Never See You Again

The terms in the divorce agreement were different this time. 

Firstly, the Brooks Group would have provided Maeve with a substantial divorce settlement, but under strict conditions. 

To protect the company’s image, they had to keep their divorce confidential and publicly claim they had reconciled for six months. 

In addition, Maeve had to appear in public with Sergio occasionally and act affectionately. After the divorce, neither of them could have any financial entanglements. 

Lastly, Maeve was not to defame the Brooks Group. To avoid unnecessary public speculation and maintain both parties‘ images, neither was allowed to remarry within a year. 

Maeve looked at the divorce agreement in her hand and couldn’t help but laugh. “Sergio, are you kidding me?” 

“I’ve already signed the divorce agreement. These terms are my conditions. If you comply, I’ll give you ten billion dollars as a divorce settlement,” Sergio said firmly. 

Maeve had known Sergio well enough to understand that this had been his final compromise. There would be no further negotiations. 

“What about Clara? Weren’t you supposed to announce your engagement with her today?” Maeve asked. 

“I never said I was going to announce my engagement to her today,” Sergio replied. 

His reply made Maeve understand something. Sergio intended to announce their reconciliation at today’s event, not his engagement to Clara! 

Maeve frowned. “Sergio, what exactly are you trying to do?” 

“You don’t have to worry about my plans. Just tell me whether you agree or not.” 

The divorce terms were clear. After a long pause, Maeve finally said, “Alright, I’ll sign.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Even if it were just for appearances, they would still be divorced in essence. After signing the divorce agreement, Maeve stood up. 

After a moment, Sergio looked at the signed document and said, “I’ll send you the contract once the legal formalities are completed.” 

“Alright.” 

As Maeve prepared to leave, Sergio asked abruptly, “How do you plan to explain this to Zion?” 

“He’ll understand,” she replied. What she really wanted was a divorce. A six–month show was not much for Maeve to lose. 

As Maeve left, Larry entered with a confused look. “Mr. Brooks, Ms. Scott…” 

“She is Mrs. Brooks,” Sergio corrected as he handed the divorce agreement to Larry. “Go and process it.” 

Larry took the divorce agreement and was stunned upon seeing the terms. “Mr. Brooks, this… how is this…” 

He stared at Sergio incredulously, but Sergio removed his glasses and coldly instructed, “Get ready. Let’s head to the front hall now.” 

Everyone in the hall awaited Sergio and Clara’s arrival. Henry was particularly elated among the crowd, but Conner’s sudden entrance disrupted the atmosphere. 

Everyone knew about Conner and the Ramoz family’s heiress’s love story. Now, with Clara about to marry someone else and the CEO of the Jefferson family arriving uninvited, it was sure to be a spectacle. 

“Mr. Jefferson, Mason’s here,” Bailey whispered. 

Conner frowned at the sight of Mason. Meanwhile, Henry’s expression darkened. 

Conner ignored Mason and directed his gaze to Henry instead. He stepped forward and said, “Congratulations, Mr. Ramoz.”
