Chapter 282
Maeve dropped her smile and said, "Let's go."
Zion waved his hand casually, and his men began to withdraw.
Sergio was unwilling to give up. He tried to follow Maeve, but Larry stopped him. "Mr. Brooks! You can't go after them. That's Zion!"
"I'm the one in charge here in Seathburn! Who does he think he is?"
"Kurt has handed the Spencer family's business to Zion. We can't afford to mess with him!"
"Get out of my way!" Sergio shoved Larry aside. His eyes then locked onto Clara.
"Sergio..."
His gaze was so intense that it seemed like he wanted to devour her whole. Clara stepped back in fear, worried that Sergio would actually kill
her.
"Take the three of them back for questioning!"
"And what about Ms. Stewart?"
"Lock her in the basement!" Sergio's eyes were cold and merciless. "If Grandma asks about it, tell her that I've sent her to somewhere safe. "Yes, Mr. Brooks."
"Sergio! I'm carrying your child! You can't do this to me! Sergio! You can't treat me like this! Let me go!" Clara struggled desperately, but her hands had been restrained.
Then, she was dragged out of the church.
Meanwhile, Larry picked up the divorce agreement from the ground. He hesitated as he addressed Sergio, "Mr. Brooks, about the divorce agreement..."
Sergio merely glanced at the divorce agreement before snatching it away and tearing it in half. "As long as I don't agree to it, Maeve will always be my wife. Even if Zion is as aggressive as ever, he can't take her away from me,"
"But Mr. Brooks, we're already in such a difficult situation. We can't afford to have any more conflicts with the Spencer family," Larry protested.
Sergio responded icily, "I'll make sure that Zion knows who the true king of this city is,"
He believed that as long as Zion fell, Maeve would eventually return to him.
Meanwhile, Maeve got into Charlie's car. She furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zion replied calmly, "I was worried that you would be in danger."
"Nonsense! He was worried that you'd go soft on Sergio!" Charlie, who was sitting in front, disrupted the conversation.
Zion cast a cold glance at Charlie in the rearview mirror, silencing him instantly,
Upon seeing this, Maeve couldn't help but chuckle. "It seems like even Zion, who's usually fearless, has his moments of being scared."
"I have plenty of fears," Zion replied casually. "I'm afraid that you won't move on from Sergio. I fear that you'll regret the divorce and... that you won't end up liking me.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
When Maeve heard that, her cheeks were tinted pink as she turned her head away.
Charlie appeared visibly uncomfortable. He felt as though his usually reserved partner had had a sudden change of attitude. Could it be a result of his pent-up emotions? Taking a quick peek at the rearview mirror, Charlie noticed Zion's gaze toward Maeve and quickly averted his eyes.
He came to the conclusion that Zion's sudden change in behavior was because of his pent-up emotions.
At that moment, a graceful woman in high heels stepped off the plane at the airport. She looked up at the sky and smiled gently. "I'm back,
