Never See You Again

Chapter 96

Maeve left without even looking back. Clara tugged at Sergio's sleeve, saying, "Sergio, I think Maeve was saying those things out of anger. Please don't take it to heart. Calm down." Sergio pulled away expressionlessly.

Clara stared at her empty hand. She couldn't help but be shocked.

Sergio said indifferently, "I have matters to settle at work. Stay home and study hard. If you need. anything, just tell Allie."

"Sergio-"

Clara tried to get Sergio to stay, but Sergio had already upped and left.

Allie was sweeping the floor. When she saw that scene, she couldn't help but snort at Clara.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The married couple was just giving each other the silent treatment, but Clara actually thought that she was the lady of the house!

Clara instantly felt embarrassed and mad when she saw Allie's expression.

Maeve returned to her apartment opposite the school. She had already returned to the apartment with

Lyra in the morning.

Lyra said in slight excitement, "Did you really ask Sergio for a divorce? Did he agree?"

Maeve thought about it in detail. Then, she said, "He didn't say anything."

"If he didn't say anything, it means that he's silently agreeing to it! I'll ask my lawyer to draft a divorce agreement right away. We have to get at least tens of billions of dollars from him. Then, we'll kick that jerk into the sun!"

Lyra grew even more enthusiastic as she spoke. She wished that she could drag Maeve to the law firmi

right away.

Maeve shook her head, saying, "The divorce won't happen."

"Why?"

Lyra froze for a moment.

Maeve said, "If Sergio could file a divorce, he would've done it a long time ago. He wouldn't have waited. until I brought it up."

"You have a point."

Confused, Lyra asked, "Then why..."

"It's a marriage of convenience. Our families have tons of connections between us. Right now, the Scott

and the Brooks families still have use for each other, so we can't turn against each other for the moment Chapter 96

"Also, Mrs. Brooks Senior has always approved of my being her granddaughter-in-law. She will never allow Sergio to divorce me for someone like Clara."

Maeve knew that very well. That was why she mentioned divorce in front of Allie before she left Brooks Manor just now.

Allie had always served Hailey in the past, so she was very close to Hailey. Hence, Allie would definitel tell Hailey about this.

Then, it would be quite difficult for Clara to keep staying in Brooks Manor.

Lyra quickly realized that. She said, "But it's probably hell having to live with a man like that!"

Maeve replied, "Don't worry, our marriage won't make it past the next six months."

"How so?"

Maeve said slowly, "We can't get divorced for now simply because the Scott and the Brooks families are

involved in terms of benefits. But when the Scotts no longer have any use for the Brook family, we'll naturally kick shove them aside."

"It's easy for you to say, but you can't just get rid of those connections so easily. Moreover, event outsiders can see that your family is just putting on a show. If it weren't for your relationship with Sergio, your family would probably fall to ruin in a few years."

Maeve was surprised that even Lyra had figured out the Scotts' difficult situation.

If that was the case, then Sergio must be aware of that as

well.

In Maeve's previous life, Sergio had married her and snatched away all the connections and projects the Scotts had accumulated over the years. After that, he heartlessly kicked the Scotts out of the game. In the end, he even went so far as to completely destroy the Scotts.
