Chapter 149 “Mr. Brooks, previously, this commercial street had no signs of activity! Someone intended to sabotage us!

“Yes, everyone knows the Brooks Commercial City is about to open. We’ve spent a fortune on promotion, but now Mirage Group has beaten us “Mr. Brooks, many merchants have signed agreements with Mirage Group. This is a huge loss for us! We’re talking about losing millions!”

The directors clamored at each other.

Sergio sat at the head, rubbing his temples. “Enough!”

As soon as Sergio spoke, the directors around him stopped talking.

Sergio asked coldly, “Who is behind Mirage Group?”

“The owner is very mysterious. We’ve investigated but couldn’t find out who it is.” Larry paused and added, “However, this commercial street is the sewage district that madam auctioned off”

Hearing Larry’s words, the surrounding people were suddenly in an uproat.

“Mr. Brooks, is this true?”

“Yes, Mr. Brooks, if it’s Mrs. Brooks, you can’t let her get away with it!

Sergio was annoyed by the group of old men arguing. He tapped the table and said in a deep voice, “As far as I know, Maeve sold this land long ago, and she has no connection to this commercial street.”

The faint hope that had ignited in the boardroom was extinguished again.

Thinking of Maeve, who hadn’t returned home in three months, Sergio waved his hand irritably.

“Meeting adjourned.”

The directors had no choice but to leave the meeting room one by one.

“Mr. Brooks, the chancellor, called today. He said that Ms. Stewart’s graduate studies have been arranged.” Larry sald reluctantly, “Ms. Stewart mentioned that she wants to invite you to dinner.”

Sergio seemed to ignore him and asked, “What about Maeve?”

“Madam seems to have been busy with her internship recently.”

“Internship?”

“It’s a practical assignment from the university. They require students to inter for a month and then write a thesis report after returning.

“Which company is she going to?

“Well”

Larry found it difficult to speak.

He couldn’t be honest and say anywhere except Brooks Group.

After all, Maeve had been giving Sergio the cold shoulder over the past three months, showing no signs of wanting to mend their relationship “Contact the chancellor and arrange for Maeve to be placed in a company under Brooks Group”

“But, Madam may not agree,”

Sergio glanced at Larry, and Larry realized he had spoken out of turn and immediately lowered his head.

“Then arrange for her to be placed in a company that works with the Brooks family. In any case, I want Maeve under my watchful eye “Yes, Mr. Brooks.”

Larry agreed but felt a severe headache coming on.

He had no idea how he could make this happen.

Meanwhile, Lyra slammed the table and ordered, “She’s coming to my company!”

Charlie slammed the table. “No! Mine!”

Lyra and Charlie locked eyes, sparks of murderous intent flashing between them.

After three seconds of staring at each other, they ultimately conceded and turned to their friend, Zion.
