After Divorce

“What about Sergio? Why is Zion targeting him?” Maeve questioned. 

She remembered that in her previous life, Zion had arrived in Seathburn City and clashed fiercely with Sergio within a few years. 

Their rivalry was well–known by all, and it was clear Zion saw Sergio as his staunch adversary. It would be able to say Zion wasn’t focused on Sergio. 

Maeve clenched her fists and asked, “Is it—” 

“No,” Levi interrupted, seemingly anticipating her question. 

He continued, “Zion–only has suspicions, but no concrete evidence. The Brooks family is not one of the original four major familles, and their rise was unexpected.” 

“But the Brooks family has been established for a century too,” Maeve pointed out 

“I’m not particularly sure, Levi responded. 

“However, according to family records, the Brooks family isn’t listed among the four major families. Their prominence began with Sergio’s grandfather, reached its peak with his father, and Sergio has brought the family to its current level of power. The Brooks family are formidable.” 

Finishing his words, Levi coughed and said, “Could you get me a glass of water?” 

Maeve quickly handed him a glass of water, realizing he had been speaking for quite some time. 

“So, do you mean Zion believes the Brooks family is behind his parents” deaths? Does he think they’re after the supposed treasure of Seathburn City, or are they trying to advance their position?” 

20 years ago, the Spencers were at their peak, while the Brooks had yet to become the leading family in Seathburn City. Removing the Spencers leader, Bryan, and his unborn child, Zion, would have made a significant impact 

“Perhaps Zion thinks so,” Levi said calmly. “Even though I believe the Brooks family is not connected to those events, to uncover the truth, Zion must be at the pinnacle of Seathburn City. Only from there can he being the culprits to light. 

“Anyone who could stage a car accident and kill Zion’s parents must be someone of considerable skill. They shouldn’t be obscure in Seathburn City” 

It was no wonder Zion suspected Sergio Maeve would likely have the same doubts herself. 

“I’ve shared everything I know about the four major families. Do you have any more questions?” remarked Let 

“Given our ancestors were once so closely connected, why aren’t we familiar with each other?” she asked. 

With a faint smile, he responded, “I’ve met you before, but you were too young to remember” 

“You’ve met me? When?” 

“Perhaps when you were just born,” Levi explained. 

“The Hackett family has always preferred to stay in the background, only making appearances when necessary. Your ancestor, the Scott family, had a strained relationship with the Fosters, so there was little interaction. Your father and Mr. Spencer did have dealings while you were still unborn.” 

Maeve nodded at his words. “That explains why I don’t remember.” 

As the youngest in her generation, many events had happened before her time, 

“It’s getting late. I’ll send you home,” Levi remarked as he turned his wheelchair. 

Noticing his struggle in moving it, Maeve naturally stepped behind him. “Let me help” 

“Thank you.” 

As they exited the villa, Marve quipped, “Do you really believe there’s a treasure in Seathbum City?” “Perhaps 

Do you truly not know who killed my parents?
