ra''s a lot, casing everyone to fall silent for a moment.


    When she realized it, everyone''s gaze was already fixed en her, including Sergio''s and Mawe''s


    At this moment, ra was like a sharp tongued and uneducated woman in everyone''s eye.


    The old gardener stooped over and picked up the roves scattered on the ground. He kept apologizing as he picked up the emes,


    Cura''s expression turned grims when she realized that she had attracted everyone''s attention. She quickly changed her dememor and apolond, "I''m


    my, I was too hasty Are you okay, sir?"


    Although ra had attempted to salvage the situation, it was already toote. It only made her seem insincere,


    M this mot, ra also noticed Marve, who was standing next to Sergio


    Sergio Trevened


    Marve observed Seagle''s expression. It seemed like he was unaware that ra worlde here


    Could it be that ra haile ever encher own?


    This scenario was different from what had happened in her previous life.


    She remembered that in her previous life, Sergio had brought ra to the banquet, where ra had eamed Kurt Spencer''s approval. That was how she had sessfully gone abroad to study.


    After her graduation, with Sergio''s and Kurt''s support, she quickly rose to the top.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Maeve had thought that since Sergio didn''t bring ra this time, she wouldn''t appear


    ra had insisted oning


    "Mr. Brooks


    Hearing themotion inside the clubhouse, Larry rushed in


    Sergio asked in an unfriendly tone, "Who let her in?"


    Larry lowered his head and said, "I thought Ms. Stewart could help you."


    Sergio rubbed his temples.


    He had always been tolerant of ra.


    However, since he had brought Maeve to such an asion, ra shouldn''t have appeared.


    "Ms. Stewart is unfamiliar with the environment. Hurry and go check on her."


    Mare casually took a sip of champagne.


    Sergio watched ra, who was like a deer caught in the headlights. But in the end, he couldn''t bear to leave her alone.


    He said, "I''ll bead over there for a moment. I''lle back in a bit."


    Maeve remained silent.


    It was expected that Sergio would go to ra After all, be had always been unable to let go of her.


    Sergio approached ra and asked, "Why did youe liere?"


    ra felt wrunged as she lowered her head


    Tri sorry Tjunt... wanted toe and take a look."


    She choked back her tears. Seeing her like that, Sergio couldn''t bear to say any harsh words to her. After all, she v


    1 that he had cultivated for so many years. He had also witnessed all her efforts.


    uback"


    Sering Sergio about is leave, ra hurriedly grabbed his sleeve. She said, "Mr. Brooks, can I stay?" Serglo frowned


    ra used to be obedient and aware of her entity. She had never crossed the line like this before. Seeing Sergio''s expression, ra felt his dissatisfaction. She apologized, "I''m sorry. Mr. Brooks. I-L Looking at ra''s face, Sergio couldn''t bear to say anything harsh.


    He responded, "You can stay. This event will also be helpful for your studies abroad."


    ra finally seniled after hearing his words.


    ''T-Then, can follow you?"


    ra inally smiled after hearing his words.


    "T-Then, can I follow you?"


    Sergio nced at the crowd around him. He really couldn''t rest assured if he were to leave ra alone to handle everything by herself.


    "Yeah"


    ra was very hagyn


    Larry couldn''t help but ask, "Mr. Brooks, what about Madan......."


    "Go and apany her. Don''t let her cause trouble likest time."


    in was aware that Marve often attended banquets. For someone like Marve who didn''t understand finance,ing here was just to kill time, Sergio was


    As long as she didn''t spend money recklessly likest time, it was fine.


    Meanwhile, Maeve watched as Larry approached her. Before he could even speak, Maeve asked, "Did he leave to apany ra?III


    "Madam, Ms. Stewart is a key candidate cultivated by thepany, so..."


    "I know, I understand."


    Maeve seemed to be concerned about Sergio and ra.


    Larry breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn''t shake the feeling that Maeve seened different from before.


    Maeve paid attention to ra, who was chatting confidently with several influential people as she stood beside Sergio,


    Although ra had good grades in school, she was still just a student. In front of these seasoned veterans who had been in the business world for so many years, what ra said didn''t mean much. Those people were justplimenting ra out of respect for Sergio.


    Soon, ra faced some difficulties when dealing with a foreign elderly man.


    If Maeve remembered correctly, this person should be a financial tycoon from Xenosia.


    The only problem was that this tycoon only spoke his nativenguage and didn''t speak any othernguages.


    Coincidentally, his trantor wasn''t avable at the moment.


    "Mr. Brooks


    ra bit her lip as she nced at Sergio.


    As Sergio thought about how to ease the awkward situation, Maeve walked over and began chatting fluently with the man in Xynish.


    The man seemed content with what Marve said and then shook hands with her,


    Only then did ra notice Maeve


    Maeve was wearing the same ck dress as her.


    Maeve looked graceful and elegantpared to ra, who seemed like she was wearing a cheap dress from some flea market.


    ra felt aggrieved as she clenched her fists. She said with a smile, "Maeve, you''re really impressive. You can even speak Xynish fluently."


    Maeve smiled at ra without saying anything


    Sergio remembered that Maeve was proficient in foreignnguages. But Xynish wasn''t verymon, and it wasn''t an international lingua franca. It was surprising that she knew thisnguage too. "But Marve, what did you say to Mr. Stephen just now? He looked so happy."


    Maeve replied, "I told him that the piece ofnd near the Southeast Sea that he had acquired from the auction is going to sell well, so he''s happy."


    "That piece ofnd... is going to sell well?"


    ra looked puzzled.


    That piece ofnd didn''t seem particrly remarkable


    "Perhaps," Maeve replied casually.


    In her previous life, that piece ofnd did indeed sell for a good price. The area around it had suddenly developed into a tourist destination, and thend! could produce a great deal of profit.


    It was likely that Frederick Stephen knew about the uing developments in that area, which prompted him to make the purchase.


    ra indeedcked that kind of foresight


    Sergio stared at Maeve for a moment. She began to feel ufortable under his scrutiny.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?" Maeve asked.


    Sergio asked back, "How do you know that thend is going to sell well?
