Chapter 158 “Sheldon barged into Clara’s room?”

Maeve found that absurd. What could Sheldon possibly gain by intruding into Clara’s room?

Lyra also asked, “What’s the situation now? What’s happening?”

“...” Larry hesitated to answer, but Maeve rushed in without hesitation.

“Sheldon! Sheldon!”

“Madam! Madam, you can’t just barge in like this!”

Larry tried to stop her, but Maeve had already entered the room. The sounds of a struggle could be heard.

As soon as Maeve entered, she saw Sergio landing a punch on Sheldon’s face.

“Stop!” Maeve hurried forward and stood in front of Sheldon:

Sergio’s expression changed upon seeing Maeve. “What’s this? Are you protecting him too?”

“Maeve, move aside! I’ll kill him!”

Sheldon tried to push Maeve away, but she immediately rebuked, “Shut up!”

“Sergio... Sergio, I’m scared...”

Clara, who was wrapped in a blanket, cowered in a corner. Sergio’s coat was draped over her, Maeve glanced at Clara coldly.

Tears streaked down Clara’s face, and she instinctively avoided Maeve’s gaze.

Maeve asked Sheldon softly, “What exactly happened?”

Sheldon said as he suppressed his anger, “I wanted to see what those two were up to, but the room door was slightly open when I arrived. I walked in, and there she was, taking off her clothes with her back to me!”

Upon hearing Sheldon’s accusation, Clara burst into tears. “Nonsense! Mr. Hackett, what did I do to offend you? Why are you slandering me like this?”

Then, Clara tugged at Sergio’s clothes. “Sergio, it was Mr. Hackett who barged in and tried to force himself on me! I screamed for help!”

“You’re talking rubbish!” Sheldon retorted. “I can have any kind of woman? Why would I choose you?”

Clara felt humiliated, and her face contorted with pain.

Sergio’s eyes narrowed. “What’s this? Mr. Hackett, are you too ashamed to admit it?”

“I didn’t do anything! This woman is slandering me!”

“Who would she slander you with something like this? Everyone in Seathburn City knows what kind of man Mr. Hackett is. You’re always indulging in pleasure. Now, you’re going after my people. Who put you up to this?” Sergio’s gaze shifted toward Maeve as he said this.

2/2 Maeve found his insinuation amusing. “Are you suggesting that Sheldon was acting on my orders? Sergio, you have quite the imagination.”

Sergio sneered. “You’ve always held a grudge against Clara. Today, when I asked someone to invite you over, you gave your clothes to Clara Instead. I found it suspicious. Now you’re even teaming up with Sheldon to do this kind of thing.”

Maeve’s voice turned cold. “Sergio, don’t make accusations without evidencel”

“If you guys aren’t in this together, how could you have rushed over so quickly?” Serglo retorted, “Even if Levi were here today, I would still teach Sheldon a lesson!”

“I’m not afraid of you!” Sheldon tried to assert himself again.

However, Maeve stopped him, saying, “The situation isn’t clear yet. Maybe we should call the police.”

the bed a Maeve glanced at Clara, who was on continued, “Let the police handle it. After all, police investigations rely on evidence. They will surely uncover the truth behind today’s events.”

Upon hearing this, Clara’s expression shifted slightly.
