Chapter 416 Sergioâs expression darkened as he spoke in a cold tone, âGrandma, itâs time for you to leaveâ
âWhat? Sergio, are you seriously going to lecture your own grandmother now?â
âLarry, escort her out! Sergio commanded.
With Sergioâs firm tone leaving no room for argument, Larry nervously approached Halley. âMrs. Brooks Senior, pleaseâ
âGet lost!â Hailey snapped. She brushed off Larryâs hand and stepped forward to confront Marve with a cold smile.
âMarve, I know the Scott family is bankrupt, and youâre desperate for money now. But you and Sergio are already in the process of divorcing âLetâs settle this here and now. As long as Iâm breathing, youâll never set foot in the Brooks family again! And donât even think about getting a penny when it comes to marital âGrandmaâ Sergioâs temples bulged with veins as he was clearly enraged Larry quickly intervened, âMrs. Brooks Senior, please return before you further upset Mr. Brooks!â
Before Larry could act, Maeve interjected icily, âAlright, letâs get this straight. Have your precious grandson sign the divorce papers, and we can be done. Iâve sent over a dozen copies, but unfortunately, Mr. Brooks shredded every single one.
âI donât get why heâs dragging his feet. Well, maybe he enjoys the suffering. Even though Iâve made myself clear, he still refuses to divorce me.â
Maeveâs words stabbed at Hailey, who cherished the Brooks familyâs reputation.
Quickly, she retorted, âAre you suggesting Sergio doesnât want to divorce you? Thatâs ridiculous. The Scott family is bankrupt, and you remain so arrogant.
âWell, I heard youâve even taken up a trainee position at Hackett Group to pay off your debts. Pin! A scion from the prestigious Scott family stooping to such a lowly roleâitâs quite shocking!â
Haileyâs mocking remarks infuriated Sergio completely. He shouted, âLarryâ Are you just going to stand there? Get her out of here!â
Sergio showed no mercy in front of everyone. Cecilia beside him interjected, âSergio, Mrs. Brooks Senior did this for your sake.
You shouldnât-â
âYou have no say here! Sergio cut her off.
He didnât spare Cecilia esther. He immediately made a call and said coldly into the phone, âHave your people escort Grandma and Cecilia outâ
Within seconds, security guards approached and surrounded Hailey and Cecili The manager stepped forward and advised, âMrs. Brooks Senior, please donât make things difficultior us. Itâs best if you leave.â
Hailey frowned. âWhat? If I refuse to leave, are you going to use force?â
âWe wonât use force, but we might have to carry you out, and that wonât be dignified for anyone.â
âMrs. Brooks Senior Cecilia whispered as she tugged at Halleyâs sleeve.
Hailey took a deep breath upon sensing Sergioâs fury. With a snort, she turned to leave with Cecilia Watching the scene unfold, Maeve felt like the protagonist in a farcical drama.
âMavy, 1ââ
âItâs fine. You donât have to say anything more. I know this isnât what you intended. Mave turned to look at Sergio After abel silence, she added, âBut youâve fulfilled a dream of mine.â
Marve kept her head lowered as she spoke calmly, âonce dreamed that you were always distant and never there for my birthdays. But today. I still want to thank you
