On the side, an executive intervened, but the meaning of his wandsqualia''t be more obvious.


    He was there in drive ra away.


    After all, they didn''t need to give ra any respect, without Sergio backing her.


    "Why has the atmosphere be so truse while I was away for just act?" Mave stepped out of the nestronni, and her gaze


    Immediately fell on Churc


    ra turned around, and her expression soured the moment she saw Maeve,Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Marve was dressed to the nines todow, exuding: elegance and nobility with every moNA.


    In contrast, ra''s attice seemed tacky. She backed the grace of a debatante or the elegance of a socialite. She looked more like an uncouth nightb hostess.


    Maeve had previously doubted Sergio''s taste. Alter all, ra''s appearance wasn''t particrly outstanding. Her figure wasn''t remarkable either, merely passing for an innocent look.


    But now, ra had deliberately dressed su maturely, overshadowing her only innocent advantage.


    She looked like a vulgar no richedy.


    Maeve smiled and said, "Se, ra is here too. What a coincidence."


    "Mw..."


    "I prefer that


    you call me "Mrs. Brooks," Maeve said, cutting off Cant''s words directly.


    ra looked unwilling, obviously not wanting to acknowledge Maeve as Mrs. Tooks in front of so many people.


    "Why are you here, Ms. Stewart? Do you have a dinner appointment?" Maeve nced around and continued, "Bot from what I see, it seems like you''re the only one here?"!


    with my colleague. She''s in the restroom."


    ra forced a smile and replied, "I''m here w


    "Oh, that''s right. You seem to be working now. After being dismissed by Tomkins Corporation, whichpany have you joined?


    Maeve looked at ra with interest. She seemed to be waiting for her response.


    ra opened her mouth but couldn''t utter a word. She nced at Sergio, who was sitting in the chair and ignoring her.


    Then, ra looked at Maeve, who was enjoying the scene. ra forced out a smile and said, "I''m interning at... Evergreen Corporation." "Evergreen Corporation? Maeve raised an eyebrow. "That''s under the Mirage Group, isn''t it?"


    Lately, the rift between Mirage Group and Brooks Group wasn''t a secret.


    ra''s words made the surrounding executives expressions sour. Their businesses were suffering, and this was attributed to the Mirage Group.


    "Mr. Brooks, your assistance to Ms. Stewart over the years has only served to advance the interests of others," one of the executives remarked. "Mirage Group sure has some nerve. They didn''t even check who the person was before hiring," another added.


    Several people made sarcastic remarks, all directed at ra,


    ra''s face turned grim


    She had chosen Mirage Group before because Sergio had ordered her not to be employed by anypany associated with Brooks Group, She felt helpless.


    ra looked at Sergio


    o with a hint of expectation. She hoped that he would speak up for her,


    However, Sergio said, "ra is no longer receiving assistance from Brooks Group. Where she goes has nothing to do with Brooks Group." ra''s expression worsened after Sergio distanced himself, Marwe spoke up. "Ms. Stewart, it seems like you''re here to have dinner with your colleagues from Evergreen Corporation today. In that case, we won''t disturb you. Please go ahead."


    With that, Maeve returned to her seat. She nced at the sses on the table that had been tampered with and raised her voler as she said, Excuse me, please get me a new ss." Soon, a waiter approached to rece Marw''s ss.


    The meaning of the whole situation was ringly apparent to ra, leaving her feeling particrly ufortable Chapter 242


    Maeve was undoubtedly publicly humiliating her.
