Chapter 524 Maeve glanced at Zion and quickly pieced things together.
She spoke, âOkay, I got it. Iâll get in touch with him later.â
âAlright, Ms. Scott.â
Marve ended the call and turned to Zion, asking, âDid you go through my phone?â
âI didnât.â Zionâs expression seemed sincere, and Maeve remembered her phone had been with her the entire time. Still, something told her Zion was involved. âConfess now, and you might get a lighter sentence. Resist, and itâll be much worse.â
With Maeveâs ultimatum hanging in the air, Zion admitted, âCharlie and Lyra inserted a chip in your phone. Itâs been blocking all calls and messages from Sergio.â âAnd you didnât think to tell me?â
âforgotâ
Zion looked genuinely Innocent. Maeve sighed, tired it sounded like something Chure and Lyra would do. They were clearly determined to keep Sergio from bothering her after their last incident.
âFine. Iâll call Sergio back now.â
Marve pulled out her phone and, under Zionâs innocent gaze, dialed Sergioâs number and set it to the speaker.
The phone rang only once before Sergio answered. His voice was deep and inquisitive. âWhere are you?
âAt home.â
âIâll come pick you up.â
âDonâLâ Marve frowned. âL. Iâm not at the apartment.â
There was a pause, and then Sergioâs low voice came back. âAre you at Zionâs place?â sá´aÊá´h thá´ FɪndNová´l.ná´t website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Marve looked at Zion. No matter what, she couldnât let Sergio know she was at the Scott Estate.
âGrandma wants to meet you,â Sergio said.
âDoes she want to meet me, or just want to make things worse?â
Hailey had probably seen the news about Maeve and Sergioâs reconciliation at the banquet. If she wanted to meet Maeve now, it wasnât likely to be for a pleasant chat.
âDonât worry, Iâll be there to make sure she doesnât say anything too harsh.â
Sergioâs voice sounded tired. âItâs part of the agreement, so I hope youâll cooperateâ
âAlright, Ell cooperateâ
Maeve ended the call, and Zionâs expression tumed even more forlom. Maeve glanced around, puzzled, and said, âWhatâs with the bitterness?
