Chapter 268
Hailey saw that and immediately rose to her feet. She roared, “How dare you act as you wish in Brooks Manor!”
Philip had always been a timid person, but he refused to give in on this matter. “My niece was married into your family. Now, she was hamned by the kidnappers because of your grandson. She’s still nowhere to be found until today! I can’t even act as I wish? Let me tell you. If something happens to Mavy, we will never let you go!”
“How dare you! You’re being unreasonable!”
Hailey was infuriated that she clutched her chest. She had always been well respected by others, and she had never been treated this way
before.
She immediately said to Allie, “Go! Get the security guards and chase these two out!”
“Phil, why did you lose your temper?”
Sharon wanted to tug at Philip, but he shook her hand off and said, “You’ll have to give me an explanation today!”
Hailey looked at Allie, who was stunned, and bellowed, “What are you waiting for? Get the security guards! Quick!”
“O–Okay, Mrs. Brooks Senior.”
Allie was about to head out but was stopped by Sergio. “Stop right there.”
With a frown, Sergio said, “Mr. Scott, it was my fault. I dragged Maeve into this. There’s nothing wrong if you want to scold or hit me.”
Philip felt his anger dissipate a little when he saw how sincere Sergio was.
Just then, Clara suddenly said, “Sergio, how could you say that? Maeve was targeted by the kidnappers because she was unfortunate! You’ve been searching for her all day and night these days. How could he hit you?”
Having been interupted by Clara, Sergio exclaimed furiously, “Shut up!”
Clara was frightened and tongue–tied in an instant.
Because of that, Philip noticed Clara. He sized her up for a while before he said, “Great! So you’re the college student who’s rumored to be Sergio’s sugar baby.
“I guess the rumor is true! Mavy has just gone missing, but Sergio can’t wait to bring you to Brooks Manor. You’ve made such a good plan!”
Philip said to Sharon, who was next to him. “Let’s go. From today onward, we’ll look for Mavy! The Brooks family is now the Scott family’s
enemy!”
Then, Philip left in a huff, frightening Sharon.
Considering Sergio’s status in Seathburn City, the Scott family was in no position to go against the Brooks family.
She apologized to everyone as she rushed out to follow Philip.
Hailey sneered and fumed, “Who does he think he is! How dare he act arrogantly in front of the Brooks family! Sergio, there’s no need to go easy on the Scotts anymore! They should know they’ll not end well if they offend us!”
Sergio’s mind was in a mess. He massaged his forehead and said, “Grandma, get some rest.”
With that, Sergio held his suit and left Brooks Manor while Larry followed behind closely.
“Mr. Brooks!”
Sergio stopped in his tracks and said to Larry, “Do anything we can to compensate the Scotts. If the collaboration’s between the Brooks family and the Scott family fail, the Scotts will surely suffer loss. Think of something to make up for that.”
“Mr. Brooks, Brooks Group is at risk too now. Many projects will be stopped if we lose the Scotts‘ connection and help.”
Larry had sensed something amiss. It felt as though everything was targeting Brooks Group. Many major projects had failed, causing Brooks Group to lose a lot of money in only a month.
Brooks Group had a solid base financially. If the same were to happen to any other company, they probably couldn’t make it through.
