Chapter 336
Before Maeve could finish speaking, Levi furrowed his brow slightly.
Marve immediately withheld her words. She couldn’t possibly reveal Levi’s secret in front of him
Levi’s severe depression was his most closely guarded secret.
After all, with Levi controlling such a vast estate as the Hackett family, if outsiders were to learn of his depression, it would undoubtedly cause
a stir. Those seeking power within the Hackett family would undoubtedly resort to underhanded tactics.
So, Maeve delicately suggested, “Mr. Hackett, medication alone won’t heal mental wounds. Why not identify the root cause and address it thoroughly?”
“Thank you, Ms. Scott,” Levi replied calmly, then tumed to his butler behind him. “Escort Ms. Scott out.”
“Yes, sir,” the butler replied. His sweat was beading on his back. It was the first time someone had dared to speak so boldly in front of Mr. Levi
Just moments ago, he thought Mr. Levi might kill her.
Maeve followed the butler out. She gazed at the vast Hackett Manor once more.
“The Hackett Manor is truly massive.” She couldn’t help but sigh again.
Maeve didn’t know the kind of torment Levi was enduring as he carried the entire Hackett family on his shoulders
At this moment, Zion stood under the canopy on the rooftop. He leaned against the wall.
“Severe depression, I couldn’t even tell, but she could,” Zion remarked. He smiled while mentioning Maeve
His expression seemed to boast, “My women, isn’t she something?”
Zion looked at Levi and asked, “As your good friend, shouldn’t you tell me what’s causing your depression?”
Zion thought. “Was it the Hackett family? No. The Hackett family’s affairs, though burdensome to others, were simply inconsequential to Levi’s extraordinary intellect.
“Was it his legs? No, Levi wouldn’t care about a pair of legs.”
Zion simply couldn’t grasp what led Levito depression
Levi’s tone was calm, “Instead of discussing my condition here, why not talk about how to persuade her not to harm the Brooks Group?” “You don’t need to persuade her.” Zion casually replied, “Even if she pokes a hole in Seathbu City, I’ll cover for her.”
After a long
g silence, Levi finally asked, “Have you fallen for her?”
It was not a question, it was a certainty.
“You’re asking knowingly,” Zion replied.
Levi retorted coldly to Zion’s response. “Don’t forget why you came to Seathburn City.”
Zion remained unfazed and replied, “That doesn’t conflict
“I mean if she knew you initially approached her for Sergio…” Levi’s words trailed off, but Zion’s smile vanished.
Levi continued, “She’s not a woman who’ll willingly be used. Some things you better clarity with her sooner rather than later. The longer it takes, the riskier it gets
“She’ll never find out.” Zion’s s gaze turned icy.
“You can just worry a
rry about your affairs. Beware that one day, your depression might drive you to jump off a building.”
With that, Zion turned and left.
Levi watched Maeve follow the butler and leave downstairs, his gaze deep and contemplative.
Was that the source of his turmoil?
He glanced down at his crippled legs and let out a self–deprecating smile.
The turmoil in his heart was something he could never voice.
