Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 

“They’ve accused her of being an escort?” Sergio’s frown grew deeper as he continued, “Would she just stand there and let herself be slandered?” 

“Madam hasn’t said a word throughout, but Ms. Jansen seemed quite upset,” Larry paused before continuing, “One of our people there sald the cause was Ms. Stewart’s two classmates who accused Madam of seducing Ms. Stewart’s boyfriend.” 

Sergio compressed his lips in silence. He was contemplating Clara’s limited interactions at school. He had never heard of Clara having a boyfriend either. 

“Go and investigate this matter thoroughly, including at the school, “Sergio instructed. 

He usually didn’t intervene in Maeve’s affairs at Amenam University. Maeve had always kept a low profile, and there hadn’t been any rumors about her that reached Hailey during her time at school. But the accusation of being an escort didn’t seem baseless. Moreover, this matter was related to Clara, 

“Yes, Mr. Brooks.” Larry left promptly. 

Sergio pushed open the door to the ward and found Clara awake. She looked haggard as she met his gaze. “Sergio, I’m sorry… for causing you trouble.” 

“The doctor said you had low blood sugar. Get some rest.” 

Clara pressed her lips together and asked, “I overheard Larry mentioning an incident at the banquet. Is it?” 

“It’s nothing serious.” Sergio’s tone was distant. 

Clara didn’t say anything else. Lately, Sergio’s attitude towards her had been unpredictable, and Clara felt like she couldn’t hold onto his affection anymore. 

“Clara, I will let Larry send you home from the hospital tomorrow. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first.” Sergio said. Clara wanted to call out to Sergio, but Sergio had already walked out of the ward. 

Late night at the Hackett family’s banquet, many were starting to feel the effects of alcohol. 

Seeing that Charlie hadn’t come down from upstairs yet, Lyra asked Charlie beside her, “How much longer do you think Zion and Levi will be up there?” 

“What’s there to talk about? Everyone’s left,” Charlie replied. 

“They’re gone?” Lyra was aggravated. “Zion left without even letting us know?” 

“He did tell me!” Charlie looked innocent. 

“Why didn’t you tell me, then?” Lyra asked. 

“I thought you were enjoying yourself too much with your drinks, so I forgot…” 

Lyra tapped Charlie’s head. “Zion’s gone, but what about Maeve? He’s so dumb! It’s so late now and he doesn’t low to send her home first?” Charlie rubbed his sore head and said, “He did inform me! He asked me to take you two drunkards home!! 

“Can that be the same?” Lyra was about to speak again when Maeve chuckled beside her.
