The meal had been uncomfortable for them, and they were eager to end the gathering as soon as possible. "Now that Mrs. Brooks has spoken, let's disperse," one of them suggested.
Several executives rose from their seats. Serglanced at Maeve, noting her composed expression as if the incident hadn't affected her.
Despite the lingering gazes, Serstood up and took Maeve's hand before heading toward the exit.

Once outside, Seropened the car door and gestured for Maeve to enter before following suit.
Cecilia watched as Serleft without waiting for her before hurrying after him. However, she found the car already in motion with Marve inside Cecilia's expression soured.
Serhad simply left her behind.
"Speople might think that dressing likewould catch Sergio's eye." Clara emerged from behind Cecilia, her face smug with satisfaction.
Cecilia adjusted her expression and asked in confusion, “Do I know you, miss?" "Don't perform those clumsy acts in front of me. Lettell you, even Maeve once had to mimic my style just to catch Sergio's eye. Now, you're just an imitator," Clara retorted with disdain.
Clara was utterly disdainful because she had just thought of the perfect plan.
She was determined to becMrs. Brooks. Neither Maeve nor the woman before her would be able to disrupt her scheme.
"Is that so? But it seems like Serdoesn't take you seriously either. There's no need to bring up the past here." Cecilia smiled and twirled her hair. "After all, you're just someone who relies on Serto get ahead, whereas I'm a genuine lady. I won't even consider you as a competitor because that would diminish my worth." After expressing her thoughts, Cecilia descended the steps and drove away in her million-dollar luxury car. Clara's expression darkened after Cecilia's provocation. She clenched her fists, and her eyes glinted with hostility.
"Alright, you want to compete with me? Then, I'll make the both of you disappear!" Meanwhile, Maeve watched Serspeeding and remarked, "Sergio, are you crazy? Why are you driving so fast?" The car was already going over 120 miles per hour, and Maeve couldn't understand why Serwas so upset. Serimmediately pulled the car over by the side of the road after Maeve's remark. He slammed on the brakes so hard that Maeve lunched forward, nearly colliding with the windshield.

Sergio's expression darkened. His tone was key as he replied, "Did you cause today's events?" "I have no idea what you're talking about," Maeve replied. She avoided his gaze.
"How is it that Clara has coincidentally showed up at the bistro? And how did Cecilia know that I was bringing you here for dinner?"
Sergio's voice was low and intense. "I may have turned a blind eye to your actions, but I'mendt foolish. What are you up to? Are you trying to pushtoward them, or."
"You're overthinking it,” Maeve said indifferently. "It's just a coincidence. I don't know anything about Clara being there, and Cecilia's appearance was due to Mrs. Brooks Senior's instructions. It has nothing to do with me,"
Observing Maeve's cold demeanor, Serlowered his voice and said, "If you're trying to assert gurudentity in e front of everyone and suppress Clara, I'll be pleased because it means that you're still willing to acknowledge that you're Mrs. Brooks." Chapter 246 Chapter 246 X
