Chapter 443
Maeve replied, “Maybe. But Mr. Ramoz, you should be aware of what the Brooks family is like. My grandmother–in–law isn’t easy to handle. If your daughter marries into Brooks family, she might suffer in the future.
“Oh, and by the way, Mrs. Brooks Senior seems to suspect that clara might not be your daughter. She’ll probably arrange a meeting soon to interrogate you thoroughly.
*Even though she’s aging now, she’s still very particular about ber granddaughter–in–law’s status, so I hope you can excuse her for that.”
With that, Maeve stood up and told the waiter, “There’s no need to serve the food. Pack everything for Mr. Ramoz to take home. I don’t think he wants to dine with me
Without waiting for the waiter’s response, Maeve turned and left.
Henry, visibly upset with the Brooks family, slammed his fist on the table.
Meanwhile, Maeve remained unfazed. Whether Clara was Henry’s daughter or not, Henry seemed convinced she was. There was no way he would have swallowed his pride after being humiliated by Halley,
Halley was proud and arrogant. When she invited Henry to dinner tomorrow, things were bound to get interesting
Once outside the Royal Bistro, Marve took out her phone and called Lyra
“What? You’re treating us to dinner?” Lyra sounded puzzled.
“Yeah. Tomorrow night at the Royal Bistro. I’m inviting you all for dinner and a show,” Maeve replied.
“I get dinner, but is there an event at the Royal Bistro tomorrow? Who’s performing Lyra asked, sounding even more confused.
Charlie grabbed Lyra’s phone and said to Marve, “Ms. Scott, count us in for suce!”
Maeve nodded and then had Zayla book a private room.
The next day, Maeve didn’t show up at the Hackett Group at
By 6:00 pm, everyone had gathered at the Royal Bistro.
“Ms. Scott, this is the first time you’re treating us. What’s going on? What’s the big show?” Charlie asked excitedly as the waiters began serving dishes.
“Keep it down. These private rooms aren’t exactly soundproof,” Maeve cautioned.
“Really?” Charlie looked perplexed
Across from them, Zion deftly prepared fish for Marve, looking every bit like her loyal companion.
“Mr. Ramoz, this way, please. Mrs. Brooks Senior has been waiting for you,” Allie politely invited Henry in. But unexpectedly, Henry had brought Conner along.
Upon seeing Sergio’s rival, Halley’s expression darkened.
Henry, however, remained unfazed. “Conner is like a son to me. When I heard that Mrs. Brooks Senior graciously invited us to dinner, I thought it would be a good opportunity for him to broaden his horizons. I hope that’s alright.”
“If I objected, would he leave? Hailey replied coldly.
She hadn’t planned to put up a friendly facade. After all, the Brooks family was the leading enterprise in Seachbum. While the Ramoz family was esteemed as well, they couldn’t match the Brooks” wealth and influence.
In Hailey’s view, inviting Henry was already a mark of respect toward the Ramoz family. Yet Henry, unappreciative as ever, had even brought Conner along.
