Chapter 272
“Of course, I am.” Maeve stood up and said, “Your partner is standing before you in one piece. You’re not dreaming.”
Bryce looked delighted. He went forward and hugged Maeve to make sure that everything was real.
Maeve patted his back and said, “I told you I’ll make you the top actor and top celebrity. I’ll never go back on my words.”
Bryce let go of Maeve and laughed. He knew she would never die so easily.
“Why? Why did you acquire Scott Group? Why are you seeing me? Why don’t you announce that you’re still alive?”
Bryce had many doubts in mind.
Maeve replied, “Haven’t you suspected that I’m Mirage Group’s Zachary Davenport since long ago?”
She had only used the fake identity of Zachary Davenport so that she wouldn’t get caught by Sergio.
Everyone thought the person in charge of Mirage Group was a man and was Zachary Davenport. However, no one knew it was actually Maeve.
Bryce was more observant than ordinary people. Back then, he had already tested her on her connection with Mirage Group.
Hence, she knew Bryce would know if she were to meet him using her identity as the CEO of Mirage Group.
Bryce remained silent for a while before he said, “All kinds of rumors are circulating out there. Many of them think you’re dead. The Scott family has undergone a major change too, Sergio has been searching high and low for you. What are you trying to do?”
The smile on Maeve’s face faded. “Back then, I was the daughter of the Scott family, Sergio Brooks‘ wife. Now, I’ll be myself. I’ll not be restricted because of my identity, and I can do anything I want. But the last thing I need to do before this is to divorce Sergio.”
It sounded like a simple task to divorce Sergio, but that wasn’t the case.
In the past, the Scott family had collaborations with the Brooks family, and they were in a mutually beneficial relationship. Besides, Sergio had always been the one who had the upper hand in this marriage, so she was in no position to divorce him.
But now, the two families had fallen out completely because of her. Mirage Group was now against Brooks Group too.
Although the development of the situation was out of her expectations, everything seemed to be getting back on track. She only needed to divorce Sergio at the right moment.
She merely hoped Clara wouldn’t let her down.
Bryce asked, “What do you want to do? I’ll help you.”
Smiling, Maeve said, “Mirage Group will use all our resources to help promote you in the domestic and global entertainment industry. I want you to be the brightest star.”
“Okay,” Bryce immediately agreed.
Seeing that Bryce had agreed immediately, Maeve reminded, “This journey isn’t as easy as you think. Have you made up your mind?”
“Yes.” Bryce paused for a while before he said with a frown, “But someone’s getting in my way now.”
“I know. Do you mean Lucas Collins?”
Initially, she had sent Lucas to the media company under Brooks Group, but she hadn’t expected him to be doing quite well. Since Maeve had recommended him, Brooks Group had given him all the good opportunities and resources.
Within a few months, Lucas, who was merely a B–list celebrity in Scott Media, was almost on par with Bryce now.
However, she had expected all this.
“Don’t worry. The higher someone is, the harder they fall. Lucas‘ personal life is a mess. He has many scandals, so he can’t go far.”
Maeve had sent Lucas to Brooks Group with the intention of using him to bring Brooks Media down when the right time came.
