Never See You Again

Sergio actually caught a hint of seriousness from Maeve's words.

Night had fallen, and Zion was sitting at his desk. He had just ended a call with Amenam University.

"How did it go?" Charlie asked.

"She passed"

Charlie froze momentarily. "Passed? She actually passed?"

Despite Zion's serious expression, Charlie still wasn't willing to believe it. "Did you call the university beforehand?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"She got in with her own hard work. I had nothing to do with it."

"Oh my god," Charlie gasped. His jaw was almost touching the floor. "That's pretty impressive. I remember reading about her being a foreign languages major back then. That has nothing to do with the exam she just passed."

"She's a language genius. A woman who got her bachelor's degree at 17 years old could never be called unintelligent."

Ever since he saw how Maeve got her hands on that piece of land, he'd known she had the confidence that she could win

Things were starting to get interesting

In the afternoon the next day, Maeve was leaning against the window and reading a book on finance. Allie knocked on the door and asked, "Madam, the stylists are here. Are you free to meet them?""" "What's going on?"

"Aren't you attending your family's gathering tonight, Madam?"

Maeve frowned.

There were so many things going on in the past few days that she had completely forgotten about going back to her family's mansion that night, She massaged her brow.

If the gathering wasn't exclusively held only once a month, she wouldn't have attended

"Okay. Let them come in," Marve said as she put her book down.

Since the Scott family used to be an important family, they kept the tradition of holding a family gathering every single month.

The party was mandatory for anyone who still had the surname "Scott".

"Where's Sergio?"

"Mr. Brooks left rather early this morning. He's probably busy."

Mave took out her phone and called

This time, he picked up very quickly.

Maeve said, "It's the Scott family's monthly family gathering tonight. Are you-"

Before she could finish her silence, he cut her off and said, "I'm busy tonight."

"Okay." She hung up.

Allie said, "Madam, why don't you try telling him that it's the first time you're going back to your family since you got married? If he doesn't go back with you, they might get the wrong idea." Maeve knew very well what she would face if Sergio didn't go back with her.

"Whatever. I'm used to it anyway."

Even if Sergio didn't go back with her, she wasn't scared to face her relatives.

The sky was slowly darkening by the time Maeve's car reached the Scotts' mansion.

Most of the Scotts had already arrived.

The doors opened and the crowd's gaze landed on Maeve, who walked in in a long, teal dress that made her look poised and elegant.

"Look who it is! It's our esteemed princess," Sharon Quinn said. She had always been mean and spiteful. "Why isn't Sergio with you? Didy't I warn that it would be much better to marry into the Quinn family? The Brooks clearly don't care about you."
