Never See You Again

Chapter 123

Marve's works made Sergio freeze. Maeve pulled Lyra beside her and said, "Let's go." Lyra followed Maeve out while shooting Sergio a cold glance.

itally, Maeve didn't want to confront Sergio, but she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Sergio..." Clara gently tugged at Sergio's sleeve. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"What's with the bulletin board? Sergio suddenly asked.

Clara's expression shifted slightly, but she quickly put on a pitiful look and explained, "Someone at school was jealous of Maeve's beauty, so they spread rumors about her. Maeve misunderstood and thought it was me who did it, so...

Sergio frowned deeply. He had never been interested in Maeve's school affairs, let alone known about rumors at school concerning her. Maeve had never mentioned them to him.

"Sergio, I swear it wasn't me. I've explained everything to Marve, but she still insists it was me.."

Sergio fell silent.

Clara bit her lip fearing that Sergio wouldn't believe her. She went on, "The director had already investigated the bulletin board incident, and I was proven innocent. But Maeve is biased against me and refuses to accept the truth."

Seeing Clara sobbing quietly with her head down, Sergio couldn't bring himself to say anything too harsh. He just patted her head and said, " Go back to class. I've already discussed your study abroad plans with the chancellor.

Your grades have been declining recently. However, you can still study abroad as long as you regain the top position in the department in the

next exam.'

As Sergio was about to leave, Clara was taken aback. She hugged Sergio from behind and whispered, "Sergio, 1-1 don't want to study abroad anymore. Can I stay?"

Sergio frowned and turned to look at Clara. "Studying abroad is a serious matter. Tell me why you want to stay?"

Clara looked at Sergio, speechless. She used to want to study abroad because she firmly believed that even if she went abroad, Sergio would always have her in his heart. But now, she feared losing him to Marve if she left.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"I just... prefer to pursue a Master's degree here," Clara finally said

Sergio paused before saying, "I'll speak to the chancellor about your decision. But the postgraduate entrance exam for this year has already ended, so you'll have to wait."

"I understand. I'll study hard." Clara's face flushed. She was willing to give up on studying abroad as long as she could stay by Sergio's side.

After seeing Clara off, Sergio left the campus. Larry waited in the car before asking, "Mr. Brooks, are we heading back to the company?"

"How did the investigation from last time turned out?" Sergio asked.

"Well, it appears that Ms. Stewart's two friends spread rumors about Madam being an escort because someone had posted defamatory messages on the bulletin board at Amenam University about." Larry paused briefly, contemplating his next words. Then, he decided to send Sergio the photos he had on his phone.

The images displayed snapshots of the bulletin board, posted on the campus forum. The caption read: "The beautiful campus belle turns out

to be an escort! Allegations of using connections to enter Amenam University as a graduate student_"

The images on the bulletin board were appalling. Larry could see the veins on Sergio's forehead visibly throbbing, indicating his anger.

"Who did this?"

"The director had conducted an investigation at the school following the incident. It turns out it was orchestrated by a girl named Jenny, who happens to be Ms. Stewart's close friend." Sergio frowned.

Larry said, "Mr. Brooks, this matter might be related to Ms. Stewart. Do you wish to continue investigating?"
