"Not exactly.. that's where Levi does his business," Levi replied vaguely.

r mind people going upstairs?"

Maeve wasn't familiar with the rules of the Hackett family, having never attended one of their events before. However, the fact that no one had stopped her from going upstairs earlier suggested that Levi had permitted it, perhaps as a warning against getting too close to his brother.

"It's getting late, I should go," Maeve said.

"I'll send you back," Levi insisted.

"It's fine." As Maeve was about to leave, Sergio had entered the Hackett Manor. Despite the toast from the other guests, he walked straight to

Maeve avoided his gaze as her expression turned cold. Just moments ago, everyone had witnessed Sergio carrying Clara away. Yet now he's suddenly back to bring her home. Was he trying to publicly embarrass her?

Sheldon sneered "Should Maeve always do as you say, Sergio? Seems a bit controlling, don't you think?"

Sergio glanced at Levi with an indifferent expression. He continued, "Maeve is my wife. If she's not coming with me, is she planning to leave with you?"
