Chapter 267
Cecilia’s face paled, and she couldn’t utter a word.
After Sergio and Larry left, without showing any compassion, Hailey went back to her room.
Clara walked up to Cecilia and arched an eyebrow. “Before you leave, please tidy up my room for me. I think… I’ll stay in your
Cecilia glared at Clara, her eyes full of resentment.
Seeing her reaction, Clara smiled smugly. “I’m pregnant with Sergio’s child. Someone can never get on his bed although she wears a white dress. How useless!”
Cecilia gritted her teeth as she trembled.
Clara walked further into the house. “Let’s see where your room is.”
Cecilia was the Hoffman family’s daughter. When Hailey took her in, she stayed in the nicest and biggest guest room. Nonetheless, her room was nothing compared to Maeve’s.
Clara had seen Maeve’s bedroom. At that time, she had made up her mind that she would stay in that room one day.
Clara looked down and stared at her abdomen. “Baby, it all depends on you whether or not I can be the lady of the Brooks family.”
Sergio came home in the evening. He couldn’t help frowning when he saw the house with a brand–new look.
Allie had been summoned back by Hailey. She finally felt at ease when she saw Sergio. “Mr. Brooks, you’re finally home…
Allie looked at the decoration of the surroundings. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
Sergio wore a deep frown. All the decorations in the house had been changed, and even the furniture was new.
Clara was tapping Hailey’s back next to the couch when Sergio entered and asked, “Who changed the decorations at home?”
Brooks Manor was his and Maeve’s house after they got married. Everything was set up according to Maeve’s preferences.
Clara tapped on Hailey’s back, and the latter said nonchalantly, “She’s dead. What’s the point of keeping those things? Clara is afraid you can’t move on if you keep seeing them. She’s just being considerate.”
“It was you?”
Sergio looked at Clara..
Looking slightly aggrieved, Clara replied, “Sergio, Maeve is gone. You should move on.”
Sergio narrowed his eyes, and he looked intimidating. “You have three hours. Put everything in the house back to its original state! If not, don’t blame me for being cruel!”
Clara bit her lips and gave Hailey a slightly troubled look.
Hailey frowned and said, “Sergio, Clara is pregnant with your baby. You’d better not get mad so easily. It’s just a few pieces of furniture. Just let it be. I won’t allow you to make things difficult for Clara. It’ll be a big deal if she feels sad and harms the baby.”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.
“Sergio Brooks! Open the door!”
Philip kept knocking on the door. Even Sharon, who was outside with him, couldn’t stop him. “Phil, mind your manners! Take it easy!”
“Go away!”
Philip had been waiting at home for four days, yet he received no news about Maeve.
When Allie opened the door, Philip immediately dashed in angrily.
After Philip saw the decorations in Brooks Manor and Clara, who was standing next to Hailey, his face darkened. “Sergio, I married Mavy off to you. What have you done? She has just gone missing, but you can’t wait to bring another woman home! Are you even a man?”
Philip was so enraged that his face was flushed red.
Sergio had always been domineering, but he remained silent at this moment and let Philip vent his anger.
Seeking that Sergio didn’t say a word, Philip grew more furious and slapped him.
