Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 483

Chapter 483 

Wendy covered her face in disbelief. “Dad! Why are you still defending her? She’s just nothing but a lapdog for Mirage Group! The Scott family is already bankrupt, and yet she still acts so arrogantly! She’s-” 

Another slap echoed as Edward used all his strength, nearly knocking Wendy off her feet. 

Seeing this, Dorothy rushed forward to support Wendy. She addressed Edward, “Mr. Owen, Wendy was just too concerned about the Hackett Group. Please don’t take it personally.

Then, Dorothy turned to Maeve to take her hand affectionately. She spoke softly, “Ms. Scott, we were all part of the trainee team together. You know what Wendy is like, so please excuse her behavior.” 

Anyone with keen eyes could see that Maeve was not to be trifled with. 

Though she was only the general manager of Mirage Group, industry rumors hinted at an unusually close relationship between Maeve and Zachary, the head of Mirage Group. 

Considering the luxury cars that had been picking up Maeve in the past, Dorothy naturally assumed Maeve was involved with Zachary. 

Maeve pulled her hand away from Dorothy’s, leaving her standing awkwardly. 

Seeing this, Edward stepped forward. “Ms. Scott, let’s discuss this upstairs…” 

Edward ushered Maeve upstairs with a flattering smile. 

Wendy felt a mixture of anger and frustration seeing Edward fawn over Maeve. Her face turned bright red with the overwhelming emotions. 

Maeve followed Edward to the 

room. 

After ensuring the conference room door was tightly shut, Edward turned to Maeve nervously and said, “Ms. Scott, Mr. Hackett has approved the trainees‘ departure. I know you and Mr. Hackett must have your reasons, but please, you have to help me!” 

“Mr. Owen, what do you mean by that? What help could I possibly give you?” Maeve feigned confusion. 

Edward hurriedly continued, “I caused the company to lose so much money. Even Mr. Jeffrson’s investment is gone. If Mr. Jefferson comes after me for this…” 

“Mr. Owen, you know that Mr. Hackett and I decided to let the trainees go. You should also know that we don’t care how much money the company loses. 

“So, the chairman’s position is still yours. As for Conner… investment always carries risks. If he comes knocking, you know what to say.” 

At these words, Edward snapped out of his daze. He had been on edge these past few days over Conner’s investment going down the drain, but now he probed a deeper meaning to the situation. 

It seemed that with Brooks Group pulling out their investment, a large number of trainees had defected to Mirage Group, which was collaborating with Hackett Group.
