Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 

Richard felt compelled to show Sergio some respect. Seeing Sergio speak up, Richard glanced at Zion, who remained silent, and said, “Mr. Brooks, it’s not that I’m not disrespecting you, 

bur.” 

Richard trailed off, his meaning clear, 

Sergio looked at Zion. Then, he coldly replied, “Mr. Carter, you’d better think carefully about who rules Seathburn City.” 

Zion responded calmly, “Perhaps you, Sergio, ruled Seathburn before. From now on, it’s me, Zion, though.” 

The tension between them was palpable. 

Just then, Maeve’s phone buzzed with incoming photos. As she looked at them, her eyes grew cold, and she glared at Sergio with newfound 

disdain 

“Mr. Brooks, is this your doing?” 

Sergio was dumbfounded. 

Maeve held up her phone, revealing photos of her unconscious in a dimly lit room and with her clothes torn. The implication was clear. 

Sergio frowned deeply. “It wasn’t me, Mavy…” 

“Enough!” Maeve snapped. “Mr. Brooks, do you think you can threaten me with these photos?” 

“L” 

Zion took Maeve’s phone, his expression darkening as he saw the images. 

Hailey sneered, “Maeve, don’t blame Sergio for your family’s mess. Sergio is standing right here. You know exactly who sent those photos.” Trying to ease the tension, Larry quickly explained, “Mrs. Brooks, this has nothing to do with Mr. Brooks. It must be a misunderstanding!” “A misunderstanding?” Maeve retorted. “Well, then, it seems like there are quite a few of misunderstandings between Mr. Brooks and me.” She turned to Richard and said, “Mr. Carter, if Mr. Brooks’s secretary claims he wasn’t involved and was merely trying to rescue me, let’s just end this here.” 

“E–End it here?” Richard thought he misheard. Instinctively, he glanced at Zion, awaiting his decision. 

Zion handed the phone back to Maeve. “Whatever Maeve says is what I say.” 

“Y–Yes, of course,” Richard stammered. After that, he ordered the officers, “Release Mr. Brooks!” 

As soon as Sergio was released, Maeve turned and pulled Zion away. 

Seeing Maeve leave, Cecilia sneered. “She claims she can’t be threatened, but in the end, she scurries off to save her reputation.” 

Sergio, barely containing his anger, snapped, “Shut up.”
