Chapter 415
“Happy birthday, Maeve,” Sergio said.
“Thank..” Marve’s words trailed off as Hailey’s voice echoed from outside the mall. “What a spectacle to rent out the entire mall!”
As Haley strode in, the surrounding bodyguards cleared a path and encircled the area swillly.
Meanwhile, curious bystanders gathered around to catch a glimpse of the unfolding drama.
Marve’s fleeting smile vanished at the sight of Hailey.
Haley fixed her cold gaze on Marse “Ms. Scott, weren’t you just threatening to divorce Sergio? It’s iconic. Now you’ve talked him into throwing you a lavish birthday bash instead!

As Larry hurried in, his expression turned grave as he took in the scene. No one had expected Hailey to access Sergio’s bank records and find this mall directly.
“Mrs. Brooks Senior, this is a public place. Ferhaps we should discuss this elsewhere.” Larry attempted to intervene, but Hailey shot him a cold glance.
“I see you’re quite the loyal lapdog to Sergio. You’re always on his side no matter what,” Hailey retorted
“L” Larry Jaltered, feeling ashamed, and stepped aside.
Sergio stepped forward and said, “Grandma, this was my own decision. I insisted on celebrating Maeve’s birthday. She had nothing to do with it”
“She had nothing to do with it? Have you lost your mind? You’re spending so much money to please a woman who publicly shamed our family!
“Have you forgotten how she humiliated us in front of the media? She made us a laughingstock!” Halley’s voice dripped with scorn.
“Now that the Scotts are bankrupt, she’s back to seduce you so she can rise from the ashes using your name and wealth. Can’t you see through her? How could the Brooks family produce such a fool?
