Chapter 331: Chapter 340

.

Chapter 340 The dining area of Serenity Hotel had been reserved by Sergio. The dim lighting and vintage music lent an air of ambiguity to the atmosphere as the chief laid out the dishes before them.

Maeve glanced at the dishes on the table and remarked coolly, “I thought you came to see me to sign the divorce agreement.

Today, the Brooks Group had been in turmoil, and there were not just dozens but hundreds of complaints from all levels of the company about her.

Under such p pressure, Sergio should be discussing divorce with her.

“Does Zion know about you and Zachary’s affairs?” Sergio suddenly interjected. He furrowed his brow.

“What do you mean?” Maeve asked. She was puzzled.

“Zachary went against the Brooks Group for you. Before your accident, you handed over the Scott Group to him. Your relationship must be special”

Maeve suddenly realized Sergio’s words.

Sergio believed Maeve had achieved her current status because of Zachary’s support.

Sergio never believed that a woman like her could have elevated the Scott Group to its current status. He couldn’t fathom that the once submissive Marve, who always followed him around, could be the one in control of Mirage Group.

“So, Sergio, you believe there’s something between Zachary and me?” Maeve twirled the drink in her hand.

She smiled and asked, “I’m curious, what sort of connection do you imagine? Merely physical, or...

”

“Maeve, in the past, I wronged you. That’s why I’ve had nothing to say about what you’ve done. But you shouldn’t degrade yourself like this!”

Sergio had never lost his composure in front of anyone before. Seeing him in such a state now, Maeve was unimpressed.

“Sergio, you don’t understand me at all. Since you don’t want a divorce, then there’s no need for us to continue this dinner.”

As Maeve stood up, Sergio tightly embraced her from behind.

Feeling trapped, Maeve frowned. “Sergio! Let me go!”

Sergio’s voice was low as he said, “That day at the police station, you intentionally had them release me. You still like me, right?”

Upon hearing this, Maeve stopped struggling and allowed Sergio to hug her.

Feeling the person in his arms no longer resisting, Sergio hadn’t even had a chance to feel relieved before Maeve uttered coldly, “I let you go because you had nothing to do with the matter, that’s all.”

Meanwhile, the driver had already dropped Clara off outside the Serenity Hotel. Through the glass window, Clara saw Sergio embracing Maeve from behind.

Clara seethed with anger. She immediately rushed into the hotel. The security guards didn’t stop her.

Clara wasted no time in pulling Maeve away, delivering a slap to her face.

“You slut! You’re about to get divorced, and you’re still trying to seduce Sergio. You have no shame.”

Clara’s loud voice startled the hotel guests who were checking in outside the restaurant. She drew many curious glances in their direction. Sergio, noticing the commotion, immediately shook off Clara’s hand from Maeve’s arm. “Are you crazy? Who told you to come here and cause Scene?”

“If you dare to book a room here with this woman, why wouldn’t I dare to come over? Sergio! Don’t forget, I’m carrying your child!

“Mrs. Brooks Senior has promised me that once you divorce, I’ll enter the Brooks family. How could you treat me like this?”

Clara’s tantrum drew the attention of the people around, prompting discussions among them.

Outside the restaurant, onlookers casted curious glances at Maeve and Sergio. The pregnant woman’s presence made them resemble a scandalous couple.

Larry rushed in and said, “Mr. Brooks!”

Sergio’s gaze swept over Larry like a sharp blade. “Who allowed her to come?”

“L. I...” Larry knew that claiming ignorance now was futile, Meanwhile, saneone in the bushes outside the hotel pressed the shutter button and quickly departed.

Maeve was growing impatient. She said coldly, “You two can keep arguing, but don’t bother me.

“Maeve, you can’t leave!”

Clara grabbed Maeve’s hand, her face twisted with jealousy and anger. “Everyone, come and see! This woman is trying to seduce my husband even though they’re getting divorced!”

As more and more people gathered to watch, Sergio’s expression darkened. “Clara, I indulge you too much.”
