Chapter 469 “Got it, Mr. Brooks.”

Allie stepped forward to support Haley, who was still reeling from the night’s events and could barely walk straight.

Sergio gave Larry a look, and Larry immediately approached Isaac and Patricia. “Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, I apologize for the scare. I’ll arrange for someone to take you home shortly.”

Then, Larry addressed the crowd. “Tonight’s banquet is over. I apologize for any inconvenience. We’ll send each of you a gift later. I hope you understand.”

With Larry handling the aftermath, Sergio felt reassured. He glanced at Richard, “Come upstairs with me.”

“Yes, Mr. Brooks.”

Sergio turned to Conner and Henry with chilling indifference. “Gentlemen, you may leave.”

The message was clear, and Henry felt a wave of embarrassment. While he might have challenged Halley, he wouldn’t dare act out in front of Sergio.

Seeing this, Conner helped Henry up to leave:

“Mr. Jefferson.” Maeve’s voice suddenly cut through the tension.

Conner paused, and Maeve added meaningfully, “Take care”

Conner shot Maeve a cold look. Henry sensed something odd between them but couldn’t pinpoint what it was, so he let Conner lead him out of Brooks Estate Once everyone had left, Sergio approached Maeve and asked hesitatingly, “Were you hurt?”

Maeve responded coolly, “I’m fine. You should be more concerned about your child, Mr. Brooks.”

Sergio frowned. “Inever said I’d marry her.”

The tension between them was thick.

Richard, who stood nearby, felt awkward and interjected, “Um.. why don’t you two talk, and 1‘ head upstairs?

Sergio shot him a cold glance, and Richard quickly added, “I’m going! I’ll go now!”

Once Richard was gone, Marve said, “Why did you have to intimidate him like that? I knew about tonight’s event beforehand, but I didn’t expect Clara to use her own child to frame me.”

When Maeve received the invitation, she sensed something was amiss. Even so, her suspicions were confirmed when she learned Conner would attend.

To be safe, she contacted Ale to have surveillance cameras installed at the Brooks Estate and brought a recorder with her, which ended up being useful.

Clara’s tactics were still so low and petty. However, it was such a pity for the unborn child.

Maeve said Eightly, “That’s your child, after all Clara is in the hospital. If you want to see her, you should.

As Maeve turned to leave, Sergio grabbed her wrist. “Do you want me to see Chira?”

“She’s your woman, and she just lost your child. Shouldn’t you go and check on her?

Maeve looked at Sergio coldly and asked a question she had long wanted to ask, “Even if you don’t love her, you have a responsibility to her.

sergio, would you just stand there and watch the woman carrying your child die on the operating table.. even if you don’t love her?”

Sergio was caught off guard by the question and didn’t know how to respond.

Mare chockled lightly. “Never mind.”
