Chapter 415 “Happy birthday, Maeve,” Sergio said.

“Thank..” Marve’s words trailed off as Hailey’s voice echoed from outside the mall. “What a spectacle to rent out the entire mall!”

As Haley strode in, the surrounding bodyguards cleared a path and encircled the area swillly.

Meanwhile, curious bystanders gathered around to catch a glimpse of the unfolding drama.

Marve’s fleeting smile vanished at the sight of Hailey.

Haley fixed her cold gaze on Marse “Ms. Scott, weren’t you just threatening to divorce Sergio? It’s iconic. Now you’ve talked him into throwing you a lavish birthday bash instead!

“Is it because the Scotts are bankrupt now, and you’re thinking of crawling back to us? Dream on!”

“Grandma “Sergio’s face darkened instantly As Larry hurried in, his expression turned grave as he took in the scene. No one had expected Hailey to access Sergio’s bank records and find this mall directly.

“Mrs. Brooks Senior, this is a public place. Ferhaps we should discuss this elsewhere.” Larry attempted to intervene, but Hailey shot him a cold glance.

“I see you’re quite the loyal lapdog to Sergio. You’re always on his side no matter what,” Hailey retorted “L” Larry Jaltered, feeling ashamed, and stepped aside.

Sergio stepped forward and said, “Grandma, this was my own decision. I insisted on celebrating Maeve’s birthday. She had nothing to do with it”

“She had nothing to do with it? Have you lost your mind? You’re spending so much money to please a woman who publicly shamed our family!

“Have you forgotten how she humiliated us in front of the media? She made us a laughingstock!” Halley’s voice dripped with scorn.

“Now that the Scotts are bankrupt, she’s back to seduce you so she can rise from the ashes using your name and wealth. Can’t you see through her? How could the Brooks family produce such a fool?

Sergio frowned, “Grandma, whether Maeve is using me or not, whether she loves me or not, it doesn’t matter. I want her in my life. She’ll be the one and only Mrs. Brooks to me” “Sergio! Are you blind to her intentions?” Cecilia stepped forward and pointed accusingly at Maeve. “It’s obvious she’s after your money. How can you be with someone like her?” “I don’t need you to tell me who I should be with “Sergio’s gaze turned cold.

Cecilia instinctively stepped back at his glare. However, the onlookers‘ gazes toward Marve turned increasingly curious and judgmental.

Maeve calmly placed the flowers atop a nearby gift box. “Mr. Brooks, thank you for arranging this birthday surprise. Please have Larry provide me with the details later. I’ll take care of the expenses.”

“Mavy...

“Hmph! You better be paying.” Hailey said sharply. “Since you initiated the divorce, there should be no further contact. And you’d better stay away from Sergio, let alone expect him to spend a penny on you!”
