Never See You Again

"Maeve! How dare you speak to my mom like that?" James rose from his chair as if he was ready for a fight.

Maeve cast a glance at the both of them. "I have every right to question her, James. As the head of the Scott family, it's within my authority to do so. It would still be my right even if I were to send her to prison. The Scott family's traditions were deeply rooted, and James' expression changed immediately upon hearing Maeve's words.

Sharon hurriedly intervened, "It's... It's all a misunderstanding, Ms. Scott..."

"A misunderstanding? Aunt Sharon, wasn't it your intention to send me to Sergio?" Maeve's words left Sharon speechless.

Sharon had indeed intended to do so, but Maeve's unexpected return had thwarted her plans.

Maeve said icily, "I've been kind enough to forgive you time and time again. But this time, I won't show any mercy." With thes

With that, she pulled out her phone. James immediately rushed forward and said, "What are you doing?"

"Calling the police," Maeve replied coldly. "What you did today is considered kidnapping. And let's not forget about your previous attempt on my life. I forgave you back then because you were young, but it doesn't mean that I'm weak or easily intimidated."

"James, you can't let her call the police! If she does, we're finished!" Sharon pleaded as her eyes darted anxiously between James and Maeve.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

James, who was now an adult and physically stronger than Maeve, acted swiftly. He snatched the phone from her grasp as soon as he heard Sharon's plea.

At that moment, Philip heard the commotion and walked down from upstairs. He looked bewildered when he saw the scene before him." What's going on? Why are you arguing?"

"Phil... L.." Sharon stammered. She was unsure of how to explain the situation.

Suddenly, James grabbed the ashtray from the table and smashed it against Maeve's head without hesitation.

Maeve froze as she was caught off guard by James' vicious attack. When she turned to face him, she was met with his twisted, malevolent expression.

"James! What do you think you're doing?"

Upon witnessing the scene, Philip rushed down from upstairs and headed toward Maeve. Sharon was taken aback and asked, "James... What are you.. "Mavy!" Philim

"Mavy!" Philip hurried over to help Maeve up from the floor, then turned to glare angrily at James. "Hurry, call 911!"

James' eyes flashed with hostility as he aimed another blow, this time at Philip's forehead.

Instantly, blood trickled down Philip's brow.

Sharon's face was filled with disbelief. "James Scott! Do you realize what you're doing? How could you hit your father?"

"He told me to call 911! It means that he wants me dead! You have no idea what I went through in prison, Mom! You don't understand! I finally got out of prison, but this old fart has given everything to Maeve and left me with nothing!"

James' voice dripped with malice. "Do you think the Brooks family will forgive us if we don't send Maeve to him? Who do you think she is? Do you think she can fight against Mr. Brooks? It's better to do this right now!"

Sharon couldn't believe that her son, James, whom she had raised, could stoop to such levels.
