Chapter 383
“Oh please, Serena can’t stir up any trouble. Zion doesn’t even bother to look at her,” Charlie stated.
Lyra was feeling irritated and kicked Charlie. “It’d better be that way!”
He hopped around in pain. “Ouch! What did you hit me for, Aunt Lyra?”
As soon as Maeve stepped into Brooks Group, she attracted a lot of attention.
“Isn’t that Ms. Scott? What’s she doing here?”
“Don’t you get it? She confronted Mr. Brooks in public before. Now that the Scott family’s bankrupt, of course she’s here to come crawling back to him!”
“I thought she’s all high and mighty. But in the end, she’s no different! Turns out she’s here to get back with Mr. Brooks after all!”
Those words slipped into Maeve’s ears, but she chose to ignore them.
With the recent news about the Scott and Brooks families‘ ongoing feud as well as the Scott family’s bankruptcy, her presence at Brooks Group was bound to stir gossip.
However, that wasn’t her concern right now.
Larry had been waiting on the first floor early in the morning
Upon seeing Maeve’s arrival, he immediately stepped forward to greet her. “Madam, Mr. Brooks is waiting for you in the conference room.
“Don’t call me Madam anymore, just call me Ms. Scott from now OIL
“But..” Larry hesitated, then said, “Mr. Brooks
“I won’t make things difficult for you. Just stop addressing me like that whenever you see me.
“Yes… Ms. Scott.”

“The Scott family’s banlaupt, and I assume you’re in urgent need of money,” Sergio replied.
She chuckled. “You asked me to meet up with you just to give me money?”
“All of the Scott family’s shareholders have withdrawn their shares. Those shares are worth at least five billion. Was Zion helping you with this?
“That’s none of your business,” Maeve replied.
“Legally speaking, you’re still my wife.”
Sergio regained his composure.
“You don’t need to worry about the Scott family’s affairs, Mr. Brooks. I came here this time to ask…”
Maeve gathered her thoughts and lifted her gaze to meet Sergio’s deep eyes. Then, she averted her gaze and continued, “I wanted to ask if you were the one who arranged for Clara to be sent to Conner,”
While Conner might reign supreme in Lentimas City, here in Seathburn City, it was still Sergio’s turf.
Clara was carrying Sergio’s child now. If Conner wanted to take her away, he still needed Sergio’s consent.
“I let her go, but I didn’t know she would…” Sergio paused and hesitated for a moment. He then asked, “Why are you asking about this?
Marve hesitated, struggling to find the right words.
She had been racking her brain on the way here but couldn’t find the right approach,
She couldn’t just blurt out that she was reborn and wanted to figure out some things from her past life, could she?
After a moment of silence, she then asked, “Did you ever have feelings for Clata?
“Never,” Sergio replied timely
“Perhaps I once thought of her as a kind and ambitious girl lacking in social experience. As her investor, I chose to invest in her to maximize protus However, never had feelings for her,” Sergio said, cutting Marve oft
