Chapter 297
Lyra couldn’t believe it. How could a man be this bad at explaining himself?
Lyra was turning. “Do you realize how misleading your words were? Any woman would misunderstand that!”
Charlie realized the gravity of the situation and quickly added, “You’d better find Ms. Scott right now. If you don’t make things clear with her, she might cut ties with you!”
Before Charlie had even finished speaking, Zion had already disappeared.
Watching Zion sprint away, Charlie couldn’t help but say, “What’s the point of having a mouth if he can’t use it properly?”
Meanwhile, Maeve had already gotten into her car.
Zayla asked, “Ms. Scott, would you like
e to head back to Scott Manor?”
“Yes,” Maeve replied.
As soon as Maeve finished speaking, her phone rang
Expecting it to be from Zion, she was about to hang up when she noticed that it was Sharon who was calling her.
Maeve answered the call, and before she could say anything, a panicked voice came through.
“Ms. Scott! Something terrible has happened!”
“Calm down, Aunt Sharon. What happened?”
“It’s your Uncle Phil! He’s been taken away by Sergio’s men!
“What?” Maeve frowned upon hearing that Sergio had taken Philip away,
“Yes, his men just barged in and took him away!” Sharon sobbed into the phone.
“Sergio left an address and said that if you don’t show up, he’ll kill Phil!”
“What’s the address?”
“It’s at the Royal Hotel, room 8023!”
Upon hearing this, Marve’s tense expression vanished, and her voice became cold. “Alright, I’ll head there right away.”
She hung up the phone.
Zayla overheard the conversation and quickly asked, “Ms. Scott, are we heading to Royal Hotel?”
“No, we’re going back to Scott Manor.”
“We’re heading back to Scott Manor? But Sergio…”
“If Sergio had really taken Uncle Phil, why would he want to meet me at a hotel? Wouldn’t it be more effective to threaten me once I got home? There’s something off about this.”
Sharon was known to be cunning. There was no doubt that she had ill intentions.
Maeve wasn’t naive enough to trust her. She had to return to Scott Manor and get to the bottom of things.
Before long, the car arrived at the entrance of Scott Manor.
“Once we send Maeve to Mr. Brooks, the divorce will eventually fall through!”
Maeve overheard the conversation between Sharon and James as she entered the house.
Sharon’s face was adorned with a smile, which was a stark contrast to her tearful voice on the phone moments ago.
Upon hearing footsteps, Sharon turned around and saw Maeve. Her smile instantly froze.
Maeve sneered. “That was quite a performance, Aunt Sharon.”
“Ms. Scott…” Sharon stammered. She didn’t expect Maeve to retum so soon, and her smile became awkward.
Ms. Scort, you… why are you…!
“Why am I here?” Maeve’s eyes turned cold. “I should be one asking you, Aunt Sharon. What are you trying to do?”
