Chapter 385
“There’s a contract for you…”
It wasn’t a contract to sell Maeve’s soul, after all.
She hesitated before picking up the contract from the table.
Upon reading it, she noticed that it was a contract with Hackell Entertainment.
“Do you really want me to sell my soul?
Levi glanced at Maeve.
self, “I mean, do you want to sign me under Hackett Entertainment?
Realizing that she had phrased her words wrongly, Maeve quickly corrected herself,
Levi replied nonchalantly, “That’s right. It’s all stated in the contract.”
“Mr. Hackett, while I’ve considered the idea of debuting, 1…”
“Do you intend to debut with Mitage Group and not Hackett Entertainment?”
“Uh.. well..” Maeve struggled to articulate her thoughts.
Logically speaking, that was indeed the case.
Levi said, “Don’t forget about the contract we’ve signed before that. With the Scott family going bankrupt, it’s going to impact the Hackett family too. Now, I want to sign you, and that’s what you should do.”
Maeve sensed that she was being exploited, and badly. Levi had taken advantage of her reluctance to own others, essentially commering her.
Setting aside the contract, Maeve relented, “Fine, I’ll do it.”
After all, in the eyes of the public, she was nothing but someone who had fallen due to bankruptcy. So, she was desperately searching for a respectable job. They were waiting for Mirage Group to cut ties with Scott Group’s mess, and eventually, she would lose her position as CEO of Scott Group.
While the executives were aware of her role as the CEO of Mirage Group, to the public she was still the same.
Maeve stated, “But I have one condition.”
“Go on.”
“As you’re aware, I’m affiliated with Mirage Group. Once I debut, they should benefit both the Hackett family and Mirage Group. You can’t stop me from benefiting Mirage Group either.”
“Alright.” Lev agreed without hesitation, which made Maeve even more suspicious.
Maeve pondered over Levi’s Intentions. Was it merely because of her recent surge in popularity on the internet?
After all, if Levi aimed to profit, preparing a star for the debut wasn’t challenging at all.
Therefore, why did it have to be her?
Maeve was about to voice her doubts when Levi gestured to the butler behind her and said calmly, “Ms. Scott, please enjoy your meal. I have other business to
attend to.”
The butler then escorted Levi away, cutting off any further questions Maeve had in mind.
That was alright because she was used to it,
Despite the lavish spread laid out before her, Maeve had no appetite.
She rose from the table and left Hackett Manor. Then, drove straight back to Scott Manor
With Philip’s family gone from Scott Manor, it felt empty.
As Maeve entered the house, the housekeeper had already begun clearing out the belongings of Philip’s family. She asked, “Ms. Scott, what should we do with these?
Maeve glanced at the belongings. “Take them to the warehouse.”
“But..
“From now on, their belongings shouldn’t be seen in this house.”
“Yes, Ms. Sco
Maeve glanced at the vast expanse of Scott Manor and pondered. It was time for her to leave this place.
News of Scott Manor being put up for sale quickly circulated online.
The origin of the photos posted online remained a mystery, igniting widespread speculation among people.
“Seriously? Are the Scott family really that broke that they’re selling their mansion?”
“I heard this mansion is selling for a whopping 200 million dollars! And it’s already been snapped up!”
Well, rich folks are still rich even when they’re bankrupt, huh?“
