Chapter 471 The Brooks family had always demanded the family head to prioritize the interests of Brooks Group Now that the Scott family is bankrupt, Maeve has lost her status as Mrs. Brooks. It was time for the family to seek a more suitable replacement.
But despite Maeveâs public request for a divorce months ago, Sergio had yet to agree. The upper echelons of the Brooks Group were fed up with his stubbornness, but their hands were tied.
As Sergio watched Maeveâs retreating figure, his expression turned solemn Larry approached him and said, âMr. Brooks, Mr. Carter is still waiting upstairs. Should we âI need a thorough explanation of todayâs events,â Sergio demanded once he had regained his composure.
The decision to publicly announce Clara as the future Mrs. Brooks had blindsided him. Tonightâs banquet had clearly been orchestrated to target Maeve With his head bowed, Larry said, âMr. Brooks, I was unaware of these developmentsâ
âDid you miss it, or did you choose to ignore it?â Sergioâs gaze sharpened on Larry.
Larry had been a reliable associate for years, never failing to stay informed about the Brooks family affairs. Yet, this time, Haileyâs actions had caught him off guard.
She sent out Invitations, and half the business community showed up, unbeknownst to Larry. It just didnât add up After a moment of hesitation, Larry confessed, âMr. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks Senior mobilized the senior executives of Brooks Group to pressure you.
âWhile you may overlook it, the board members are increasingly dissatisfied Mrs. Brooksâs influence directly impacts your standing, and I-
âSo you kept this from me and sent out those Invitations at Halleyâs behest?â Sergla interrupted sharply.
Since taking over the Brooks family business, Sergio rarely encountered interference from Hailey.
But this time, she had invited most of their business partners under his name to publicly declare Clara as the future Mrs. Brooks, The banquet had been a deliberate move to humiliate Maeve. Hailey wanted to embarrass Mare, so she organized such a grand banquet at Brooks Estate Sergio rubbed his temples in frustration. âIâve been too lenient lately. Theyâre forgetting who truly leads the Brooks familyâ
âMr. Brooks! I know I was wrong, but I just wanted you to move on sooner. Mrs. Brooks has long beenââ
Shut up!â Sergio cut him off with a cold stare.
âIf it werenât for your years of service, youâd be dismissed now.â
Larry kept his head down. Sergio continued sternly, âThose around me are here to serve me. If this happens again, youâre out of Brooks Group.â
âMr. Brooks, I assure you it wonât happen again!â
Sergio tossed his phone to Larry. âPost the video online. I want everyone to know that Maeve was the victim tonightâ
Larry was taken aback. âBut if we do that, our relationship with the Ramoz Family..â
âAnyone who messes with my partier should expect the consequences.â
