Chapter 157
With that, Sheldon ended the call, Maeve was taken aback. She stared at the disconnected phone, feeling, a sense of unease.
“What’s wrong? Who was it?” Lying on the bed and playing with her phone, Lyra noticed Maeve getting up and followed suit. “What’s going on? Are you going out?”
“I’m going to the Seasons Hotel.”
“You’re going to Sergio’s banquet?” Lyra looked puzzled. “Weren’t you just reluctant to go?”
Maeve frowned. “Sheldon said he wants to teach Sergio a lesson. I’m afraid he might cause trouble.”
She heard that Levi had been sick recently, and he should have attended today’s banquet. Without Levi to keep an eye on Sheldon, she feared that Sheldon might beat up Sergio.
“That brat! Is his head filled with paste? How old is he? Why is he still getting into fights like a child?”
Lyra put down her snacks, grabbed her purse, and pulled Maeve out of the apartment. Lyra drove recklessly, and two security guards stopped them when they arrived outside the Seasons Hotel.
“Please show your invitation.”
Lyra angrily retorted, “Are you blind? Don’t you even recognize Mrs. Brooks?”
The security guard glanced at Maeve and said doubtfully, “Mrs. Brooks? Didn’t Mrs. Brooks enter a while
ago?”
Maeve frowned. She knew that the security guard was referring to Clara. For the past three months,
Sergio’s affection for Clara seemed to have led everyone to assume that she was Sergio’s wife.
In a way, it was better this way as it prevented her from being mistaken for Mrs. Brooks even after the
divorce.
Lyra took out her business card. “Look closely. Who am I?”
Seeing the name “Lyra” on the card, the security guard paled and quickly let them through.
Lyra quickly pulled Maeve inside. As soon as they entered the lobby, they saw that everyone on the first floor seemed to be watching a commotion playing out on the second floor. In other words, something was happening on the second floor
Maeve scanned the crowd but didn’t see Sheldon or Sergio.
“Oh no!”
With a bad feeling in her stomach, Maeve pulled Lyra up to the second floor. However, they were blocked by Sergio’s men as soon as they reached the second floor. Seeing Maeve, the bodyguards stopped her
from entering.
“Stop right there! Mr. Brooks ordered that no one be allowed to enter here. Please head back downstairs.”

Maeve’s gaze was sharp, and her tone turned cold. “What’s this? Have Sergio and I divorced already? Has the Brooks family already found a new young lady?”
The two bodyguards exchanged glances, seeming somewhat hesitant.
Larry hurried over and reprimanded the bodyguards. “Are you both blind? You dare to stop Mrs. Brooks?”
The bodyguards stepped back, and Larry stepped forward, his face showing a hint of joy. “Madam, you’ve finally arrived.”
Maeve furrowed her brows. “What happened inside?”
Larry hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s Mr. Hackett. He barged into Ms. Stewart’s room.”
