Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 423

The sky darkened as Clara sat in Conner's home. Restlessness gnawed at her after she watched the news, where she saw Sergio and Cecilia by Hailey's side.

The media buzzed with speculation that Cecilia might replace Maeve as the next Mrs. Brooks.

Clara glanced at her slightly protruding belly and cursed. "That old hag must be thinking of getting Cecilia to replace me in the Brooks family! No, I won't allow it!"

Conner was beyond predictable. He was a lunatic!

She couldn't stay with him any longer. If she wanted a future, she had to rely on Sergio.

Clara clenched her teeth in frustration. Just then, Conner came out from the bathroom, and Clara instinctively wanted to retreat.

But knowing she needed an escape plan, she cautiously approached Conner. "Conner, I haven't been home in days. I miss Dad. Can I—?"

Conner sneered, "What are you plotting now?"

"How could I possibly do that? I just... really want to go home..."

"If you plan to tell Mr. Ramoz something like I mistreated you, don't bother wasting your breath."

Conner's voice grew cold. "Your secrets are in my hands. If you dare utter a word, you'll face the consequences."

Clara masked her fear and continued, "Conner, you've got me wrong. I would never betray you. You know I'm at your mercy. If anything leaks, it's my own demise."

"You know better." Conner's indifference was chilling as he changed his clothes.
