Chapter 480
Seeing Commer upset, Bailey quickly complied. “Yes, Mr. Jefferson.”
Meanwhile, Charlie had ordered a spread of takeout at Maeve’s apartment. He sat with Maeve and Lyra at the table in silence.
Lyra couldn’t help but glance at Maeve, who was quietly eating and scrolling through the day’s financial news. She was seemingly unconcerned about Sergio and Clara’s situation.
“Where’s Zee? When is he coming back?” Lyra asked.
“He should have been back by now.”
Charlie was puzzled as well. “I told Zion about Marve’s situation ages ago. He should be rushing back. But who knows what on earth he’s doing right now? This is serious. Let me call him again.”
Charlie pulled out his phone and dialed Zion’s number, but the call couldn’t go through.

Meanwhile, Sergio got into his car after having dinner at Ramos Manor.
Larry said, “Zion has already reserved a place.”
“Let’s go then,” Sergio replied.

One of his men gestured for Sergio to sit.
Sergio said, “This is my territory. I should be the one hosting you today.”
ign this divorce
It was yours until yesterday. But from now on, it’s mine, Zion said coldly. “Let’s not beat around the bush. Since you’ve made your choice, you should sign #greement today.”
Zion pushed the divorce agreement toward Sergio. Maeve had already signed them.
Seeing her signature, Sergio instinctively looked away. “What if I refuse to sign?” he asked.
*1 have my own ways, Mr. Brooks. If you refuse to sign, I’m afraid I’ll have to resort to violence.” Zion’s tone carried no threat, yet his smile held a hint of poison, enough to send shivers down one’s spine at its sight.
