Chapter 464
The mention of an invaluable wedding gift made Maeve understand everything.
For someone as prideful as Hailey, why would she have refused if Henry personally promised an invaluable wedding gift?
After all, Clara was carrying the Brooks family’s first grandchild.
Maeve sneered Hailey always acted out of self–interest, whether in her past life or this one.
When Marve was still the distinguished Scott family heiress, Halley treated her be the perfect granddaughter–in–law. But now that Clara’s pregnancy benefited the Brooks family, Halley put Clara on the pedestal.
In this lifetime, Clara had falsely assumed the identity of the Ramez family’s heiress and was even pregnant with Sergio’s child. Naturally, Hailey was even more eager to have Clara as the new Mrs. Brocks.
Maeve and Sergio had once again reached the same outcome in this lifetime. The only difference was that Marve wouldn’t face such a tragic end.
“It’s odd, though, Why isn’t Mr. Brooks here at such an important event?” Patricia looked around, puzzled.
Yet, she wasn’t the only one concerned. Other guests were also glancing about curiously. The future Mrs. Brooks had made her appearance, so why was Sergio, the main character, absent?
“Ms. Scott,” Zayla addressed Maeve and whispered something into her ear,
After a brief silence, Maeve replied, “Got it”
“Ms. Scott, is something wrong?” Patricia asked.
“I need to go upstairs for a moment. Mrs. Johnson, please wait for me. I’ll be back shortly,” Marve said.
Patricia smiled gently. “Of course.
Marve lifted her skirt and told Zayla, “Wait here. Don’t let anyone else upstairs.”
“Yes, Ms. Scott,” Zayla replied.
With that, Maeve went upstairs.
The second floor of the Brooks Estate was deserted. Clara emerged from a corner, looking pitifully delicate in her luxurious white dress.
“Marve.”
“I thought I’d be meeting Serglo. Ms. Ramoz, why did you call me here under his name? Maeve’s tone was unexpectedly icy.
Clara approached Maeve, looking aggrieved. “Maeve, I know I snatched Sergio from you, and you resent me. I called you here today to tell you.”
Maeve waited for Clara to continue, but Clara suddenly smirked and said, “To tell you to go to hell!
Before Maeve could react, Clara lunged at her. In that split second, Clara grabbed Maeve’s wrist and tumbled down the stairs, pulling Maeve with her.
It all happened in the blink of an eye. A scream erupted from below, and everyone’s gaze shifted to the spiral staircase, where Clara had rolled down, Soon, a pool of blood began to spread on the floor.
“Someone help! Ms. Ramez has fallen from the stairs!”
H
* A trail, elderly volce cried out. Henry, who had just entered the Brooks Estate, witnessed the scene. Along with Conner, Henry roshed to Clara, who had fainted.
Henry helped her, and Conner shouted, “Call the ambulance!”
