Never See You Again

The moment James said those words, Maeve gave him a huge slap. James' face swelled red.

After being stunned for several seconds, he looked at her in disbelief. "How dare you slap me!" "I already said I'd put you back in your place if you said another word." Maeve glared at James. James was livid. "Maeve, you fucking-"

face was swollen red.

Before he could finish his sentence, Maeve gave him another slap. She put all her strength into it. James's face was

"You better watch your mouth! I've always looked the other way and ignored you because of Uncle Phil, but that doesn't mean I'm weak! If you pick a fight with me again, your face is going to pay the price!" Maeve gaze was icy. She used to stay at Philip's house before she married Sergio. Back then, even though James was still little, he often harassed her under Sharon's encouragement.

He would tear her textbooks apart, steal her stuff, and so on, but she always ignored his petty little pranks. Now, she had no reason to stay as lenient as she was.

James was so angry he started trembling. Just as he was going to strike back using his larger figure, Maeve suddenly shouted orders at the maids downstairs, "Were all of you hired to do nothing? Hurry up and take James back to his room!"

Upon hearing the commotion, a few maids immediately rushed upstairs. They stood beside James and advised him to leave. If Philip heard about this, he would get the beating of his life,

James pointed at Maeve and declared arrogantly, "Just you wait! One day, I'll kill you!"

Maeve scoffed, "Go back and tell your mom to watch herself! As long as I'm alive, I'm not going to let her get her way!"

Afraid that things might go out of hand, James had no choice but to suppress his anger and back down.

Sergio called Maeve in the middle of the night. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "When are you coming home?" Maeve said nonchalantly, "I'm staying at Uncle Phil's today, so I'm not going home."

"I'll get you right now."

Maeve frowned. After a while, she replied, "You can get me tomorrow, I have something to discuss with you then."

"I'll fetch you home right now." Sergio sounded like he wouldn't take no for an answer.

Maeve glanced at the time. It was now midnight.

Sergio waited for Maeve's answer at the other end of the phone. Brooks Manor was empty today.

Without a single person in sight, Sergio felt anxious. He felt like he was going to lose something. Unease kept tugging at his mind.

"Fine." Maeve didn't refuse him. Postponing what she had to say wouldn't make a difference.

James was eavesdropping on her outside the room. He snickered and sneaked into the garage downstairs. Maeve's car was parked in there. James used a pair of scissors to cut the brake line. His expression was murderous. "Die, Maeve!"

Sergio arrived at Scott Manor very soon and woke up Philip and Sharon. The two of them walked out to wText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
