Chapter 440
When Hailey laid eyes on the figurebefore her, her expression darkened. She immediately shoved Clara away and yelled, “You slut! How dare you show your face here again!”
Clara stumbled and fell to the ground. She had chosen a form–fitting dress that day, purposefully accentuating her slightly protruding belly.
And it turned out that Hailey’s expression did soften slightly when she noticed Clara’s belly,
However, her tone remained stern. “I treated you well and provided you with a safe haven to care for yourself and Sergio’s child. Yet, you chose to run off with another man. You’ve humiliated me!”
“Mrs. Brooks Senior, I know I’ve made a mistake, but I was forced into a comer!” Clara pleaded from her knees.
With genuine remorse in her eyes, she continued, “I love Sergio, you know that. The Jeffersons forced me that day–they claimed to know where my father was and threatened
“I didn’t want to leave with them, but they forced me. I had no choice.”
Clara sobbed pitifully. Seeing her like this, Hailey frowned and asked, “Are you telling the truth?”
Clara looked up with tear–stained cheeks and a pained expression. “Mrs. Brooks Senior, I admit my wrongdoing. But I never knew my father growing up. I only wanted to find him and reunite with him.”
Recently, Hailey had seen the news and learned that cara’s father was the chairman of the Ramoz family.
Hailey had recently learned from the news that Clara was the long–lost daughter of Henry Ramoz, the chairman of the Ramoz family. He was a respected figure in Seathburn known for philanthropy and scholarly pursuits.
This revelation gave Hailey a reason to reconsider her anger.
Meanwhile, Allie, standing nearby, couldn’t hide her disdain for Clara’s dramatica. She knew well how Clara had once flaunted her influence at Brooks Manor, even claiming the title of Mrs. Brocks–fact unknown to Hailey.
“Since Conner threatened you and you came to me willingly, I can forgive you. But whether Sergio forgives you is up to you,” Halley said, her tone eamest as she sat on the couch.
“You are carrying the Brooks family’s child. If you don’t want to be with the guy from the Jeffersons, I will protect you,” she added.
“Thank you, Mrs. Brooks Senior!” Clara pretended to wipe away her tears.
Hailey closed the tea lid and said calmly, “Alright, you can get up now.
Clara only stood up after Halley spoke.
“You will stay here for now and go nowhere else. If the famoz family comes looking for you, you can go back if you wish. But if the Jefferson family causes trouble, I will handle it.”
Clara’s face it up with joy at these words.
Allie hesitated upon seeing this but knew she had to inform Marve. She couldn’t have let a woman like Clara marcy Sergio.
That afternoon, Alle gathered the courage and visited Hackett Entertainment. As soon as she walked in, the receptionist gave her a once–over. “May I ask who you are looking for?
“I’m looking for Maeve, Ms. Scott Is shehere?”
“She is, but..” The receptionist sized Allie up and down. “Why do you need to meet Ms. Scott?
Just then, Maeve stepped out of the elevator and saw Alle standing awkwardly at the reception. She frowned and asked, “Alle?
Allle, hearing Maeve’s voice, immediately looked relieved. “Mrs. Brooks.”
“What’s wrong?” Maeve asked. Allie wouldn’t have come here without a good reason.
