Chapter 344 âItâs my way of thanking you for driving me back, Ms. Scott,â Levi said.
âThatâs quite a valuable gift,â
With the Brooks family already under scrutiny, this incident would likely escalate the pressure on Sergio. This marriage might have to end.
Maeve remarked, âMr. Hackett, they say itâs better not to destroy a inarriage. Why are you helping me with the divorce? Is it because of Sheldon?â
Levi set down his cup and tixed his gaze on Marve. Though not intense, his stare made her instinctively lower her head.
Levi was undeniably handsome, with a hint of softness in his features. Maeve felt her cheeks flush and avoided meeting his gaze directly.
Since childhood, she had heard her parents talk about Lævi, Maeve had heard vivid tales from her father about Leviâs swift and decisive actions. Despite his young age, he singleâhandedly upheld the entire Hackett family.
Though the specifics were somewhat fuzzy in her memory, the name Levi was etched in her mind.
In her impression, Levi had always been the formidable figurehead of the family. He was ruthless.
Maeve had never imagined she would one day come face to face with Levi, let alone be alone with him in a room.
Levi calmly replied, âIn business, itâs normal for us to help each other out. My actions are not for anyoneâs sake.â
Levi pushed a contract across the table to Maeve and said, âThis is the agreement for the collaboration between the Hackett family and Mirage Group, spanning over ten years. Take a look and see if there are any issues,â
Maeve was taken aback. She was sure she hadnât misheard.
Levi mentioned Mirage Group, not the Scott Group.
She wondered if Levi knew she was the one behind Mirage Group.
âMr. Hackett.â
Levi cut to the chase. âIâm not one to beat around the bush. You donât need to tell me you have no connection with Mirage Group.
Without complete certainty, I wouldnât present this contract to you.â
Leviâs straightforwardness prompted Maeve to drop any pretense. She asked directly, âWhat kind of collaboration?â
âItâs a longâterm strategic partnership. The Hackett family and Mirage Group will coâbrand, mutually benefitting and opening up the market in Seathburn City for both parties.â
Maeve frowned. She felt skeptical. âDoes the Hackett family need Mirage Group to open up the market for you?â
Considering the Hackett familyâs centuryâold legacy, they didnât need to collaborate with any other enterprise. The Hackett familyâs name alone was enough. Everyone recognized it.
From what Levi said, regardless of how she looked at it, she would be the one benefiting.
Mirage Group would incur no losses, and they would essentially gain the protection of the Hackett family by cooperating with them.
This protective umbrella of the Hackett family was much more valuable than the prestige of the Brooks family.
In the future, no one would dare to trouble Mirage Group.
âWill you sign the contract or not?â Levi frowned slightly, seeming as if he was about to retract the contract.
âIâll sign it! Why wouldnât I sign such a good deal?â Maeve was afraid that Levi would change his mind, so she promptly signed her name on the contract.
Levi smiled as he observed Marveâs demeanor. However, his smile vanished as Maeve looked up. âLater, someone from the Hackett family will discuss the specifics of the work with you.â
âOkayâ
âIs there anything else, Ms. Scott?â
âThereâs nothing else â
