She had braced herself for the worst–case scenario; at worst, Sergio would reveal her studies at Amenam University. She didn’t care. She could just divorce Sergio ahead of time.
“I just don’t understand, what’s so good about a female university student? Mavy is prettier and more talented than her. Are you blind? How did I raise such a grandson!” Hailey shouted.
“It’s my fault, Grandma. Clara isn’t to blame. Please don’t involve her in this,” Sergio defended.
“You!” Hailey stood up from the sofa, and said angrily, “I didn’t want to interfere too much in your affairs, but with your current attitude… Don’t blame me for being heartless!”
She turned to Larry and ordered angrily, “Go contact Amenam University immediately. Tell them to expel that girl named Clara. If Sergio dares to have any further contact with that girl, I’ll make sure that she can’t survive in Seathburn City even if I have to use all my connections!”
Maeve watched coldly. Hailey indeed had such capabilities in the past, after all, she was Peyton Brooks’s first wife. However… Hailey was no longer young, and the Seathburn today was fully dominated by Sergio.
He was no longer the obedient Sergio from his childhood, Sure enough, he stood up.
Hailey watched in disbelief while Sergio said, “Grandma, I’ve listened to you enough over the years. Clara is someone I’ve nurtured. I have no choice but to oppose you If you really want to harm her.”
“You! Yo
You!” Halley clutched her chest as she was deeply provoked.
“Larry, send Grandma back to rest. Her health is not good. Make sure she doesn’t go out during this period,” Sergio ordered.
“Yes, Mr. Brooks,” Larry replied after a pause.
Allie was startled, but she could only support Hailey’s arms with the fear she might faint from anger.
Maeve hadn’t anticipated this turn of events as Hailey was escorted out of the Brooks Manor. For the sake of Clara, Sergio dared to stand up to Hailey and put Hailey in this situation.
“Is there anything else I need to do here? If not, I’ll leave,” Maeve said, not wanting to say much more to Sergio,
As she turned to leave to go handle the Scott farmily’s mess, Sergio suddenly spoke up, “Did the Scott family call you?”
“It’s hard to keep them in the dark when there’s such a big scandal about you being a female student’s sugar daddy,” Maeve answered. Sergio frowned. “Maeve, do you always have to speak so harshly?“
