Never See You Again

hapter 528 

Maeve shook of Cecilia’s hand and stepped aside. Sergio shot Cecilia a cold, dismissive glance as she sprawled on the floor. “I’ve told you before–stop making up stories. Nothing happened between us.” 

“Serg, 1 know you’re denying it because Ms. Scott is here! But it’s true that we slept together… Mrs. Brooks Senior asked me to look after you that night. 

“Do you really think I’m foolish enough to make the same mistake nice?”” 

Sergio’s words lei Cecilia stunned 

“I never drank that wine, and I wasn’t the one who went into your room that night. Do I have to spell it out for you to understand? Sergio’s voice was ice–cold. Hailey had kept Cecilia at the Brooks Estate recently to help her get acquainted with the place. A few days ago, Cecilia drugged a drink and brought it to Sergio’s study, However, Sergio had been aware of Hailey’s scheme from the start. To avoid embarrassing her, he had Larry switch the drink. 

After pretending to drink it, he immediately sent Cecilia away. He had no idea what happened afterward, so it certainly wasn’t him who went into Cecilia’s room. 

Nuit can’t be Mrs. Brooks Senior told me!” Cecilia was in denial. 

“She told you that Sergio went into your room because he’s interested in you? How nave can you be? Do you really think Mrs. Brooks Senior will have Sergio marry you someday?” Originally, Hailey had only wanted to use Cecilia to distract Sergio. But now that she and Sergio had decided to remarry, Cecilia was no longer needed. 

Maeve stepped forward and said, “You should ask Mrs. Brooks Senior herself. I’m sure she’ll tell you the truth” 

Cecilia, in disbelief, retreated step by step before running to the elevator. A worried housekeeper followed her. 

Sergio pressed his lips together. “Mavy…” 

“No need for explanations, Sergio. You won’t make the same mistake twice” 

Maeve turned to Sergio. “But just to make sure our agreement proceeds smoothly, please keep your affairs in check and don’t cause unnecessary trouble for me, Mr. Brooks. Even if you can’t resist…at least keep it discreet” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Maeve gave Sergio a distant smile, causing him to frown. “Does it have to be this way between us?” 

“Mr. Brooks, there shouldn’t be anything between us. In fact, we’re not close, are we?” Marve questioned Aside from their marriage, there was nothing between her and Sergio. 

The two entered the elevator in silence. Sergio broke it. “Why did you mention 

Sergio, ever perceptive, sensed something was off 

my great–grandfather in the memorial ball?” 

Maeve led casually, “I was just curious. The Brooks Group is such a massive enterprise, and your grandfather had the ability to build a business empire from scratch.” 

While it was true that the Brooks family rose to prominence in Seathburn City under Sergio’s father and reached its peak under Sergio, Sergio’s grandfather’s achievements were undeniable. 

“This empire wasn’t built by my grandfather.” 

“What did you say?!”
