Cecilia had mustered the courage to speak those words, but Sergio’s brief remark turned her into a laughingstock. Tears welled up in her eyes. instantly.
Hailey yelled furiously, “Maeve, what kind of spell did you cast on Sergio to make him say such things?”
“Grandma, this has nothing to do with Maeve.” Sergio’s intense gaze forced Maeve to avert her eyes.
A nearby officer spoke up, “According to Mr. Brooks‘ testimony, it was Maeve’s relatives, James Scott and Sharon Quill, who kidnapped her.”
“Very well. Arrest them immediately!” Richard commanded.
“Yes, Mr. Carter.” Several officers moved out together while Sergio remained resolute. He was uninterested in defending himself.
Hailey gritted her teeth. “Sergio, will you tarnish the Brooks family’s reputation for a woman?”

“Behind us, though, you scheme with your own family to throw yourself at Sergio! It’s clear you never wanted a divorce–you’re just a gold digger! You just want to leech off the Brooks family for benefits!”
Maeve frowned and was about to speak when Zion grabbed her wrist. Pulling her into his arms, Zion declared, “Maeve is mine. Whoever insults her insults me.”
She looked at his profile. He usually had a carefree and indifferent demeanor. However, Zion was serious earlier.
Richard caught Zion’s meaning and swiftly ordered the two officers beside him, “Get these troublemakers out of here!”
As the two officers were about to step forward, Cecilia panicked. “Sergio, aren’t you going to say something? Are you going to just watch Mrs. Brooks Senior being taken away? She came for you!”
Sergio had fixed his gaze on Maeve and Zion all along.
Finally, he stepped forward to stand before Hailey, saying, “Mr. Carter, how dare you lay hands on the Brooks family?”
