Chapter 290 âThen, Iâll do whatever it takes! I only want Maeve!â Sergioâs expression turned grim.
âLE Zion is going to support Marve, then Iâll face off against the Spencer family, Iâll do whatever it takes Maeve belonged only to him. He wouldnât allow anyone to have her, especially not Zion!
The members of the Scott family and Zionâs men quickly retreated.
Sharon, who was drenched in sweat from fear, patted her chest and exclaimed, âThat was terrifying. How could they be so brash?
âMs. Scott, Ithink you should have a talk with Sergio. What are we going to do if he refuses to give up on having you?â
âDonât worry about it, Aunt Sharon Maeveâs expression remained indifferent as she reached out to pull Zion. âCome with me.â
Zion obediently followed behind Maeve like a loyal dog.
Upon seeing this, Philip pondered. âZion, are you and Maeve dating?â
âPhill, are you out of your mind?â Sharon interjected.
âDo you know who Zion is? How could be possibly be interested in Ms. Scott? Sheâs a divorcee!â
âWhatâs wrong with being a divorcee? Arenât the both of us remarried?
âHowâs that the same?â
Sharon and Philip started arguing downstairs.
Meanwhile, Maeve pulled Zion into the room upstairs. She shut the door and asked, âWhy did you come here?â
If she remembered correctly, she hadnât told Zion to come along when she returned to the Scott Manor today.
âYou leaked the information about Clara to Sergio on purpose, did you?â
It was a rather ordinary tactic, but the way Zion brought it up seemed to carry a hint of jealousy Me didnât evade the topic. After all, the facts were clear Since she had already investigated the information early on, she had to put it to good use eventually.
The sooner Sergio Imew about it, the sooner Clara would end up in jail.
Zion murmured, âKnowing Sergio, heâd handle Claraâs situation first once he learned about the truth. Then, heâll come looking for you.â
âSo, you brought your men?â Maeve furrowed her brow, asking âWhy didnât you tell me beforehand?â
Zion pondered for a moment before replying, âCharlie said that swooping in to rescue a damsel in distress would make a more impressive entrance.â
âWhy is he teaching you that instead of something good?
her movement.
Maeve moved to open the door and release Zion, but he caught her arm, halting her move The room was dimly lit, casting shadows across their faces as he pushed her gently against the wall, his tone carrying a hint of bitterness.
âWho did you say youâll end up with in the future?â
Maeveâs eyes darted away briefly. âI donât remember mentioning anyone.â
âWhoever it is, if itâs not me, treat them like villains.â
âYouâre being unreasonable!â
âI never claimed to lie a good person either. â
Zionâs eyes twinkded in amusement. âWell, itâs because Iâve decided youâre my future wife.
Maeve pushed Zion away. âDream no!â.
As Marve opened the door, she spotted Philip standing outside.
for a second? Thereâs He seemed slightly awkward but tried to maintain his composure as he addressed her, âMavy, could you come out for a second:
something I need to discuss with you.â
âAlright, Uncle Phillâ.
Following Philip out, Maeve couldnât help but notice his subtle glance at Zion, who was still inside He asked in a hushed tone, âMaeve, can you be honest with me? This is about you and Zion...â Maeve interjected, âUncle Phil, weâre not what you think we are.â
