Clara and I were a mistake from the beginning. Maeve, I could “That’s enough,” Maeve’s voice was cold as she interrupted him.
“I’m not interested in whatever happened between the both of you. You don’t need to confess anything to me. After all, we’ve already discussed everything. You and I are in a business marriage. You’re free to have as many women as you please, I don’t care.”
Upon hearing this, Sergio choked on the words he had intended to say.
Maeve had never cared from the start.
Sensing the tension between Sergio and Maeve, Sharon hurriedly stepped forward, nudging Maeve gently.
“Ms. Scott, aren’t you being unreasonable right now? Mr. Brooks has already ended things with the other woman. Why are you still upset? Listen to me, just go back with Mr. Brooks, and don’t make him angry.”

by Maeve’s side.
The Scott family had strict rules. Sharon, as a remarried wife with a lower status, could only stand silently by

Marve stood up, intending to retreat upstairs and end the confrontation with Sergio.
However, Sergio reached out and grabbed her arm, his eyes pleading. “Don’t go, Maeve.” Philip, upon witnessing the exchange, furned “Sergio! Do you really think the Scott family is powerless?” Maeve glanced down at Sergio’s grip on her arm and chuckled. “What’s this? Mr. Brook Manor?”

Sergio fell silent before replying, “Don’t force me to.”
“Mr. Brooks, you’ve got some serious power, but it’s quite bold of you to assert dominance in the Scott family.” “You should be aware that I can shake things up in the Scott family,” Sergio said, squeezing Maeve’s tighter. “If you still make sure you leave with some dignity
