Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 

“But I think Zion has feelings for you.” Phillip frowned and advised Maeve, “Mavy, take it from me and stay away from men. You never know what kind of dangers you might end up in” 

“Alright,” Maeve replied absentmindedly. 

Her thoughts were elsewhere as she glanced at the corridor outside the window. 

She watched as Zion moved around her room and looked at her childhood photos on her desk. 

“Zion!” Maeve rushed in and quickly removed several photos from the table. 

Among them was a wedding photo of her and Sergio 

Zion’s gaze turned cold and his voice was tinged with bitterness. “You even framed your wedding photo and placed it on the table. Do you really love him that much?” 

“It’s not ” ‘Magwe didn’t know h 

how to explain it to him. 

This was from when she and Sergio liad just gotten married. 

They hadn’t had a wedding ceremony, so there were hardly any photos of them together. So, the wedding photo with the red background was the only one she had. 

She was in love with Sergio back then. Thus, she cherished the photo dearly and placed it away carefully. 

However, it felt like a cruel joke. 

“It’s getting late, I’m heading back.” Zion remained expressionless. 

Although he always hid his anger, Maeve could sense his frustration this time. 

Outside the door, Philip observed Zion’s stoic demeanor and sensed something amiss. He hurried in and asked Maeve, “Maeve, did you two get Into an argument?” 

“It’s nothing serious, Uncle Phil. It’s late, and I think you should rest,” Marve replied wearily and rubbed the space between her eyebrows. 

“What about Mr. Spencer?” 

“He’ll… probably be fine.” 

After all, the photo had been there a long time ago. However, it had nothing to do with her now. 

Zion couldn’t possibly be angry. He would get over it eventually. 

Maeve couldn’t get a wink of sleep that night. 

Early the next morning, word of the Brooks family’s retaliation against the Scott family began circulating online. 

Maeve woke up to the commotion downstairs, where Sharon was already in a fury. 

“I’ve been telling Ms. Scott about this. She should’ve just smoothed things over with Mr. Brooks. Now look! Mr. Brooks is going against the Scott family! I don’t think the Mirage Group will be able to save us anymore!” 

Maeve sauntered down the stairs, looking unfazed amidst the chaos. 

Sharon couldn’t contain her frustration upon seeing her. “Ms. Scott, you seem rather relaxed! Do you have any idea what kind of mess we’re in right now? 

Maeve brushed off Sharon’s frustration. “Why are you so worked up, Aunt Sharon? It’s not like we didn’t see this coming. Sergio making a move against the Scott family was bound to happen.” 

“If it weren’t for you, Sergio wouldn’t think of going against the Scott family! Don’t think you’re invincible because you have Zion to back you up! He’s just toying with you, and has no intention of marrying you!” 

Sharon picked up a newspaper and continued, “Look at this! Zion’s fiancée is in town! Like you even matter.” 

Maewe’s hand froze in mid–air as she reached for her tea as her gaze fell onto the photo in the newspaper. 

The photo showed a woman throwing herself into Zion’s arms as the headlines read, “Zion’s first love returns, they’re set to tie the knot soon. 

“Ms. Scott, you don’t think Zion is genuinely into you, do you? Serena is an overseas socialite. She’s beautiful, wealthy, and most importantly, single! Did you see what the news said? She’s Zion’s first love! Sharp exclaimed. 

Maeve remained expressionless, setting her tea cup down gently. “Aunt Sharon, I think you’re misunderstanding something. Zion and I aren’t as close as you think we are. Moreover, what does his first love’s return to Seathburn have to do with me?
