Never See You Again

Hailey froze. She was unable to believe what she was hearing. The evidence had come from Sergio?

“That’s impossible! You’re just trying to stir up trouble!” she shouted angrily.

“Mrs. Brooks Senior, you’re a respected figure in the industry. If this leaks out, you could face a lawsuit! Think about how your reputation would fall!” Noah knew exactly how to hit Hailey where it hurt.

Hailey’s high standing in the industry was largely due to her having a supportive husband, a successful son, and a well–behaved grandson. But now that Sergio wasn’t backing her up, she had no choice but to concede.

Hailey slumped onto the couch as she was in disbelief that her beloved grandson would one day turn his back on her..

Allie quickly supported her and addressed the Hoffman family. “Mrs. Brooks Senior isn’t feeling well and needs to rest. If you don’t leave, I’ll call for help!

“We’ll leave, but what about the debt…?”

“It’s just a billion dollars. Do you really think the Brooks family is short on cash? Mr. Brooks will definitely support Mrs. Brooks Senior! If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police and have you all arrested!”

Allie, having seen her share of tough situations, spoke with unwavering confidence.

Noah took a deep breath and said to Cecilia, “Cecilia, let’s go. If the Brooks family doesn’t give us a fair response by tomorrow, we’ll go straight to the media and expose everything! Let’s have this old hag end up in jail!”

Cecilia nodded fiercely as she was filled with hatred for Hailey. She had once considered Hailey as her own grandmother, but Hailey had betrayed her. To manipulate Cecilia, she even arranged for her to be raped by a 30–year–old driver.

Cecilia followed Noah and Mia out, leaving Halley and Allie alone in Brooks Manor’s living room.

Allie patiently said, “Mrs. Brooks Senior, it’s just a billion dollars. If this gets out, your reputation-” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Shut up!” Hailey snapped and pushed Allie away.

“Do you think I don’t know you’ve been conspiring with Maeve behind my back? You ungrateful traitor! After all these years, how could you side with outsiders?”

Allie remained silent under the harsh rebuke. While she had followed Maeve’s instructions a few times, she had always been faithful to Hailey’s orders. Recently, however, Hailey’s actions had become increasingly unreasonable. It was only a matter of time before her behavior would harm the Brooks family.

Allle quickly added, “Mrs. Brooks Senior, I’ve been with the Brooks family for decades and watched Mr. Brooks grow up. I’m only thinking of the family’s best interests.

“Mrs. Brooks may have made mistakes, but she’s a good person and has always respected you…

“While Ms. Hoffman might have had her delusions, she served you for a long time. After all, you had someone ruin her reputation. How could she not hate you?”

“That’s enough! If not for your many years of service, I would have fired you already!”

Halley, still fuming, ordered, “Call Sergio now and check on the hospital. Once he wakes up, tell him to call me immediately!”

One billion dollars… Hailey wasn’t going to let Cecilia get away with it. In Hailey’s eyes, the Hoffman family wasn’t even a big enterprise. Having them be of use to her was already a stroke of luck for them.

“Yes, Mrs. Brooks Senior”
