Never See You Again

Hailey knew precisely how to play her cards, as she was confident that Maeve wouldn't cause any trouble at such a critical time.

Sergio stared at Maeve for a long time and was at a loss for words. Finally, he said, "I'll have someone bring your stuff back tomorrow. With Grandma here, you can't stay elsewhere."

"No need. I won't be staying long," Maeve replied. She was exhausted and only wanted to rest.

Instinctively, Sergio grabbed her arm and asked, "What do you mean by that?”

"Sergio, does that really matter now? You know what I mean," Maeve responded coldly.

"Do you have to act this way?"

"What do you think?" Her tone was icy.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Sergio fell silent.

Maeve continued, "I'm not blaming you, but you did cross the line with Clara during our marriage. That alone is enough for a divorce.

"Even if it goes to court, I have valid reasons. I assume you would also know how much you'd have to pay In a settlement once we divorced."

Previously, Sergio must have never expected she would demand a divorce one day. He hadn't transferred any assets, meaning he'd stand to lose significantly if they split, especially since he was at fault. "Believe it or not, that incident with Clara was a mistake. I cut ties with her immediately after."

"You defended Clara at Tomkins Corporation. Was I imagining things?"

Sergio wanted to explain that he was only trying to provoke Maeve, but he couldn't find the words to do

Maeve continued, "Sergio, let it go. Your favoritism for Clara has always been undeniable. Regardless of what reasons you come up with now, I will still divorce you."

"Just give me three more months."

"What?"

"Give me three months to prove that you're the only one I care about."

"Sergio, forget it."

"If I can't prove it in three months, or if I can't win you back, I'll willingly hand over everything from the Brooks family to you."

Maeve was taken aback at his words.

Sergio anxiously gripped her shoulders, his voice earnest. "I'm willing to stake everything I have over

these three months. If I fail to win you back, I'll agree to the divorce and give you all the Brooks family business and assets." Maeve had never witnessed such determination in Sergio's eyes. He wasn't joking.

"Sergio, you're out of your mind."

Even after the three-month deadline, she had no intention of reconciling with Sergio. This was a bet he was bound to lose.

"I acknowledge my mistakes and the misunderstandings I've caused you. Please give me a chance to be a better husband. I really love you."

For a moment, Maeve saw a glimpse of the young Sergio she once knew from his eyes.

Perhaps he had long forgotten, but she still remembered the boy who held her hand and stood by her through difficult times.

"Alright, I'll give you this chance," Maeve said indifferently. "But mark my words, Sergio. No matter what you do, you will still lose in the end."
