Never See You Again

"Yeah."

Upon hearing Marve's answer, Sergio put Maeve down and turned to carry Clara.

Zion rushed forward and witnessed this scene. He immediately noticed the injury on Marve's ankle. She seemed to have gotten hurt while trying to break free from the nylon rope

Without any hesitation, Zion approached Maeve and litted her up into his anns.

"What are you doing?" Marve was caught off guard.

Zion walked as he replied, "You're injured too. Why didn't you say anything?

"My injury isn't important." Marve paused and then said, "Besides, he cares more about Clara."

Anyone could tell that Sergio's favoritism toward Clara had long surpassed that of a regular friendship. She had to take the hint

"You fool" Zion lifted Maeve gently and said, "Hold onto me tighter.

Maeve kept quiet but held onto Zion tighter.

"Hurry! The bomb is about to go off!" Charlie shouted.

Zion held onto Maeve tightly and rushed out of the abandoned building at the last moment. Within seconds, the abandoned building was engulfed in flames after a deafening explosion "Get in the car!" After setting Clara down, Sergio turned to get Maeve, only to see her already in Zion's car.

"Mr. Brooks, let's go... I'm terrified."

Sergio sensed Clara's nervousness, so he could only get into the car first.

Meanwhile, Maeve remained indifferent as she witnessed them both in the backseat. It seemed like she was already used to it happening. Marve remained silent throughout the journey. However, Charlie was unable to hold back, and he asked, "Don't you want to know who kidnapped you?"

"It was Devon," Maeve blurted out the name.

"How did you know?" Charlie was surprised.

"I just guessed," Maeve replied indifferently.

In fact, she had only just thought of Devon. Maeve was well aware of her social connections and couldn't have possibly offended anyone. Her only recent significant move was buying that piece of land for ten billion dollars.

If she remembered correctly, Devon had bought that piece of land in her previous life. She had obviously affected his plans, However, Devon probably didn't know the future value of that piece of land, so he probably had ulterior motives for wanting it.

Besides, Devon was under Zion. That was why Zion could arrive so promptly.

Marve seized the opportunity and said, "Zion, the people under you just kidnapped me. How are we going to settle this?"

"I owe you for this," Zion said indifferently.

Charlie glanced at Zion from the rearview mirror. He was puzzled by Zion's intentions

Clearly, Devon's actions had nothing to do with him. And he had also risked his life to rescue Maeve. How could he still owe her anything now?

Charlle made an abrupt stop in front of the Brooks' residence, Outside the gate, Sergio carried Clara into the mansion without any signs of waiting for

Marve.

"I'll be going now. Thank you, guys," Maeve said as she opened the car door and walked toward the house alone.

"I thought you would stand up for her," Charlie said.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"She's not that delicate." Zion closed his eyes and said, "Let's go."

Inside Brooks Manor, Clara was seated on the sofa, and Sergio was in the midst of applying some medicine to her ankle.

As Marve walked in, Clara immediately stood up and explained, "Mr. Brooks just wanted to help me with my inpry But before Clara cold finish speaking, Sergio Interrupted coldy, "There's no need to explain anything to her "
