Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 458

Upon discovering Maeve'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.

Levi remarked, "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."

Ten billion?

She frowned at Levi's request. "Mr. Hackett, that's daylight robbery."

While trainees could be profitable, ten billion dollars was no small amount. Achieving that kind 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."
