Chapter 94: Chapter 98

.

Chapter 98 Maeve finally received a call from Halley.

Hailey had asked Larry to pick Maeve up in his car, so Maeve got into the car without any resistance.

Maeve had just gotten into the car when Larry couldn’t help but say, “Madam, please be more agreeable later. Mr. Brooks won’t divorce you then.”

Closing her eyes, Maeve asked, “When did Mrs. Brooks Senior go to Brooks Manor?”

“In the afternoon.”

Maeve’s guess was spot on.

Hailey must have arrived in the afternoon and caused a ruckus until now, when things had calmed down. Then, Hailey finally called Maeve over to Brooks Manor.

Hailey had always insisted on having the final say in matters, and she would not tolerate any disobedience.

Maeve was fairly certain that Hailey had already driven Clara out by now.

The car pulled up in front of Brooks Manor. The front door of the house was wide open. Maeve walked into the house. Allie stood respectfully to the side, and Hailey was sitting on the couch.

The last person Maeve spotted was Sergio, who was kneeling on the floor. All traces of Clara were gone from the house.

Hailey said coldly, “Have you packed everything up?”

“Yes, Mrs. Brooks Senior.” Allie presented a suitcase, saying, “These are all Ms. Stewart’s belongings.”

Hailey asked, “Larry, how many of these things are brought with Sergio’s money?”

Larry stepped forward nervously, saying, “Mr. Brooks has always been funding Ms. Stewart’s expenditures, So...

Hailey sneered. “So you mean that my grandson has bought all these things for her, yes?”

Larry didn’t dare utter a word.

Hailey said to Allie, Throw them all away! Tell the chancellor that from today onward, our family will have nothing to do with the Stewart girl. Since she is already an adult, she won’t need our help anymore.

“Grandma!”

Sergio frowned, ‘Clara is just a young lady, and she came from a poor family. The tuition at Amenam University costs an arm and a leg, so how can she possibly earn that much money?“.

“She’s studying finance, isn’t she? If she can’t even do that, all the effort you have spent on funding her. will be in vain!”

Chapter 08 Hailey continued coldly, “Moreover, our family has invested a lot of money in her ever since you started supporting her. If she doesn’t have any value to show for it, we won’t keep helping someone who does nothing but mooch off us.”

With that, Hailey looked at Maeve. Her gaze softened a little. “Come here, Mavy. Sit next to me Maeve lowered her gaze as she took a seat next to Hailey.

Patting Maeve’s hand, Hailey said, “I’m aware that you were bullied this time, but divorce is a serious matter. Even for the sake of the relationship between our families, you shouldn’t talk about divorce so lightly.

“I hereby compensate and apologize to you on Sergio’s behalf. I promise you that things like this won’t happen again.“‘

Maeve glanced at Sergio out of the corner of her eye. Sergio didn’t look the least but sorry.

Maeve said slowly, “Grandma, we can’t force feelings into existence. Since Sergio likes Clara, divorce is probably the best choice for us.”

“Nonsense. How could the Brooks family possibly allow a poor student to get married into the family?” With that, Halley glared at Sergio. “Come here and apologize to Mavy right now!”

Sergio frowned deeply and remained silent.

Maeve sighed. “Grandma, please don’t make things hard for Sergio. He doesn’t want to apologize, so let’s forget about it.”

When Hailey heard that, she grew even angrier. She picked up the belt on the table straight away. Then, she brought it down upon Sergio’s body.
