Chapter 377 Charlie saw Lyraâs look and rephrased his sentence. âMs. Scott, donât get me wrong, Zion is rich, but his money isnât clean yet...
â
charlie was about to continue, but Lyra kicked him and glared at him. âWhat do you mean it isnât clean? What are you talking about?â
He immediately shut his mouth.
Lyra sat beside Maeve and said, âItâs something between the men. Just stay out of it. If Zee gets to be with you later, I think heâll give you the entire Spencer Manor as a wedding gin!â
Maeve blushed. âWhy... Why would I need a house as big as Spencer Manor?â
âHey, I was just giving an example.â
Lyra held Maeve and said, âIâll only acknowledge you as his wife! The other women can stay away!â
Maeve fell silent. Wealth had never been the thing she wanted.
It was just that she had experienced too many dramas in this life and her past life. If she could meet the right person, she only wished to live a peaceful life with him.
They would be an ordinary couple without betrayal, conspiracies, and lies.
The night fell, and the lights dazzled in the nightclub.
In a private room, Conner, who had defined features, wore a a black shirt shirt that revealed his chest slightly. He was gently swirling a glass of whiskey.
He arched an eyebrow and chuckled before he said in a deep voice, âMr. Brooks, Zionâs men have come just this moming, and youâre here now. Ms. Scott is truly remarkable. She could actually get you two to come!
â
Sergio sat across from Conner and said coldly, âI donât care what Zionâs man had told you, but Maeve is my wife. You have to pay the price for laying your hands on her in Seathbum City.â
The door of the private room was kicked open. A group of bodyguards in black dashed in. All of them were holding tasers.
Connerâs gaze turned cold.
Sergio placed the glass on the table, his face apathetic. âZion isnât the only person who holds power in the underworld.â
âMr. Brooks, Iâve never expected this side of you...
Conner stared at the group of bodyguards and said in a deep voice, âIâve only come to Seathburn City to look for my fiance. Mr.
Brooks, you have your wife, but you still made Nathalie pregnant and suffer. Iâll have to settle the score with you.â
ay for hitting Maeve.â
âMr. Jefferson, if you wish to do that, Iâll be waiting. But Iâll have to make you pay With that, those men next to Sergio rushed forward. The next instant, Connerâs men dashed into the private room, too.
Conner didnât bat an eye as he asked, âMr. Brooks, do you actually think Iâll come here alone?â
Sergio replied coldly, âIâll take down all your men today.â
Both sides refused to give in. They immediately started fighting because of Sergioâs words.
In an instant, the sounds of people fighting and crying echoed in the private room.
Connerâs gaze grew colder. âMr. Brooks, you donât give a damn about me at all.â
Sergio sneered. âYouâre wrong. I donât give a damn about the Jefferson family.â
Conner narrowed his menacing eyes.
Then, Sergio said to Larry, âBring that person who hit Mrs. Brooks today.â
âOkay, Mr. Brooks.â Larry faced the door and exclaimed, âBring him in!â
Conner frowned and saw someone being brought in by two bodyguards. The people in the private room immediately stopped fighting.
That personâs face was full of bruises. He had been tied up and was kneeling on the ground.
Sergio instructed nonchalantly, âChop off the hand that he had used to slap Mrs. Brooks.â
