Chapter 529
The elevator doors slid open, and Sergio stepped out. Marve, still intrigued by his earlier comments, walked up to him.
“I remember hearing that the Brooks family was considered nouveau riche last century. There didn’t seem to be many of those back then.”
Maeve had been researching the brooks family’s history for a while. Sergio, ever perceptive, noticed her interest. He looked at her and said, “You seem especially focused on the past today”
Sergio’s gaze held a note of caution. Maeve couldn’t pinpoint which of her questions had unsettled him, but it was clear from his look that he knew some hidden secrets about the Brooks family.
At that moment, a housekeeper rushed over. “Mr. Brooks! Bad news! Ms. Hoffman has taken your car!”
Sergio frowned, and Maeve added, “I only wanted her to check with Mrs. Brooks Senior about the truth. But now that she’s emotionally unstable, I hope nothing serious happens.” “Let’s go!” Sergio said before pulling Maeve with him as they left the Brooks estate. He drove a spare car toward Brooks Manor
Meanwhile, Cecilia was banging on the front door of Brooks Manor.
Alle answered, looking confused. Seeing Cecilia in a panic only added to her bewilderment. “Ms. Hoffman?”
“Where is Mrs. Brooks Senior? Where is she?”
“Mrs. Brooks Senior
Before Allie could finish, Cecilia brandished a fruit knife.
Allie’s face turned ashen. “Ms. Hoffman! What are you doing?”
“I need to see Mrs. Brooks Senior now! Take me to her right now!”
saggressive demeanor made it clear she meant business. “Okay, calm down. I’ll get Mrs. Brooks Senior!”
Allie had barely moved toward the living room when Halley emerged from a room. Her tone was languid. “What’s all this commotion in broad daylight?
Seeing Cecilia with the knife, Halley frowned. “Cecilia? What’s going on?
“You lied to me! You deceived me! The person who entered my room that night wasn’t Sergio, was it?
Just then, Maeve and Sergio arrived Watching the scene unfold, Maeve was reminded of her past life. She had also been tricked by Halley into drugging Sergio, leading him to despise her for life.
It seemed that in this life, Hailey hadn’t changed. To achieve her goals, she was still using despicable means against her own grandson
“I thought it was something serious. How would I know who entered your room that night?” Hailey said, possibly trying to maintain her dignity in front of Sergio.
“You wanted to become Mrs. Brooks, and I showed you the way. You were just too foolish to recognize the right person and ended up losing your virginity.
“An indecent woman like you doesn’t deserve to be part of the Brooks family.” Hailey’s mocking words left Cecilia dumbfounded.
Marve suddenly applauded and said, “Well said, Mrs. Brooks Senior! Truly well said! It’s the firsttime I’ve seen an elder so skilled at dodging responsibility Hailey frowned: “Marve, what do you mean?”
“What kind of place is the Brooks Estate? Would a stranger just wander in? And he went straight to Ms. Hoffman’s room as if he knew exactly what would happen. “Il someone hadn’t pointed him in the right direction, it wouldn’t make any sense, would in?”
