Never See You Again

Sergio followed Larry's gaze.

The red color stood out from the crowd

Maeve wore a wine-red gown. Every expression she made seemed to stir everyone's hearts, whether it was a slight furrow of her brows or a smile.

The media's cameras were all focused on her, making her seem like a superstar walking on the red carpet,

Maeve?

It took Sergio a moment to recognize her.

Mave had always preferred light makeup and simple dresses before. This was the first time Sergio had seen her dressed like this.

Clara's complexion didn't look good. It was her first time sering Marve

In contrast to Marve's allure, she seemed too plain. She was like an underage student who wasn't mature enough.

"Marve looks so beatiful."

There was a subtle undertone of jealousy in Clara's weder.

On the other side, Marve had already noticed Sergle and Clare. She walked straight toward them.

Clara had thought that Marvo was aware of the situation and would feel embarrassed or surprised upon seeing her and Sergio together

However, Maeve acted as if she already knew everything. Her face was composed with a calm smile.

"Mrs. Brooks is here. Then, who's the lady beside Mr. Brooks?" a media personnel whispered.

Marve reached out and held Sergio's hand. She then extended her hand toward Clara and said with a smile, "You must be Clara, the student that Sergio had mentioned, right? Hello, I'm Maeve. You can call me Mrs. Brooks."

Clara awkwardly withdrew her hand that had been holding Sergio's ann before shaking Marve's hand.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Brooks."

The title "Mrs. Brooks" felt like a thorn in her throat.

Maeve said, "I heard Sergio mention that you plan to go abroad for your studies in the next two years?

Clara glanced at Sergio discreetly.

Sergio said, "Clara excels in her studies. She plans to study abroad this year, but she's a little timid. So, I've brought her here today to broaden her horizons."

Yes, this time, it was just to let Clara see the world.

At this moment, Sergio hadn't completely fallen for Clara yet. It was only after Clara had retured from studying abroad that Sergio had truly fallen love with her.

But even now, Sergio had already brought Clara with him to various events, to the extent that everyone in Seathburn City knew that Sergio had feelings for a female university student

But none of this mattered to her now.

She had come to the auction not to compete with Clara for Sergio's affection, but for a more important purpose.

"Then, Serglo, please take good care of Ms. Stewart. I'll head inside first."

Maeve let go of Sergio's arm

Sergio was taken aback

He hadn't expected these words to come from Marve

By the time he came back to his senses, Maeve had already entered the venue.

Sergio frowned

Since when had the once rebellious Maeve become so accommodating?

Maeve sat in a relatively inconspicuous comer. The entire auction was attended by the highly-renowned and influential people of Seathburn City.

If she remembered correctly, there was a plece of wasteland that no one had wanted at this auction.

It was eventually bought by a small business owner, and it later became extremely valuable due to the upscale developments nearby. This piece of land could also be described as "prime real estate". This also led to the transformation of an unknown small businessman into a commercial magnate.

Since she had already decided to leave Sergio, she should also look for a better life for hersell.

On the other hand, Sergio looked for Marve in the verse after he sat down Clara, who was sitting next to him, said, "Mr. Brooks. Do you really want me to bid later?

Sergio's thought was pulled back by Clara's voice. He replied, "Yes, I trust your judgment."

Clara blushed.

She had studied finance in school for so long, just for this day.

She had shaded fine in school for so long, just for this day.

Sitting on the second floor. Maeve watched as Seplo and Clara talked and laughed together. She just silently looked away,

Clara dhe KOENE

ne capabilities. This was one of the reasons why Serglo had eventually been attracted to her.

In her previous life, Clara had caught Serpia's eve by choosing a piece of prime land for him.

But in reality, that piece of land was already valuable, especially with the frooks real estate nearby.

Clara had resed the price without any hesitation, using Sergio's money.

Consequently, the value of the land around the Brooks" real estate had also increased. In any case, Sergio didn't lose out in the end.

Even without Clara, Sergio would have acquired that plece of land.

Indeed, as the action began, Clera started bidding.

The first three prime pieces of land were all won by Clara in one go.

Sergio subside Clara like a gondian angel.

"The New Moon Project in Seathburn City has a starting bid of one billion dollars"

Two billion dollars."

As the auction progressed, Maeve spoke up for the first time, and the audience gasped.

Sergio Frowned

What was this woman up to?

Clara said quietly, "This piece of land isn't worth mach. Marce is probably going to lose money with this two-billion-dollar bid."

Sergio took out his phone and sent a text message to Mave

"Marve, what are you doing?"

Maeve lowered her head to glance at the message on her phone. She ignored the messages.

Two billion dollars, going once.

"Two billion dollars, going twice...!

"Oh my, Maeve is insane! Two billion dollars for such a worthless piece of land?"

Serglo was very shocked as he looked at Macve, who was sitting on the second floor.

"Three billion dollars."

Beside him, Zion uttered a number.

Charlie nearly flipped the table.

Charlie gritted his teeth as he exclaimed, "Zion! Are you crazy too?

Maeve frowned. She wondered who the fuck would try to snatch such a worthless piece of land from her. But when she looked up, she saw Zion opposite

Marve vaguely remembered that Zion was involved in an illegal industry. When did he start dabbling in real estate development?

"Four billion dollars!" Maeve calmly raised the bid.

Downstairs, Sergio furrowed his brows even deeper. He typed out a few words on his phone. "Maeve, shut up!

This time, Maeve simply switched off her phone.

"Five billion dollars."

Facing Zion's deliberate provocation, Maeve was furious as she gritted her teeth

Alright, he wanted to compete with her, huh?

Maeve directly said, "Ten billion dollars!"

"She's crazy. This woman is definitely insane! Charles exclaimed.

Downstairs, Sergio stood up. Even he, who was usually composed, couldn't figure out Maeve's intentions.

In his point of view, as plece of land wasn't even worth one billion dollars.

And yet, Marve was willing to pay ren billion dollars for it?

Zion looked at Marve's Indifferent expression. He smiled and made a gesture that he would give up.

"Ten billion dollars, going encP......."

"Ten billion dollars, going twice."

"Sold!"

As the gevel fell, Maeve felt relieved.

The land was finally secure, but she had unnecessarily spent an extra eight billion dollars.

The land was finally secure, but she had unnecessarily spent an extra eight billion dollars.

It was all Zion's fault!

Maeve glared at Zion from across the room.

Charlie nudged Zion and said, "Hey, Maeve is glaring at you. If I were her, I'd be itching to kill you too!"

Zion raised his eyebrow. He seemed unconcerned.

Downstairs, Clara tugged at Sergio. She said, "Mr. Brooks, Maeve is going to make you lose all the money. Sergio coldly responded, "She raised the bid herself. No one is going to take responsibility for her." Claim Bonus For Free Every Day>>

Te to this little incident, Sergio was distracted, his mind focused on Marve. He completely ignored Clara's performance.

When the auction ended, Maeve was about to leave, but she ran into Serglo and Clara,

"Mave, if you don't understand real estate, don't come here to cause trouble," Sergio said without showing any respect

Clara chimed in, "Yeah, Marve. Your actions have caused Mr. Brooks to lose ten billion dollars,"

Maeve chuckled and then said. "Ms. Stewart, you've misunderstood. This piece of land is what I intend to buy. What does it have to do with Sergio?

Clara blurted out, "But that's ten billion dollars.."

"It's just a measly ten billion dollars. For us, it's just pocket change, not to mention for Ms. Scott. Charlie's voice came from a distance as he said, "Am I right, Ms. Scon?"

it for fun."

Maeve caught a glimpse of Zion beside Charlie. She calmly responded, "It's just ten billion dollars. I bought it i

Clara's face Instantly turned pale.

In Sergio's eyes, ten billion dollars was nothing. But in Maeve's eyes, it was worth even less!

Clara was embarrassed, and her face fished red. She felt like a fish out of water, she had beharred so ignorantly in front of these people!

Out of nowhere, Zion asked, "I heard that Mr. Brooks has recently gotten married So, is this young lady by his side Mrs. Brooks?"

Clara instantly blushed. She nervously denied, "N-No."

"She's my beloved. Maeve," Sergio said as he pulled Marve close.

Maeve tried to shake off Sergio's hand, but she was tightly held by him.

Since eacher, he could tell that Zion's gaze had been fixed on Marve

Men understood ocher men best. He could see through Zion's intentions with just one glance.

"So, Ms. Scott is Mrs. Brooks. My bad, I saw Mr. Brooks chatting and laughing with this young lady at the venue earlier, so I thought that she was Mrs. Brooks," Charlie said.

He tapped his forehead and continued, "Then, this young lady must be Mr. Brooks' secretary. No wonder she was bidding for him."

Marre couldn't help but laugh

Although she no longer cared about Clara and Sergio, hearing Charlie's words still made her secretly enjoy it.

Meanwhile, Clara's face turned very pale.

Seeing this, Sergio instructed, "Larry, escort Clara home."

"Yes, Mr. Brooks."

Charlle grinned as he said, "Well, we won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."

After Charlie and Zion left, Maeve finally shook off Sergio's hand. She said, "Stop holding my hand!"

Sergio didn't expect Mave to shake off his hand.

In the past, Maeve was always so eager to get close to him, to the point that she would become a tagalong.

But tonight, Maeve seemed completely different from before

Sergio said coldly, "If you're trying to get my attention, you don't need to do it this way."

Maeve was rendered speechless by his words.

She wanted to retort but didn't know where to start.

After all, considering how much she used to care about Sergio, she would probably have really done something like this to get his attention.

But the problem was, she wasn't like that now!

Maeve was annoyed as she casually replied, "Whatever you think."

"What's your relationship with Zion?"

"There's nothing between us. I don't even low him."

Sergiu said coldly, "Marve, regardless of your relationship

dip with him, remember, you're Mrs. Brooks. It's best for y

your distance from other men"

status and keep

Hearing Sergio words, Maeve chuckled. She responded, "Sergio, can you practice what you preach before demanding it from others? Did you consider your status and respect me when you brought Clara here

today?"

"I had asked Larry to notify you today."

"Did you? Was it to tell me not to come?

Sergio fell silent

Indeed, this was his fault.

Marve continued, "Even Zion, an outsider, thought that Clara was Mrs. Brooks, not to mention others. If you truly like Clara, then let's get a divorce."

"Maeve, have you lost your mind?"

Sergio frowned. Although he didn't like Marve, it didn't mean that he wanted to divorce her

After all, this was a marriage of convenience. It wasn't as easy as just saying that they wanted to get a divorce to end it..

Seeing Sergio's serious expression, Maeve knew that he wasn't considering a divorce right now. It was all because of the Scott family behind her.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
