Chapter 534
However, fate seemed to have an unbreakable connection between Maeve and Sergio.
In her past life, Maeve had cling to the marriage, but in this life, she had finally let go. Yet now, it was Sergio who refused to divorce.
Maeve knew she had been foolish in her past life to have sacrificed everything for a man. She no longer had any real reason for revenge.
Her previous manipulations had been attempts to prevent the Scott family from repeating past tragedies. She simply wanted to survive in Seathburn City
with them.
The only variable was that Sergio had fallen in love with her and didn’t agree to the divorce.
Maeve had thought this through. After the divorce, she would sever all ties with Sergio.
She was no longer the Maeve dreaming of fairytale romances. She wanted her own career, her own life, and now, she bore the responsibility of the Scott family on her shoulders.
Soon, the car pulled into the hospital parking lot.
When the hospital staff learned that Sergio had arrived, they quickly convened a surgical meeting. Within ten minutes, Sergio was taken to the operating room by nurses and doctors.
As a family member, Maeve needed to sign the consent form for the surgery. By the time Larry arrived, Sergio had already been in surgery for over half an hour.
Larry said, “Ms. Hoffman must have fled back to the Hoffman family by now. I’ve sent people to find her. We’ll bring her to you soon.”
“Hold off on bringing Cecilia here for now,” Maeve replied wearily. “First, I need to know who the man was that Mrs. Brooks Senior brought into Cecilia’s room.”
“Well.” Larry hesitated before continuing, “Actually, Mr. Brooks wasn’t aware of this either. He had no idea a man had entered Ms. Hoffman’s room that night.
“It was only when Ms. Hoffman’s attitude became strange that he grew suspicious and investigated. It turned out to be Mrs. Brooks Senior’s driver….” Maeve found the revelation utterly absurd.
She recalled that Hailey’s driver was already in his thirties. It seemed Hailey had been enjoying her privileged life for too long, to the point where she allowed her driver to sexually assault a young heiress who hadn’t even graduated from college.
“So, what’s Sergio’s stance on this?” Maeve asked.
“Mr. Brooks knew it was Mrs. Brooks Senior’s doing… so he didn’t tell Ms. Hoffman. Instead, he let her stay and tried to find ways to compensate the Hoffman family. But no one expected Ms. Hoffman to make such a scene…”
Maeve rubbed her temples as she realized Hailey’s intention behind sending a man into Cecilia’s room. It was nothing more than Cecilia’s failure to seduce Sergio.
Hailey, wanting to keep Cecilia as a pawn and control Sergio, had arranged for another man to enter Cecilia’s room, making her believe she belonged to Sergio. Naturally, this would make Cecilia more devoted.
At that time, Clara had already approached Hailey to express her desire to marry into the Brooks family.
Hailey had agreed to Clara’s request, manipulated Cecilia, and aimed to push Maeve, who was on the verge of divorcing, out of the picture.
However, too many changes have occurred since then. Cecilia, too, wasn’t as compliant as she had appeared.
As the saying goes, desperate times call for desperate measures. Cecilia, who had endured Hailey’s manipulation for so long, was no exception.
Everything that had led to this point was the result of Hailey’s scheming
“Gather all the evidence and hand it to Cecilia.”
“What?” Larry thought he had misheard.
