Chapter 478
“you.. The only reason I agreed to your marriage with her is because she’s carrying the Brooks family child! Do you think I’d accept someone like her into our family otherwise?” Hailey’s tone turned icy as she spoke.
“Sergio, as the head of the Brooks family, how could you make such a foolish mistake? You need to hold a press conference immediately! That woman must never become a part of the Brooks family!
“Grandma, you’ve always wanted me to divorce Marve, and I’m willing to do that now. You wanted me to marry Clara, and I agreed. What more do you want from me?”
“At least Maeve didn’t harm my great–grandchild! But Clara, that woman is capable of harming her own child! Not sending her to prison is already showing mercy, let alone baling her out!
“Sergio, how can you be so blind? I’ve raised you all these years. Why won’t you listen to me?”
Hailey was heartbroken, but Sergio remained calm and watched her without a word.
Alle stepped forward and said, “Mr. Brooks, you know Ms. Stewart’s true character. Now she’s even harmed her own child… How could you..
Sergio replied indifferently, “I’ve made my decision. I’ll take responsibility for Clara. I will make her Mrs. Brooks, be engaged to her, and take care of her for the rest of my life”
Hailey was so furious that she nearly fainted. She collapsed backward just as Alle darted forward to support her.
You ungrateful child! After everything we’ve done for you, this is how you repay us?” Halley cursed, but Sergio ignored her and went upstairs.
Meanwhile, Conner’s face fell when he saw the news on TV. The next second, he kicked over a table and gritted his teeth. “What’s going on?”
Bailey, who stood beside him, quickly lowered his head. “Mr. Jefferson, we we’re not sure about this ”
“Last night, I told you to keep watch outside the hospital ward What were you doing? Didn’t you hear their conversation?”
Sergio had loved Maeve deeply. How could he have possibly wanted to divorce her for Clara and even marry Clara? Something was definitelyoffi
“Go investigate now! Find out if this is true,” Conner demanded.
Conner’s eyes blazed with fury.
He had gone to great lengths to come to Seathburn City, marry Clara to take over the Ramoz family, and bring the Jefferson family business there, only for Sergio to ruin everything
Why would Sergio be willing to marry Clara? Sergio wasn’t willing to be with Clara even when she was pregnant. Yet now, he suddenly changed his mind.
Could it have been for Maeve’s sake?
How could the rumored overlord of Seathburn City have been willing to sacrificehis own marriage and give up on the one he loved? Was he mad?
Conner’s phone interrupted his thoughts. The screen showed an unfamiliar number.
Conner answered, and Sergio’s low voice came through the line. “Mr. Jefferson, you’re more than welcome to challenge my position.”
“Sergio?”
“Remember, Seathburn City is my territory. You have no right to touch it. With that, Sergio hung up.
Conner seethed with cage and hurled his phone to the ground. With a grim expression, he muttered, “Sergio.. how could you do this? How dare you!”
“Mr. Jefferson..
Conner grabbed Bailey by the collar and shouted, “Contact Clara! Tell her to come meet me immediately!”
“M–Mr. Jefferson, Ms. Stewart’s phone has been unreachable since this morning”
“Unreachable Conner laughed. “Finel Then let’s tell Mr. Ramoz that Clara is not the real Nathalie!”
