Chapter 284
“Sergio! You can’t take me to the police station! I’m carrying your child! Are you really going to send the mother of your child to jail?” Clara shouted desperately, but Sergio showed no mercy.
“Gag her,” he commanded.
“Yes, Mr. Brooks!”
His men grabbed Clara and Belle, dragging them down to the basement.
“Mmph! Mmph!”
Clara screamed desperately, but it was to no avail.
“Clara! Clara! Save me! Help!” Belle grew even more terrified, but the next moment, her mouth was gagged too.
In the basement, Larry hesitated. “Mr. Brooks, if Mrs. Brooks Senior finds out about this…”

Sharon smiled awkwardly: “Of course not, Ms. Scott. I’m just thrilled that you’re back safely.”

“Of course,” Maeve responded firmly. “Alter Sergio’s affair and him getting his mistress pregnant, why wouldn’t I divorce him? Shouldn’t you be happy for me, Aunt Sharon?
