Chapter 474 
“I wouldn’t have been here if Maeve hadn’t asked me to check on you,” Sergio replied, 
Clara froze. Maeve? Why would Maeve be kind enough to send Sergio to see her? 
Maeve must have wanted Sergio to witness her humiliation! 
Clara hit her lip and said, “Sergio, I was forced! What mother would wingly give up on her own child’Conner made me do it! He wanted me to frame Marve, and I couldn’t disobey him!” 
Sergio watched her performance with cold detachment. Although her supposed kindness and fragility had once deceived him, he no longer harbored any sympathy for her after discovering her true colors.

Clara quickly changed her approach. “Sergio, 1 know I’ve been wrong before, but I’m begging you, please! Save me…If I Dail to frame Maeve this time, Conner will kill me for sure!” When Sergio heard Conner planned to frame Mary, his demeanor changed. “I came here to offer you a chance.”

“It he’s targeting Maeve, then I’ll target him.” 
“Sergio, this isn’t fair. I lost a child for you, and now you want to use me to avenge Maeve? Why?” clara clenched her teeth as tears of humation welled up in her eyes. 
“Because Maeve is the woman I love.” 
Sergio’s answer crushed Clara. She had convinced herself countess times that she held a place in Sergio’s heart. But once again, Sergio shattered her delusions.
