Never See You Again

Henry frowned and asked, “What do you mean?” 

Larry explained, “Mr. Brooks and Ms. Scott are already divorced. Their act just now was to stabilize Brooks Group’s recent developments. 

“I’m sure you both know that the Mirage Group has been pressuring us a lot lately, which has led to a decline in Brooks Group’s financial standing. So, Mr. Brooks and Ms. Scott’s reconciling helps stabilize our public image. 

“After all, the Scott family has already faced bankruptcy. If they divorce now, outsiders will see the Brooks family as heartless for abandoning a wife during hard times. 

“Moreover, Ms. Ramo’s child.. wasn’t conceived under the most honorable circumstances. This could tarnish the Brooks family’s reputation.” 

As soon as Larry finished his words, Clara’s face fell. “Larry, what do you mean by “wasn’t conceived under the most honorable circumstances‘?” 

She was sensitive about her past as a mistress, and though Larry’s words were vague, the implication was clear. 

At this moment, the Brooks family couldn’t have accepted a mistress who had just lost herchild. 

The best way was for Sergio to stay with the original spouse to maintain their public Image and rely on the appearance of a loving marriage to aid the Brooks family’s economic 

recovery 

Henry cut off Clara’s response and said, “Nathalie, let’s be reasonable here.” 

“Dad.” 

“Mr. Brooks, Tunderstand your concerns, and you did all this for Brooks Group. Well then, since you and Maeve are already divorced, when do you plan to marry my daughter?” 

Sergio remained silent, but Larry answered, “In six months. Mr. Brooks and Ms. Scott’s contract expires in six months, so Ms. Ramoz will need to wait a bit longer.” 

“Why? The title of Mrs. Brooks should have been mine from the start!” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Shut up!” Henry angrily reprimanded Cara 

Seeing Henry’s anger, Clara dared not speak further and stepped aside. 

Henry stood up and said, “Very well, six months it is. I hope you won’t disappoint me, Mr. Brooks.” 

Sergio nodded. “Of course.”

He glanced at Larry, who stepped forward to deliver the cooperation agreement to Henry. “Although Mr. Brooks hasn’t formally engaged Ms. Ramoz, the cooperation agreement is signed.

“From now on, the Ramoz and Brooks families will be business i 

Henry nodded in satisfaction at the signed agreement Collaborating with the Brooks family had been challenging, but their support meant he wouldn’t need Conner’s assistance. 

“Don’t worry, Mr. Brooks. I’ll ensure my daughter behaves. You won’t face any issues from us,” Henry sald 

“That’s for the best,” Sergio replied. 

Henry pulled Clara to leave. Though reluctant, Cara had no choice but to follow Henry outside 

“Dad! Why are you making me leave? I need answers from him!” 

Clara tried to confront Sergio but was immediately stopped by Henry. He shrugged off her hands. 

“You need answers? The situation is clear, Clara. Use your head,” Henry retorted. 

“But” Cara’s face turned sullen. 

Sergio had promised her an engagement, but now he was going back to his word. Not only that, he was back with Marve! How could she ever have accepted this? 

“Dad, I can’t stand Maeve becoming Mrs. Brooks. You have to help me! 

“I’m warning you, don’t act rashly. This matter is settled! If you go looking for trouble, don’t expect me to show any mercy!” Henry warned sharply. 

Henry’s demeanor showed none of his earlier fatherly warmth. 

Clara’s face was drained of color as Henry threatened, “If you still want to be a Ms. Ramax, follow my instructions. Otherwise.. 

“Dad.” 

Henry said sternly, “Don’t call me Dad! You are only my daughter when we’re in front of others. But when we’re alone, remember your place! Seeing Henry’s ruthless side, Clara felt a deep sense of regret. She regretted confessing her identity to Henry at Sergio’s suggestion.
