Chapter 111
“Mr. Brooks, it’s Madam,” Levi whispered in Sergio’s ear.
Sergio frowned. He wasn’t blind; he saw Maeve the moment she entered. At the same time, he also noticed Zion following behind Maeve. Their presence together stirred a sense of discomfort in him.
Maeve and Lyra walked arm in arm, chatting and laughing. By then, Maeve caught sight of Clara and her companions from the corner of her eye, and a mischievous smile played on her lips.
Sheldon had been waiting in the hall for quite some time. His eyes lit up as he spotted Maeve approaching, setting down his glass of red wine before hastening toward her.
“What took you so long?” Sheldon’s tone carried a hint of impatience, but more so, it was filled with joy.
Maeve said, “Let me introduce you, this is my good friend, Lyra.”
Sheldon’s expression changed slightly upon seeing Lyra Lyra, on the other hand, seemed intrigued as she remarked, “The little boy from the Hacketts family has grown up.
Lyra made a motion to pull Sheldon’s ear as she spoke, but he swiftly blocked her hand and said, “Lyra, I’ve grown up! I’m not a kid anymore!”
Maeve didn’t expect these two to know each other.
Lyra said to Maeve, “Back when we were younger, the Hacketts had some business dealings with the Spencers. I was the oldest back then, and Charlie tagged along as my little sidekick.
“Sheldon was younger than both of us. He used to get a few beatings from us every day before he would behave!”
Sheldon wished he could cover Lyra’s mouth. His face was flushed with embarrassment as he shouted, “Lyra! Stop talking nonsense!”
But Lyra paid no heed. While Maeve enjoyed the conversation, Sergio felt increasingly frustrated as he observed the scene.
Levi couldn’t resist asking, “Mr. Brooks, aren’t you going over there?”
After all, Maeve was still Sergio’s wife on the surface. It would seem inappropriate If he hadn’t gone over. Sergio responded in a deep voice,” Let’s go over to take a look.”
Meanwhile, Jenny and Tiffany kept a close eye on the situation around Marve. They quickly sensed something was amiss as they witnessed notable figures gathering around her, with even Sheldon himself personally greeting her.
y influential people surrounding her?”
Tiffany frowned and said, “Wasn’t this woman rumored to be an escort? Why are so many in
“Yeah, one of the men seems to have chauffeured her in a luxury car before, and the woman who’s talking to Mr. Hackett also appears to be an elite. Even our school lecturer, Mr. Foster, is here.”
“Elite? I bet that woman is just some socialite here to seduce men.” Despite her words, Jenny still eyed Clara skeptically and asked, “But why would Mr. Hackett be so fond of two socialites? He even personally welcomed them.”
Clara hesitated before responding, “I’ve told you, it’s probably just a rumor.”
“A rumor?”
Jenny had never doubted Clara’s words before, but her tone now held a hint of suspicion. After all, Clara had originally claimed that Maeve was an admirer of her boyfriend who tried to intrude on their relationship as a mistress. Her sudden shift in stance seemed suspicious.
“Clara, isn’t that your boyfriend?” Tiffany hinted as they all saw Sergio walking toward Maeve. Clara’s face turned pale, and her lips trembled as she replied, “I–I’m feeling a bit unwell… I should go.”
