“Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll handle the company’s issues,” Sergio said in a low voice. The more serious he sounded, the more Hailey realized the gravity of the situation.
Fuming, Hailey trembled. “The Brooks Group was founded by your grandfather. If it collapses watch, how will I ever face him in the afterlife? How could you be so reckless?”

Sergio glanced at Maeve, who sat quietly sipping her tea. “Grandma, the company isn’t going to collapse.
We’re just losing some money. It’s not as bad as you think.”
Maeve couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly at his words.
The Brooks Group had never faced such significant losses throughout these years. Sergio’s nonchalant attitude was just a facade, hiding their dependence on the family’s deep pockets.
Hailey, somewhat reassured by Sergio’s words, regained her composure.
When she looked at Maeve again, her tone was calm. “Mavy, since you know the Brooks Group is struggling, you need to support Sergio. That’s your duty as a wife. Do you understand?”
Maeve lowered her gaze, saying, “Mrs. Brooks Senior, I’ve been returning to the Scott family recently to find ways to help Sergio. Don’t worry, even if I’m not home, my heart is always with Sergio.”
Hailey nodded approvingly. “Good, I knew I could count on you.”
Maeve remained silent.
Hailey continued, “Seeing how united you two are, I’ve decided to stay here from now on to help manage
the household. Plus, I’d love to have a grandchild soon, Sergio, what do you think?”
Sergio frowned, “Grandma-”
Before he could finish, Hailey turned to Maeve and asked meaningfully, “Mavy, what do you think?”
“Of course, Mrs. Brooks Senior. You’re welcome to stay. But Sergio and I wouldn’t be at home, so we
might not be able to take care of you.”
Halley replied, “That’s not a problem. There are housekeepers. Your home is too empty with just Allie around. This time, I’ve brought a skilled housekeeper to take care of things,
“You two focus on your work, and I’ll make sure dinner is ready for you both every day.”
Maeve understood Hailey’s intent. She wanted to create a sense of “crisis” by emphasizing the presence
of another woman in the house because Maeve was often not around.
Halley truly understood a woman’s mind. If it were her previous self, Maeve might have been worried, but
now she couldn’t care less if Sergio was involved with another woman.
Maeve smiled. “If you’ve
thought it through, Mrs. Brooks Senior, you’re welcome to stay.”
Sergio was surprised by her immediate agreement and frowned.

Hailey was pleased with Maeve’s response. “Alright then. I’ll have Allie bring my things over right away. I’ll be happy just to keep you both comfortable.”
