Chapter 494 âNo matter what, Mr. Brooks, you owe me an explanation! Whatâs going on with you and my daughter? Nathalie is determined to marry you. She even lost a child for you. Is this how the Brooks family operates?
Henryâs Jurious outburst was met with a heavy silence.
Sergioâs eyes bore a cold, indifferent gleam as Henry stood dumbfounded. He felt a chill run down his spine as the one before him was none other than Sergio âSergio, you promised to be engaged with me. Why... Did Ms. Scott say something to you?â
Clara immediately turned to Maeve with her eyes brimming with tears. âMs. Scott, if Iâve made you upset in the past, please forgive me! I beg you not to take Sergio away from me. I canât bear to lose him.â
Cara lost her composure and collapsed into Henryâs arms, who could barely hold her.
But when faced with Sergio, he couldnât muster the courage to speak too harshly. âMr. Brooks, given my daughterâs condition, donât you think you owe us an explanation?â Everyone awaited Sergioâs response. But Sergio only held Maeveâs hand and said, âIâve never intended to divorce Maeve. As for todayâs engagement rumor with Ms. Ramoz, Iâm curious to know who started it too.â
Sergio glanced at Clara and Henry, who looked guilty and avoided his gaze.
He had indeed misled Clara and Henry. However, they went lightheaded by assuming they had gained favor with the Brooks family and immediately severed ties with Conner. They even spread the news of the engagement. Now the entire Seathburn City thought tonightâs banquet was about Sergioâs engagement to Clara.
But Henry forgot that Sergio never succumbed to such tactics. Hoping Sergio would marry Clara by going with the flow was pure fantasy.
âWhatâs going on? Mr. Brooks isnât getting engaged to Ms. Ramaz?â
âI told you, Ms. Ramoz is just a mistress. She couldnât even secure a place in the Brooks family when she was pregnant. Now that the child is gone, why would the Brooks family welcome her as a daughterâinâlaw?â
âIbet todayâs engagement rumor was probably started by the Ramoz family to pressure the marriage to take place. How ridiculous.â
The surrounding chatter pierced Claraâs ears, and several socialites who had just flattered her left to watch the drama unfold elsewhere. Only Dorothy, who stood beside Clara, hadnât had time to leave.
Clara seemed to recall something and immediately said, âSergio, did you know Marve slept with an old man during your separation? How can you remarry such a woman?â Claraâs words caused a stir in the crowd.
Maeve raised an eyebrow. âOh? Ms. Ramoz, where did you hear these rumors?â
Clara immediately grabbed Dorothyâs hand and pushed her forward.
Suddenly, Dorothy was thrust into the spotlight Dorothyâs face turned pale as Clara continued, âYou know her, right? Sheâs a trainee from the Hackett Group! Sheâs seen you being picked up by a bury car every night! âApparently, you even seduced the other trainerâs boyfriend! Last but not least, you entered the Hackett Group through connections. She can testify to all of this!â â..â Dorothy was at a loss for words.
âReally How come I donât know about all this?â Maeve looked at Dorothy with a smile. âMs, Reeves, is what she said true?
Instantly, all eyes focused on Dorothy
