Chapter 337
Outside the door, Bryce was confronting the Hackett family members. He appeared calm, but he was gripping a utility knife hidden in his sleeve. He was ready to act if anything went wrong inside.
At that moment, Maeve walked out and said to Bryce, “Why are you so tense? It’s time for us to go.”
Bryce frowned. “All done?”
“Yes, it’s settled.” Seeing that Maeve was unscathed, Bryce finally relaxed.
The Hackett family was enigmatic. If Sergio was the overlord of Seathburn City, then Levi was its most mysterious king.
Everyone in Seathburn City knew that even if you crossed Sergio, you couldn’t afford to cross Levi,
In the car, Bryce inspected Maeve’s shoulders. He observed her over from head to toe and indeed found no
Disregarding the Hackett family driver in front, Bryce asked, “Did you offend him?”

“No.”

“He gave me a friendly warning”
Marve’s expression was calm. She was fully aware of the deep roots of the Brooks Group.
On the surface, Mirage Group seemed to be on equal footing with Brooks Group.
But if things got serious, Mirage Group couldn’t sustain a long–term battle with Brooks Group.
After all, the Brooks Group had a century–old reputation. No matter how powerful her new Mirage Group was, if it couldn’t topple Brooks Group in the short term, the Brooks Group would eventually recover. Mirage Group would face tough times ahead.
However, she remained calm.
After all, the Brooks family had the troublesome Hailey.
Once Maeve delivered a heavy blow to the Brooks Group and successfully divorced Sergio, she wouldn’t need to take any more drastic actions against them.
The next day, news spread that Hailey had caused a scene at a banquet meant to celebrate the collaboration between the Brooks and Scott families
The media heavily reported on the incident, portraying Hailey as an evil matriarch from a wealthy family.
As a result, the collaboration between the Brooks Group and the Scotts Group was canceled. Even Bryce’s photo shoot with Serena for a magazine was halted..
Online, rumors suddenly spread about Serena throwing tantrums on set and deliberately trying to please Bryce.
Once these clips surfaced online, they ignited a firestorm across the intemet. Widespread criticism was directed at Serena.
Bryce was seen as a respected figure online, known for his acting prowess and restrained demeanor. He rarely got involved in any negative rumors with the actress. However, in the video, Bryce appeared visibly impatient with Serena and declined any physical contact.
In light of this situation, Serena’s image took a sudden nosedive. She transformed from an esteemed international socialite to an uncouth, spoiled actress
In the office, Maeve wasn’t surprised when she saw this news.
Although Bryce was respectful towards women, he was also incredibly shrewd and knew how to manipulate public opinion. The inexperienced Senera was no match for him.
“Ms. Scott! Something seems to have happened with the Brooks family.” Zayla rushed into Maeve’s office with excitement.
Seeing Zayla’s expression, Maeve knew it was good news. “What happened to Brooks Group this time?”
“A worker jumped from one of their construction sites. The building is a shoddy construction, and they’re facing potential losses in the billions.”
Mayse sulled slightly. It seemed the time had come
Meanwhile, the phones at the Brooks Group reception desk were ringing nonstop. The conference room was in chaos.
