NovelEnglishChapter 172 Sergio's face stiffened.
Maeve remarked, "You wouldn't have calledback just to apologize, would you?" Serremained silent.

He was a prideful person who never gave in to anyone. Admitting he had wronged Maeve was already at big deal for him.
Serfeigned calmness as he said, "I was wrong in this matter. I misjudged you. But Clara's actions weren't that severe. It was just a girl feeling ashamed and desperate, leading her to falsely accuse Sheldon-" But before Sercould finish his words, Maeve chuckled lightly. "So that's it." Serpursed his lips.
"I was wondering why you would apologize toout of the blue. Turns out, it's still about Clara." " "Are you trying to makebeg the Hackett family to forgive Clara?" Serdidn't respond, but it was evident that Maeve had misinterpreted his intentions.
"If that's the case, I can't help you. I'm not influential enough to make Mr. Hackett change his mind." "That's not what I meant.
"Then what did you mean? Or are you suggesting I directly plead with Sheldon?" "I didn't mean for you to plead on her behalf." Serwanted to explain himself, but seeing Maeve's indifferent expression, he stopped speaking. What was there to explain? Maeve wouldn't believe him no matter what he said.

"Where are you going?" Sergio's heart started to race again. "Back to the Hackett Manor?" "My injuries have healed, so I'll be returning to my apartment. The school will soon assign internship tasks to me, and I don't have the tto shuttle back and forth between different homes," Maeve replied, turning to leave.
But Sersuddenly asked, “What's your relationship with Mirage Group?" Maeve turned back and asked, "Sergio, are you grasping at straws? What relationship could I possibly have with Mirage Group? "I simply made a bad deal in the past and sold a piece of land to them. Do you really think I'm the mastermind behind Mirage Group?" Serglo pondered Maeve's words. He stepped forward and asked, "You were at the Hackett Manor tonight and never left?" "You've already asked that question once. Your people should have informed you of my whereabouts. I haven't left the Hackett Manor these past few days."
Serfell into contemplation. He had hoped to see the rumored mysterious Zachary at tonight's/masquerade ball, but he ended up seeing nothing. Sercouldn't discern any clues from Maeve's expression either.
"Instead of doubtinghere, you'd better focus on managing the Brooks Group. I heard Mirage Group recently went public which must have dealt a blow to the Brooks Group. I don't think you have the tnow to indulge in romantic entanglements with me." Serreplied icily, "It's just a newly listed company. Even if it poses a challenge to Brooks Group, it's merely a drop in the ocean." Maeve seemed unconcerned and simply shrugged. "Perhaps.”
However, Serwouldn't have appeared at tonight's masquerade ball if there hadn't been any significant challenges. It could only mean that Serwas stubbornly refusing to admit defeat. As Maeve turned to leave, she heard Sergio's voice from behind.
