Chapter 500 

Henry and Clara hurriedly left the Brooks estate. 
Sergio walked down the stairs, and Larry approached him, saying, “Mr. Brooks, Zachary is nowhere to be found” 
Sergio scanned the area, hoping to catch a glimpse of Zachary at this opportunity. But once again, Zachary had chosen not to appear. 
“Zachary isn’t here, but Bryce is,” Larry added, just as Bryce approached. 
“Mr. Brooks, a pleasure to meet you,” Bryce greeted. 
“Likewise. Why isn’t Mr. Davenport here? Sergio asked. 
“He couldn’t make it, but my presence here serves the same purpose.” Bryce’s cryptic reply caught Sergio’s interest 

Previously, Bryce was only seen as a leading actor at Mirage, a mere employee in their eyes. But now, his words hinted at his position at the top echelon of Mirage Group. 
“What do you mean, Mr. Grant?” Sergio asked. 
Bryce smiled enigmatically with an intriguing gaze. 
For a long time, Zachary, supposedly the head of Mirage Group, had never made a public appearance aside from a brief moment at an

Mason asked, “ts Bryce really the one in charge of Mirage Group?” 
Unaware that Marve herself was Zachary, Mason awaited her response. 
Maeve replied, “What do you think?” 
“I.. I don’t know,” Mason admitted. He sensed there was more to the story, but became hesitant with everyone convinced Bryce was behind Mirage Group. 
Maeve patted Mason’s shoulder. “Don’t worry about it. Whether Bryce is in charge or not, you’re still an artist under Mirage Group.” 
Mason nodded in agreement 
At that moment, Maeve’s phone rang. Seeing Lyra’s Caller ID, she stepped outside to take the call. “Lyra, what’s up?” “What’s up? How could you not tell me about your decision to reconcile with Sergio?” Lyra’s tone carried frustration. 
The media had already leaked news of Maeve and Sergio’s reconciliation, making it a trending online topic. 
“I’ll explain when I get back. It’s too crowded here to talk,” 
“Maeve replied. 
“Alright, Charlie and Fare on our way to pick you up,” Lyra saki
