Chapter 480 Seeing Commer upset, Bailey quickly complied. âYes, Mr. Jefferson.â
Meanwhile, Charlie had ordered a spread of takeout at Maeveâs apartment. He sat with Maeve and Lyra at the table in silence.
Lyra couldnât help but glance at Maeve, who was quietly eating and scrolling through the dayâs financial news. She was seemingly unconcerned about Sergio and Claraâs situation.
âWhereâs Zee? When is he coming back?â Lyra asked.
âHe should have been back by now.â
Charlie was puzzled as well. âI told Zion about Marveâs situation ages ago. He should be rushing back. But who knows what on earth heâs doing right now? This is serious. Let me call him again.â
Charlie pulled out his phone and dialed Zionâs number, but the call couldnât go through.
*Damn it, where is he?â
Meanwhile, Sergio got into his car after having dinner at Ramos Manor.
Larry said, âZion has already reserved a place.â
âLetâs go then,â Sergio replied.

ign this divorce It was yours until yesterday. But from now on, itâs mine, Zion said coldly. âLetâs not beat around the bush. Since youâve made your choice, you should sign #greement today.â
Zion pushed the divorce agreement toward Sergio. Maeve had already signed them.
Seeing her signature, Sergio instinctively looked away. âWhat if I refuse to sign?â he asked.
*1 have my own ways, Mr. Brooks. If you refuse to sign, Iâm afraid Iâll have to resort to violence.â Zionâs tone carried no threat, yet his smile held a hint of poison, enough to send shivers down oneâs spine at its sight.
