Chapter 443


    Maeve replied, “Maybe. But Mr. Ramoz, you should be aware of what the Brooks family is like. My grandmother–inw isn’t easy to handle. If your daughter marries into Brooks family, she might suffer in the future.


    “Oh, and by the way, Mrs. Brooks Senior seems to suspect that ra might not be your daughter. She’ll probably arrange a meeting soon to interrogate you thoroughly.


    *Even <b>though </b>she’s aging now, she’s still very particr about ber granddaughter–inw’s status<b>, </b><b>so </b>I hope you can excuse her for that.”


    With that, Maeve stood up and told the waiter, “There’s no need to serve the food. Pack everything for Mr. Ramoz to take home. I don’t think he wants to dine with me


    Without waiting for the waiter’s response, Maeve turned and left.


    Henry, visibly upset with the Brooks family, mmed his fist on the table.


    Meanwhile, Maeve remained unfazed. Whether ra was Henry’s daughter or not, Henry seemed convinced she was. There was no way he would have swallowed his <b>pride </b>after being humiliated by Halley,


    Halley was <b>proud </b>and arrogant. When she invited Henry to dinner tomorrow, things were bound to get interestingUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Once outside the Royal Bistro, Marve took out her phone <b>and </b>called Lyra


    “<b>What</b>? You’re treating us to dinner?” Lyra sounded puzzled.


    “Yeah. Tomorrow night at the Royal Bistro. I’m inviting you all for dinner and a show,” Maeve replied.


    “I get dinner, but is there an event at the Royal Bistro tomorrow? Who’s performing Lyra asked, sounding even more confused.


    Charlie grabbed Lyra’s phone and said to Marve, “Ms. Scott, count us in for suce!”


    Maeve nodded and then had Za book a private room.


    The next day, Maeve didn’t show up at the Hackett Group at


    By <b>6:00 </b>pm, everyone had gathered at the Royal Bistro.


    “Ms. Scott, this is the first time you’re treating us. What’s going on? What’s the big show?” Charlie asked excitedly as the waiters began serving dishes.


    “Keep it down. These private rooms aren’t exactly soundproof,” Maeve cautioned.


    “Really?” Charlie looked perplexed


    Across from them, Zion deftly prepared fish for Marve, looking every bit like her loyalpanion.


    “Mr. Ramoz, this way, please. Mrs. Brooks Senior has been waiting for you,” Allie politely invited Henry in. But unexpectedly, Henry had brought Conner along.


    Upon seeing Sergio’s rival, Halley’s expression darkened.


    Henry, however, remained unfazed. “Conner is like a son to me. When I heard that Mrs. Brooks Senior graciously invited us to dinner, I thought it would be a good opportunity for him to broaden his horizons. I hope that’s alright.”


    “If I objected, would he leave? Hailey replied coldly.


    She hadn’t nned to put up a friendly facade. After all, the Brooks family was <b>the </b>leading enterprise in Seachbum. While the Ramoz family was esteemed as well, they couldn’t match the Brooks” wealth and influence.


    In Hailey’s view, inviting Henry was already a mark of respect toward the Ramoz family. Yet Henry, unappreciative as ever, had even brought Conner along.
