Chapter 166
“Mr. Levi said there’s a masquerade ball tonight and asked Mr. Sheldon to go in his place. But Mr. Sheldon’s identity must stay hidden. Nobody can know the Hackett family is there,” The bodyguard explained.
“How coincidental…” Sheldon looked at Maeve in confusion.
Earlier that day, Maeve had just mentioned wanting to attend this ball. He wondered what was so special about this ball that even Levi took it seriously. Maeve was also puzzled.
Levi rarely attended such events, let alone asked Sheldon to go in his place. Why did Levi give the badge to Sheldon this time and specifically instruct them not to let anyone know?
Sensing Maeve’s concerns, Lyra whispered, “Stop thinking about it. Let’s go quickly or it will be too late.”
Maeve nodded. There was indeed no time to dwell on these matters. If Sheldon could get them in, their goal would be achieved.
Meanwhile, in the office of the Brooks Group, Sergio looked at the badge he had received today and fell deep into thought.
“Mr. Brooks, the Mirage Group is hosting a masquerade ball tonight. Everyone is required to wear a mask. It’s said that Zachary will also be there. Do you want to go and see?” Larry asked.
Sergio furrowed his brows. He thought there wouldn’t be any more tricks from the Mirage Group, but he didn’t expect them to come up with this idea.
“Do we still not have any information on Zachary?”
“Not yet. Not only have we not found Zachary’s personal information, but we also haven’t found a single photo of him
“His identity is truly mysterious. I believe major corporations will attend this masquerade ball due to the
sudden rise of the Mirage Group and the mysterious boss behind it.”
Larry hesitated for a moment and continued, “Mr. Brooks, this is a great opportunity for us to investigate Zachary. If we don’t go today, who knows when we’ll have another chance like this?”
“Where is Maeve?” Sergio asked.
“Madam? Well…” Larry hesitated, then said, “After leaving last night, Madam seemed to have gone to the Hackett Manor with Ms Jansen, and she hasn’t come out since.”
Sergios frown deepened
“There’s also Ms. Stewart’s situation. I’ve sent someone to negotiate. But Mr. Hackett has made it difficult for us to bail her out. Ms. Stewart might have to be detained for a few more days.”
Sergio rubbed his temples and said, “Let’s go to the ball first.”

“Yes, Mr. Brooks.”
At this moment, Maeve and Lymn had already changed their clothes. Adorned with extravagant makeup, they put on their masks.
However, Sheldon’s red hair was impossible to conceal. Maeve carefully got a clook for Sheldon to keep his identity hidden at the masquerade ball.
An hour into the ball, the guests were already enjoying plenty of drinks. Maeve couldn’t help but smile as she observed the badges worn on their chests.
Despite knowing about the conflict between the Mirage Group and Sorglo, these quests still attended the
event.
“Mavy, I’ll cover for you. Hurry up and go change,” Lyra whispered.
Maeve nodded. “Keep an eye on Sheldon for me.”
“Why are you so formal with me? Go quickly!” Lyra urged.
“Okay.”
Under Lyra’s cover, Maeve stealthily slipped into the crowd. Amidst the bustling crowd and the disorienting lights, a large hand grabbed her arm.
Maeve looked up to see a man dressed as a vampire. Instinctively, she tried to break free, but he pulled her into his embrace.
Zion’s calm voice came from above her. “It’s me.”
