Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 445

Chpater 445 

Henry stormed off in a hurt, leaving the crowd next door stifling their laughter. 

Watching a well–known philanthropist and a respected noblewoman argue so intensely was quite a sight, Charlie’s face even flushed as he struggled to hold back his amusement 

From the adjacent room, the crash of Hailey flipping a table echoed, prompting a waiter to rush in for cleanup. Only then did laughter erupt. 

“I never imagined that old hag would almost start cursing!” Lyra shook her head as she savored the drama. “Gossip has never been this juicy. None of the past scandals even come close. 

Lyra turned to Marve and asked, “So, with this fiasco, Clara’s chances of joining the Brooks family are pretty much zero, right?” 

Maeve raised an eyebrow. “With things blowing up like this, Hailey will never accept Clara” 

Considering Nathalie’s background, she should have been the perfect candidate the right age, reputable family background, scholarly lineage, and her father a philanthropist 

Compared to the powerful Brooks family, she’d have been easier to manipulate. So, what really pleased Halley was Clara’s identity as Nathalie. 

Since Sergio had once been so fond of Clara, Halley might have assumed that with Clara pregnant, Sergio would eventually divorce Maeve. Unfortunately, this move severed Clara’s path into the Brooks family. 

A counterfeit socialite who isn’t easily controlled would never catch Hailey’s eye, especially since the Barnoz family humiliated her like this. It was like stepping on Hailey’s toes. 

The old–fashioned, highly dignified Halley would never take this lightly. After all, the Ramoz family dared to challenge her, it would be surprising if she didn’t find a way to retaliate. 

“Let’s eat.” In the meantime, Zion had meticulously deboned the fish and placed it in front of Maeve. 

Lyra, engrossed in conversation, didn’t notice this small gesture and asked, “But with all this drama, what about the baby Clara’s carrying? Sergio will be even less inclined to 

divorce you now.” 

“Conner will take care of the baby. As for Sergio..” Mentioning Sergio, Marve noticed Zion’s jealousy simmered. Even his movements slowed as if he was waiting for her next 

words. 

Maeve cleared her throat and said, “Let’s eat first. The food’s getting cold.” 

Marve focused on her meal while occasionally stealing glances at Zion. With perfect composure, he continued serving her food and handing her napkins from time to time. 

Feeling guilty,Maeve accidentally choked on her tea when Zion handed it to ber 

Charlie and Lyra exchanged puzzled looks at the tension between the two. 

That evening. Zion drove Maeve back to her apartment. When they reached the parking lot, zion opened the passenger door and took Maeve’s bag. “I’ll walk you up ” 

Marve’s breath caught as she got nervous. In the elevator, neither of them spoke.
