Chapter 439 Maeve glanced at Cathy and said, âYouâve got skills, Iâll give you that. But choosing to betray your teammate?
âThatâs a moral line I canât cross. I donât need someone like that. And as for what Iâm capable of, well, some things are better left unknownâ
âI suggest you stay away from Mason. His mother isnât someone you want to mess with,â Cathy replied before leaving with her suitcase.
Masonâs mother. If Mason was indeed illegitimate, she must have been Timothy Jeffersonâs mistress from back then.
Maeve pondered for a moment, and a plan took shape in her mind.
At Brooks Manor, Cecilia was massaging Halleyâs shoulders. âMrs. Brooks Senior, Sergio hasnât been home for days. Shouldnât you call to check on him?â
âSergioâs becoming more rebellious,â Hailey replied as she gently moved Ceciliaâs hands away.
âHeâs completely fixated on Maeve now. You need to find a way to change that. If you can get Sergio into your bed, heâll have no choice but to acknowledge you as part of the family.
âBut, thatâs not something I can control. Sergio, he collabit her lip.
She was still in college, young, sweetâlooking, and with a likable personality. Unfortunately, Sergio had always treated her coldly like a stranger.
Hailey sneered, âMen are all the same. Find the right approach, and heâll notice you.â
âMrs. Brooks Senior, what should I do?â Cecilia asked nervously.
âIâll teach you the tricks. Get pregnant with Sergioâs child, and youâll secure your place in the Brooks family,â Hailey whispered conspiratorially.
Then, Halley whispered a few words into Ceciliaâs ear.
Cecilia blushed but nodded determinedly. âThank you, Mrs. Brooks Senior. Iâll find a way to get closer to Sergio, I promise.â
With that, Cecilla left Brooks Manor.
In the living room, Allie asked curiously, âMrs. Brooks Senior, do you really intend to allow Ms. Hoffman to marry into the Brooks family?
Hailey scoffed, âWith her background? Allowing her to marry into our family would be a joke.â
âSo what are your plans, Mrs. Brooks Senior?â
âHer intentions arenât pure, but sheâs obedient enough to pass. Sergio is fixated on Maeve right now.
âHaving Cecilia around will at least distract him. Once Sergio loses interest in Maeve and agrees to the divorce, he can marry anyone,â Hailey said indifferently.
âFind me some suitable women in the next few days. They donât need to come from prestigious families, but they must have an educated background that matches Sergioâs status.
âMrs. Brooks Senior, since Mr. Brooks has feelings for Mrs. Brooks, wouldnât it be better to â
âWhat do you know?â Hailey interrupted, frowning. âThe Scott family has already gone bankrupt! Now Maeve is working as a lowly actress at the Hackett Group âShe has repeatedly defied me and opposed the Brooks family. She has brought nothing but shame upon us. We cannot have a Mrs. Brooks like her!â
âYes, Mrs. Brooks Senior,â Allle said. As she prepared to leave, the doorbell rang, Hailey frowned. âOpen the door and see who it is.â
âYes,â Alle answered.
Upon opening the door, she was surprised to see Clara, who was dressed in designer clothes Without hesitation, Clara nished in and kneeled at Haleyâs feet.
âMrs. Brooks Senior!â she cried.
