Never See You Again

"What do I mean? Uncle Phil, is there a need to ask?"This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The documents were on the table. Philip took them fearfully and flipped one page, then he went down on his knees.

Maeve merely looked at him nonchalantly. She held back her emotions and said, "Uncle Phil, you're my uncle. I never expected you to set me up."

"Mavy, I had no choice. I'd lose my limbs if I didn't pay back the money. I'd die!"

Philip's wrinkled face was already full of tears and cold sweat.

"Is that why you wanted me to take the blame and be sent to prison?"

Maeve chuckled and continued, "Uncle Phil, you should know that all the charges for corruption, bribery, and embezzlement of company funds are enough to make me spend the rest of my life in prison. But you still did it regardless."

"I had no choice, Mavy. I didn't intend to set you up, but you insisted on managing Scott Group instead of being Mrs. Brooks! And you even insisted on divorcing Sergio!"

Philip added agitatedly, "You have no idea what kind of life I was living in the past. But after you married Sergio, those people didn't dare to do anything to me after hearing about him! Now that you're almost falling out with Sergio, they've been stirring up trouble! I'm... I'm just afraid that people will find out about the financial reports..."

"You're afraid you'll end up in prison if the financial reports get exposed, right?"

Maeve shot Philip a cold look and continued, "It's your mistake, but you want me to take the fall. Uncle Phil, I guess I just didn't know what kind of person you were back then."

"Mavy, I've watched you grow up. Why would I set you up? I know Zion and Sergio are fond of you. They'll definitely save you, so I-"

"Zion is abroad, and Sergio has Clara, who's now pregnant, by his side. Uncle Phil, you just had to report at this time. You were eager to send me to prison when they're away, weren't you?" Maeve's voice was cold. She wasn't that naive to be deceived by a few words.

Philip wanted to get away with it by bringing up their kinship. It might have worked in the past, but she would never buy it since the moment he set her up. Seeing how his plan had failed, Philip stopped defending himself. Maeve said indifferently, "Uncle Phil, you not only want me to take the blame for you, but you also want to keep Scott Group to yourself. Am I right?"

As long as Maeve was in prison, Philip could officially hold the reins of the Scott family, and the company would be his. If there were any issues with Scott Group's financial reports later, as the person in charge of the company, he had the absolute right to explain.

Hearing that Maeve had exposed his intention, Philip took a deep breath and said, "Mavy, I was the one who raised you, so you should repay me. If you can resolve this for me and pay me ten billion dollars, I promise not to gamble anymore, and I'll quit Scott Group. I'll also give you all my shares!"

"Ten billion dollars? You've got a lot of nerve to ask for that, Uncle Phil."

The shares Philip had in Scott Group weren't even worth five billion dollars. However, Philip wanted her to pay off the one-billion-dollars debt for him and even asked for ten billion dollars as compensation. It was too much.

"Mavy, don't force me. I feel bad for you, too. I'm still your uncle if you agree to my condition. I'm your only family member in this world!"

"Uncle Phil, I always thought Sharon was shameless in the past. I just didn't expect you to be the same."

Maeve rose to her feet. Whether in her previous life or this life, she hadn't seen Philip's true color.

Just when Maeve was about to leave, Philip walked up to her. But before he could do anything with the ashtray in his hand, several bodyguards in black dashed in. Maeve's eyes darkened. When she turned around, she saw Philip's ferocious look

He looked exactly the same as how James looked in the past.

She initially thought that James had behaved that way because of how Sharon had brought him up. However, it seemed to her that both the father and son were just

the same.

Maeve stated coolly, "Uncle Phil, are you trying to kidnap me to blackmail Zion?"

The bodyguards had been watching outside. They would rush in immediately as soon as they sensed that something wasn't right.
