Chapter 501 Marve ended the call.
Approaching her, Mason asked, âWhatâs wrong?
âYou and Bryce stay and meet some senior figures in the entertainment industry here. I have another matter to attend to, and I need to go now,â she explained.
âBut can you just leave this event?â
Glancing over at Sergio, who was deep in conversation with Bryce, Maeve replied, âIâll slip away quietly.â
with that, she downed a glass of red wine, handed the empty glass to Mason, and deftly lifted her gown to slip away unnoticed.
Mason wanted to call out to her, but she was too swilt In a blink, she vanished and reached the entrance of Brooks Estate.
15 minutes later, a sports car sped toward her Maeve arrived at the estateâs gates, where Lyra stepped out of the car hastily.
âWhatâs going on? Whatâs with the sudden reconciliation?â Lyra questioned.
âYeah, Maeve, did Sergio threaten you? Donât worry, he wouldnât dare touch you with Zion around,â Charlie chimed in. Maeve responded, âHe didnât threaten me. We made a deal.
âWhat kind of deal?
âThad an agreement with Sergio. Weâve already signed the dhorce papers, and now weâre pretending to be a loving couple to repair the Brooks familyâs image.â Upon hearing this, Lyra exclaimed angrily, âSergio is quite something! Heâs playing his cards right, knowing the divorce is final and using you for his benefitâ Charlie frowned. âMaeve, have you thought about how youâll explain this to Zion?â
Charbe and Lyra had observed the bond between Maeve and Zion, and it was clear they were a couple. However, now that Maeve agreed to publicly show affection for Sergio, Zion would dismantle the Brooks family if he were to find out âThavenât figured out how to tell him, but itâs my only chance to get a divorce.â
Maeve knew Zion had discussed divorce with Sergio before, but Sergio would never back down. Both of them were powerful figures who wouldnât yield. She had to handle it her way.
âHey! Whatâs going on?â
In the distance, guests were fleeing from Brooks Estate Maeve and the others turned their attention to the commation, noticing guests streaming out of the estate, and the once wellâlit estate had suddenly gone dark, Chaos erupted at Brooks Estate Spotting Zaylanishing out, Maeve hurried over and grabbed her arm, demanding, âWhatâs going on?
âMs. Scott, youâre here, Zayla parted.
âWhat happened?â
The estate was intact when Maeve left. She wondered how things had gone awry so quickly, âSomebody entered through the back door. It looks like a robbery!â
âA robbery?
With Brooks Estateâs stateâofâtheâart security, a robbery seemed impossible.
Maeve tried to approach to take a look but was restrained by Zayla. âMs. Scott, itâs dangerous! You canât go there!
âWhere are Bryce and Mason? Are they out yet?â Maeve asked âTheyâre safe, probably lost in the crowd. But Mr. Brooks and the others are still inside..â
Maeve stared at the entrance where guests had fled in droves. She moved to go in when Lyra pulled her back.
âMary, stop! With so many security guards at Brooks Estate, nothing could possibly happen.â
