Never See You Again

When Lyra heard that, she clapped her hands in approval.

"That's really smart of you!"

A faint smile appeared on Maeve's face.

In reality, she didn't want to target Clara on purpose, but Clara was the one who played those tricks first. Maeve couldn't just sit down and take it.

At noon, Clara slowly walked down the stairs. She couldn't walk very well, so she seemed to be in quite a bind when she went downstairs. But when she saw Allie bustling about in the living room, she still felt a sense of superiority welling up in her heart.

"Allie, I'm hungry. Go and make something for me."

Clara wasn't polite at all. Her feeble demeanor when she was leaning in Sergio's arms last night had vanished without a trace.

When Allie saw Clara, she was immediately pissed. Fury was written all over her face, but because Sergio was the one who had asked Clara to stay here, Allie had no choice but to say, "Lunch will only be served at 12:00 pm. This is a rule set by Madam."

At the mention of Maeve, Clara felt like a thorn was embedded in her heart.

"What sort of a maid are you? Didn't you hear what I said? I said I'm hungry!"

Clara spoke in an unkind tone.

Because of her ruined face, she was a little short-tempered as well.

Allie felt extremely troubled, but she had no choice but to do as she was told.

After all, Clara was Sergio's current favorite.

When Clara saw Allie finally obeying her, she sat on the couch, feeling satisfied. She turned on the TV.

There weren't any TVs in the dorms, after all.

Also, it wasn't just the TV. Even the guest rooms in Brooks Manor were equipped with the best bedding available. She hadn't slept so comfortably in a long while.

She even looked forward to the day she could sleep in the master bedroom. It would definitely feel like

heaven.

Just then, violent knocks sounded on the door.

Clara frowned in dissatisfaction. "Allie, didn't you hear someone knocking on the door? Go and answer the door right now!" Chapter 87

Allie grew even more upset to be ordered around by a mere girl. Still, she suppressed her dissatisfaction as she opened the door.

When Allie saw the visitor, she was shocked. "Mrs. Brooks Senior?"

Hailey's gaze was as sharp as knives. Glancing coldly into the house, she walked through the door.

When Clara saw Halley, she immediately stood up from her seat on the couch. The arrogance and haughtiness were completely gone from her. "M-Mrs. Brooks Senior.."Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Clara stammered a little.

She didn't expect Hailey to visit out of the blue.

"You again?"

Hailey's gaze turned even colder.

"Mrs. Brooks Senior, Mr. Brooks was so mad at this woman that she upped and left!"

Beside them, Allie added fuel to the fire.

Clara's expression shifted a little. She hastily tried to explain, saying, "That's not true, Mrs. Brooks Senior!"

Without another word, Hailey went forward and slapped Clara across the face.

"Ah!"

The slap was loud and clear, and Clara's cheek instantly swelled up.

Hailey narrowed her eyes as she spoke in a sharp tone, "You shameless wench, what do you take Brooks Manor for? Did you really think that someone like you could enter this house as you pleased?" Clara's eyes instantly turned red, but she held back her tears with all her might.

Just then, Sergio had just arrived at the entrance in a hurry.

He rushed back as soon as he received the news, and that was the scene he saw when he entered the

house.

"Grandma!"

Sergio shielded Clara by pulling her into his arms. Clara's tears instantly streamed down her face. "Sergio...
