Chapter 332
Suddenly, the sound of a wine glass shattering sounded.
The executive of the Scott family glared at Hailey and said, “I think your Brooks family is going too far! Sergio committed adultery within marriage by keeping a college student, and now she’s pregnant.
“Yet, the marriage isn’t even over, and you bring the mistress to the joint banquet of the Brooks and Scott families, What exactly is the meaning of this?”
“Exactly! We haven’t even finished investigating the incident where Ms. Scott fell into the sea. Who knows if your Brooks family did it just to welcome the mistress?”
“If it weren’t for Ms. Scott, do you think we’d be willing to cooperate with your Brooks family?”
“You intentionally hosted such a banquet to humiliate us. Is your Brooks family this bullying?”
The surrounding shouts grew louder.
Maeve calmly observed the spectacle.
In her view, if this incident didn’t escalate, it would truly be a waste of her efforts.
Sergio’s gaze fell on Maeve, and he immediately understood that all of this was orchestrated by her
Larry struggled to maintain composure. He knew Sergio wanted to use this banquet to improve relations with Maeve and portray a picture of marital harmony to the media.
But he never expected Hailey to suddenly bring Clara. This completely disrupted Sergio’s plan. It further exacerbated the conflict with the Scott family and led to chaos.
Hailey’s expression became even uglier. She didn’t expect her words to provoke such anger. No one had dared to speak to her like this before. She panicked for a moment.
Maeve saw that the situation had reached its peak. She rose slowly from her chair and walked to the center of the hall. Facing the crowd, she said, “It seems there’s nothing left worth attending at this banquet.”
The executives of the Scott family stood behind Maeve, seemingly backing her up.
Sergio finally realized what was going on. Somewhere along the line, Maeve had gained control of the entire Scott family.
She wasn’t the woman who merely followed him anymore.
With a faint smile, Maeve continued, “Since the Brooks family shows no sincerity, there’s no need for this collaboration. Sergio, let’s expedite the divorce proceedings. Otherwise, it might be tricky to register your child.”
Maeve’s words carried implications.
Sergio pursed his lips, his gaze fixed on Maeve as if hopin
as if hoping to see a hint of affection on her face.
Maeve waved her hand, signaling to the people behind her. “Let’s go.”
The Scott family executives all followed Maeve. For a moment, almost half of the banquet hall emptied.
Bryce was the last to leave. He gave Sergio a look tilled with mockery, disdain, and jest.
Sergio’s expression turned completely grim
Hailey exclaimed angrily, “These barbarians from the Scott family! Sergio, you shouldn’t sympathize with them or collaborate with them They not only fail to appreciate it but also dare to back out.
“In my opinion, you should end this collaboration, and you’d better divorce Maeve, sooner rather than later!”
“Grandma, don’t you understand yet?”
“What?”
Sergio looked at Hailey and said, “In this collaboration, Maeve is the one who’s showing mercy to me” Hadey was momentarily stunned
