Talented Hairess A Rose with Thorns Novel novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 

By the afternoon, the news of the CEO of Mirage Group refusing to meet with the chairman of Brooks Group had spread throughout the industry. 

Maeve had Charlie leak this information internally, painting the new entrepreneur as disrespectful to a prominent figure in Seathburn City. 

For someone like Sergio, being rejected by Mirage Group was like rubbing his face in the dirt. 

Everyone in the industry was calling Mirage Group’s CEO audacious. After all, it wasn’t just anyone they had refused, it was Sergio himself. No one else in Seathburn City would dare to disrespect Sergio like this. 

Sergio sat grim–faced in the chairman’s office at the Brooks Group, browsing the news online. 

One of the headlines which read, “Chairman of Brooks Group humiliates himself by requesting a meeting with CEO of Mirage Group, which was tragically rejected,” was trending 

Everyone was curious about the mysterious backer behind the suddenly rising Mirage Group who dared to defy Sergio so strongly. 

Larry noticed Serglo’s sour expression and said, “Mr. Brooks, this news must have been deliberately leaked. I’ve already instructed people to investigate, and I believe we’ll have results soon. 

“This is clearly related to Mirage Group,” Sergio mattered. 

He had only wanted to meet this Zachary to see who he was. But the other party completely surprised him and tumed it into a trending topic. 

Using the reputation of Brooks Group to boost Mirage Group’s fame was indeed an interesting move. 

“Mr. Brooks, we need to take down this nonsense as soon as possible to avoid affecting the public’s perception of us.” 

Brooks Group was the top enterprise in Seathburn City. That was a fact mown to everyone. 

But now, this trending topic could lead many to believe that the mysterious Mirage Group was even more powerful than the Brooks Group, which wasn’t ideal 

“Immediately suppress the trending topic and organize a business banquet.” 

“Do you want to invite Mirage Group?” 

“No. All companies can participate except Mirage Group!” Sergio’s voice was cold. 

He wanted the other party to know who held absolute power in Seathburn City’s business world. Businesses had to support and suppress each other to progress together 

Mirage Group might have wanted to stand out, but he intended to isolate them. 

As the sky darkened, Maeve laid flat on the chair at Mirage Group while Charlie seemed a bit anxious, 

“Sergio’s quite ruthless by inviting all companies to participate except Mirage Group. It’s clearly a strategy to isolate us,” 

Maeve smiled faintly. “It’s not about isolation. It’s about taking sides.” 

Maeve was well–versed in Sergio’s tactics. Even before she sent Charlie to obtain the trending topic, she had thought of this outcome. Sergio always carried himself with an air of superiority. 

Zion, who was standing nearby, asked, “Do you have a plan?” 

“He’s making moves, so we will too
