Never See You Again

#Clara was taken aback by Sergio's indifference.

Larry approached Clara and said, "Ms. Stewart, please come with me upstairs to change your clothes."

Clara lowered her head. "Okay..."

Sergio suddenly spoke coldly, "Remove your makeup before coming down."

Clara's heart trembled. "But-"

"You're a student, so this mature and flashy makeup doesn't suit you."

Clara felt even more uncomfortable upon hearing Sergio's words. Was her makeup truly that awful?

As Larry walked ahead, Clara asked softly, "Larry, do I not look good in this outfit?"

Larry glanced back with a cold look and said, "Mr. Brooks prepared this dress for Madam."

Upon hearing this, Clara's expression shifted. So this dress was actually prepared for Maeve?

"But the gatekeeper said you sent this dress for me."

"That must have been a mistake in the communication at the gate. Ms. Stewart, you shouldn't have come

today."

Clara suddenly felt humiliated by Larry's distant and indifferent tone.

Meanwhile, Maeve was in the apartment preparing her resume,

Lyra said, "Sergio asked you to accompany him to the banquet. Why don't you go? Maybe you can gather some intelligence."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"I don't feel like going." She certainly didn't want to see Sergio's face when it seemed like he would kill her at any moment.

"If you don't want to go, then don't. Why do you have to give Clara this opportunity? Isn't that just giving her an advantage?"

As the banquet was open to all major companies, it included all the prominent figures in Seathburn City. Since Clara was just a college student, her presence at such an event would make her feel out of place. "Sergio likes Clara, so I'm just going along with his preference."

Maeve remained composed. Since Sergio liked Clara so much, he would naturally prefer her to be his companion.

For the past few months, Sergio always had Clara accompany him whenever there was a party or event, He flaunted her even more than before, wanting the whole world to know Clara was the woman by his

side.

This time, she didn't know what had gotten into Sergio's head to actually have her over.

But she wasn't a woman who could be summoned at his beck and call. If he wanted her to go, he could

keep dreaming.

Maeve's phone suddenly rang. It was Sheldon.

She had been taking sick leave from school for the past few months, and Sheldon would check in with her every few days. But this was the first time he had called so late at night.

When Maeve answered the phone, she expected Sheldon's usual inquiries. Instead, she heard his furious

voice.

*Maeve, are you out of your mind? You were once the legitimate wife, but now you're being treated like

this by the mistress?"

Maeve was confused. "What are you talking about?"

"Sergio has been flaunting Clara everywhere for the past few months, which was bad enough. But today. of all occasions, he's also taking Clara!"

It then dawned on Maeve. As a member of the Hackett family, Sheldon would definitely be at the Brooks

family banquet today.

Maeve was afraid that Sheldon's impulsive nature might lead him to cause trouble. She quickly said, " Don't get worked up. Actually..."

"Don't sweat it. Today, I must teach Sergio a lesson!"
