Maeve pretended to sip her water casually when her phone buzzed with a call from Lyra, She heard Lyra''s urgent voice on the other end." Maeve! Is Sergio with you, by any chance?" "What''s going on?" Maeve asked.


    "That bastard! He''s been stirring up trouble in mypany these past few days! I have to teach him a lesson!" Lyra eximed.


    "What do you mean?" Maeve frowned. "Sergio targeted yourpany?"


    During her visit to Brooks Manor three days earlier, Lyra had left early due to urgent matters at herpany. But she never imagined Sergio would actually target Lyra''spany because of ra. "It''s unbelievable! I initially suspected rivalpanies, but many investors have pulled outtely. I can''t seal a single deal.


    "Finally, I confronted one of them and revealed that Sergio was behind it. Apparently, anyone who invests in the Jansens is against him!" Lyra''s voice grew more furious, while Maeve''s expression darkened,


    She knew Sergio''s tactics, but she never anticipated he would go to such lengths for ra. After all, everyone knew that Lyra was Kurt Spencer''s granddaughter. As going against the Jansens was equivalent to offending Kurt, Sergio shouldn''t have targeted Lyra, no matter how foolish he was,


    "Don''t worry, I''ll take care of it," Maeve reassured Lyra before ending the call.


    Initially, she wasn''t nning to target Sergio and ra. But now, she realized she had been too lenient as Sergio had no ns of letting Lyra


    off easily.


    Now, Sergio shouldn''t me her for being ruthless. He should me himself instead for stirring up trouble in the first ce.


    Momentster, Maeve stood up and walked towards the restaurant''s exit. Sure enough, Maeve saw Sergio getting a milkshake for ra just outside. They walked side by side, and ra was even hugging Sergio. Without hesitation, she discreetly captured a photo with her phone.


    Sergio probably sensed someone taking a picture of them and nced in Maeve''s direction. Unfazed, Maeve casually waved her phone in front


    of them


    Upon seeing this, Sergio immediately rushed towards Maeve to snatch her phone. However, Maeve swiftly tucked it away. Sergio didn''t dare to use force as there were many people around,


    ra also hurriedly approached to grab Sergio''s arm. She pleaded with Maeve, "Maeve, I''ve already left the Brooks Manor. Please don''t put Mr. Brooks in a tough spot!"


    "Really? Thon, exin this," Maeve retorted.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ra''s face turned pale. "L. I just didn''t know what to do, so..."


    Maeve asked, "Are you clinging to Sergio now for money or sympathy?


    ra''s expression soured. "Maeve, that''s not what I meant!"


    "Stop it, Maeve!" Sergio frowned. "ra''s injured and got kicked out now because of you. Show somepassion!"


    "Me? Compassion?" Maeve sneered. "You didn''t seem to care about showingpassion when you went after the Jansens!"


    Sergio''s expression darkened. "Actions have consequences. I''m just teaching her a lesson."


    "Consequences? ra got hit by a car herself. Why me Lyra? ra had disrupted the Jansens'' propertyunching event and insulted me in front of everyone.


    "I haven''t even confronted her yet and now you''re defending her. You both disgust me!" Maeve said,


    Sergio''s expression darkened, while ra cried and said, "Marve, I don''t understand why you''re saying this. I sincerely wanted to apologize to Ms. Jansen, but she used me of being a homewrecker withou even listening to my side of the story... There''s nothing going on between Mr. Brooks and me, we''re innocent!"


    "Sure, crying in his arms and refusing to leave the Brooks Manor-is that your definition of innocence?" Maeve asked.
