Never See You Again

Maeve frowned in discomfort as the lights flashed in her eyes.

Noticing her discomfort, Bryce released her hand and approached a nearby reporter. He covered the camera lens with his palm and spoke a few. words with his voice lowered.

Upon hearing Bryce's words, the photographer's expression shifted abruptly, and he hurriedly backed away.

When Bryce returned, Maeve asked with a frown, "What did you say to him just now?"

Bryce smirked, a glimmer of mischief flickering in his formerly restrained demeanor. "I told him that if he kept shooting, I might smash his camera publicly and let his rival media publish it as front-page news. "That way, not only would his camera be destroyed, but he'd also lose the headline to his competitor. Basically, he'd be out of a job." Maeve was rendered speechless by Bryce's words. She had always suspected Bryce had a darker side, and now it seemed she was right. Meanwhile, Sergio's frown deepened as he observed Maeve and Bryce's close interaction.

On the other hand, Larry, having received news from the security, turned pale and hurriedly informed Sergio, "Mr. Brooks! Mrs. Brooks Senior and Ms. Stewart are here!" "Who allowed them to come?" Sergio's gaze tumed cold.

Larry explained, "Even Allie couldn't stop Mrs. Brooks Senior. She insisted on bringing Ms. Stewart along, and there was nothing they could do."

Clara didn't appear pregnant, but she deliberately wore a tight-fitting dress that accentuated a slight protrusion in her waistline. She had a slender figure, making the bump quite noticeable. When Clara caught Maeve's eye, she couldn't help but cast a triumphant glance, as if declaring herself the winner. Maeve's response was a cold smirk.

Only Clara would think that Sergio was such a coveted catch.

Hailey's rare appearance at a formal

"Sergio, how could you not invite me to such an important occasion for the Brooks and Scott families?" Hail event, especially with Clara by her side, immediately drew media attention. Sergio frowned deeply, while Clara tactfully interjected, "Mrs. Brooks Senior, of course Sergio wanted to invite you, but he was worried about your health. He's being considerate." Hailey chuckled happily. "You have such a sweet tongue."

Half of the guests present were from the Brooks family and the other hall were from the Scott family.

The executives from Scott Group were infuriated to witness Hailey bringing a pregnant mistress to such an occasion.

Maeve and Sergio hadn't officially divorced yet, and this seemed like a blatant attempt to embarrass the Scott family. Clara's arrogant demeanor only fueled their resentiment. Swirling her wine glass, Maeve observed the scene with amusement.

Bryce glanced at Maeve beside him and asked, "Was this your doing?"

"I just added fuel to the fire," Maeve replied. "But I didn't expect Mrs. Brooks Senior to

so audacious to actually bring Clara here."

Hailey had been influential in the past, but age had dulled her senses. It was shocking that she would dare to bring Clara to such an event.
