Never See You Again

Chapter 481 

“Sergio, you know damn well your selfish stubbornness is hurting Maeve. She’s been under fire from all sides these past few days, and that old hag in your family is still targeting 

her. 

“Even though you’re fully aware of the situation, you still choose to sit idly by,” Zion said. 

Sergio frowned deeply as he was stung by Zion’s words. 

He retorted icily, “Even if I am stubborn and selfish, or watching her take this heat, I’m not sitting idle like you. Where were you when Mavy got into all that trouble?” 

“Maeve doesn’t need a man to save her. She’s got her own mind, and I’m sure she won’t be hurt. But you? You’re the reason she’s in this mess right now.” Zion’s voice grew colder as he rose from his seat. 

“I will not show mercy to anyone or anything that harms Maeve. Sergio, today, you either sign it or…” 

Inside the room, several black–clad bodyguards closed in on Sergio as Zion’s threat hung heavy in the air. 

Larry stepped forward. “What’s this, Mr. Spencer? Do you think you are still abroad? You think Mr. Brooks is someone that can be easily threatened?” 

“I’ve said it before. I have ways to handle anyone who threatens Maeve’s safety. Mr. Brooks, why don’t you guess what I’ve been up to lately?” 

Zion’s smile held a hint of amusement, and Sergio instantly caught his meaning. 

“You’re the one who cut those crucial financial ties with the Brooks family, aren’t you?” 

Those key business partners and overseas suppliers suddenly stalled their dealings and withheld their payments. Without Brooks Group’s backup funds, those operations would’ve collapsed long ago. 

Sergio had thought it was due to the recent impact of the Brooks Group and the Mirage Group’s incident, but he hadn’t realized Zion’s hand in it. 

“In this industry, every company’s got some dirty laundry to handle. Mr. Brooks, you know what the Spencer family used to do, and you know what I used to do, too,” Zion said knowingly. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sergio knew exactly who Zion was. He tightened his fist, as it was rare for someone to threaten him face to face. 

“Zion, have you ever thought about the consequences of crossing me?” Sergio asked coldly. 

“Sergio, there’s no such thing as an eternal king in Seathburn City. Now that I’m back, I won’t make life too easy for you,” Zion replied with a smirk. 

Seathburn City connected trade routes far and wide. It was a commercial hub with resources unmatched by neighboring cities like Lentimas City. 

Sergio had long suspected Zion’s true motives for coming to Seathburn City, and now Zion’s ambitions were laid bare. 

“I wonder if Mavy would still accept you If she knew why you were really here in Seathburn City.” Sergio’s remark wiped the smirk from Zion’s face. 

Sergio tossed the pen into the trash, picked up the divorce agreement, and handed it to Larry behind him. 

“As for the divorce, let Maeve discuss it with me in person. You’re not qualified to sit here and mediate between my wife and me.” 

Zion’s smile vanished at the mention of “wife“. 

Moments later, the room was filled with Zion’s men swarming in from outside. 

Zion spoke again, “Sergio, I’m not here to negotiate with you. If it weren’t for Maeve, I’d have acted today without wasting any time.” 

“You’re welcome to try,” Sergio replied fearlessly. In Seathburn City, he still held sway over Zion. 

Sure enough, hurried footsteps echoed outside moments later. 

Richard squeezed through the crowd, saying, “Oh! I heard there was a crowd disturbance here. Are you both alright? I’ve kept things under control to ensure no harm comes to either of you!” 

Richard’s words earned him a cold glare from Zion, but he quickly lowered his head and pretended not to have seen. 

He dared not offend Zion, nor could he afford to offend Sergio. There was nothing to gain if these two men really went at each other. 

Richard asked, “Mr. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks Senior is looking for you. Shall I… escort you back?” 

Sergio agreed and turned to leave. Just as he was about to walk away, he turned back to Zion. “Maeve is my wife. As long as I don’t sign the papers, she’ll always be my wife,”
