Never See You Again

Upon discovering Marve’s intricate plan, Levi’s lips curled into a faint smile. 

“If Conner finds out you’re playing tricks on him and swindling his investment funds, he won’t let you off easily,” he commented 

“It’s only a few hundred million. The CEO of the Jefferson family shouldn’t hold a grudge over such a sum, should he?” Maeve replied. Despite her nonchalant words, she had long anticipated that Conner would eventually see through her scheme. 

Although Hackett Group and Mirage Group had business dealings, Conner had no idea she was the CEO of Mirage Group. Naturally, he wouldn’t know that she was behind the transfer of trainees from Hackett Group, effectively sabotaging the project. 

However, secrets don’t stay hidden forever. Maeve’s open boasting in front of Conner would surely make him suspicious. 

Nonetheless, she was ready to face Conner head–on. 

Leviremarked, “Training those trainees cost me a fortune” 

“Isn’t hundreds of millions of dollars enough to cover that training?” Maeve questioned, taking a seat across from him. “I promise, once these trainees debut under Mirage Group, Hackett Group will receive its due rewards.” 

“As a businessman, I’m only interested in numbers,” Levi stated, extending his hand. “I want this figure.” 

Maeve asked, “A billion dollars?” 

“Ten billion, within two years.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Ten billion? 

She Drowned at Levi’s request. “Mr. Hackett, that’s daynght cobbery.” 

While trainers could be profitable, ten billion dollars was no small amount. Achieving that land of pure profit would require creating the top and most lucrative group in the industry. 

“I have faith in you. Especially since you’ve taken our carefully selected trainees. 

“Fine Ten billion it is,” Maeve agreed, shaking Levi’s hand to seal the deal 

Meanwhile, at Jefferson Manor, Connor was reviewing the documents Bailey had delivered, his eyes filled with coldness. “Are you saying the trainee project is ruined?” 

“Yes, Mr. Jefferson,” Bailey responded. 

“News from Hackett Group Indicates that due to some issues with the show, all the trainees are quitting. It seems Mason is spearheading the charge. 

“Hackett Group is now facing substantial penalties to the production team. And most critically, Sergio withdrew his investment yesterday, so our funds are likely already..” 

Conner’s eyes narrowed as he recalled Marve’s bold words. “Mare, what aclever move.” 

Maeve? How could it be her? The Scott family has long been bankrupt,” Bailey said, puzzled. 

How could a bankrupt heiress cause such losses for the Jefferson family? The trainee project was a significant investment. How could she manage to sabotage it so quickly? 

“Mr. Jefferson, could it be Mason? Is he trying to oppose you?” Balley suggested. 

“Mason? When that women left with him, they didn’t take a penny. He couldn’t even afford his own penalty fees. How could he persuade everyone to leave? Fool!” Conner snapped. 

Bailey stammered, “Y–Yes, I hadn’t considered that.” 

“Macw is far more cunning than she appears. Investigate everyone connected to her. I want to know who she’s been dealing with and who else is supporting her, besides Zion and Sergio, Conner commanded. 

Conner had already been keeping tabs on Zion, noting that he hadn’t undertaken anything significant recently. It seemed unlikely 

ly that the trainee project was connected to him. 

Aside from Sergio’s abrupt withdrawal, he hadn’t aided Maeve either. This implied that someone else was hacking her from the shadows. 

Conner had underestimated Maeve all the while. She was the one truly formidable opponent.
