and him getting his mistress pregnant, why wouldnât I divorce him?
Shouldnât you be happy for me, Aunt Sharon?
