Maeve pushed herself up from the sofa, her eyes with disdain. âIâve told you what you wanted to know Can I leave now?â

âStop!â Sergio grabbed Maeveâs wrist. âWhere do you think youâre going? Are you going to see Zion?â
âLet go!â Maeve shook off Sergioâs hand. âWhere I go has nothing to do with you!â
âBut youâre my wife!â Sergio stepped toward Maeve, pulling at the tie on his shirt. âDidnât you use to like me lot and want to be with me? Iâll fulfill your wishes now. You wonât think about seeing Zion again
Maeve was stunned. âSergio! Have you lost your mind?
âI have! I must have lost my mind to let you go out for so long!â
Sergio gripped Maeveâs wrist tightly and pinned her down on the sofa. His eyes were filled with possessiveness. âYouâre not going anywhere tonight.â
âSergio! Let go!â Maeveâs struggles only fueled Sergioâs fire.
âLet go? Werenât you eager for this before?â
Sergio pulled apart Maeveâs dress, revealing a patch of fair skin on her shoulder. The snowâwhite scar on her chest only stimulated Sergio even more.
A fire was already raging in Sergioâs belly. He pinched Maeveâs chin and leaned down. The next moment, a crisp slap pierced the air.
âDonât touch me!â Maeveâs eyes didnât hide her disgust at all.
This slap woke Sergio up. Even though Maeve had disliked him before, he had never seen such disgust in her eyes. It was like he was nothing but a piece of dirty trash to her. This feeling stunned him for a while.
Sergio spoke calmly, but hoarsely. âAre you rejecting me because of Zion?â
Maeve found this amusing. âSergio, donât make me look down on you.â Pushing him off, Maeve gave
Sergio a cold glance and went upstairs.
It seemed like he had exhausted all his energy. Sergio leaned back against the sofa, looking more tired than ever before.
He dialed Larryâs number and said wearily, âInvestigate everything about Zachary and give it to me by tomorrow.â
âMr. Brooks, Iâve already instructed someone to investigate Zacharyâs personal information, but⦠this personâs identity is a mystery, and our network hasnât found any information about him.â
âThen contact Mirage Group. I want to meet him.â
âYes, Mr. Brooks.â
After hanging up the phone, Sergio rubbed his temples. He couldnât focus on work at all recently. Did

Maeve really despise him so much? Even a slight touch from him made her feel disgusted.

Maeve received a message from Zion early the following day. The chairman of Brooks Group wanted to meet the CEO of Mirage Group. Well, it was impossible actually to meet.
Maeve replied to Zion,/âDecline.â
