Chapter 542 Upon hearing Maeveâs words, Larry hesitated briefly, Maeve reassured him, âDonât worry, Iâm just going to have a quick chat with them. It wonât cause any trouble for Sergio.â
Larry immediately lowered his head and replied, âYes, Mrs. Brookes.â
Soon, Larry drove Maeve to the Hoffman residence.
The Hoffmans were in high spirits, thrilled about their recent contract. When the housekeeper saw Maeve, she immediately notified the family, and their expressions turned serious.
Noah frowned. âWhatâs she doing here?! Sá´aÊ*á´h the Find_Nøvel.É´et website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âHoney, maybe we should just send her away. Sheâs Sergioâs wife, so she must be siding with the Brooks family!â
âYouâre right. Letâs send her off!â
Just as Noah finished his sentence, Cecilia suddenly spoke up, âDad, Mom, why donât we let Ms. Scott in?â
âAre you out of your mind? Sheâs definitely here to plead on behalf of the Brooks family!â
âThatâs not true. Maeve repeatedly reminded me to get this contract. Without her, we wouldnât have been able to negotiate with the Brooks family. She might be here to help us again.â
Listening to Cecilia, Noah nodded. âAlright, let her in. Iâm curious about what the Brooks familyâs daughterâinâlaw wants this time.â
With Noahâs approval, the housekeeper quickly ushered Maeve inside.
Seeing Maeve arrive alone, Noah assumed an air of superiority. âOur humble Hoffman family is honored by your visit, Mrs.
Brooks. But if youâre here to plead for Mrs. Brooks Senior, thereâs no need for further discussionâ
âMr. Hoffman, youâre jumping to conclusions without hearing me out, donât you think?â
Maeve smiled, and Mia stood up to approach Maeve. âMs. Scott, I wonder if you remember me. Weâve met before,â
Maeve smiled back, âMr. and Mrs. Hoffman, you two are wellâknown as a model couple. Weâve crossed paths a few times.â
Mia nodded and said, âCecilia told me that thanks to you, she was able to get the contract and not be bullied by the Brooks family. I should thank you.â âNo need to thank me. I did it for myself too.â
Maeve then took out a box from her bag. When she opened it, Mia saw a sapphire ring inside. Recognizing its value instantly, Miaâs eyes lit up. âThis... This is...â
âThis ring is said to be from a century ago, passed down from the royal family. Mrs. Brooks Senior asked me to give it to you.â
Maeve noted the Hoffmansâ reaction. Mentioning a royal heirloom from a century ago certainly piqued their interest.
Mia carefully examined the ring, saying, âThis looks like itâs worth a few hundred millions...â
Maeve said, âMrs. Brooks Senior intends to use this to settle the debt. So, Iâm here to discuss a business deal with you.â
Realizing Maeveâs purpose, everyone grew serious.
Noah asked sternly, âSo, Mrs. Brooks, are you here to speak on behalf of the Brooks family?â
