Chapter 86 Clara stopped sobbing when she heard Sergioâs words. Instead, she raised her head and looked pitifully at Sergio. âThen, can I really stay in Brooks Manor to recuperate?â
Sergio caressed Claraâs head as he said, âIâll ask Larry to move your things out of your dorm. Itâs probably a hassle for you to stay at school while youâre recuperating, so you can move into my house.â
Sniffling, Clara leaned into Sergioâs embrace as she said in a small voice. âThank you, Mr. Brooks...â
Nearby, when Larry saw that scene, he couldnât help but frown.
The onlooker saw most of the game, after all. Everyone else could see at a glance that Clara was faking it, but Sergio didnât notice anything off.
That night, Maeve called a moving company over to move out everything that belonged to her in Brooks Manor.
In the evening, when Sergio helped the injured Clara walk into Brooks Manor, he noticed that many of the decorations in the house were gone. The house looked a little deserted as well.
When Sergio saw that, he felt a little upset.
Clara asked, âMr. Brooks, where will I be staying?â
âThereâs a guest room upstairs.
Clara nodded. Then, she said in a troubled voice, âMâMy leg hurts. I canât get up there on my own.â
âIâll help you.â
Sergioâs voice was gentle Clara felt like her heart was steeped in honey.
The accident was quite serious, and Clara had unexpectedly injured her face. Still, she felt that it was worth it when she saw how considerate Sergio was toward her, and he would even go against Maeve for her sake.
When they arrived on the second floor, Clara spotted the master bedroom right away. She asked, âIs this the master bedroom?â
Maeve usually stayed here. Sergio nodded. Clara said, âCan I stay in a room closer to yours, Mr. Brooks? Iâm worried that it might be hard for me to go downstairs when I want to at night.â
âSure.â
As long as Claraâs requests werenât too outrageous, Sergio would never decline them.
Clara took one last look at the master bedroom. A greedy look flashed across her eyes.
Someday, she would move into that room and become the real lady of the Brooks family.
Chapter 86 The next day, Jansen Groupâs housing project was open for sale. In the end, news of Sergio disrupting the dinner event had already spread like wildfire in the social circle.
Maeve was leisurely scrolling through the news on her phone, but Lyra was about to explode in anger.
Damn it, donât you feel mad seeing such infuriating things this early in the morning?â â
âNow that things are blown out of proportion, I stopped feeling mad.â
âWhy?â
Lyra looked at Maeve in confusion.
Maeve replied, âSergio caused a scene at the event without regard for all the other guests, so of course, news of it would spread quickly. Mrs. Brooks Senior will probably hear about it soon.â
Lyra was puzzled, âSo?â
âI went to the hospital last night and said on purpose that Iâm moving out, and Iâll let Clara recuperate in Brooks Manor. Clara will definitely grab the chance to move into Brooks Manor, and I bet she has already spent a night in Brooks Manor by now.
âDo you think Mrs. Brooks Senior would allow her grandson to behave like that?â
Lyra immediately realized what was going on. âI see!â
Maeve said, âAlso, Sergio was acting recklessly for Claraâs sake. In Mrs. Brooks Seniorâs eyes, Clara is a burden thatâs dragging her grandson down. She will not allow Clara to stay by Sergioâs side.â
