Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 

Sergio’s face stiffened. 

Maeve remarked, “You wouldn’t have called me back just to apologize, would you?” 

Sergio remained silent. 

“Is it really just to apologize to me?” 

“Maeve, you…” Sergio’s expression darkened. 

He was a prideful person who never gave in to anyone. Admitting he had wronged Maeve was already at big deal for him. 

Sergio feigned calmness as he said, “I was wrong in this matter. I misjudged you. But Clara’s actions weren’t that severe. It was just a girl feeling ashamed and desperate, leading her to falsely accuse 

Sheldon-” 

But before Sergio could finish his words, Maeve chuckled lightly. “So that’s it.” 

Sergio pursed his lips. 

“I was wondering why you would apologize to me out of the blue. Turns out, it’s still about Clara.” 

“…” 

“Are you trying to make me beg the Hackett family to forgive Clara?” 

Sergio didn’t respond, but it was evident that Maeve had misinterpreted his intentions. 

“If that’s the case, I can’t help you. I’m not influential enough to make Mr. Hackett change his mind.” 

“That’s not what I meant. 

“Then what did you mean? Or are you suggesting I directly plead with Sheldon?” 

“I didn’t mean for you to plead on her behalf.” 

Sergio wanted to explain himself, but seeing Maeve’s indifferent expression, he stopped speaking. What was there to explain? Maeve wouldn’t believe him no matter what he said. 

“Since we have nothing more to discuss, may I leave now?” Maeve asked. 

“Where are you going?” Sergio’s heart started to race again. “Back to the Hackett Manor?” 

“My injuries have healed, so I’ll be returning to my apartment. The school will soon assign internship tasks 

to me, and I don’t have the time to shuttle back and forth between different homes,” Maeve replied, 

turning to leave. 

But Sergio suddenly asked, “What’s your relationship with Mirage Group?” 

Maeve turned back and asked, “Sergio, are you grasping at straws? What relationship could I possibly have with Mirage Group? 

“I simply made a bad deal in the past and sold a piece of land to them. Do you really think I’m the mastermind behind Mirage Group?”
