Chapter 413 âAlright,â Sergio replied Meanwhile, Hailey stood up abruptly in Brooks Manor with a grim expression. âWhat? Youâre saying Sergio took Maeve to the amusement park?â
âYes, and thatâs not all. He rented out the entire place and invested a billion in Hackett Entertainment just to get her to agree,â
Cecilia said, looking dejected.
After Clara left, Cecilia seized the opportunity to return to Brooks Manor, hoping for another chance, But Sergioâs attention was solely on Maeve, with no intention of marrying her.
Cecilia had only learned about Sergioâs amusement park outing while delivering breakfast to him at Brooks Group âSuch a fool! What on earth is he thinking Hailey clenched her teeth in anger.
Since the Scott family had gone bankrupt, she had thought Sergio wouldnât be wasting ing time on Maeve. He sh âCall Larry right now,â Hailey ordered âTell him I want Sergio to come home immediatelyâ
âYes, Mrs. Brooks Senior!â Cecilia eagerly pulled out her phone.
He should have been filing for divorce instead.
On the other end, Larry hesitated before answering âMs. Hattman, does Mrs. Brooks Senjor need something?â
Cecilia replied, âShe wants Mr. Brooks to come home immediately.â
âIâm sorry, but the signal here is poor. Iâll call you back shortly, Larry said before abruptly hanging up.
Ceciliaâs face fell. She wasnâtnaïve. She knew Larry was avoiding her.
Seeing Ceciliaâs expression, Haileyâs frustration grew. âAfter losing his own m child, heâs now spending time with his soonâtoâbeâdivorced wife at an amusement park! What is he thinking?
Hailey grabbed her walking stick. âGet the driver. Iâm going to Brooks Group myself to put an end to this!â
âGot it, Mrs. Brooks Senior.â
Meanwhile, Sergio was filled with contentment as he watched Maeve enjoy the carousel He took out his phone and captured the moment, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
He couldnât help but wonder: if he had realized his feelings for Marve earlier, would everything have turned out differently?
Suddenly, Sergioâs phone rang. He answered, and Larry said from the other end, âMr. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks Senior just had Ms.
Hoffman call me. It seems like someone from the company has leaked the news.â
âI see.â Sergio glanced at Maeve, who was still on the carousel âHandle the rest of the day for me. Keep it under wraps. I donât want her birthday ruined.â âYes, Mr. Brooksâ
Sergio hung up as Maeve got off the carousel. âIf something is going on at the company, you should go back. You donât have to spend my birthday with me.â After all, Marve had long grown accustomed to Sergioâs busy schedule.
In a low voice, Sergio said, âToday, youâre my only priority.â [1 Marve fell silent at Sergioâs words. Maybe, in her previous life, this was what she had longed to hear. But now, his words no longer moved her.
Sergh asked, âWhat else do you want to do? Iâll agree to anything you say todayâ
Marve raised an eyebrow. âDonât make promises so lightly. What if I asked for all of Brooks Groupâs assets and the CTOs position? Would you give them to me?
