Chapter 463 “That’s a shame...” A look of sympathy flashed in Patricia’s e Seizing the moment, Maeve said, “I really admire your marriage with Mr. Johnson. You two seem so in love.”

“Yeah..” Patricia’s smile seemed a bit forced Marve raised an eyebrow and then feigned confusion “Mrs. Johnson, have you and Mr. Johnson been facing some troubles recently?

“Of course not. Our love is as strong as ever..” Putricia’s reply lacked conviction.

Maeve continued, “Well, men always take things for granted until they lose them. I’ve been through it myself”

“There’s no such thing as a faithful man. If Sergio hadn’t been keeping that woman, I wouldn’t have...

Maeve subtly steered the conversation toward marital issues, and sure enough, Patricia turned sorrowful.

“Now look at her. She’s become Ms. Bamoz overnight, and I still have to face them at events like this”

Maeve was referring to Clara Patricia had already heard about Marve and Clara’s situation. She felt uncomfortable when she saw Clara heavily pregnant, beside Hailey earlier. Frowning, Patricia said, “How could the Brooks family let a mistress join in so openly like that? He’s unwilling to divorce you but still blatantly brought someone home. It’s disgracefull Seeing that Patricia was siding with her, Marve added, “Mrs. Johnson, if it weren’t for inviting me wanting to see you afte to see you after such a long time, I wouldn’t have come despite the Brooks family Patricia patted Maeve’s band and said, “From now on, let’s meet privately. There’s no need for you to come to these business events.” “Alright,” Maeve agreed with a smile.

“Ms. Scott, Mrs. Brooks Senior would like a word with you.” A housekeeper came over to summon Maeve Patricia frowned and said, “Ms. Scott and I still have a lot to talk about. Tell Mrs. Brooks Senior that I’m borrowing Ms. Scott for a chat and will send her over shortly.”

The housekeeper dared not refuse Fatricia’s request and could only relay the message as instructed.

Maeve smiled and continued chatting with Patricia while keeping an eye on Hailey and Clara. She noticed Hailey’s displeasure upon hearing the housekeeper’s words while Clara softly comforted her.

Maeve hadn’t expected that Halley could still welcome Clara despite the previous fallout between her and Henry allow Clara to attend such an Knowing Halley, she must have forgiven Clara, who likely pleaded for forgiveness with her unborn child as leverage. Otherwise, Halley would never allow clara to event or bring her into the Brooks Estate Yet, at this moment, Henry and Conner were nowhere to be seen, which was unexpected.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have gathered you here today not only to introduce new products from our business friends, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, but also to announce the future daughter–in–law of the Brooks family,” Halley announced She took Clara’s hand. “Ms. Ramoz will be my future daughter–in–law and the next Mrs. Brooks!”

Clara blushed, radiating happiness Maeve frowned. Hailey’s decision seemed off. After the last major dispute with Henry, her acceptance of Clara’s presence was already a stretch.

How could she have publicly announced Clara as the new Mrs. Brooks?

“Ms. Scott, don’t be upset. This way, you can finally get your divorce,” Patricia consoled Maeve, who only managed a strained smile.

“Isn’t Mr. Brooks still married? How can they already decide on a new Mrs. Brooks?”

“She’s pregnant and the Ramor family’s heiress. Of course, they have to give her a title!”

“Didn’t you know? Ms. Hamo literally put her life on the line, leaving Mr. Barnoz with no choice but to swallow his pride and propose marriage to the Brooks family. “posuur has it he offered a wedding gilt that’s no less than a king’s ransom!
