Never See You Again

Marve glanced at Sergio's phone.

Instead of picking up, he hung up the call.

Halley coldly said, "If you can't give me grandchildren as soon as possible, then don't blame me for taking an extreme route."

Sergio remained quiet.

It wasn't the first time Hailey asked for grandkids.

After she left, Maeve finally asked Sergio, "Did you call the school?"

"Yes," Sergio replied briskly.

Maeve said, "You wanted them not to give me an easy way in, right?"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"What? Are you begging me to use my connections to get you into Amenam University?"

Sergio scoffed and looked at Maeve with disdain. "Even if I did use my connections to get you into Amenam University, you wouldn't have been able to graduate anyway."

"I just hope you won't interfere. If I really do get into Amenam University, but I find out that you coerced the principal into taking me out of the list, don't blame me for starting a fight." Marve's tone was just as cold as Sergio's, who narrowed his eyes slightly.

That woman was starting to get bolder as time went by,

Suddenly, Sergio's phone rang again.

He picked up the call impatiently and said, "Speak."

"Mr. Brooks, Madam's results have been released."

Sergio could sense some unease in the other person's voice and frowned. "Olay,"

Maeve sat facing him, and she could tell from his expression that his contacts in Amenam University had arranged for her results to be calculated first. "Wow, Maeve. I never imagined you would dare to cheat on Amenam University's entrance exam."

"I passed, didn't I?" Maeve ignored Sergio's accusation.

Based on his expression, she could tell she passed.

"Sergio, I passed the exam, and you shouldn't care so much about how I did it. I can go along with your little perfect-marriage charade in public, but don't try to meddle with any of my private affairs," Maeve said determinedly

He replied, "I don't have any opinions about what you want to do on your own, but before you go through with it you'd better make sure you can tackle whatever Grandma has in store for you. I can't protect you if she finds out you're going to Amenam University."

"That's fine. At most we'll just get a divorce." The ease with which Maeve said that word only deepened the frown on Sergio's face

She had been talking about divorce an awful lot recently.

However, the collaboration between the Brooks and Scotts was still ongoing, which meant that a divorce would be impossible

Coldly, he replied, "Don't use divorce to threaten me."

Maeve didn't reply.

At that point in time, there was no way Sergio would get a divorce with her.

Her older relatives would never let her get a divorce anyway.

Even though the Scotts still had a little bit of power and prestige, they were just an empty frame that was about to collapse in a few years anyway. If it wasn't for the Brooks family, the Scotts would meet their end even faster.

On the other hand, the Brooks family needed the connections and projects that the Scott family could provide

They couldn't afford to burn that bridge just yet.

No wonder Sergio thought it was a threat.

"So, in order to make sure this collaboration goes smoothly, please do your part to keep it a secret from your grandmother. Don't let her catch any wind of this, or else we'll be forced to get that divorce," Maeve said, looking at Sergio with a wide smile.
