Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve)

Chapter 542

Upon hearing Maeve’s words, Larry hesitated briefly,

Maeve reassured him, “Don’t worry, I’m just going to have a quick chat with them. It won’t cause any trouble for Sergio.”

Larry immediately lowered his head and replied, “Yes, Mrs. Brookes.”

Soon, Larry drove Maeve to the Hoffman residence.

The Hoffmans were in high spirits, thrilled about their recent contract. When the housekeeper saw Maeve, she immediately notified the family, and their expressions turned serious.

Noah frowned. “What’s she doing here?!

“Honey, maybe we should just send her away. She’s Sergio’s wife, so she must be siding with the Brooks family!”

“You’re right. Let’s send her off!”

Just as Noah finished his sentence, Cecilia suddenly spoke up, “Dad, Mom, why don’t we let Ms. Scott in?”

“Are you out of your mind? She’s definitely here to plead on behalf of the Brooks family!”

“That’s not true. Maeve repeatedly reminded me to get this contract. Without her, we wouldn’t have been able to negotiate with the Brooks family. She might be here to help us again.”

Listening to Cecilia, Noah nodded. “Alright, let her in. I’m curious about what the Brooks family’s daughter–in–law wants this time.”

With Noah’s approval, the housekeeper quickly ushered Maeve inside.

Seeing Maeve arrive alone, Noah assumed an air of superiority. “Our humble Hoffman family is honored by your visit, Mrs. Brooks. But if you’re here to plead for Mrs. Brooks Senior, there’s no need for further discussion”

“Mr. Hoffman, you’re jumping to conclusions without hearing me out, don’t you think?”

Maeve smiled, and Mia stood up to approach Maeve. “Ms. Scott, I wonder if you remember me. We’ve met before,”

Maeve smiled back, “Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman, you two are well–known as a model couple. We’ve crossed paths a few times.”

Mia nodded and said, “Cecilia told me that thanks to you, she was able to get the contract and not be bullied by the Brooks family. I should thank you.” “No need to thank me. I did it for myself too.”

Maeve then took out a box from her bag. When she opened it, Mia saw a sapphire ring inside. Recognizing its value instantly, Mia’s eyes lit up. “This… This is…”

“This ring is said to be from a century ago, passed down from the royal family. Mrs. Brooks Senior asked me to give it to you.” Maeve noted the Hoffmans‘ reaction. Mentioning a royal heirloom from a century ago certainly piqued their interest.

Mia carefully examined the ring, saying, “This looks like it’s worth a few hundred millions…”

Maeve said, “Mrs. Brooks Senior intends to use this to settle the debt. So, I’m here to discuss a business deal with you.”

Realizing Maeve’s purpose, everyone grew serious.

Noah asked sternly, “So, Mrs. Brooks, are you here to speak on behalf of the Brooks family?”
