Chapter 221
Maeve would have been thrilled to hear those words in the past. But now, they only made her feel guilty. Her feelings for Sergio had dissipated long ago, and there was no turning back.
As they approached the conference room, the directors could be heard anxiously discussing something. The moment the door opened, silence fell, and all eyes turned to Maeve.
One of the directors was visibly displeased and said, “Mr. Brooks, we have important matters to discuss now. It’s best not to bring any Irrelevant people in
“Besides, Ms. Scott seems to be related to the Mirage Group. Who knows if she’ll leak the information to them?”
Maeve remained expressionless. She hadn’t intended to listen to these stubborn old men discuss the company’s affairs anyway.
If it weren’t for Sergio’s efforts to hold the Brooks Group together, these old–timers would have ended up in misery long ago.
“Maeve is my wife. Her presence here is perfectly reasonable,” Sergio said firmly.
Another director interjected, “Mr. Brooks, she’s not part of the company and won’t prioritize our interests. I advise you to let her leave so that we can all be at ease.”
“I have transferred 20% of the company shares to Maeve. She is now a significant part of the Brooks Group. Maeve’s percentage of shares surpasses that of all of you. Now, does anyone still have any objections?”
Larry was stunned. “Mr. Brooks!” Transferring such a large amount of shares was a major decision. Why hadn’t the known anything about it? Maeve was more shocked than Larry and the other directors. She stood still and looked at Sergio with confusion.
20% of the shares? What did that mean? It meant that she now had more control over the Brooks Group than anyone else except Sergio. If she wanted to, she could use her shares to overthrow him at any time.
Maeve lowered her voice and said, “Sergio, you should think this through.”
“I did. In this world, nothing and no one else is more important than you.” Sergio looked at her and whispered, “I’ve never been as clear- headed as I am now.”
Maeve was taken aback by his gaze. She couldn’t understand why things had suddenly escalated this way.
How could Sergio possibly love her? Clearly, Clara was supposed to be the love of his life. She had witnessed how deep his feelings for Clara were, so she knew this gaze all too well

Sergio’s gaze now mirrored the way he used to look at Clara in her previous life, except
Suddenly, Marve realized that Sergio was being serious. It wasn’t another one of his lies.
“Does anyone else have any objections?” Sergio asked.
At Sergio’s words, the directors fell silent as they did not dare to speak up.
“Since there are no objections, let’s begin today’s meeting,” Sergio said.

deeper and more sincere.
Hearing this, Larry quickly prepared a chair for Maeve. Sergio and Maeve sat together, but Maeve couldn’t focus on a single word said during the meeting
The meeting revolved around the Brooks Group’s strategy to counter the Mirage Group. Simultaneously, they were planning to launch new business initiatives to overcome the current project’s pressures
Undeniably, these required substantial funding.
Maeve glanced at Sergio several times. He was deeply engaged in discussing the proposals, with zero intentions of keeping her in the dark.
Larry noticed that Maeve was in a daze and whispered, “Mrs. Brooks, are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine. I just need a moment,” Maeve replied. She stood up, and the discussion around them ceased.
“Please proceed without me,” Maeve said calmly.
No one objected. With a tone full of affection, Sergio said, “If you’re tired, go to the lounge. I’ll have Larry prepare something you’d like to eat.
