Never See You Again

Chapter 159

Clara sobbed softly, tugging at Sergio's sleeve. "Sergio, It's all my fault for not closing the door properly Don't blame Mr. Hackett. If we involve the police, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone." Clara's tears flowed heavily as she spoke.

Seeing Clara's act, Sheldon was itching to step forward and take action. However, Maeve restrained his wrist, shaking her head.

Sergio only felt heartache for Clara. He glanced coldly at Maeve and Sheldon. "Why? Do you want to make this matter public?"

"According to Clara, Sheldon merely barged in and didn't do anything to her. Calling the police is just about clarifying this matter. With both parties sticking to their own stories, it's obvious that one side is lying." Maeve remarked.

Maeve's gaze shifted toward Clara with a hint of mockery "Could it be that someone is afraid, so they dare not involve the police?"Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Clara's sobbing abruptly ceased. She stared at Maeve and said, "Maeve, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that I'm lying?"

"Whether you're lying or not, we'll find out through an investigation."

Sheldon immediately stated, "I have no objections.

Clara's heart trembled. "Sergio, the Hackett family is powerful and influential. I'm afraid-"

"Are you afraid that Sheldon will use the Hackett family's Influence to threaten the police? Ms. Stewart, you can rest assured. You still have Sergio by your side," Maeve said with a cold laugh. "With Sergio protecting you, they wouldn't dare to favor Sheldon."

Sergio furrowed his brows, clearly hearing the sarcasm in Maeve's tone.

He gently patted Clara's back and whispered, "Listen, I'll make sure you get justice. They won't dare to act recklessly if I'm around."

Clara's expression changed slightly. She wanted to say something, but Sergio had already instructed Larry to call the police.

"Yes, Mr. Brooks."

Clara's heart pounded rapidly. She never expected the situation to escalate like this.

Maeve was about to lead Sheldon out when Sergio suddenly spoke up, "Why are you heading out so quickly? Are you two planning to go out and collude on a story now?"

Maeve felt a surge of anger upon hearing Sergio's words. She released Sheldon and turned to Sergio.

"Fine. Then we'll just stay here and wait for the police to arrive. That way, you won't think we're outside planning our strategy to accuse Clara."

"We?"

Sergio chuckled. Great, she and Sheldon have already become a 'we'l

"Ignore him!" Sheldon coldly glanced at Sergio and pulled Maeve to a nearby chair.

Sergio stared at Sheldon holding Maeve's hand and silently clenched his fist.

"Sergio... I'm scared..." Clara bit her lip, looking pitifully at Sergio.

Sergio's gaze softened as he sat beside Clara, but his eyes remained fixed on Maeve and Sheldon in the

comer.

Before long, the police arrived. Maeve recounted everything that happened to the police.

After the police had a basic understanding of the situation, Maeve turned to Sergio and asked, "Mr. Brooks, did I say anything wrong?"
