Chapter 328
“Ms. Scott, Bryce has agreed to the collaboration,” Zayla reported.
Marve, glancing at her phone, replied, “I already know.” The screen displayed a message from Bryce: “Leave it to me.”
Zayla seemed puzzled by Bryce’s message but quickly shifted to another pressing issue. “The Brooks Group sent an invitation for Scoff Entertainment executives to attend a banquet tomorrow evening.”
Maeve responded nonchalantly, “Let me see the invitation”
Zayla forwarded the digital invitation, and Maeve’s eyes caught on Sergio’s personal seal.
“And who else did they invite? Maeve asked.
“All the senior executives from Scott Entertainment and Brooks Entertainment, as well as… the press.”
Maeve let out a cold chuckle. Sergio loved to manipulate public perception, and inviting the media made his intentions clear.
Zayla hesitated. “Ms. Scott, perhaps it’s best if you don’t attend.”
“No,” Maeve replied decisively. “If he wants me there so badly, I’ll do him a favor.”
“But the public perception…” Zayla trailed off. It was widely known that Maeve and Sergio were in the midst of a divorce. A public appearance together would undoubtedly stir up a media frenzy.
“If he wants to play with public opinion, we’ll play along. But… it won’t be the narrative he’s hoping for,” Marve said with a knowing smile.
Understanding dawned on Zayla’s face. “Yes, I’ll handle it right away.”
As evening fell, Maeve dressed in a guided gown that exuded mature elegance.
Bryce arrived to fetch her, and despite having seen her in various elegant attire before, he couldn’t help but be captivated.
“Do I look good?” Maeve asked, twirling gracefully.
“You look stunning,” Bryce replied with a smile.
Given the significance of the banquet, Bryce wore a formal white suit, looking every bit the Prince Charming. He opened the car door for Maeve with gentlemanly grace and joined her in the back once she was seated.
“I know what you’re planning,” Bryce said. “Don’t worry, I’ll support you all the way.”
Maeve looked at Bryce, noticing how much he had matured since they first met. No longer the struggling recent graduate, he now carried the charm and confidence of a man who had come into his own…
Her thoughts drifted to their past life, where Bryce had been overlooked and sidelined by Scott Group, only to achieve success through immense struggle. Her heart ached with regret.
In her previous life, she had chased after her own romantic ideals, neglecting her responsibilities to the Scott family, which ultimately led to Its downfall and her own loss.
This time, she vowed not to repeat

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Bryce asked, noticing Maeve’s gaze.
