Chapter 373

Hailey didn't look like any ordinary old lady because of how she was dressed. As she shouted, many people gathered outside the ward and gossiped with each other. "Who is she? Why did she take away someone's great-grandchild?" "She has such good looks, but how could she do such a thing?" "She's too cruel. How could she do something to a child?" … The people around were criticizing Maeve. Ever since Hailey knew how impactful public opinion was, she had learned how to make good use of it. Lyra, who had gone to take some water for Maeve, came back and saw the people crowding outside the ward. The nurse couldn't even make them leave. Lyra fumed. "What are you guys doing?" Hailey saw Lyra and frowned as she said, "Ms. Jansen, you're a reputable figure in Seathburn City. Are you going to speak up for Maeve too?" "Mrs. Brooks Senior, you know I'm a reputable figure in this city, yet you've brought people here to make a scene. I don't think this is appropriate?" Since long ago, Lyra couldn't put up with how mean Hailey had been just because she was from the upper class. Hailey sneered and said, "Maeve has abducted my granddaughter-in-law who's pregnant. Who knows if this woman is just jealous and wants to harm my granddaughter-in-law's baby?" "Your granddaughter-in-law has been abducted by Maeve? What a joke!" Lyra looked at Hailey and taunted, "I bet you haven't seen how your granddaughter-in-law had brought her new lover around and scolded Maeve. She's so fast at finding another man. You'd better educate her." "What nonsense are you saying? Why would my granddaughter-in-law run away with another man?" The Brooks family's future granddaughter-in-law had run away with another man. If this news were to get out, the Brooks family would be humiliated. "Why don't you find out yourself whether it's true? Why did you come here and lash out at Maeve?" Lyra deliberately mocked, "Oh, I guess you don't know about this yet, Mrs. Brooks Senior. Clara's new boyfriend plans to raise her child like his own. It seems that the Brooks family's great-grandchild will need to change their last name next time." "You—" Hailey panicked because of Lyra's words. How could the Brooks family's bloodline take someone else's last name? As the thought hit her, Hailey released Maeve and left the hospital with her men. Maeve rubbed her ears and said, "You don't have to waste your time with someone like her." "I was just avenging you! What a vicious grandmother-in-law! She always pretends to be loving, but she is so harsh at times like this. It's so sickening!" Lyra stared at Maeve's ears and asked worriedly, "How are your ears? I'll ask the doctor to come over and check on you." "It's fine. She was too loud, so my ears are still ringing a little." Those slaps had been hard, and Maeve couldn't help but think of her past life. If the dream had something to do with her past life, Clara was the culprit who had killed her and her baby. Maeve's eyes darkened. If it was true, she would never let Clara go easily. However, the Jeffersons from Lentimas City would be hard to deal with. Meanwhile, Hailey couldn't find Clara anywhere, but from the surveillance camera footage, she found out that the latter had left with a man. Hailey instantly flew into a rage and rushed to Sergio's office. "Sergio!" Hailey entered the office, scaring Larry. When he saw her, he said to Sergio, "Mr. Brooks, I'll take my leave now." Sergio nodded.
