Chapter 127
Philip asked a bunch of questions in one go. Maeve knew Philip was the only one here who sincerely cared about her.
She glanced at the others and said nonchalantly, “I’m going to divorce Sergio.”
Upon hearing Maeve’s words, Sharon’s smile faded away. She stood up from her chair and exclaimed, “What? Divorce?”
“Aunt Sharon, why are you so surprised?”
“H–How can you divorce him? It’s Sergio!” Sharon’s face was filled with disbelief.
Maeve used to be utterly infatuated with Sergio. She worked so hard just to marry him, so how could she possibly want a divorce in just a few months after their marriage?
After some thought, Philip asked, “Is that what Sergio wants?”
“No, it’s what I want.”
“Did you think it through?”
Maeve nodded. “I did.”
After hearing Maeve’s words, Philip finally made a decision and said, “Alright! Then, go ahead and divorce him!”
“You idiot! What do yo
do you mean go ahead?”
Sharon shoved Phili aside and yelled at Maeve, “Ms. Scott, do you have any idea how important your marriage was? If you divorce Sergio, what about us? Don’t you feel sorry for your uncle at all?”
Maeve stared at her coldly. For once, Philip grew a pair and pulled Sharon away. “Shut your mouth! You don’t have the right to speak here!”
“Philip, are you crazy? I’m doing this for you and the family’s sake!
“We’re talking about Sergio here! If she divorces him, what do you think will happen to us?”
Maeve remained silent. Sharon was right.
Sergio was the reason the Scott family could still live in luxury and fame. Her business marriage with Sergio was mutually beneficial and allowed Sharon to live in riches.
Philip shouted, “I believe we can still survive without Sergio! Besides, even if the Scott family falls to ruin, we have more than enough money to last you for several lifetimes! You should be grateful!”
“Why, you!” Sharon was furious.
James, who stayed quiet the entire time, immediately sided with Sharon when he saw Philip lash out at her.
“Dad! Mom’s right. Maeve is the daughter of the Scott family. After all we did to raise her, she should at least contribute to the family!” “Shut up!” Philip yelled at James.
No matter how upset he was, James didn’t have the guts to go against Philip now.
Philip looked at Maeve and said thoughtfully, “Mavy is the only daughter Patrick left behind. I promised him I’d take good care of her. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. The Scott family
y can survive without Sergio.”
Maeve remained silent. She knew Philip cared about her. Ever since she was a child, Philip always treated her like she was his biological daughter.
“Uncle Phil, trust me. I won’t let the Scott family fall to ruin.”
Sharon was livid, “Trust you? How are we supposed to trust you? Do you think getting into Amenam University is all you need to lead the family?”
“That’s right! Mr. Scott, please rethink your decisions. What are we supposed to do if Ms. Scott divorces Mr. Brooks?
“Ms. Scott, you can’t be so selfish! If you divorce Mr. Brooks, we’ll lose everything and starve”
The crowd clamored around them.
