Chapter 231
The first time, Sergio had mistaken Maeve for Clara, and he had been extremely gentle to her. The second time that night, Sergio had regained his senses. As he thought that she had drugged him, his actions were very rough.
After that night, Serglo’s attitude toward her became extremely bad. Out of spite, he retaliated against the Scott family and secretly used schemes to bankrupt them
Even when Maeve became pregnant, he still treated her with neglect and left her to die on the operating table at the hospital.
Thinking about this, Maeve clenched her fists. How could she forget everything that he had done to her just because he had treated her kindly over the past few days?
Sergio was inherently cold and callous. He only cared about himself.
After a moment, Sergio emerged from the bathroom. He wore only a white bathrobe, with water droplets still dripping from his hair.
Sering Marve sitting silently on the edge of the bed, he approached and asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”
Just as Sergio was about to reach out to help her fix her messy hair, Maeve turned her head away. Sergio’s hand froze in mid–air, and Maeve stood up. She said, “I want to ask you something.”
“Sure.”
“Is Clara an orphan?”
Yes
“Was she a student at a private girls‘ school?”
“Yeah.”
Then…. why must it be her?”
Sergio didn’t think much about Maeve’s question, but he answered truthfully, “She excelled academically at the private girls‘ school. The Brooks Group will usually select a few outstanding students to support, and these selections aren’t random. We consider various factors to ensure the students‘ aptitude, good character, and positive image before supporting them.”
“But Brooks Group has helped many students before. Why do you treat Clara differently?” Sergio looked at Maeve’s expression, realizing that she might be jealous.
Sergio held Maeve’s hand and explained, “I noticed her feeding a few stray cats some water, and it stirred my sympathy. She was
u. She was wearing the school’s uniform. Upon inquiry, I learned that she was one of the students supported by Brooks Group. That’s why I paid more attention to her
Maeve lowered her gaze. She found Sergio’s reason similar to that in her past life.
“I just thought she had great potential. If she could work for Brooks Group in the future, it would be like grooming a talented individual for the company.
“But I didn’t expect her thoughts to change as she grew older. I’ve already cut off all assistance to her, so you can rest assured. I will never have any further dealings with her.”
Maeve looked at Sergio’s sincere expression, but her heart wasn’t moved.
Fortunately, she had obtained some useful information from Sergio.
Good aptitude, a challenging family background, good character, and a positive image–these four criteria seemed to fit Clara superficially However, according to Olivia’s and Bryce’s descriptions, Clara wasn’t that simple.
In the afternoon, Maeve returned to Scott Media, Zayla placed the investigation materials in front of her.
Marve glanced at the file in her hand. Zayla said, “This is Clara’s personal information from Pioneer High SchoolTM Opening the file, Maeve saw a photo of another girl with delicate features. However, she did not resemble Clara.
“Where’s Bryce?”
“He’s at the company. But due to public opinion, the company has given him a few days off.”
“Tell him to come over.
“Okay.”
Marve looked at the photo of the girl again, then glanced at Clara’s personal information. It clearly stated that Clara had a mother and that her parents were divorced.
Marve then took out Clara’s file from the private girls‘ school. When she saw the personal information below, she realized that both Claras

had graduated from the same elementary and middle school. “Could it be that this Clara… is a case of identity theft?”
