    "Marve!" Sergio suddenly pressed Marve against the wall; his eyes were void of any emotion.


    away as you please?"


    "Stepping out so we could be together? What do you take me for, Maeve? An object? Something you can have or give an Marve furrowed her brow. "That''s not what I meantTM


    Sergio took a step closer to Maeve, his voice filled with anger. "Then what did you mean?


    "Have you discussed this with me?


    Maeve furrowed her brow even deeper.


    "Sergio, if it''s about the partnership with Scott Group, I assure you, even with a divorce, those projects can proceed."


    "Do you think I''m refusing this because of the partnership with Scott Group?"


    Sergio


    inched closer, and Marve looked up at him.


    "Isn''t it?"


    "Of course


    not!"


    Sergio ced his hands on Maeve''s shoulders, his eyes bloodshot.


    "Listen to me carefully, I will never agree to a divorce! You''ll never leave this family."


    L BO!!


    "Lot B


    Maeve pushed Sergio away, sneering, "Sergio, don''t tell me you don''t want a divorce because you love me."


    Before Sergio could speak, Maeve interrupted, "I''m not that vain to think you would ever be interested in me. You repeatedly embarrassed me in front of others because of ra and dealt with my friends unfairly. I''ve had enough of this marriage. Whether you agree or not, I''m getting a divorce."


    "Maeve! Where did you get the confidence to say such words?" Sergio asked angrily. "Aren''t you hanging around with Zion, getting involved with him? When have you ever shown me respect?" "Me and Zion?" Maeve found it amusing. "So that''s what you think of me."


    "Aren''t you asking me for a divorce because of him? Maeve, you''re just an easy woman, aren''t you?" Sergio sneered.


    "Shut up!" Marve pushed Sergio away. The disgust in her eyes was evident. "I''m ashamed to have ever liked you in the past!"


    Sergio felt a pang inside as be looked at her eyes.


    She turned to leave, but Sergio subconsciously grabbed ber arm. "Where are you going?"


    "Let go!"


    Maeve frowned as Sergio''s grip tightened and pulled her onto the sata, pinning her down. Sergio''s fiery gaze wandered between Maeve''s nose and lips; his tone was filled with rage.


    "Wasn''t Zion doing the same thing to you yesterday?"


    "What nonsense are you talking about?"


    Marve tried to p Sergio, but he caught her wrist.


    Sergio tightened his grip on Maeve''s wrist, and she winced in pain.


    "Nonsense? Maeve, I was willing to risk my life to save you, and when you woke up, you just left! You never even visited me once. How could you be so heartless?" Maeve struggled, then sneered, "You have ra to take care of you. You don''t even need me."


    Sergio''s grip on Maeve''s hand loosened


    Marve continued, "Sergio, if you like ra, why won''t you let me go?"


    Sergio gritted his teeth. "I''ve never said I like ra."


    "Yeah,


    1, you never said it, but you''ve hurt me countless times for her. Can you I like her?"


    you honestly say ra doesn''t hold a ce in your heart? Don''t you


    Sergio was at a loss for words. He was unable to justify himself as he had moments ago.


    He didn''t know what was happening to him.
