“So, you think my words were too harsh.” Maeve couldn’t help but scoff, “Then, have you ever thought that words that are a hundred times harsher than that will hurt me too?”
After a few seconds of silence, Sergio said, “I’ll take care of it.”
“You don’t have to.” Marve turned around to leave
“Why didn’t you tell me that people were gossiping about you at school?”
Maeve paused. It was as if she’d heard a joke. “Why didn’t I tell you?”
Maeve’s tone upset Sergio. He frowned and said, “If you told me, I would’ve-
“Will you believe me if I told you that the person who started the rumor was Clara?” Maeve immediately interrupted Sergio’s sentence.
Sergio was stunned. He replied, “I already asked Clara. She said she didn’t do it.”
Maeve sneered, “Then, there’s no point in discussing this any further.”
Sergio already made it clear that he believed in Clara. When Maeve was about to walk k away, Sergio grabbed her arm and said sullenly, “Do you think I’m trying to protect Cla?“”
“You’d
I know if you are!”
“You don’t even know if I ordered someone to look into it. Why are you so sure that Clara was the one who started it?”
Sergio was extremely forceful. He wasn’t going to let Maeve leave at all.
“Maeve, are you sure you’re not just jealous of Clara? And that’s why you’re accusing her?”

“That’s right. Mr. Scott, hurry up and call her!”
Their discussions went on and on. Philip already stopped paying attention to them.
Maeve wasn’t answering his calls, and he couldn’t reach Sergio at all. Who knew what they were fighting over this time?
Sharon laughed. “In my opinion, there’s no way they’re getting divorced.
“Everyone in Seathbum City knows Ms. Scott loves Sergio. Even if Sergio happens to be cheating on her with some university student, she’ll just look the other way and feign ignorance to keep her position as his wife.”
Suddenly, the door to Scott Manor opened. Marve heard Sharon’s harsh words at the doorway. She finally understood that to Sharon, she was just Sergio’s loyal bitch.
“Ms. Scott is here!”
Sharon immediately straightened up when someone announced Maeve’s return. She acted like a sophisticated lady who did no wrong.
Philip looked at Maeve like she was his lifeline. He immediately ran to her.
“Mavy! Mavy, you’re finally back! Tell me, what’s the meaning of this?
“Did you fight with Sergio? Who on earth is that university student? Was Sergio mean to you?”
