Chapter 478 âyou.. The only reason I agreed to your marriage with her is because sheâs carrying the Brooks family child! Do you think Iâd accept someone like her into our family otherwise?â Haileyâs tone turned icy as she spoke.
âSergio, as the head of the Brooks family, how could you make such a foolish mistake? You need to hold a press conference immediately! That woman must never become a part of the Brooks family!
âGrandma, youâve always wanted me to divorce Marve, and Iâm willing to do that now. You wanted me to marry Clara, and I agreed. What more do you want from me?â
âAt least Maeve didnât harm my greatâgrandchild! But Clara, that woman is capable of harming her own child! Not sending her to prison is already showing mercy, let alone baling her out!
âSergio, how can you be so blind? Iâve raised you all these years. Why wonât you listen to me?â
Hailey was heartbroken, but Sergio remained calm and watched her without a word.
Alle stepped forward and said, âMr. Brooks, you know Ms. Stewartâs true character. Now sheâs even harmed her own child... How could you..
Sergio replied indifferently, âIâve made my decision. Iâll take responsibility for Clara. I will make her Mrs. Brooks, be engaged to her, and take care of her for the rest of my lifeâ
Hailey was so furious that she nearly fainted. She collapsed backward just as Alle darted forward to support her.
You ungrateful child! After everything weâve done for you, this is how you repay us?â Halley cursed, but Sergio ignored her and went upstairs.
Meanwhile, Connerâs face fell when he saw the news on TV. The next second, he kicked over a table and gritted his teeth.
âWhatâs going on?â
Bailey, who stood beside him, quickly lowered his head. âMr. Jefferson, we weâre not sure about this â
âLast night, I told you to keep watch outside the hospital ward What were you doing? Didnât you hear their conversation?â
Sergio had loved Maeve deeply. How could he have possibly wanted to divorce her for Clara and even marry Clara? Something was definitelyoffi âGo investigate now! Find out if this is true,â Conner demanded.
Connerâs eyes blazed with fury.
He had gone to great lengths to come to Seathburn City, marry Clara to take over the Ramoz family, and bring the Jefferson family business there, only for Sergio to ruin everything Why would Sergio be willing to marry Clara? Sergio wasnât willing to be with Clara even when she was pregnant. Yet now, he suddenly changed his mind.
Could it have been for Maeveâs sake?
How could the rumored overlord of Seathburn City have been willing to sacrificehis own marriage and give up on the one he loved? Was he mad?
Connerâs phone interrupted his thoughts. The screen showed an unfamiliar number.
Conner answered, and Sergioâs low voice came through the line. âMr. Jefferson, youâre more than welcome to challenge my position.â
âSergio?â
âRemember, Seathburn City is my territory. You have no right to touch it. With that, Sergio hung up.
Conner seethed with cage and hurled his phone to the ground. With a grim expression, he muttered, âSergio.. how could you do this? How dare you!â
âMr. Jefferson..
Conner grabbed Bailey by the collar and shouted, âContact Clara! Tell her to come meet me immediately!â
âMâMr. Jefferson, Ms. Stewartâs phone has been unreachable since this morningâ
âUnreachable Conner laughed. âFinel Then letâs tell Mr. Ramoz that Clara is not the real Nathalie!â
