Chapter 416
Sergio’s expression darkened as he spoke in a cold tone, “Grandma, it’s time for you to leave”
“What? Sergio, are you seriously going to lecture your own grandmother now?”
“Larry, escort her out! Sergio commanded.
With Sergio’s firm tone leaving no room for argument, Larry nervously approached Halley. “Mrs. Brooks Senior, please”
“Get lost!” Hailey snapped. She brushed off Larry’s hand and stepped forward to confront Marve with a cold smile.
“Marve, I know the Scott family is bankrupt, and you’re desperate for money now. But you and Sergio are already in the process of divorcing
“Let’s settle this here and now. As long as I’m breathing, you’ll never set foot in the Brooks family again! And don’t even think about getting a penny when it comes to marital
“Grandma” Sergio’s temples bulged with veins as he was clearly enraged
Larry quickly intervened, “Mrs. Brooks Senior, please return before you further upset Mr. Brooks!”
Before Larry could act, Maeve interjected icily, “Alright, let’s get this straight. Have your precious grandson sign the divorce papers, and we can be done. I’ve sent over a dozen copies, but unfortunately, Mr. Brooks shredded every single one.
“I don’t get why he’s dragging his feet. Well, maybe he enjoys the suffering. Even though I’ve made myself clear, he still refuses to divorce me.”
Maeve’s words stabbed at Hailey, who cherished the Brooks family’s reputation.
Quickly, she retorted, “Are you suggesting Sergio doesn’t want to divorce you? That’s ridiculous. The Scott family is bankrupt, and you remain so arrogant.
“Well, I heard you’ve even taken up a trainee position at Hackett Group to pay off your debts. Pin! A scion from the prestigious Scott family stooping to such a lowly role—it’s quite shocking!”
Hailey’s mocking remarks infuriated Sergio completely. He shouted, “Larry” Are you just going to stand there? Get her out of here!”
Sergio showed no mercy in front of everyone. Cecilia beside him interjected, “Sergio, Mrs. Brooks Senior did this for your sake. You shouldn’t-”
“You have no say here! Sergio cut her off.
He didn’t spare Cecilia esther. He immediately made a call and said coldly into the phone, “Have your people escort Grandma and Cecilia out”
Within seconds, security guards approached and surrounded Hailey and Cecili
The manager stepped forward and advised, “Mrs. Brooks Senior, please don’t make things difficultior us. It’s best if you leave.”
Hailey frowned. “What? If I refuse to leave, are you going to use force?”
“We won’t use force, but we might have to carry you out, and that won’t be dignified for anyone.”
“Mrs. Brooks Senior Cecilia whispered as she tugged at Halley’s sleeve.
Hailey took a deep breath upon sensing Sergio’s fury. With a snort, she turned to leave with Cecilia
Watching the scene unfold, Maeve felt like the protagonist in a farcical drama.
“Mavy, 1—”
“It’s fine. You don’t have to say anything more. I know this isn’t what you intended. Mave turned to look at Sergio
After abel silence, she added, “But you’ve fulfilled a dream of mine.”
Marve kept her head lowered as she spoke calmly, “once dreamed that you were always distant and never there for my birthdays. But today. I still want to thank you
