Clara looked just like a victim. At that moment, she was sobbing as she accused the people who bullied her behind her back.”
If they were at school, Clara’s tactic might be able to rouse the sympathy of the people around her, but they weren’t at school right now. Those who were qualified to attend this event were all veterans of the industry, and they had countless years of experience under their belt.
Clara’s little tricks didn’t work at all. The crowd just thought of it as an amusing show to watch.
Only Clará assumed that those people would easily believe her claims.
“How shameless.”
Lyra sneered. She had never seen such a shameless woman in her life.
Clara kept sobbing because of Lyra’s insults. She said, “Ms–Jansen, I know you don’t like me, but I swear I’m not the sort of person you imagine me to be.
“I’ve gotten the wrong person that day, and I accidentally offended you. I’m very sorry for that, so please forgive me, Ms. Jansen. I just wanted your forgiveness.”
Clara humbled herself as much as she could.
Beside her, Raymond, who was always trying to please her, stepped forward at the appropriate time. He said to Lyra, “Ms. Jansen, Ms. Stewart is a female college student Mr. Brooks has high expectations of. Of course, she has undeniably good character.
“You can’t just blindly believe someone else’s claims, either. Please forgive Ms. Stewart, even if it’s just
for Mr. Brooks’s sake.”
With that, Raymond even glanced meaningfully at Maeve, who was standing opposite him.
He obviously had no idea of Maeve’s identity.
“Who do you think you are? Who does Sergio think he is? Why should I do things for his sake?”
Lyra glared at Raymond, whose expression instantly turned foul.
Lyra said coldly, “Even if a real deity is here in person, I’ll still drive this woman out, let alone someone like Sergio! My family’s territory isn’t a place for some poor commoner to come and go as they please!”
Clara’s face turned pale from the insults. She had never been mistreated like this before when she was
with Sergio.
“Guards! Chase her away!”
With a shout from Lyra, the security guards immediately stepped forward.
Clara shouted, “Ms. Jansen! I’m here on Mr. Brooks’s behalf. If you drive me away, you’ll be driving Mr. Brooks away as well! I’m doing this for your sake, Ms. Jansen. You wouldn’t want to lose the opportunity

to partner with Brooks Group in the future, would you?”
Clara shouted at the top of her lungs, fearing that the people around her wouldn’t be able to hear her.
Lyra was furious. No one had dared to threaten her like that before.
*On Sergio’s behalf? What right do you have to do that? What identity are you assuming to represent Sergio? Have you ever held any positions in Brooks Group? Or are you here on Sergio’s behalf as his mistress?”
Clara’s face turned pale.
Behind them, Charlie was so shocked that he didn’t dare say a word.
Fights between women were quite thrilling indeed!
Lyra shouted in a cold voice, “Guards, take her away!”
Clara didn’t expect Lyra to be so stubborn. She glanced around her, surprised that no one stepped forward to stop the guards.
Weren’t they afraid of offending Sergio at all?
Realizing that the situation was getting out of hand, Raymond quickly stepped forward and said, “Ms.
Jansen, Mr. Brooks earnestly wishes to partner with you. We can’t ruin the chance for our companies to
partner up just because of a random stranger!
“Ms. Stewart is here today on Mr. Brooks’s behalf, and she intends to apologize to you for what happened last time. We can also discuss our partnership projects in the future. As for people with Ill intentions_”
Raymond glanced at Maeve before continuing. “They must be trying to stop t
companies. They don’t mean well!”
partnership between our
“Sergio only needs one representative, and that’s me. No one else needs to be here.” After staying silent for a long while, Maeve spoke up expressionlessly. “Ms. Jansen wants to drive her out, and I’ll be around to take responsibility if anything happens.
“Mr. Jones, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Raymond snorted in disdain. “You? Who do you think you are to be worthy of representing Mr. Brooks?”
