Never See You Again

Lyra hadn't expected Sergio to be able to compensate such a large sum, but she wasn't one to have money issues. Despite the commotion, this whole affair was certainly worth it! "Have you received the compensation?" Maeve asked.

Even Lyra was surprised by the speedy resolution. She remarked, "He must've transferred it directly from his personal account. Otherwise, it wouldn't have arrived so swiftly. Oh, that Sergio must be afraid of getting embarrassed, so he used his own money to transfer to me."

As Maeve noticed the absence of Zion and Charlie in the company, she couldn't help but ask, "Where are they? Shouldn't they be here during a

crisis?"

"Zion vanished as soon as he heard about the news. He even informed me not to tell you. It seems he knew early on that Sergio was behind it and is gearing up for payback," Lyra explained.

Maeve nodded in contemplation. Getting revenge was normal for Zion, but why keep it from her?

"I called you today because I was really furious, but now that I think about it, Zion will be livid if he finds out!" Lyra said with regret.

"Now that everything's resolved, you should call Zion and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble," Maeve advised.

This was Seathburn City after all. As Sergio said, Seathburn was ultimately his territory. Despite Zion's connections, he still couldn't compete with Sergio. She didn't want the situation to escalate further. "Don't worry, Zion knows his limits. At most, he'll just cause a few days of trouble for Sergio's company," Lyra replied confidently. Yet after a moment of thought, Lyra didn't quite believe her own words and decided to call Zion.

The call was immediately hung up. Lyra was puzzled. "He... he hung up on me."

Maeve also took out her phone and dialed Zion's number, which was answered after just one ring.

"He picked up," Maeve said, confused.

"What?!" Lyra was enraged by Zion and started venting into the phone, "Zion Spencer! Are you asking for trouble?! You answered Meave's call instead of your sister's call! How did I give birth to a brother like you!"

Maeve stammered, "Y-You're gave birth to him?"

Lyra realized she had misspoken and quickly corrected herself, "Figuratively speaking! Anyway, you've failed as a brother! Your sister is mad! Extremely mad!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Zion's calm voice, "Are you done?”

"Yeah! I'm done!"

"Pass the phone to Maeve," he replied.

"Alright." Lyra curled her lips and handed the phone to Maeve.

Maeve asked on the phone, "Lyra mentioned that you're planning to revenge on Sergio?"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"It's not so much of a revenge. It's just a small lesson," Zion said calmly.

"I've already settled things with Sergio. You don't have to worry," she assured him.

"Tit for tat," Zion paused before adding, "This is a match between men."

Maeve was puzzled. A match between men?

At night, Maeve returned to Brooks Manor temporarily.
