Chapter 311 A resounding slap echoed through the room, catching Sharon off guard and sending her sprawling to the floor. Her cheek reddened and swelled instantly.
âMaeve! How dare you hit my mom?â James shouted, rushing to defend Sharon.
w dare you hit my m But Maeve, calm and composed, met his outery with another slap. James tried to retaliate but was swiftly overpowered by Zionâs men, who pinned him to the ground.
Crouching beside James, Maeve locked eyes with him as he struggled. âDonât think I donât know those photos were of your doing.â James glared at her. âSo what if they are? Are you going to send me to jail again? You selfish, vicious woman!
âYou took everything from me! Isnât that enough?! Now you want to destroy me, too! Let me tell you, Iâm not that easy to crush!â
James tried to break free, but one of the men resisted James and punched him hard. âStay down!â
The blow instantly silenced him Maeve, seeing Jamesâ defeated state, scoffed. âI let things slide before because youâre Uncle Philâs son. But that doesnât mean you can do whatever you want.
âListen carefully, James. My father was the one who built the Scott family, and Iâm the rightful heir. My position is not for you to covet.â âNonsense! The Scott family is mine! Maeve, do you have any conscience left? Did you forget who took you in when your parents died? It was my dad! After all my dad did for you, you treat me like this? You ungratefulââ
âSmack!â Another slap interrupted him.
Sharon rushed to shield James, shouting, hysterically at Maeve, âMaeve! Youâre going overboard! Heâs your brother!â
âBrother?â Maeveâs voice was cold. âDid he think of me as a sister when he tried to kill me? Or when he sent those photos after sending me to Sergioâs bed?â
She stared coldly at Sharon. âI should have told you long ago. I brought my fatherâs wealth into this family, not vice versa.
âYou didnât support me. I supported you guys instead, so donât lecture me about morals. You two donât have the right to do so!â
Jamesâs face was drained of color. âStop your nonsense! Maeve, youâre just after the Scott familyâs assets. Well, let me tell you, my dad has already given it to me!
âIâm going to remove you from the family registry. You wonât be the Scott familyâs eldest daughter anymore, and you can forget about being in charge!â
Maeve frowned. âWhereâs Uncle Phil? What have you done to him?â
Philip would never hand over the family assets to a prodigal like James, Something was definitely off Sharonâs guilty expression confirmed it. Maeve grabbed Sharon by the collar, her eyes blazing with anger. âWhere is he? Tell me now!â
âIâI donât know... I donât know!!
Zion, sensing the urgency, ordered his men, âSearch the house!â
âYes, sir!â Zionâs men began a thorough search of the Scott Manor.
Maeveâs anxiety peaked, spreading chills to every corner of her body.
She had anticipated Sharon and James might target her but hadnât considered they would harm Philip, who had always been kind and lenient to them. How dare they harm their own family!
âFound him!â Someone shouted, and Maeve immediately released Sharon and rushed towards the basement, There, Philip w was found bound, with tape over his mouth and dried blood on his forehead. He was barely conscious as his breathing was taint Seeing him, Maeve urgently called out, â911... Call 911! Hurry!â
