Chapter 155
Charlie said, “This badge isn’t worth much anyway. Let’s just give it to them.”
Maeve smiled faintly. “But this badge is very useful.”
Maeve extended a finger and added, “Also, spread the word that Zachary, the CEO of Mirage Group, will also be present and enjoying the masquerade ball with everyone.”
Charlie looked puzzled, but Zion understood Maeve’s intention.
Maeve played with the badge in her hand. For the past few months, she had made the name Zachary resound, and the mystery surrounding it had peaked. It was all for this day.
At the Brooks Group banquet, Sergio looked at the crowded hall without any hint of joy.
Larry, who stood by his side, said, “Mr. Brooks, I did a head count, and all the big shots from the companies are here, except for those from the Mirage Group who weren’t invited.”
“Hm.” Sergio seemed uninterested in the current situation.
“Mr. Brooks, do you have any concerns?”
Sergio remained silent briefly before asking, “Any news from the Mirage Group?”
Larry shook his head. “I haven’t heard anything from them. Maybe they know they’ve offended us, so they’re laying low.”
Sergio frowned. He didn’t believe that the person behind Mirage Group wouldn’t do anything. His counterattack was a declaration of sovereignty over Seathburn City, and everyone knew it. But did Mirage Group not know that?
If Mirage Group stayed quiet, they’d be a laughingstock in this circle and would never be compared to Brooks Group again. Then, everything Mirage Group had done would be in vain.
Sergio didn’t think the person behind them would be so foolish as to shoot themselves in the foot.
“Have someone keep a close eye on everything Mirage Group does and report back to me immediately when there’s any news.”
“Yes, Mr. Brooks.”
Larry was about to leave when Sérgio seemed to remember something and asked, “What about Maeve?”
As Mrs. Brooks, she should be present at such an occasion today.
“The dress has been sent according to your uncertain.”
structions, but… whether or not Madam will come is
At that moment, the banquet doors opened, and Sergio saw a glimpse of a wine–red figure. His eyes flashed a myriad of emotions. But upon seeing the face that had just walked in, they turned gloomy again.

Clara was dressed in a wine–red evening gown. Her hair was done up in a refined hairstyle and she had simple but elegant makeup on. When she saw Sergio, her face lit up with joy.
Clara quickly approached Sergio, shyly asking, “Sergio, am I late?”
“Where did you get this dress?”
Clara was taken aback. She had not expected to be greeted with a question. “Didn’t you have it sent over
by Larry?”
Sergio gave Larry a cold glance, and Larry hurriedly said, “Mr. Brooks, I didn’t!”
He had handed this dress to the gatekeeper, specifically instructing it to be given to Maeve.
“Sergio, what do you mean? Wasn’t this dress prepared for me?” Tears welled up in Clara’s eyes, making her look pitiful.
Sergio looked at Clara. With her red lips and elaborate makeup, she unfortunately reminded him of Maeve. Sergio then looked away and didn’t comfort her as he would usually.
“This doesn’t suit you. Go change out of the dress.”
