Never See You Again

Maeve asked, “So, you noticed I was deliberately provoking him?”

“It was very obvious,” Zayla replied.

Zayla knew Maeve well enough to understand that she would never say such provocative things without purpose.

Every word Maeve had spoken earlier was carefully calculated to hit its mark. While Conner had maintained a calm exterior, he was likely seething inside.

“Even you could tell I was provoking him, but he was too caught up to see it.”

Maeve’s lips curled into a slight smile as she continued, “Conner wants to take Mason down, and if he can’t get through to me, he’ll look for others to support him. We need to push him to act rashly.”

Zayla frowned. “Ms. Scott, are you planning to set him up?”

“We’ll send our people to visit him tomorrow. Conner’s ego is too strong to handle the humiliation. He’ll soon be scrambling to find allies against us.”

“Won’t he consider the consequences?” Zayla asked.

“I’ve already laid them out for him. If Conner cared about the repercussions, he wouldn’t have neglected Lentimas City. His focus now is entirely on. expanding into Seathburn City and bringing Mason down. He can’t afford to think about anything else,” Maeve explained.

Perhaps the Jefferson family’s wealth had made Conner overconfident. He seemed to believe that even a failed venture wouldn’t hurt them much.

But he forgot that underestimating the opponent was the worst mistake in business. His reckless actions would eventually lead to a severe downfall.

A loud crash echoed through the room as Conner overturned the table.

Bailey rushed in and, seeing the scene, questioned, “Mr. Jefferson, what happened?”

“Gather all our contacts immediately! No matter the cost or how much PR we have to use, I want Mason completely erased from the public eye within a month!” Conner demanded.

Sensing his fury, Bailey cautiously suggested, “Mr. Jefferson, did the conversation with Ms Scott not go well? Perhaps we could try talking to her again. another day..”

“Talk? Maeve never intended to negotiate with me!”

The thought of Maeve’s disdainful look made Conner’s anger flare up. She was just a woman backed by Sergio and Zion, yet she dared speak to him in that sarcastic manner.

His voice was icy as he instructed, “I’ll say it again within a month, use every means necessary, I want Mason gone!” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Jefferson, please calm down. If we go against the Mirage Group now, we…

“Are you suggesting I can’t take them on?” snapped Conner.

“That’s not what I meant. It’s just… Seathburn City isn’t our territory,

Bailey’s attempt to speak was abruptly interrupted by Conner’s sharp tone. “So what? Do you think Zion and Sergio will actually turn against the Jeffersons over a woman?

“Our empire is vast. They have to have some reservations. If it comes to a showdown, I might not lose.”

“Mr. Jefferson…”

Conner shouted, “Enough! Do as I say. If I don’t see results in a month, consider yourself dismissed ”

With that, he stormed out, leaving Bailey stunned.

In all the years Bailey had worked with Conner, he had never heard him speak so harshly. He was momentarily at a loss.

The next morning, in the Mirage Group office, Zayla handed a stack of contracts to Maeve.

“As per your instructions, all our partners have agreed to follow the plan. They will contact Conner and express their desire to sign with the Jetterson family. In return, we’ll compensate them generously.”

Maeve nodded, smiling as she glanced over the signed contracts.

“It would be too obvious il they approached Conner directly. Let the Jeffersons hear about this indirectly and go to our partners themselves. Then, we’ll let them fleece Conner. They won’t need to worry about the rest.”
