Chapter 333
Sergio didn’t want to argue with his grandmother who raised him, so he left the banquet without saying one word.
Hailey stood still she tried to comprehend Sergio’s words from earlier.
“What does that mean?”
Halley looked at Clara beside her and asked, “What did Sergio mean by that?”
“I have no idea…”
‘s expression turned grim. “It can’t be. It can’t be that the Scott family is now more powerful than us,” she muttered.
Clara’s e
The Brooks family was the dominant force in Seathburn City’s business circle, and everyone know that,
So how could the Scott family, who were already on the decline, suddenly surpass them?
Larry couldn’t contain himself and spoke up, “Mrs. Brooks Senior, you’ve disrupted Mr. Brooks‘ entire plan today!” He didn’t elaborate further and quickly went to find Sergio.
“Mes
irs. Brooks Senior, please don’t worry. This is all Ah!”
Before Clara could finish her sentence, Hailey slapped her.
Clara’s expression changed instantly. Hailey gave her a cold look and said, “It’s all your fault! You wretch, it’s all because you’ve seduced Sergio. Otherwise, how could the Brooks family have such a scandal?”
Clara didn’t dare to speak up, even in anger.
After all, she hadn’t married Sergio yet. She still needed Mrs. Brooks Senior to act as a matchmaker for her.
Clara bit her lip and said, “I know what happened between Sergio and me is disgraceful. But that night, Sergio forced me. Now, I’m carrying the child of the Brookes family in my belly.
“I can’t let the child be without a household registration and unable to enter the family in the future.”
Hailey valued lineage greatly. So upon hearing Clara’s words, she suppressed her anger and said, “If Marve had a child back then, you would still have any chance now?”
After her remark, Hailey turned to leave. She disregarded Clara as she walked away.
Though Clara felt resentful, she dared not disobey Hailey.
She immediately followed behind Hailey and said, “Please rest assured, Mrs. Brooks Senior. Once Sergio and Lare married, I will wholeheartedly support him in his work. After all, I am a graduate of Amenam University, and Sergio has helped me.

“I won’t forget his kindness, and I’ll take good care of you in the future. If you wish, I can even stay at home to tend to the household and children…”
Hailey simply looked down on women like Clara due to her background and paid no attention to her words.
Meanwhile, Maeve was still in the car. She watched Clara being deliberately left outside by Hailey, finding it amusing,
Halley remained unchanged. Even though she knew Clara was pregnant, Clara was nothing more than a lowly existence in her eyes. As long as Clara gave birth to that child, Hailey could even discard her at will.
Mrs. Brooks Senior was indeed skilled at making grand promises.
Bryce spoke up, “Did you never intend to cooperate with the Brooks family from the beginning?”
“Yeah” Maeve said, “If I cooperate with the Brooks family once, it would inevitably lead to a second time. It’s better to find a way to completely sever the Brooks family’s desire to work with us.”
“I can’t decide if you’re cunning or heartless, especially considering he was once your husband,” Bryce remarked.
Sergio and I were only married by name. He’s never sh

“Yes, Ms. Scott,” the driver replied.
