Chapter 434
“Tango.” Marve extended her hand to Conner.
Conner accepted without hesitation. Seeing this, Edward signaled for the music to begin.
Within moments, the training ground was filled with the rhythm of a Lango
Conner wrapped an arm around Maeve’s waist and felt how supple it was. He leaned in and whispered, “No wonder Sergio won’t give up on you, Ms. Scott. If I were him, 1 wouldn’t
either.”
“Oh, really?” Maeve replied. The next second, she stepped on Conner’s foot.
He winced, but Maeve wasn’t done. She stepped on him again.
Conner instinctively backed away a few steps, but Maeve followed and stepped on him repeatedly.
“Mr.Jefferson, Theard you’re planning to invest in Hackett Entertainment’s trainee project because of Sergio. Is that true?”
“It seems Sergio really values you. Even in the midst of a divorce, be confides everything in you.”
“You’ve invested hundreds of millions. Aren’t you worried about losing it all?”
Conner shrugged. “If Sergio’s investing in a project, it’s a safe bet
“Who says Sergio’s investments are always safe? Maeve looked at Conner with a mischievous glint flashing in her eyes.
“Believe it or not, I can make the trainee project go down the drain within three months.”
Conner dismissed her threat with a smirk. “If you can pull that off, I’d be impressed. How would you even manage to sabotage a hundred–million–dollar project?”
Maeve replied, “By making things tough for the trainees, you’re jeopardizing your future cash cows. They have a new show the day after tomorrow.
“If they all fall ill and the first episode flops, the project will lose credibility. Mr. Jetterson, I’m sure you know this business is lucrative but risky. Without funding and no rising stars, it’s a losing game”
“Ms. Scott, have you forgotten about the penalty fees?”
Every trainee who signed with a company had a special clause. Breaking the contract would have cost millions, a sum too overwhelming for an average family.
With no one daring to breach the contract, the company took advantage of them. Meanwhile, those deemed less promising would be sidelined and pressured to quit.
Ultimately, the company profited from penalty fees alone, not to mention the revenue from a successful star
Investing in the entertainment industry, backed by a powerhouse with talent and resources, seldom resulted in losses.
Maeve smiled. “What if all the trainees are gone?”
Conner raised an eyebrow. “If this batch goes, another will follow.”
“It takes a long time to train quality trainees, and it requires continuous investment to build their image. By then, who knows it it’ll be a profiter a loss?”
“Do you think the Hackett Group will just let them go?”
“That’s anyone’s guess,”
Conner had no idea about Maeve’s ties with Levi or her stake in the trainee project.
Everyone knew that Mirage Group had also invested in the trainee project, but they didn’t know that Marve owned Mirage Group.
Conner released Maeve. Although his shoes were now covered with several footprints, be feigned composure and said, “Tell them to stop.”
Hearing Conner, Edward who got worried about Wendy, yelled to the sprinting figures, “Stop, all of you!”
Instantly, the trainees performing frog jumps collapsed to the ground.
“I’ll wait and see how you can make me lose money,” Conner said.
