Chapter 291
“But I think Zion has feelings for you.” Phillip frowned and advised Maeve, “Mavy, take it from me and stay away from men. You never know what kind of dangers you might end up in”
“Alright,” Maeve replied absentmindedly.
Her thoughts were elsewhere as she glanced at the corridor outside the window.
She watched as Zion moved around her room and looked at her childhood photos on her desk.
“Zion!” Maeve rushed in and quickly removed several photos from the table.
Among them was a wedding photo of her and Sergio
Zion’s gaze turned cold and his voice was tinged with bitterness. “You even framed your wedding photo and placed it on the table. Do you really love him that much?”
“It’s not ” ‘Magwe didn’t know h
how to explain it to him.
This was from when she and Sergio liad just gotten married.
They hadn’t had a wedding ceremony, so there were hardly any photos of them together. So, the wedding photo with the red background was the only one she had.
She was in love with Sergio back then. Thus, she cherished the photo dearly and placed it away carefully.
However, it felt like a cruel joke.
“It’s getting late, I’m heading back.” Zion remained expressionless.
Although he always hid his anger, Maeve could sense his frustration this time.
Outside the door, Philip observed Zion’s stoic demeanor and sensed something amiss. He hurried in and asked Maeve, “Maeve, did you two get Into an argument?”
“It’s nothing serious, Uncle Phil. It’s late, and I think you should rest,” Marve replied wearily and rubbed the space between her eyebrows.
“What about Mr. Spencer?”
“He’ll… probably be fine.”
After all, the photo had been there a long time ago. However, it had nothing to do with her now.
Zion couldn’t possibly be angry. He would get over it eventually.
Maeve couldn’t get a wink of sleep that night.
Early the next morning, word of the Brooks family’s retaliation against the Scott family began circulating online.
Maeve woke up to the commotion downstairs, where Sharon was already in a fury.
“I’ve been telling Ms. Scott about this. She should’ve just smoothed things over with Mr. Brooks. Now look! Mr. Brooks is going against the Scott family! I don’t think the Mirage Group will be able to save us anymore!”
Maeve sauntered down the stairs, looking unfazed amidst the chaos.
Sharon couldn’t contain her frustration upon seeing her. “Ms. Scott, you seem rather relaxed! Do you have any idea what kind of mess we’re in right now?
