Never See You Again

"Grandma, you shouldn't have come today." Sergio frowned deeply.

On an occasion like today, Hailey coming over wasn't a big deal, but Clara should never have been brought along. "How could I not come on such an important day of collaboration between the Brooks family and the Scott family?"

Hailey glanced at the Scott family executives present. Their lofty demeanor made her uncomfortable.

Hailey had always been like this. She lived in the glory days of the Brooks Group, believing that no one would dare to disrespect her and that no one would dare to harm the Brooks family. But times had changed. Nowadays, the Brooks family was no longer the only dominant family in Seathbur City.

seem appropriate for today's occasion, Mrs. Brooks Senior," someone said.

Bringing this kind of woman here doesn't ser

"Ms. Scott is still here, Mrs. Brooks Senior. You're being disrespectful to the Scott family," another voice chimed in.

"This isn't a cooperation at all. It seems like you're here just to humiliate us."

The surrounding murmurs grew louder.

Despite this, Hailey remained arrogantly standing there. She seemed oblivious to any wrongdoing.

Maeve understood that Halley's actions were merely attempts to assert dominance over both the Scott family and herself.

But what she was doing was too disgraceful. With the reporters present, tomorrow's headlines would likely be about the Brooks family bullying the Scott family. Moreover, with Hailey bringing along Clara, who was pregnant, the media backlash would be overwhelming.

The negative impact of this would not be easily mitigated in the short term.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Brooks family sincerely intends to cooperate with the Scott family without any intention of humiliation," Larry spoke up promptly.

Before Larry could finish speaking, Bryce said slowly, "I also believe that the Brooks family certainly didn't mean to insult the Scott family. With a family of four here to celebrate our collaboration, it's evident that the Brooks family values this partnership and warmly welcomes us, the Scott family."

Bryce then turned to Maeve and said, "Maeve, don't you agree?"

The media cameras turned toward Maeve. Maeve furrowed her brows, and her expression somewhat indifferent.

Maeve blandly remarked, "Since Ms. Stewart is pregnant, she should be at home resting. There's really no need for such a fuss."

Everyone present was aware that Sergio and Maeve were not yet divorced.

However, Halley arrived with the pregnant mistress. Now, Maeve and the mistress were facing each other directly, making the situation truly scandalous.

"Clara is the future daughter-in-law of the Brooks family, so it's only natural for her to be here on such an occasion," Hailey declared.

Her words immediately drew everyone's attention, and the flashes of the cameras almost blinded them.

Maeve raised an eyebrow. She observed Clara's smug expression as if she had found a protector. Maeve couldn't help but find it amusing. Despite the impending disaster, Clara seemed utterly carefree.

Maeve couldn't help but wonder where Sergio had squandered all the money he had spent on Clara's upbringing. In her past life, she had lost to a woman like Clara, which was truly a great shame in her life.
