.

Chapter 296 Maeve extended her hand politely, but just as she was about to shake hands with Serena, Zion quickly grabbed Marve’s hand and strode off into the crowd.

Serena’s sible froze, but Zion didn’t even spare a glance at her.

“Isn’t that Mrs. Brooks? Why is she holding Mr. Spencer’s hand in front of everyone?”

“I’ve always thought that they had a strange relationship. I never expected them to be dating before the divorce has even been confirmed. ”

“Wasn’t Serena supposed to be Zion’s flancée? This is going to be interesting.”

The three noblewomen whispered among themselves.

However, at the next moment, several bodyguards approached them.

“My apologies, Mr. Spencer wants the three of you to leave.”

One of the women exclaimed in annoyance, “Why should we leave?”

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a chilling glare upon her. She suddenly lost her composure once she saw Zion. She meekly complied and left.

Upon seeing this, Serena felt even m well on you more uneasy. She approached Zion an and said, “Zee, Mrs. Brooks is married. Your actions might not reflect When Maeve heard Serena addressing Zion as “Zep“, she retracted her hand. “Ms. Norman is right. It might affect your reputation.”

“I don’t see how it’ll affect my reputation for tending to my future wife.”

Zion grasped Maeve’s hand firmly once again. He scanned the surroundings and added, “If any of you even think about spreading rumors, you’ll regret it.”

Serena’s eyes welled up with tears upon hearing this. “Zee... what do what do you m mean by that?”

Her gaze shifted between Marve and Zion. She was confused and filled with unease. “You and Mrs. Brooks. The both of you...”

Meanwhile, Charlie and Lyra rushed over as they sensed something amiss.

Charlie couldn’t help but interject, “Zion, Ms. Norman’s body is delicate. Don’t scare her like that!”

Serena clutched at Zion’s hands, her voice trembling with disbelief. “Zion, you promised that you’ll be responsible for me for the rest of your life. How could you marry someone else? Besides, Mrs. Brooks is already married! What you’re doing is wrong!”

Lyra frowned and took on the role of Zion’s older sister for once. “Zion, you need to explain things clearly to Ms. Norman, or I won’t be able to defend you in front of Maeve ”

“I’d promised to be responsible for you, but I didn’t say that I’d marry you.” Zion’s words struck Serena like a heavy blow, leaving her in tears.

Lyra was taken aback. “Zion, did you really promise to take responsibility for her? The two of you...”

Meanwhile, Maeve furrowed her brows. At that moment, Serena fainted in Charlie’s arms.

“Ms. Norman!” Charlie supported Serena and promptly signaled to the security guards to escort Serena away while Zion frowned.

Maeve glanced sideways at Zion. “You promised to take responsibility for her, but you didn’t say that you’d marry her? Zion, is that what you meant by not having anything to do with her?”

With that said, Maeve shook off Zion’s hand and walked away from the party.

Zion still wanted to explain, but Charlie called out to him, “Damn it, Zion! Handle this situation first! If anything happens to Serena, how are you going to face Mr. Norman?”

Zion pressed his lips together as Serena was loaded into an ambulance.

Lyra, now furious, demanded, “Zion, be honest with me. What’s going on between you and Serena?”

“Yeah, did you really promise to take responsibility for her? You two...”

Charlie made a gesture, hinting at his suspicions.

Zion frowned, “I promised to look after her because Jeffrey had entrusted her to me on his deathbed. What else could it mean?

“Wait, what? He entrusted her to you on his deathbed?” Charlie looked stunned, as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing
