Chapter 119
Levi’s tuning in throwing the question to her was perfect. Sergio’s attempt to bring her away in public today clearly showed his disregard for the Hackett family.
Obviously, Sheldon wouldn’t let Sergio leave so easily. Otherwise, rumors would spread the word that the Hackett family feared Sergio.
Levi backed her up to prove that the Hackett family wasn’t afraid of Sergio. However, if she truly chose not to leave with Sergio tonight, both the Brooks and the Hackett families would be at odds because of her.
Sergio’s reputation would be damaged, and as his wife, Maeve would find no refuge within the Brooks family. Even if the issue reached Hailey, she wouldn’t defend a daughter–in–law who disgraced the family. As for the Hackett family, they would gain an enemy while distancing themselves from Maeve who failed to read the situation.
Though Levi’s words seemed to be directed at her, Maeve saw only one option: to leave with Sergio. This decision was crucial for maintaining peace between both families and ensuring her future protection.
Maeve felt a chill down her spine. Levi was truly a terrifyingly complex person.
After a brief pause, Maeve replied, “Thank you, Mr. Hackett. It’s getting late now, so I’ll leave with Sergio first. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
Levi lowered his gaze for a moment before raising his hand. The bodyguards stepped aside, and Sergio’s grip on Maeve’s arm tightened as he turned to leave.
ay moments ago, Sergio’s people
Maeve then noticed that there Sergio had people waiting outside the Hackett Manor. Had she chosen to stay might have stormed into the ball without hesitation.
What would have happened then… Maeve dared not think further. These two figures who dominated Seathburn City were indeed indecipherable.
like this?”
“Levi! You’re just letting Sergio leave like this?” Sheldon asked.
“I’ve given her the choice,” Levi replied, his expression indifferent.
“Don’t think that I don’t know what would happen if she chose not to leave-
“The Hackett family will protect her in the future if she chooses not to leave. Even if it meant going against Sergio,” Levi said and left.
Sheldon was surprised by his brother’s unexpected response. He usually only cared for his own interests.
Maeve was roughly pulled into the car by Sergio. As she felt like her bones were about to be crushed, she frowned and looked dissatisfiedly at Sergio.
“Sergio! Are you out of your mind? You shouldn’t lose your temper even if Clara fainted!” Maeve said. Suddenly, Sergio slammed on the brakes, and Maeve almost hit the sun visor in front.
Sergio had never lost his composure like this. It seemed that Clara’s fainting had driven Sergio insane. Or perhaps it was because she had angered Sergio because of Levi just now.
“Maeve, I didn’t know you had such capabilities.”
Sergio suddenly strangled Marve’s delicate neck. Maeve saw the anger in his bloodshot eyes. Maeve forced herself not to cry out in pain, Sergio seemed to have lost control and continued to strangle her tightly.
“Sergio…!” Maeve’s breathing became increasingly difficult, and her hand hung weakly at her side.
