Chapter 439
Maeve glanced at Cathy and said, “You’ve got skills, I’ll give you that. But choosing to betray your teammate?
“That’s a moral line I can’t cross. I don’t need someone like that. And as for what I’m capable of, well, some things are better left unknown”
“I suggest you stay away from Mason. His mother isn’t someone you want to mess with,” Cathy replied before leaving with her suitcase.
Mason’s mother. If Mason was indeed illegitimate, she must have been Timothy Jefferson’s mistress from back then.
Maeve pondered for a moment, and a plan took shape in her mind.
At Brooks Manor, Cecilia was massaging Halley’s shoulders. “Mrs. Brooks Senior, Sergio hasn’t been home for days. Shouldn’t you call to check on him?”
“Sergio’s becoming more rebellious,” Hailey replied as she gently moved Cecilia’s hands away.
“He’s completely fixated on Maeve now. You need to find a way to change that. If you can get Sergio into your bed, he’ll have no choice but to acknowledge you as part of the family.
“But, that’s not something I can control. Sergio, he collabit her lip.
She was still in college, young, sweet–looking, and with a likable personality. Unfortunately, Sergio had always treated her coldly like a stranger.
Hailey sneered, “Men are all the same. Find the right approach, and he’ll notice you.”
“Mrs. Brooks Senior, what should I do?” Cecilia asked nervously.
“I’ll teach you the tricks. Get pregnant with Sergio’s child, and you’ll secure your place in the Brooks family,” Hailey whispered conspiratorially.
Then, Halley whispered a few words into Cecilia’s ear.
Cecilia blushed but nodded determinedly. “Thank you, Mrs. Brooks Senior. I’ll find a way to get closer to Sergio, I promise.”
With that, Cecilla left Brooks Manor.
In the living room, Allie asked curiously, “Mrs. Brooks Senior, do you really intend to allow Ms. Hoffman to marry into the Brooks family?
Hailey scoffed, “With her background? Allowing her to marry into our family would be a joke.”
“So what are your plans, Mrs. Brooks Senior?”
“Her intentions aren’t pure, but she’s obedient enough to pass. Sergio is fixated on Maeve right now.
“Having Cecilia around will at least distract him. Once Sergio loses interest in Maeve and agrees to the divorce, he can marry anyone,” Hailey said indifferently.
“Find me some suitable women in the next few days. They don’t need to come from prestigious families, but they must have an educated background that matches Sergio’s status.
“Mrs. Brooks Senior, since Mr. Brooks has feelings for Mrs. Brooks, wouldn’t it be better to ”
“What do you know?” Hailey interrupted, frowning. “The Scott family has already gone bankrupt! Now Maeve is working as a lowly actress at the Hackett Group
“She has repeatedly defied me and opposed the Brooks family. She has brought nothing but shame upon us. We cannot have a Mrs. Brooks like her!”
“Yes, Mrs. Brooks Senior,” Allle said. As she prepared to leave, the doorbell rang,
Hailey frowned. “Open the door and see who it is.”
“Yes,” Alle answered.
Upon opening the door, she was surprised to see Clara, who was dressed in designer clothes
Without hesitation, Clara nished in and kneeled at Haley’s feet.
“Mrs. Brooks Senior!” she cried.
