Chapter 475
Clara clenched her teeth. “If Maeve is the woman you love, then why were you so kind to me? Why all the consideration? Why give me hope and make me believe you loved me?
“I was nice to you because I thought you’d benefit the Brooks Group. I was wrong to think you were just a kind, gentle woman. You’re more vicious than I ever imagined! You even lalled your own child!
“Maeve never provoked you, yet you opposed her relentlessly. Clara, I know your real identity! Not exposing you was the greatest mercy I’ve shown you!”
Sergio’s eyes, once warm, now held nothing but contempt. Dispust replaced any trace of affection
Clara was familiar with that look. Sergio used to look at Mave the same way. But now, it was her him.
“Sergio, no matter how many bad things I’ve done in the past, I truly care about you. After all, we’ve spent a night together. Please, help me, alright? I can’t go back to Conner. He’ll definitely kill me!”
Tears welled up in Clara’s eyes.
She’d been obedient and gentle for years by Sergio’s side. He once adored her and made her his world. She thought she was his priority, but now he ruthlessly withdrew all that
love.
“You know exactly what happened that night, Sergio said with his fists clenched
He regretted ever being merciful to her that night. It was a moment of weakness that cost him Maeve forever.
Maeve had never forgiven or accepted him again!
“Serglo, you used to treat me like a queen. If I said I was tired from studying, you took me out to relax even if you were busy. If I were hungry, you would have Larry bring me dine
“You introduced me to business tycoons and taught me how to navigate the world. Years I’ve stood by you, longer than Maeve! But why are you treating me like this now?”
One by one, tears escaped Clara’s eyes like broken beads,
However, Sergio’s gaze grew colder eyes turned colder at the mention of their past.
“If it weren’t for the memories of our past, do you think you could still be here safely as the Ramoz family’s heiress?” he asked.
“I know I made a mistake, Sergio. I’ll do whatever you want.. I’ll change. I still have my knowledge and can help Brooks Group
“I don’t need to be the Ramoz family’s heiress. Just let me stay by your side, even as a junior secretary! Please, that’s all I as
Clara looked into Sergio’s eyes, silently pleading for a trace of mercy.
After all these years, she knew Sergio well–beneath his cold extering lay a soft heart.
If she hadn’t impulsively drugged him and thrown herself at him, perhaps he wouldn’t have cut ties with her so decisively.
Clara tugged at Sergio’s sleeve and whispered, “Sergio, you won’t just stand by and watch me die, right?”
Despite his polished facade, Conner was vicious and ruthless at the core. This time, Clara’s attempt to frame Maeve had backfired, tarnishing her own reputation and leaving her vulnerable.
With her most potent leverage gone, Clara knew Conner would stop at nothing to kill her without Sergio’s protection
Seeing Clara’s desperate plea reminded Sergio of a similar moment with Maeve years ago. She had begged him to stay the night shortly after their wedding. He rarely returned
home then.
Maeve had cling to his sleeve while looking at him with pleading eyes. “Sergio, could you please stay tonight?”
Back then, indifference filled his eyes as he coldly brushed off Maeve’s touch, leaving her alone with only the echo of a closing door.
Suddenly, Sergio’s mind flashed to the image of Maeve’s neck with love marks and her cold, detached eyes.
“Serg, Idon’t love you anymore.”
That simple sentence pierced his heart once more.
