Chapter 443 Maeve replied, âMaybe. But Mr. Ramoz, you should be aware of what the Brooks family is like. My grandmotherâinâlaw isnât easy to handle. If your daughter marries into Brooks family, she might suffer in the future.
âOh, and by the way, Mrs. Brooks Senior seems to suspect that clara might not be your daughter. Sheâll probably arrange a meeting soon to interrogate you thoroughly.
*Even though sheâs aging now, sheâs still very particular about ber granddaughterâinâlawâs status, so I hope you can excuse her for that.â
With that, Maeve stood up and told the waiter, âThereâs no need to serve the food. Pack everything for Mr. Ramoz to take home. I donât think he wants to dine with me Without waiting for the waiterâs response, Maeve turned and left.
Henry, visibly upset with the Brooks family, slammed his fist on the table.
Meanwhile, Maeve remained unfazed. Whether Clara was Henryâs daughter or not, Henry seemed convinced she was. There was no way he would have swallowed his pride after being humiliated by Halley, Halley was proud and arrogant. When she invited Henry to dinner tomorrow, things were bound to get interesting Once outside the Royal Bistro, Marve took out her phone and called Lyra âWhat? Youâre treating us to dinner?â Lyra sounded puzzled.
âYeah. Tomorrow night at the Royal Bistro. Iâm inviting you all for dinner and a show,â Maeve replied.
âI get dinner, but is there an event at the Royal Bistro tomorrow? Whoâs performing Lyra asked, sounding even more confused.
Charlie grabbed Lyraâs phone and said to Marve, âMs. Scott, count us in for suce!â
Maeve nodded and then had Zayla book a private room.
The next day, Maeve didnât show up at the Hackett Group at By 6:00 pm, everyone had gathered at the Royal Bistro.
âMs. Scott, this is the first time youâre treating us. Whatâs going on? Whatâs the big show?â Charlie asked excitedly as the waiters began serving dishes.
âKeep it down. These private rooms arenât exactly soundproof,â Maeve cautioned.
âReally?â Charlie looked perplexed Across from them, Zion deftly prepared fish for Marve, looking every bit like her loyal companion.
âMr. Ramoz, this way, please. Mrs. Brooks Senior has been waiting for you,â Allie politely invited Henry in. But unexpectedly, Henry had brought Conner along.
Upon seeing Sergioâs rival, Halleyâs expression darkened.
Henry, however, remained unfazed. âConner is like a son to me. When I heard that Mrs. Brooks Senior graciously invited us to dinner, I thought it would be a good opportunity for him to broaden his horizons. I hope thatâs alright.â
âIf I objected, would he leave? Hailey replied coldly.
She hadnât planned to put up a friendly facade. After all, the Brooks family was the leading enterprise in Seachbum. While the Ramoz family was esteemed as well, they couldnât match the Brooksâ wealth and influence.
In Haileyâs view, inviting Henry was already a mark of respect toward the Ramoz family. Yet Henry, unappreciative as ever, had even brought Conner along.
