Chapter 159

Clara sobbed softly, tugging at Sergio’s sleeve. “Sergio, It’s all my fault for not closing the door properly Don’t blame Mr. Hackett. If we involve the police, I’ll be too ashamed to face anyone.” Clara’s tears flowed heavily as she spoke.

Seeing Clara’s act, Sheldon was itching to step forward and take action. However, Maeve restrained his wrist, shaking her head.

Sergio only felt heartache for Clara. He glanced coldly at Maeve and Sheldon. “Why? Do you want to make this matter public?”

Clara’s sobbing abruptly ceased. She stared at Maeve and said, “Maeve, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that I’m lying?”
