Chapter 285
Sharon almost lost her composure when she saw Maeve’s beaming smile. “Maeve! Are you out of your mind? What benefit does divorcing Sergio at this critical moment bring to our family?
Sharon’s loud voice caught Philip’s attention from upstairs and he hurried down.
Upon seeing Marve, his face lit up with joy. “Mavy, I knew you’d be fine! Are you hurt?”
As Philip descended the stairs, Maeve’s smile became more genuine.
“Uncle Phil,” She called out to him.
Philip nodded, his eyes misting with tears. Once he assured Marve was safe, he couldn’t hold back his emotions.
“Sergio, that jerk! I’d entrusted you to him, and what does he do? He goes off and has an affair, and gets that woman pregnant! The moment you fall into the sea, he’s already welcoming her into his house!”
Maeve reassured him tenderly, “Don’t be upset, Uncle Phil Look, I’m not even angry.”
Upon seeing the situation, Sharon spoke hesitantly, “It’s. It’s normal for men to cheat. It’s just a fling, right? Ms. Scott is still Mr. Brook’s wife, and he treats her well too. There’s no need to divorce him right away…
Philip became furious upon hearing this. “What are you saying? Maeve has suffered so much, and you think she shouldn’t divorce him?”
“Phil, I’m just trying to do what’s best for the Scott family. What good does it do to us to anger the Brooks family?
Sharon’s gaze remained fixed on Marve. “Moreover, Ms. Scott is going to sell the Scott Group to the Mirage Group. She doesn’t care about the Scott family at all I don’t know what’s going through her mind, but isn’t she steering us straight toward disaster?”
“Shut up!” Philip felt annoyed when he heard Sharon’s nonsensical words.
Maeve glanced at Sharon and remarked, “Oh, Aunt Sharon, you re dissatisfied because I merged the Scott Group with the Mirage Group,”
Maeve remembered how, in her past life, the Scott family went almost bankrupt because of Sergio.
off
with all the assets.
When Sharon saw the family’s dwindling wealth, she immediately kicked Philip out of the family and ran
This time, Sharon’s dissatisfaction with Maeve divorcing Sergio likely arose from that concern. If the Scott Group merged with the Mirage Group, it would further upset Sergio, leaving the family penniless.
Sharon suggested, “Ms. Scott, perhaps it’s best to let James take the reins if you don’t feel confident in your business skills. After all, he studied finance and should be able to manage the Scott family effectively”
As Sharon became increasingly excited, Maeve interjected, “Aunt Sharon, did you forget that I’m a graduate student in finance at Amenam University?”
“Didn’t you buy your way in? Does that even count? James got into university on his own merits!”
Maeve remarked and pretended to show pity, “Considering he attended a mediocre university, I think it’s best to forget about him. Especially since one of Scott Group’s interns has a higher education level than him.”
Upon hearing Maeve belittling James, Sharon immediately narrowed her eyes. “Maeve! What do you mean by that? Do you look down on James?”
Maeve responded calmly, “Well, whether I think highly of him or not, now that Scott Group is merged with Mirage Group, we’re just shareholders. I can’t really call the shots at Scott Group anymore, so I can’t exactly hice people.”
Sharon’s tone was full of frustration. “You know, Ms. Scott, if it wasn’t for your randorn decision to sell the company to Mirage Group, we wouldn’t be stuck living like this. We also wouldn’t be worrying about what others think about us.”
Philip, who was holding back his anger said, “Have you said enough?”
Sharon remained silent after being scolded by Philip.
The maid from outside walked in and said, “Mr. Scott and Madam, we have guests.”
“Guests? Who are they?”
Philip looked up and saw Sergio entering with Larry.
Philip immediately stood up. “Who let him in? Get him out!”
Upon seeing Sergio, Sharon quickly interjected, “Phill, don’t get mad. He might not necessarily be here to see you, right?”
Sergio’s gaze fell on Maeve, but she didn’t even bother to look at him.
“I’m here to take Maeve back.” Sergio’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
Maeve set down her tea cup and spoke calinly, “Mr. Brooks, have you signed the divorce agreement? If you’ve done so, you can just pass it to
