Her striking beauty, especially the captivating allure of her eyes, held an innate allure. Though Lentimas City and Conner’s world were filled with beautiful women, none compared to Marve’s unique charm. 
By the time Conner snapped out of his reverie, Maeve was already seated across from him. Looking at Maeve, Conner was reminded of the purpose behind their meeting

Conner’s voice carried a hint of arrogance. “Everything has a price. Just name your figure, and I’ll pay for it.”

“If I were to demand a hundred billion dollars, would you truly be willing to sacrifice such a significant portion of your wealth?” Conner’s brow furrowed at her words. It was indeed unthinkable to spend such a fortune merely to eliminate Mason.
