Sergio didn''t want to argue with his grandmother who raised him, so he left the banquet without saying one word.


    Hailey stood still she tried toprehend Sergio''s words from earlier.


    "What does that mean?"


    Halley looked at ra beside her and asked, "What did Sergio mean by that?"


    "I have no idea..."

    The Brooks family was the dominant force in Seathburn City''s business circle, and everyone know that,


    So how could the Scott family, who were already on the decline, suddenly surpass them?


    Larry couldn''t contain himself and spoke up, "Mrs. Brooks Senior, you''ve disrupted Mr. Brooks'' entire n today!" He didn''t borate further and quickly went to find Sergio.


    "Mes


    irs. Brooks Senior, please don''t worry. This is all Ah!"


    Before ra could finish her sentence, Hailey pped her.


    ra''s expression changed instantly. Hailey gave her a cold look and said, "It''s all your fault! You wretch, it''s all because you''ve seduced Sergio. Otherwise, how could the Brooks family have such a scandal?" ra didn''t dare to speak up, even in anger.


    After all, she hadn''t married Sergio yet. She still needed Mrs. Brooks Senior to act as a matchmaker for her.


    ra bit her lip and said, "I know what happened between Sergio and me is disgraceful. But that night, Sergio forced me. Now, I''m carrying the child of the Brookes family in my belly.

    Hailey valued lineage greatly. So upon hearing ra''s words, she suppressed her anger and said, "If Marve had a child back then, you would still have any chance now?"


    After her remark, Hailey turned to leave. She disregarded ra as she walked away.


    Though ra felt resentful, she dared not disobey Hailey.


    She immediately followed behind Hailey and said, "Please rest assured, Mrs. Brooks Senior. Once Sergio and Lare married, I will wholeheartedly support him in his work. After all, I am a graduate of Amenam University, and Sergio has helped me.

    "I won''t forget his kindness, and I''ll take good care of you in the future. If you wish, I can even stay at home to tend to the household and children..."


    Hailey simply looked down on women like ra due to her background and paid no attention to her words.


    Meanwhile, Maeve was still in the car. She watched ra being deliberately left outside by Hailey, finding it amusing,


    Halley remained unchanged. Even though she knew ra was pregnant, ra was nothing more than a lowly existence in her eyes. As long as ra gave birth to that child, Hailey could even discard her at will.


    Mrs. Brooks Senior was indeed skilled at making grand promises.


    Bryce spoke up, "Did you never intend to cooperate with the Brooks family from the beginning?"


    "Yeah" Maeve said, "If I cooperate with the Brooks family once, it would inevitably lead to a second time. It''s better to find a way topletely sever the Brooks family''s desire to work with us."


    "I can''t decide if you''re cunning or heartless, especially considering he was once your husband," Bryce remarked.
