StarNovelChapter 213 The sky darkened as Maeve drove back to the Brooks Manor. As expected, Hailey was already seated on the couch, looking rather displeased.
"Mrs. Brooks Senior, where's Sergio?" Maeve anticipated Hailey to summon Seras well, but it appeared Hailey wanted to speak with her alone.
"Seris still in a meeting. I asked him to cback later," Hailey replied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaeve remained silent.
"Allie mentioned that you haven't returned hmuch, Hailey began, her tone tinged with accusation.
"Even when you do cback, it's only for a short while before you're off again. Why so? Are you looking for another place to live?" Maeve smilingly answered, "I felt like I shouldn't stay at hall the time, so I found a job." "Nonsense!" Hailey's anger flared.
"You're the heiress of the Scott family and Mrs. Brooks! You should know your place. How can you simply get a job and expose yourself like this? If others find out, it would disgrace both our families!" Maeve remained unfazed. Hailey was born with a silver spoon. She had never worked a day in her life, but her wealth was enough to last several lifetimes.
So how could someone like her possibly fear poverty? In Maeve's past life, she believed that with the Scott family's support marrying Sergio, she'd be set for life. But the Scott family was unreliable, and Serwas even worse.
Maeve had experienced destitution once and vowed never to let it happen again.
She pulled up a chair and sat across from Hailey. Hailey was taken aback by her audacity.
With a smile, Maeve replied, "Mrs. Brooks Senior, there's no need to be upset. I'm just working for my family's company and managing saffairs. There's nothing shameful about it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Right now, your concern should be for Sergio. After all, with Mirage Group around, the Brooks group had lost several projects recently. The company must be losing a considerable amount of money. My job is to ensure we're better provided for." -Halley frowned. "What do you mean? Mirage Group is just a small company. I've never heard of it in all my years! How could it squeeze out several of the Brooks' projects? "Even if this small company is momentarily successful, we can bear the losses to the Brooks family! There's no need for you to work to support us." Maeve smiled faintly. "Of course, I understand. The Brooks family is wealthy and powerful. But a loss of a few tens of billions isn't a big deal, is it?" "What did you say? Tens of billions?" Hailey thought she had misheard.
Chapter 213 Maeve pretended to act normal. "Yes, tens of billions. Weren't you aware, Mrs. Brooks Senior?" Hailey panicked. She stood up, her body trembling with anxiety. "H-How could we lose so much money? What happened?" Maeve explained calmly, "I heard that the Mirage Group developed a commercial street and disrupted the plans for Brooks Commercial City. As a result, the Brooks Commercial City opened to little interest.
"Additionally, several companies that had been collaborating with the Brooks Group pulled out and partnered with Mirage Group instead. They had launched multiple projects in the sindustry as the Brooks Group's..."
After observing Hailey's reaction, Maeve continued with a smile, "Mrs. Brooks, Senjor, you see. Seathburn City is only this big. The market can only support so much.
"Previously, Serhad dominated the market, but now Mirage Group has taken a large share. It's no surprise that the Brooks Group's losses are substantial "Plus, I might have been conservative when I estimated tens of billions. The losses could be even greater.
from now."
Hailey's face was drained of color. Just then, the door opened. Serwalked in, and Hailey rushed up to him and slapped him. "Tell me! How much money has the company lost?" Serfelt the sting of the slap and glanced at Maeve. Seeing her faint smile, he knew she was the one who had leaked the news.
