Chapter 83
"Sergio, what do you mean by that?"
Lyra was about to step forward when Charlie stopped her.
Women could settle the scores among themselves, so men should settle the scores with men as well.
Charlie stepped in front of Lyra and said, "Sergio, the Jansens are in charge today. You should know the rules by now, right?”
Ignoring Charlie, Sergio looked at Lyra instead. "Were you the one who chased Clara out?"
"Yes, it was me. What are you going to do about it? Get revenge on me for the sake of your mistress?"
Lyra's voice was filled with disdain and disgust. Sergio grew angrier as he said, "Clara got into an accident, and she's in the hospital now!"
Lyra was stunned when she heard Sergio's words.
Clara got into an accident?
Charlie frowned.
Sergio said coldly, "If the worst happens to Clara, you'll be a murderer!"
Maeve said, "I was the one who drove her out. If anything happens to her, I'll take the blame."
When Sergio heard Maeve taking the initiative to shoulder the blame, his gaze turned even colder.
"Don't be in such a rush to take the blame. If something happens to Clara, you won't be blameless either way."
Sergio didn't intend to play nice with Maeve at all.
"Sergio! Don't you know who you're talking to? Maeve is your wife! You rushed all the way here to accuse someone for the sake of a mere mistress! What sort of a man are you?" Lyra was so pissed that she gritted her teeth in fury.
But Sergio didn't see anything wrong with his actions at all.
They had done something wrong, and that was all there was to it. Sergio was the one who had asked Clara to attend the dinner, so now, he had to ensure that Clara was given justice.
At that moment, claps sounded somewhere nearby. Maeve looked in the direction of the sound to see Zion walking out in his leather shoes. He was staring straight at Sergio as he said with slight mockery, Wow, what a wonderful show of accusations! I like that."
When Sergio saw Zion, his gaze grew sharp as well.
"How dare you ruin the event for the sake of a sole woman, Sergio? This is an insult to my family!"
Zion stood in front of Maeve, shielding her as he said, "She was already driven out, so we have nothing to
do with anything that happened to her after that. If you insist on seeking justice, feel free to try."
Zion curved his lips, continuing, "Still, here's some advice for you. Justice doesn't exist on my turf."
The two men were exuding a terrifying air about them, but Maeve could only feel a sense of security as she stood behind Zion. It was something she had never experienced before. "Don't forget, Seathburn City is my territory, not yours, Zion."
Sergio's words were arrogant, but he was right.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Zion was an outlaw with immeasurable assets overseas, but he might not be able to win against the local authority. In Seathburn City, Sergio called the shots. "Oh?"
Raising an eyebrow, Zion said, "You can't say for sure whether Seathburn City is really yours or not, Sergio."
