Chapter 222
“Okay…” Maeve responded. Then, she followed Larry to the lounge.
“Mrs. Brooks, is there anything in particular you’d like to eat?”
“Just a cup of tea, please.”
“Alright.”
Larry brought her the tea, and Maeve sat down on the couch. She asked, “How has Mr. Brooks been at the company lately?”
“Mr. Brooks? He’s been absent–minded, and he’s been drinking heavily lately. But today, he seems more like himself, thanks to you, Mrs.
Brooks.”
Maeve frowned. “He’s been drinking?”
“Didn’t you know? Mr. Brooks was drunk the last time he went to Mirage Group.” Larry sounded concerned. “Mr. Brooks has been drinking excessively these past few days. I’m really worried about him.”
“Do you know why Sergio suddenly went to the Mirage Group that day?”
“That… I don’t know.” Larry’s expression gave him away.
After all, her presence here was suspicious, and even the
Maeve lowered her gaze. Larry knew the truth, but he wasn’t willing to tell her. After all,
directors of the Brooks Group thought the same.
“Alright. I’ll talk to Sergio. You can leave now. I need to rest for a while.”
“Alright, Mrs. Brooks.”
Once Larry left, Maeve took out her phone. After hesitating for a moment, she sent a message to Zayla. “Help me investigate the recent activities of the Brooks Group, and try to find out as many details as possible.”
Zayla quickly replied, “Got It”
Maeve still felt uneasy. She couldn’t believe that Sergio would let her participate in the Brooks Group’s meeting without any reservations and even give her 20% of the shares. There had to be more to it.
Meanwhile, Olivia Brown was scolding Clara harshly.
“Can’t
you even handle such a small task? Are you really a postgraduate student at Amenam University? Your
Your work performance is dreadful.” Clara lowered her head, saying, “I’m sorry. I really didn’t know how…”
“You didn’t know how? Aren’t you supposed to be a top student? Your resume says that you aim to be a deputy manager. With your level of competence, do you think you even deserve that ambition?”
Clara’s face was drained of color.
Olivia sneered. “Take this proposal back and redo it! If you can’t get it right, don’t bother coming in to work tomorrow!”
Clara bit her lip. “I’ll redo it right away…‘
After Clara left the office, Olivia took her phone out and called Maeve
In the Brooks Group’s lounge, Maeve glanced at her phone. After ensuring that there were no surveillance cameras there, she answered the call
Marve lowered her voice, “Didn’t I tell you not to call me for now?”
“Ms. Scott, I didn’t mean to do so, but I think that there’s something off about Clara.”
“What do you mean?”
“According to Clara’s academic records, she’s been studying finance for years and has excellent grades. But, I just reviewed her proposal, and It’s filled with mistakes. Something just doesn’t add up.”
“Mistakes?”
“Yes, I’ve checked her browsing history, , and it seems like she’s been looking up professional terms online. Plus, her market analyses are a mess. I suspect… that her qualifications or grades might be fabricated.”
Maeve drowned deeply. Clara was someone that Sergio had personally mentored. How could her credentials be questionable?
