Chapter 541 âMrs. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks Senior is pretty upset right now, so please try not to take anything she says personally,â Allie advised.
âI understand.â Maeve walked down the firstâfloor hallway to Haileyâs room and locked on the door.
âIâm not moving out! Donât even try to convince me!â Haileyâs voice was sharp.
âItâs me,â Maeve said calmly.
There was a brief pause before Maeve heard the door unlock. She opened it to find Hailey sitting on the bed, her expression tight with anger. âMrs. Brooks Senior, are you still mad at me? Maeve asked.
are the act, Maeve. Just because Sergio has a soft spot for you doesnât mean you can waltz into the Brooks family and do whatever you want. Men ar nedictable.
âHe was into Clara before, and now itâs you. Who knows whoâll catch his eye next? When Sergio stops defending you, where will that leave you?â Haileyâs tone was icy Maeve was unfazed. âYes, men are unpredictable. So, whoever Sergio likes in the future is none of my concern.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âMrs. Brooks Senior, you should know that if I donât reconcile with Sergio now, the Brooks family will face some serious consequences,â Maeve said. Hailey frowned.
Maeve continued with a smile, âI get it, Mrs. Brooks Senior. Youâve only ever dealt with money and havenât managed any of the Brooks Groupâs operations. You wouldnât know that the companyâs stock has taken a nosedive in recent monthsâ
âMaeve, stop with your theatrics! The Brooks family is far too big and influential to be brought down by just one person. Do you think Iâm clueless about that?â
âThings have changed. The scandal involving Sergio, Clara, and me has severely tarnished Brooks Groupâs reputation. Many of our business partners have cut ties with us because of it.
âSo, reconciling with Sergio is crucial in stabilizing Brooks Group. If you keep opposing me, we might as well go our separate ways. I have nothing to lose and wonât hesitate to drag you down with me.â sá´aÊá´h thá´ FɪndNová´l.ná´t website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Hailey stood up, enraged. âMaeve! How can you be so heartless? If it werenât for me, would you even be âMrs. Brooksâ right now? You claim to love Sergio, but now youâre trying to harm him! Are you even human?â
Maeveâs smile faded. âMrs. Brooks Senior, Iâm indeed heartless. If you keep provoking me, I guarantee the Brooks family wonât have a moment of peace. âIf we can coexist peacefully, Iâll divorce Sergio in six months. That way, you wonât have to deal with me anymore. How does that sound?â
Hailey frowned and asked skeptically, âWill Sergio agree to this?
âOf course.â
âFine. I wonât make thin make things difficult for you, but Iâm not moving outâ
Maeve nodded since there was no room for negotiation. âAlright, if thatâs how it is, I donât care if you stay or leave.â
Maeve turned to leave, but Hailey called out coldly, âMaeve! Even if you divorce Sergio, donât think youâll get any of the family inheritance!â
âDonât worry. I couldnât care less about the Brooks familyâs money,â Maeve retorted with a dismissive tone.
Hailey sneered, finding it hard to believe that Maeve wasnât interested in the family fortune.
Maeve walked out of Halleyâs room and said to Larry in the living room, âTake me to the Hoffman residence.â âBut Mrs. Brooks Senior...!!
âSheâs not moving out anymore. Just take m take me to the Hoffmans. Iâve got things to discuss with them.â
