Marve turned and exited the mall, leaving Sergio to rub his temples in frustration.


    "Who leaked the information?" he asked in a low voice


    "It seems like...it was Ms. Hotfman," Larry replied cautiously.


    Only a handful of people in thepany were aware of the birthday party preparations-from decorating the venue to selecting gifts and organizing the event. It was surprising that Cecilia got wind of it As Maeve''s figure receded, Sergio asked, "Do you think I have no chance let?"


    "Mr. Brooks"


    Even before this, Sergio could tell that Maeve showed no interest in him. When she spoke about that dream, though, there was a trace of bitterness and relief in her eyes,


    Maeve stood outside the mall, regretting not having driven the car out before leaving. Now she was stranded on Seathburn City''s busiest shopping street, wondering how to h cab.


    Suddenly, a Porsche pulled up right in front of her. Before Maeve could react, the window holled down, revealing Zion with a defiant look. "Get in," he said.


    Without hesitation, Maeve slid into the passenger seat. "How did you know I was here?" she asked.


    Zion remained impassive and turned on the car radio in a hut


    "And now, some breaking news: Sergio Brooks, CEO of Brooks Group, has spent a fortune to celebrate his estranged wife''s birthday on the city''s busiestmercial street." "The news got out so quickly." Maeve chuckled lightly and continued "Looks like we''ll soon hear about the news of Mr. Brooks Senior causing a scene."


    "Did she upset you?" zion inquired.


    "Not really," Marve replied with a raised eyebrow. "Her words couldn''t affect me at all.”


    A subtle smile yed on Zion''s lips. "Buckle up, I''m taking you somewhere."


    "Alight"


    Meanwhile, Lyra and Charte rushed to the mall, only to find a group of cleaners tidying up the ce. After exchanging a nce, Charlie approached one of them and asked, "Excuse me, is the event over?"This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    *You guys are toote! It ended half an hour ago," the cleaner responded.


    Lyra licked Charlie in frustration. "This is your fault! I told you to drive taster!"


    "How is it my fault? We were half an hourte! Unless I had a rocket, there was no way we would have made it on time!"


    *You! How dare you talk back to me Lyra twisted Charlie''s ear. "If Sergio manages to whisk away my sister-inw, 1"


    "He won''t," one of the cleaners interjected. "The olddy from the Brooks family came and caused a ruckus, so now we have to clean up the mess."


    Belief washed over Lyra and Charlie''s faces.


    "The olddy from the Brooks family?"


    "Caused a scene?"


    "Perfect!" The two exchanged a knowing look


    "Let''s go find Zee right now! Lyra dered. "We need to book a restaurant for Marve!"


    "Don''t worry, I''ll also reserve a luxurious presidential suite. No loose ends this time!" "Enough talk"" Lyra shouted


    Charlie nodded. "Let''s get to it!"


    Tyra and Charlie split up to make preparations for Maeve''s birthday


    Meanwhile, after spending the whole moming at the amusement park with Serglo, Maeve was


    was exhausted and tell asleep leaning against the car window
