Chapter 333 Sergio didnât want to argue with his grandmother who raised him, so he left the banquet without saying one word.
Hailey stood still she tried to comprehend Sergioâs words from earlier.
âWhat does that mean?â
Halley looked at Clara beside her and asked, âWhat did Sergio mean by that?â
âI have no idea...â
âs expression turned grim. âIt canât be. It canât be that the Scott family is now more powerful than us,â she muttered.
Claraâs e The Brooks family was the dominant force in Seathburn Cityâs business circle, and everyone know that, So how could the Scott family, who were already on the decline, suddenly surpass them?
Larry couldnât contain himself and spoke up, âMrs. Brooks Senior, youâve disrupted Mr. Brooksâ entire plan today!â He didnât elaborate further and quickly went to find Sergio.
âMes irs. Brooks Senior, please donât worry. This is all Ah!â
Before Clara could finish her sentence, Hailey slapped her.
Claraâs expression changed instantly. Hailey gave her a cold look and said, âItâs all your fault! You wretch, itâs all because youâve seduced Sergio. Otherwise, how could the Brooks family have such a scandal?â
Clara didnât dare to speak up, even in anger.
After all, she hadnât married Sergio yet. She still needed Mrs. Brooks Senior to act as a matchmaker for her.
Clara bit her lip and said, âI know what happened between Sergio and me is disgraceful. But that night, Sergio forced me. Now, Iâm carrying the child of the Brookes family in my belly.
âI canât let the child be without a household registration and unable to enter the family in the future.â
Hailey valued lineage greatly. So upon hearing Claraâs words, she suppressed her anger and said, âIf Marve had a child back then, you would still have any chance now?â
After her remark, Hailey turned to leave. She disregarded Clara as she walked away.
Though Clara felt resentful, she dared not disobey Hailey.
She immediately followed behind Hailey and said, âPlease rest assured, Mrs. Brooks Senior. Once Sergio and Lare married, I will wholeheartedly support him in his work. After all, I am a graduate of Amenam University, and Sergio has helped me.
da you think âI wonât forget his kindness, and Iâll take good care of you in the future. If you wish, I can even stay at home to tend to the household and children...â
Hailey simply looked down on women like Clara due to her background and paid no attention to her words.
Meanwhile, Maeve was still in the car. She watched Clara being deliberately left outside by Hailey, finding it amusing, Halley remained unchanged. Even though she knew Clara was pregnant, Clara was nothing more than a lowly existence in her eyes. As long as Clara gave birth to that child, Hailey could even discard her at will.
Mrs. Brooks Senior was indeed skilled at making grand promises.
Bryce spoke up, âDid you never intend to cooperate with the Brooks family from the beginning?â
âYeahâ Maeve said, âIf I cooperate with the Brooks family once, it would inevitably lead to a second time. Itâs better to find a way to completely sever the Brooks familyâs desire to work with us.â
âI canât decide if youâre cunning or heartless, especially considering he was once your husband,â Bryce remarked.
Sergio and I were only married by name. Heâs never sh Maeve instructed the driver, âTake Bryce home first.â
âYes, Ms. Scott,â the driver replied.
shown me any mercy, so why should I show him any?â Maeve replied In the rearview mirror, Mave noticed the driver adjusting the brim of his cap She Croward and asked, âYouâre not our regular driver, are you?â
