Chapter 664
The reason Maeve held such deep resentment and disgust toward Sergio was entirely his fault. It stemmed from everything that had transpired between them in their past lives.
Sergio was the one who had orchestrated it all.
"Mr. Brooks? Are you okay? Please don't scare me like that..."
Larry was startled by Sergio's reaction. As he was about to call a doctor, Sergio's expression turned strange, and he asked, "Who's Maeve?"
Larry froze at Sergio's question.
"Mr. Brooks? You don't... know Ms. Scott?"
Sergio stood up with an air of calm. "How are the arrangements at Amenam University? Have Clara's grades been released yet?"
"Mr. Brooks..."
Larry was bewildered. "Mr. Brooks, Ms. Stewart graduated a long time ago. She's now the daughter of the Ramoz family. Ms. Scott is your wife. Don't you… remember?
"What nonsense are you talking about? I remember there's a meeting tomorrow, but I promised to celebrate Clara's acceptance. Cancel the meeting."
"Alright, Mr. Brooks…Please wait here. I'll go get the doctor."
Larry's eyes flashed with pain as he turned and left the room. Sergio watched Larry's retreating figure, and his gaze darkened.
"Mavy... I owe you. I'll make it right. I'll set you free."

That evening, Maeve received a call from the food delivery service. She opened the hotel room door to collect her order but was surprised to see a bodyguard standing there.
"Ms. Scott, is there something you need?"
If Maeve remembered correctly, this bodyguard was from the Jefferson family, now assigned to Liam. After all, Liam's men were heavily restricted by Yewridge's strict laws.
The bodyguard said, "Mr. Larson instructed me to take care of any needs you have."
"Alright, go fetch my delivery. It's in the lobby on the first floor. The delivery robot's battery died, and I'm really hungry."
Maybe it was because she had eaten something bad at the restaurant that morning, but she had spent the whole afternoon running to the bathroom and was now starving.
Not wanting to risk eating the restaurant's food again, Maeve opted for takeout.
"Okay, please wait here, Ms. Scott. I'll be right back."
Maeve nodded. As soon as she closed the door, two men emerged from the hallway's corner. They exchanged a look and then approached Maeve's door, knocking.
"Did you forget to ask something?" Maeve didn't suspect anything and opened the door, only to be met by two unfamiliar men.
Before she could react, one of them sprayed something ather face.
