Chapter 371 âConner Jefferson, why arenât you staying in Lentimas City to dominate the business industry there?â are you here in Seathburn City to make our lives difficult? What exactly are you trying to do?â
Lyra law Conner, as she was a reputable figure in Lentimas City too Conner looked calm. âIâm not making things difficult for you, Ms. Jansen. Iâm simply teaching Maeve a lesson.â
Now that Scott Group had gone bankrupt in Seathbum City, those from their circle thought they could trample the Scotts as they wished. It was normal in the upper class. Lyraâs face fell as she questioned, âAre you going against us then?â
âYes, What about it? Conner was firm.
Lyra scoffed. âMr. Jefferson, I bet youâve been dominating Lentimas City for so many years that you donât know the rulles in Seathbum City. Even if the Scott family has gone bankrupt, they still have me, Zee, and the Foster family backing them up!
âIf you help Clara go against Maeve today, I donât think youâll be able to leave Seathbum City.â
âAre you threatening Conser?â
With Conner backing her up, Clara spoke as she wished. She looked at Lyra and asked, âLyra, are you related to Maeve? Why are you siding with her? She refuses to divorce Sergio, but at the same time, sheâs playing with Zionâs feelings. You should hate her!â
âShut your filthy mouth!â
Lyra wouldnât be able to control herself once she lost her temper. Maeve was afraid that Lyra would offend the Jefferson family, so she immediately advised, âMs. Stewart, donât be med. It wouldnât be nice if you hammed your baby.â
With that, everyone fixed their gaze on Claraâs belly.
Everybody in the country knew that Clara was pregnant with Sergioâs child.
At the mention of the child, Clara tightened her grip around Connerâs arm and said, âMaeve, stop sowing the discord here. Iâve told Conner about my pregnancy. He told me that heâll treat my baby as his own.â
Oh? You were still crazily in love with Sergio not long a about your ex after finding yourself a new lover?
gago, and you took the Mrs. Brooks position more seriously than anything else. But now, youâve forgotten Lyra taunted as she looked at Conner âMr. Jefferson, itâs great that youâve accepted Clara, but I have no idea why youâre interested in her, sheâs just a liar. You have such a unique taste, Mr. Jefferson.â
Conner slightly furrowed his brows. Then, his men instantly slapped Maeveâs tight cheek, causing it to swell and turn red.
Lyra saw that and fumed. âConner Jefferson!â
âIâve already told you that even if I canât lay my hands on you, I can still do anything to Maeve.â
âYouâ
Clara felt delighted when she saw the blood at the corner of Maeveâs lips Back then, Maeve had been looking at her condescendingly. Now, she could finally trample on her.
âNathalie, letâs go.â
Conner held Claraâs hand, and the two left the restaurant. The Jeffersonsâ bodyguards left with them too. After they left, Lyra swiftly walked up to Maeve to check on her injury. âLet me have a look Is it bad?â
Maeve shook her head. âMy ears are ringing a bit. Iâll be fine after awhile.â
âThis damn Clara. How did she get in contact with Conner? Why would Conner fall for someone like Clara? He has such bad taste!â
âI think Conner is defending Clara because of the Ramoz family.â
Lyra was puzzled. âThe Ramox family? What do they have to do with this?â
Lyra then brought Marve to the hospital to get the injury on her cheeks treated. Meanwhile, Charlie followed Lyraâs orders and looked into the connection between the Hamne family from Seathbun City and the jetterson family from Lentimas City.
