Chapter 82
Maeve raised an eyebrow. Lyra smiled despite her anger when she heard those words. “Are you really asking who she is? I can’t believe you’d ask a question as stupid as that! Are you really working at Brooks Group? Don’t you even know who Mr. Brooks’s wife is?”
When Raymond heard Lyra’s words, his expression instantly shifted. He felt like something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t even speak a word.
“Oh, right, has Ms. Stewart never told you about that? This is Maeve Scott, the young lady of the Scott family and also the wife of Mr. Brooks. Judging by your actions just now, I seriously thought that you would willingly offend Mrs. Brooks just to defend Ms. Stewart.”
Lyra never liked to beat around the bush, and she always went straight to the point.
Raymond’s expression kept shifting. He had already cycled through several expressions by now.
Maeve said coldly, “I rarely attend gatherings with Sergio, so it’s no wonder that you don’t recognize me, Mr. Jones. Still, I do
remember you, and I’m sure I’ll have an even deeper impression of you after today.”
Maeve emphasized the last few words.
Raymond was so terrified that his legs were giving way. He hastily said, “I should’ve known better! I’m sorry to have offended you, Madam, Madam, I was just carrying out Mr. Brooks’s orders. I didn’t expect you to have already arrived. I-
“That’s enough from you.” Maeve put on an amused smile. “When I get back, I’ll be sure to tell Sergio how hard you worked to carry out his orders.”
When Raymond heard that, he was so startled that he lost all his energy.
He only knew that Clara always followed Sergio everywhere, but he forgot that Sergio actually had a legal wife!
Now, Sergio’s wife was standing right in front of Raymond, but he had said terrible things to her!
“Guards, chase her out.”
Lyra waved her hand casually. This time, Raymond didn’t dare say another word. Hence, the security guards grabbed Clara by the arms, and dragged her away, throwing her disgracefully out of Serenity Hotel.
After Clara was driven out, Lyra began cursing. “Shameless wench! Driving her away was too light a
punishment for her! I hope she gets run over by a car!”
“Goodness!”
Charlie hastily covered Lyra’s mouth. “Lyra, you’re a CEO either way, so please be mindful of the situation when you speak. Just watch your words, alright?”
Lyra glared at Charlie. She seemed to be cursing ceaselessly in silence with the look in her eyes.
Charlie was frightened by that look. He hastily retracted his hand, which was covering Lyra’s mouth.

Lyra was furious. She ruined the housing project release! The Jansens will be the joke of the town.
tomorrow!”
“Nonsense! If anyone dares to mock you, I’ll turn them into a joke instead!”
Lyra finally calmed down a little when she heard Charlie’s words.
“This was all my fault. I didn’t expect that Sergio would ask Clara to come.”
Lyra held Maeve’s hand. “This has nothing to do with you. It’s Sergio’s fault. What is wrong with him? He already has a wife, but he’s still messing around with other women! Damn that jerk! I hope he gets run over by a car too!”
Charlie was getting tired of it by now. “Don’t you have any curses to wish on them aside from getting hit by a car?”
“I am a woman of great qualities! That’s the only curse I know!”
That had to be the funniest joke Charlie had ever heard of this year.
The dinner went on until later in the night when the main doors of Serenity Hotel were suddenly thrown open. The security guards couldn’t even stop the bodyguards in black as they barged in.
Sergio strode haughtily into the hall in his suit, and his gaze was as sharp as a blade. Everyone present held their breath as they turned their attention to him. They didn’t expect Sergio to actually cause a
ruckus here.
Sergio glanced coldly around him. Then, his gaze fell upon Maeve and Lyra.
“Clear out the space.”
Sergio narrowed his eyes into a dangerous look. The people around him left Serenity Hotel upon request.
