Chapter 471
The Brooks family had always demanded the family head to prioritize the interests of Brooks Group
Now that the Scott family is bankrupt, Maeve has lost her status as Mrs. Brooks. It was time for the family to seek a more suitable replacement.
But despite Maeve’s public request for a divorce months ago, Sergio had yet to agree. The upper echelons of the Brooks Group were fed up with his stubbornness, but their hands were tied.
As Sergio watched Maeve’s retreating figure, his expression turned solemn
Larry approached him and said, “Mr. Brooks, Mr. Carter is still waiting upstairs. Should we
“I need a thorough explanation of today’s events,” Sergio demanded once he had regained his composure.
The decision to publicly announce Clara as the future Mrs. Brooks had blindsided him. Tonight’s banquet had clearly been orchestrated to target Maeve
With his head bowed, Larry said, “Mr. Brooks, I was unaware of these developments”
“Did you miss it, or did you choose to ignore it?” Sergio’s gaze sharpened on Larry.
Larry had been a reliable associate for years, never failing to stay informed about the Brooks family affairs. Yet, this time, Hailey’s actions had caught him off guard.
She sent out Invitations, and half the business community showed up, unbeknownst to Larry. It just didn’t add up
After a moment of hesitation, Larry confessed, “Mr. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks Senior mobilized the senior executives of Brooks Group to pressure you.

Since taking over the Brooks family business, Sergio rarely encountered interference from Hailey.
But this time, she had invited most of their business partners under his name to publicly declare Clara as the future Mrs. Brooks,
The banquet had been a deliberate move to humiliate Maeve. Hailey wanted to embarrass Mare, so she organized such a grand banquet at Brooks Estate
Sergio rubbed his temples in frustration. “I’ve been too lenient lately. They’re forgetting who truly leads the Brooks family”
“Mr. Brooks! I know I was wrong, but I just wanted you to move on sooner. Mrs. Brooks has long been—”
Shut up!” Sergio cut him off with a cold stare.
“If it weren’t for your years of service, you’d be dismissed now.”
Larry kept his head down. Sergio continued sternly, “Those around me are here to serve me. If this happens again, you’re out of Brooks Group.”
“Mr. Brooks, I assure you it won’t happen again!”
Sergio tossed his phone to Larry. “Post the video online. I want everyone to know that Maeve was the victim tonight”
Larry was taken aback. “But if we do that, our relationship with the Ramoz Family..”
“Anyone who messes with my partier should expect the consequences.”
