"I just needed some fresh air," Maeve said as she noticed a hint of unease in Levi''s eyes. "Does your brother


    "Not exactly.. that''s where Levi does his business," Levi replied vaguely.


    r mind people going upstairs?"


    Maeve wasn''t familiar with the rules of the Hackett family, having never attended one of their events before. However, the fact that no one had stopped her from going upstairs earlier suggested that Levi had permitted it, perhaps as a warning against getting too close to his brother.


    "It''s gettingte, I should go," Maeve said.


    "I''ll send you back," Levi insisted.


    "It''s fine." As Maeve was about to leave, Sergio had entered the Hackett Manor. Despite the toast from the other guests, he walked straight to


    Maeve.


    "Let''s go home," Sergio said firmly, leaving no room for discussion.


    Maeve avoided his gaze as her expression turned cold. Just moments ago, everyone had witnessed Sergio carrying ra away. Yet now he''s suddenly back to bring her home. Was he trying to publicly embarrass her?


    Sheldon sneered "Should Maeve always do as you say, Sergio? Seems a bit controlling, don''t you think?"


    Sergio nced at Levi with an indifferent expression. He continued, "Maeve is my wife. If she''s noting with me, is she nning to leave with you?"

    Sergio didn''t spare Sheldon a nce, instead, he grabbed Maeve''s hand to leave. Maeve winced and frowned slightly. She couldn''tprehend why Sergio was using such force!


    However, before Sergio could reach the door, a group of bodyguards blocked their path, followed by another group surrounding Sergio and Maeve. Maeve surveyed her surroundings noting that these guards were armed with stun batons,


    Courtesy before violence? Levi was indeed intriguing.


    "Mr. Hackett, are you not intending to let me leave?" Sergio asked.


    Levi responded with a faint smile, "Of course, no one could stop Mr. Brooks from leaving. However, Ms. Scott is Sheldon''s good friend and an honored guest of the Hackett family. No one can take her away unless she chooses to."
