Chapter 290
“Then, I’ll do whatever it takes! I only want Maeve!” Sergio’s expression turned grim.
“LE Zion is going to support Marve, then I’ll face off against the Spencer family, I’ll do whatever it takes
Maeve belonged only to him. He wouldn’t allow anyone to have her, especially not Zion!
The members of the Scott family and Zion’s men quickly retreated.
Sharon, who was drenched in sweat from fear, patted her chest and exclaimed, “That was terrifying. How could they be so brash?
“Ms. Scott, Ithink you should have a talk with Sergio. What are we going to do if he refuses to give up on having you?”
“Don’t worry about it, Aunt Sharon Maeve’s expression remained indifferent as she reached out to pull Zion. “Come with me.”
Zion obediently followed behind Maeve like a loyal dog.
Upon seeing this, Philip pondered. “Zion, are you and Maeve dating?”
“Phill, are you out of your mind?” Sharon interjected.
“Do you know who Zion is? How could be possibly be interested in Ms. Scott? She’s a divorcee!”
“What’s wrong with being a divorcee? Aren’t the both of us remarried?
“How’s that the same?”
Sharon and Philip started arguing downstairs.
Meanwhile, Maeve pulled Zion into the room upstairs. She shut the door and asked, “Why did you come here?”
If she remembered correctly, she hadn’t told Zion to come along when she returned to the Scott Manor today.
“You leaked the information about Clara to Sergio on purpose, did you?”
It was a rather ordinary tactic, but the way Zion brought it up seemed to carry a hint of jealousy
Me didn’t evade the topic. After all, the facts were clear
Since she had already investigated the information early on, she had to put it to good use eventually.
The sooner Sergio Imew about it, the sooner Clara would end up in jail.
Zion murmured, “Knowing Sergio, he’d handle Clara’s situation first once he learned about the truth. Then, he’ll come looking for you.”
“So, you brought your men?” Maeve furrowed her brow, asking “Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”
Zion pondered for a moment before replying, “Charlie said that swooping in to rescue a damsel in distress would make a more impressive

The room was dimly lit, casting shadows across their faces as he pushed her gently against the wall, his tone carrying a hint of bitterness.
“Who did you say you’ll end up with in the future?”
Maeve’s eyes darted away briefly. “I don’t remember mentioning anyone.”
“Whoever it is, if it’s not me, treat them like villains.”
“You’re being unreasonable!”
“I never claimed to lie a good person either. ”
Zion’s eyes twinkded in amusement. “Well, it’s because I’ve decided you’re my future wife.
Maeve pushed Zion away. “Dream no!“.
As Marve opened the door, she spotted Philip standing outside.
for a second? There’s
He seemed slightly awkward but tried to maintain his composure as he addressed her, “Mavy, could you come out for a second: something I need to discuss with you.”
“Alright, Uncle Phill“.
Following Philip out, Maeve couldn’t help but notice his subtle glance at Zion, who was still inside
He asked in a hushed tone, “Maeve, can you be honest with me? This is about you and Zion…” Maeve interjected, “Uncle Phil, we’re not what you think we are.”
