Chapter 124 Sergio rubbed his temples as he felt the weight of Maeve being slandered and bullied. He was surprised that Maeve hadnât brought up such an important matter to him. Did she really consider him that insignificant?
âNow that the director has looked into it, thereâs no need for further investigation,â Sergio said calmly. âJust tell Clara to distance herself from those students. I donât want them influencing her.â
Larry hesitated briefly but nodded after seeing Sergioâs expression. âUnderstood, Mr. Brooks.â
Mave escorted Lyra to Buildin 2 Lyra hadnât expected Sergio to overhear them and make things worse. âHeâs defending Clara so openly in front of you. Itâs infuriating!â
While angered, Lyra was more worried about Maeveâs situation. âYou just argued with Sergio, Whatâs your plan now?â After all, Maeve was Sergioâs wife, and it could make life in the Brooks family difficult for her if they were on bad terms.
Lyra was filled with regret. Yet Maeve replied, âI used to avoid conflicts with Sergio, but I canât always be passive for the rest of my life. Iâm not willing to back down every time I see him now.â Her path forward was clear; offending Sergio was no longer a concern âLyra? What brings you here?â Charlie asked. He wore a pair of goldârimmed glasses and held a stack of books, resembling a scholar.
Lyra looked at Charlie and couldnât help but make a face at his appearance. âI came to send Maeve to school. And you... are you playing dress- up?â
âYou have no taste! This is a refined and elegant style!â
âElegant? Whatâs elegant about it?â
Charlie refused to converse with Lyra, and Marve took advantage of their banter to put on her scarf, worried that Charlie might inform Zion upon seeing her injuries. But why... was she suddenly so afraid of Zion finding out?
âMs. Scott, donât leave after school today. Zion said heâd come to pick you up why?â Maeveâs face tensed.
Charlie was puzzled. âWhy? Arenât you going to the grand opening today? Youâre the bossâ
Maeve suddenly remembered. The grand opening!
Recently, she had been so preoccupied with the situation between Sergio and Clara that she had forgotten about the companyâs grand opening today, âCongratulations, Mavy! This is exactly lucky at cards, unlucky in love. Iâll be the largest shareholder in your company!â Lyra patted Maeveâs shoulder.
Charlie muttered, âYou wonât be the largest shareholder.â
Lyra was puzzled and asked, âWhat did you say?â
âNothing,â Charlie replied and pretended to whistle casually.
Maeve forced a smile and shook her head. âBut, I might not be able to make it today.â
âWhy?â
