The dining area of Serenity Hotel had been reserved by Sergio. The dim lighting and vintage music lent an air of ambiguity to the atmosphere as the chiefid out the dishes before them.


    Maeve nced at the dishes on the table and remarked coolly, "I thought you came to see me to sign the divorce agreement.


    Today, the Brooks Group had been in turmoil, and there were not just dozens but hundreds ofints from all levels of thepany about


    her.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    Under such p


    pressure, Sergio should be discussing divorce with her.


    "Does Zion know about you and Zachary''s affairs?" Sergio suddenly interjected. He furrowed his brow.


    "What do you mean?" Maeve asked. She was puzzled.


    "Zachary went against the Brooks Group for you. Before your ident, you handed over the Scott Group to him. Your rtionship must be special"


    Maeve suddenly realized Sergio''s words.


    Sergio believed Maeve had achieved her current status because of Zachary''s support.


    Sergio never believed that a woman like her could have elevated the Scott Group to its current status. He couldn''t fathom that the once submissive Marve, who always followed him around, could be the one in control of Mirage Group.


    "So, Sergio, you believe there''s something between Zachary and me?" Maeve twirled the drink in her hand.


    She smiled and asked, "I''m curious, what sort of connection do you imagine? Merely physical, or...


    "Maeve, in the past, I wronged you. That''s why I''ve had nothing to say about what you''ve done. But you shouldn''t degrade yourself like this!"


    Sergio had never lost hisposure in front of anyone before. Seeing him in such a state now, Maeve was unimpressed.


    "Sergio, you don''t understand me at all. Since you don''t want a divorce, then there''s no need for us to continue this dinner."


    As Maeve stood up, Sergio tightly embraced her from behind.


    Feeling trapped, Maeve frowned. "Sergio! Let me go!"


    Sergio''s voice was low as he said, "That day at the police station, you intentionally had them release me. You still like me, right?"


    Upon hearing this, Maeve stopped struggling and allowed Sergio to hug her.


    Feeling the person in his arms no longer resisting, Sergio hadn''t even had a chance to feel relieved before Maeve uttered coldly, "I let you go because you had nothing to do with the matter, that''s all." Meanwhile, the driver had already dropped ra off outside the Serenity Hotel. Through the ss window, ra saw Sergio embracing Maeve


    from behind.


    ra seethed with anger. She immediately rushed into the hotel. The security guards didn''t stop her.


    ra wasted no time in pulling Maeve away, delivering a p to her face.


    "You slut! You''re about to get divorced, and you''re still trying to seduce Sergio. You have no shame."


    ra''s loud voice startled the hotel guests who were checking in outside the restaurant. She drew many curious nces in their direction. Sergio, noticing themotion, immediately shook off ra''s hand from Maeve''s arm. "Are you crazy? Who told you toe here and cause


    Scene?"


    "If you dare to book a room here with this woman, why wouldn''t I dare toe over? Sergio! Don''t forget, I''m carrying your child!


    "Mrs. Brooks Senior has promised me that once you divorce, I''ll enter the Brooks family. How could you treat me like this?"


    ra''s tantrum drew the attention of the people around, prompting discussions among them.


    Outside the restaurant, onlookers casted curious nces at Maeve and Sergio. The pregnant woman''s presence made them resemble a scandalous couple.


    Larry rushed in and said, "Mr. Brooks!"


    Sergio''s gaze swept over Larry like a sharp de. "Who allowed her toe?"


    "L. I..." Larry knew that iming ignorance now was futile,


    Meanwhile, saneone in the bushes outside the hotel pressed the shutter button and quickly departed.


    Maeve was growing impatient. She said coldly, "You two can keep arguing, but don''t bother me.


    "Maeve, you can''t leave!"


    ra grabbed Maeve''s hand, her face twisted with jealousy and anger. "Everyone,e and see! This woman is trying to seduce my husband even though they''re getting divorced!"


    As more and more people gathered to watch, Sergio''s expression darkened. "ra, I indulge you too much."
