Chapter 274
Sergio received the news and quickly went to the shore. The rescue team placed Maeve’s clothes in front of him and asked, “Sir, is this your wife’s clothes?”
Sergio was stunned when he saw the clothes, He had seen Maeve in that clothes. In the surveillance footage, she was wearing that on the day she got kidnapped.
“Yes”
“We’ve deduced that she’s dead, and we’ve stopped the search and rescue operation. I’m sorry for your loss.”
The rescue team had been searching at sea for such a long time, yet they hadn’t found Maeve’s body. Now that they had found her clothes, they could likely confirm their speculation.
Sergio questioned with a frown, “You haven’t found her body. How could you say she’s died?”
Sergio still wanted to continue, but Larry sensed that he was emotionally unstable, so he immediately stopped him. Then, Larry said to the rescue team, “Thank you for working hard these days. Mr. Brooks will prepare some gifts for you. Please get some rest”
After listening to Larry, they nodded and left.
Sergio shook Larry off and exclaimed, “Maeve’s body hasn’t been found yet. She’s not dead!”
“Mr. Brooks, please accept the reality.”
Everyone knew it was hopeless. Only Sergio believed Maeve was still alive. In fact, no one would still be alive after falling into the sea for so many days.
Looking at the vast sea, Sergio felt his eyes stinging
Maeve would never come back.
Sergio went back to Brooks Manor in the evening. Clara was considerate and wanted to help Sergio remove his suit, but he said coldly, touch me.”
“Don’t
Clara saw the resentment in Sergio’s eyes. Instead of walking up to him, she deliberately revealed, “Sergio, since Maeve’s gone, Mrs. Brooks Senior has decided to hold a funeral for her.”
“What did you say?
Serglo dashed into the living room and saw Hailey sitting on the couch while sipping tea calmly. She said, “Since you’re back, take a look at the guestlist and details. See if there’s anyone you like to invite or anything you wish to add ”
“Who agreed to hold a funeral for Maeve? Grandma, why didn’t you ask me about this?”
Sergio reacted aggressively, but Hailey was puzzled. “It isn’t even a big deal. I’ve set the date of the funeral. By then, you only need to attend the funeral to avoid gossip.”

Then, Hailey said to Clara, “Clara, send out the invitation according to the address. Allie will help you out.
“Okay, Mrs. Brooks Senior.”
Clara had gotten on Hailey’s good side in merely a few days.
In the past, Hailey had been disdainful of Clara.
But now, she was talking to Clara so affectionately.
Sergio felt a cold shiver at the sight of the scene.
He should’ve remembered the Brooks family members had always been coldhearted, and he had grown up in such an environment.
In the Brooks family, there wasn’t any bond between the family members. They would get along well with anyone even though it was someone they disliked, as long as that person would bring them benefits.
He thought he had learned that well after so many years.
