Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 

Hailey walked in, her eyes filled with stemness and disappointment. 

She raised her hand and slapped Sergio across the face. “How dare you put the Brooks family in danger over a woman? Are you even fit to be in charge of the Brooks family anymore? Is this what your grandfather taught you? You useless thing!” 

Sergio clenched his fists, but he didn’t dare to say a word. 

Hailey tumed and glanced at Maeve, her eyes full of disdain. 

“We’ve caused trouble to the Scott family this time. Sergio won’t lose control like this again. We’ll pay the Scott family accordingly as compensation 

“However, since you’ve initiated the divorce, the Brooks family won’t give you a penny.” 

Sergio exclaimed, “Grandma!” 

Maeve had expected Hailey’s response. 

She simply smiled and remarked, “It looks like there’s been a misunderstanding, Mrs. Brooks Senior. In the divorce agreement I offered to Sergio, there wasn’t a single mention of claiming anything from the Brooks family. So, rest assured, I have no intentions of lying claim to any of your family’s assets. ” 

“That’s good to hear!” 

“But, since you’ve caused a stir with my family, it’s only fair we settle the score,” Maeve continued. Turning to Philip, she said, “Uncle Phil, send someone to the Brooks family tomorrow to demand payment. They owe us every penny of the compensation.” 

Philip was momentarily puzzled as the compensation was not worth his attention. 

However, after receiving Maeve’s signal, Philip straightened his posture and declared, “That’s right! Not a penny less!” 

“Such a troublesome lot,” Hailey muttered. She couldn’t stand this kind of petty behavior. 

She chuckled. “Take a good look at her, Sergio. This is the woman you fancy.” 

Sergio looked at Maeve, his eyes filled with restraint. 

He knew Maeve was doing this on purpose. 

By doing this, the ties between the Brooks family and the Scott family could be completely severed. 

Hailey said, “I’ll give you one million dollars. There’s no need for you to come knocking on our door. The Brooks family will provide the compensation eventually. Let’s go!” 

With a sweeping gesture, Hailey led the way out. The rest of Sergio’s men had no choice but to follow her. 

Even Larry couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Brooks, let’s go.“. 

Hailey had spoken, and there was no point in staying there any longer. 

Sergio watched Maeve, who was standing next to Zion. 

He felt a piercing pain in his heart as if it were being torn apart.
