Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve)
Chapter 240

Chapter 240

Initially, Halley had called her over to create a sense of crisis for Maeve. She didn't want Cecilia to be with Sergio,

This time, Cecilia had overstepped.

Just as Cecilia was about to give up, Hailey suddenly said, "However, this time, you can check up on him for me. If Sergio asks, just say that it was my idea."

Cecilla looked up in disbelief. She didn't expect Hailey to allow her to seek out Sergio.

Hailey said coolly, "Well, aren't you going?"

"Thank you, Mrs. Brooks Senior!" Cecilia was delighted as she practically ran out the door. She felt like she had been granted a pardon.

Watching Cecilia's elated departure, Hailey couldn't help but smirk.

The Hoffman family might be destitute, but it was exactly daughters from small households like Cecilia that could be easily manipulated.

Since Marve seemed so indifferent about her position as Mrs. Brooks, it was time to remind her.

There were plenty of women who wanted to marry into the Brooks family.

Maeve wasn't the only one.

Meanwhile, Maeve had arrived at Royal Bistro. Sergio had reserved a table with the best view in the hall. Today, Royal Bistro was filled with Sergio's business associates. As soon as Marve walked in, she drew everyone's attention.

She was wearing a magenta gown with her long, curly hair draped over one shoulder. When Sergio turned and saw Maeve, his thoughts drifted far away.

It had been a long time since Sergio had seen Maeve dressed up like this. The last time he had been this impressed was at the land auction.

Hack then, he had realized how beautiful Maeve was, even though she usually didn't wear any makeup and dressed in simple white dresses.

"This must be Mrs. Brooks. You and Mr. Brooks make a perfect match," someone complimented.

"You're both a match made in heaven! You're truly a perfect pair!" another chimed in

Maeve walked up to Sergio. Sergio smiled and pulled out a chair for her.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Maeve Scott, the current head of

f Scott Group."

The industry was now aware that Maeve had taken over Scott Group, so no one dared to be disrespectful. However, many still thought that she was just a figurehead, relying on Sergio's backing to control the family business.

Maeve could see that these people viewed her as nothing more than Sergio's accessory.

"Mrs. Brooks, you're truly young and accomplished. Let me make a toast to you," a middle-aged man said while downing his drink.

At this meeting, there wasn't a single other woman present besides Maeve.

"I'd like to make a toast to you as well, Mrs. Brooks," another man added.

Another man stood up to join in the toast.

Sergio reached out and took Maeve's hand. "You can toast all you want, but she won't be drinking."

Sergio declared, making his protective stance clear. Naturally, no one dared to insist that Maeve had to drink.

te Scott Group.

Maeve listened to these people, who kept referring to her as "Mrs. Brooks" instead of acknowledging her role as the head of the

It was apparent that they had little respect for her business acumen.

Turning to Sergio, Marve said, "Since we're here to make friends, wouldn't it be rude if I didn't join in the drinking?"

"Mrs. Brooks, there's no need for you to drink. With Mr. Brooks looking out for you like this, is there any deal he can't close for you?" someone responded.

"Exactly! Mr. Brooks has set up this gathering for you. We'll certainly show you respect. We're willing to discuss any profitable businesses with the Scott family."

The people around them were cheering, but Marve's expression remained unchanged

These Blattering remarks were all directed at Sergio, not her.
