Never See You Again

Maeve recalled that the Brooks family’s rise to prominence began with Sergio’s grandfather, Halley’s husband, It was Sergio’s father who continued the legacy after that 

Yet, Sergio had never spoken of his great–grandfather. All that remained in the house was a wooden plaque in his honor. 

“Yes,” Sergio answered. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“So, the Brooks Group has been around for nearly a century?” 

Although the Brooks Group claimed to be a hundred–year–old company, the family’s real ascent to prominence had occurred in the last few decades, marking them as nouveau 

riche of their time. 

This was why Halley had always wanted her sons and grandsons to marry well–bred heiresses from scholarly families. 

“Probably,” Sergio said nonchalantly. “My great–grandparents probably didn’t make their fortune in Seathburn City. I don’t know much about their early days.” 

Marve fell into deep thought as Sergio lit three candles and handed one to her. Understanding his intention, she accepted the candle, prayed, and placed them in the holder “The ceremony is complete. It’s finally fulfilled,” Sergio sald 

“I’m not particularly invested in this,” Maeve replied calmly “I think you should focus on giving your grandmother a great–grandchild.

Sergio frowned and demanded, “Who allowed her to come here? 

“Ms. Hoffman insisted on coming up. We couldn’t stop her.” 

“Yes, Ms. Hoffman heard you were back, Mr. Brooks, and..

Cecilia bit her lip and glanced at Marve standing beside Sergin. Suddenly, she dropped to her knees and clutched Maeve’s arm. 

“Ms. Scott, please, I’m begging you. I’m already involved with Mr. Brooks. Mrs. Brooks Senior even agreed to let me join the family. “Now that I’ve lost my virginity and Sergio wants to reconcile with you, I really can’t go on living like this!” 

Marve looked down at Cecilia’s desperate state and let out a soft chuckle. “Ms. Hoffman, you’re not the first to kneel before me with plewding with someone else.” 

With that, Marve turned to Sergio and said, “This is you 

your problem to deal with.”
