Chapter 532 Once Halley had signed the contract, Cecilia finally released her and shoved her onto the couch.
With the contract in hand, Cecilia backed away, brandishing a knife and snarling, âStay back! All of you, stay back!
Sergio, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and grab this crazy woman!â Hailey yelled. She was enraged that someone dared to threaten her like this.
Sergioâs hesitation only fueled Haileyâs fury. âSergio, do something now!â
âMrs. Brooks, you need to calm down. You owe her. If she reports you for aiding and abetting rape, the Brooks familyâs reputation will be ruined again,â Maeve warned.
Recently, the news of her reconciliation with Sergio had just started to improve the Brooks Groupâs situation. If she provoked Cecilia now, things were bound to take a turn for the worse.
Hailey was so enraged by Maeveâs words that she nearly collapsed. âShe threatened me with a knife, and youâre still defending her! Sergio, look at the kind of wife youâve married! Sheâs out to get me!â
Hearing Haileyâs accusations, Sergio could only approach to restrain Cecilia Cecilia, out of control, flailed wildly to protect herself.
Maeve rushed forward, yelling, âSergio, let go!â
But before she could finish, Ceciliaâs knife had already slashed Sergioâs arm.
Seeing her beloved grandson bleeding, Haileyâs face twisted in rage. âSergio...â
Cecilia froze after seeing Sergioâs bloodied arm. The knife clattered to the floor. âIt wasnât me... I didnât mean to...â Sá´aÊ*á´h the FɪndNová´l.ná´t website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âHow dare you hurt my grandson? Youâre going to pay for this!â Hailey shouted.
Maeve immediately checked Sergioâs wound. It was deep and bleeding profusely. Despite his pale face, Sergio looked at Maeve with a tenderness that seemed to ignore the pain.
âAre you out of your mind? Donât you know she had a knife?â Maeve scolded, then urgently called out, âAllie! Get the medical kit and call 911!â âYes, Mrs. Brookes!â Allie responded.
Amidst the chaos, while Halley was preoccupied with Sergioâs injury, Cecilia had already fled with the signed contract.
Maeve skillfully treated Sergioâs wound, but it was too serious to handle there. They needed to get to the hospital.
When she looked up, she saw Sergio watching her. Maeve frowned and asked, âWhat are you staring at?â
âIâm watching how you care for me,â Sergio murmured.
Maeve snapped, âIâm not caring for you. Iâm just trying to keep you from being an idiot!â
She reached for his jacket pocket while asking, âWhere are your car keys? Iâll drive you to the hospital.â
Sergio gently stopped her hand from rummaging through his pocket and pulled the keys from his pants pocket. âStop searching.
Theyâre right here,â he sad in a low voice.
