Chapter 168
Sergio hurried toward the stage, pushed through the crowd, and locked his eyes on the clown. Today, he was determined to expose this Zachary’s identity.
As Maeve watched Sergio’s imposing figure approaching in the crowd, her brows furrowed involuntarily. What was Sergio up to?
“Oh no. Could Sergio be planning to remove Mavy’s mask publicly?” Lyra’s expression turned grim.
They only wanted Sergio to see Zachary appearing at this masquerade ball, not for him to unmask Maeve!
Charlie’s heart also skipped a beat. “Damn! Wasn’t Sergio supposed to be mature and composed? Why is he acting so recklessly?”
Maeve’s heart pounded as Sergio drew nearer to her. But she couldn’t just leave abruptly at this moment. Suddenly, Maeve was enveloped by something. She looked up and saw a delicate jawline
“Let’s go.” Upon hearing Zion’s voice, Maeve inexplicably felt at ease, Maeve quietly hid among the crowd under the shelter of Zion’s cloak.
On the other side, Sergio lost sight of Maeve’s figure.
Larry hurriedly approached him. “Mr. Brooks, you can’t be so impulsive. It’s crowded here, and it won’t be good if you’re recognized. Let’s leave first.”
But Sergio was not willing to give up. He fixed his gaze on the end of the crowd. He had clearly seen. Zachary standing there just a moment ago, but the guy disappeared in the blink of an eye!
“Mr. Brooks, let’s go quickly!” Larry wanted to lead Sergio away as soon as possible, fearing that Zachary might appear again and make Sergio act impulsively.
Sergio reluctantly left the venue with Larry. As soon as they were outside, Sergio said, “Contact Maeve. I want to know where she is right now.”
“Yes, Mr. Brooks.”
Meanwhile, Zion escorted Maeve to a safe corner. Maeve looked up at Zion’s vampire costume. Even though she knew she shouldn’t be laughing in this situation, she couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Seeing Maeve’s expression, Zion smiled indulgently. “You’re laughing? You almost got caught earlier.”
“Well, you saved the day, didn’t you? Besides, even if Sergio had removed my mask, he might not have recognized me.” Maeve was quite confident in her preparation.

Zion reached out and adjusted strand of hair on Maeve’s forehead. Maeve was taken aback by his sudden action.
“Be more careful in the future.”

“Mavy! Mavy!” Lyra’s voice suddenly rang out not far away.
She ran over, holding up her Lolita skirt, and said, “Sheldon couldn’t find you, and he’s getting anxious, Hurry up and change your clothes. We’re leaving soon!”
“Okay.” Maeve figured that Sergio would send Larry to find her soon.
After giving Zion one last glance, Maeve quickly followed Lyra back to the dressing room.
Maeve walked out of the makeup room with Lyra after changing her clothes and removing her makeup. They ran into Sheldon, who had come to find Maeve.
“What are you guys doing here?” Sheldon frowned and asked. “I couldn’t find you after we entered. Where did you go?”

“I needed to use the restroom,” Maeve lied.
Sheldon couldn’t help but blush upon hearing her response.
He turned his head away and said, “Let’s go. There’s nothing fun here.”
“Okay! Let’s go. I also feel the same.” Maeve couldn’t wait to leave.
Sheldon led the two of them away. As they left, Lyra winked at Charlie, who followed suit and left the
dance floor.
