Chapter 180

Marve ended the call. 

Approaching her, Mason asked, “What’s wrong? 

“You and Bryce stay and meet some senior figures in the entertainment industry here. I have another matter to attend to, and I need to go now,” she explained. 

“But can you just leave this event?” 

Glancing over at Sergio, who was deep in conversation with Bryce, Maeve replied, “I’ll slip away quietly.” 

with that, she downed a glass of red wine, handed the empty glass to Mason, and deftly lifted her gown to slip away unnoticed. 

Mason wanted to call out to her, but she was too swilt In a blink, she vanished and reached the entrance of Brooks Estate. 

15 minutes later, a sports car sped toward her Maeve arrived at the estate’s gates, where Lyra stepped out of the car hastily. 

“What’s going on? What’s with the sudden reconciliation?” Lyra questioned. 

“Yeah, Maeve, did Sergio threaten you? Don’t worry, he wouldn’t dare touch you with Zion around,” Charlie chimed in. Maeve responded, “He didn’t threaten me. We made a deal. 

“What kind of deal? 

“Thad an agreement with Sergio. We’ve already signed the dhorce papers, and now we’re pretending to be a loving couple to repair the Brooks family’s image.” Upon hearing this, Lyra exclaimed angrily, “Sergio is quite something! He’s playing his cards right, knowing the divorce is final and using you for his benefit” Charlie frowned. “Maeve, have you thought about how you’ll explain this to Zion?” 

Charbe and Lyra had observed the bond between Maeve and Zion, and it was clear they were a couple. However, now that Maeve agreed to publicly show affection for Sergio, Zion would dismantle the Brooks family if he were to find out 

“Thaven’t figured out how to tell him, but it’s my only chance to get a divorce.” 

Maeve knew Zion had discussed divorce with Sergio before, but Sergio would never back down. Both of them were powerful figures who wouldn’t yield. She had to handle it her way. 

“Hey! What’s going on?” 

In the distance, guests were fleeing from Brooks Estate 

Maeve and the others turned their attention to the commation, noticing guests streaming out of the estate, and the once well–lit estate had suddenly gone dark, 

Chaos erupted at Brooks Estate 

Spotting Zaylanishing out, Maeve hurried over and grabbed her arm, demanding, “What’s going on? 

“Ms. Scott, you’re here, Zayla parted. 

“What happened?” 

The estate was intact when Maeve left. She wondered how things had gone awry so quickly, 

“Somebody entered through the back door. It looks like a robbery!” 

“A robbery? 

With Brooks Estate’s state–of–the–art security, a robbery seemed impossible. 

Maeve tried to approach to take a look but was restrained by Zayla. “Ms. Scott, it’s dangerous! You can’t go there! 

“Where are Bryce and Mason? Are they out yet?” Maeve asked 

“They’re safe, probably lost in the crowd. But Mr. Brooks and the others are still inside..” 

Maeve stared at the entrance where guests had fled in droves. She moved to go in when Lyra pulled her back. 

“Mary, stop! With so many security guards at Brooks Estate, nothing could possibly happen.” 

Chapter 502 

“How could there be robbers at Brooks Estate out of nowhere?” 

Maeve was aware of the formidable security measures at Brooks Estate. Besides the 20 security guards, there were numerous maids and bodyguards, 

With the presence of the Brooks family’s memorial hall, the estate itself was fortified with state–of–the–art security doors at both front and back entrances, making it nearly impregnable. 

She wondered who this skilled intruder would be, to breach from the back door of Brooks Estate. 

“The police should arrive soon. Let’s not escalate the chaos here. Mavy, come on, let’s go,” urged Lyra, her voice tinged with fear as she grasped Maeve’s arm 

“Don’t call the police. I’m going in,” Maeve replied, furrowing her brow. 

“Maeve, are you out of your mind?” challe exclaimed, staring at her in disbelief. 

Marve glanced toward the entrance of Brooks Estate. If her suspicions were correct, the intruder inside was exactly who she suspected.
