"Back then, that girl was an orphan. No one would investigate so thoroughly for her. Moreover, you''ve taken her ce, so it''s foolproof! I''m


    not afraid at all


    "But But Maeve.... Maeve is from the Scott family. She''s Sergio''s wife! How could I dare to harm her?"


    Belle wasn''t stupid. If she followed ra''s n, she would probably end up dead in a few days.


    ra tightened her grip on Belle''s hand.


    "I''m not asking you to kill her. You''re desperate for money. So, you can just kidnap her, use her to ckmail Sergio, and that''s it. I''ll handle the rest, and you won''t need to have any other involvement in this."


    "But...


    "I


    "Do you really want those creditors to maim you? I''m doing all this to help you. If you''re not grateful, then I can''t help you anymore!" With that, ra turned to leave.


    Seeing ra about to leave, Belle quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Wait!"


    ra looked at Belle coldly.


    Belle seemed to have finally made up her mind as she said to ra, "Fine! I''ll get a few enforcers I know to do it. But 80 million dors is no small sum. Will Sergio really pay that much ransom for Maeve?" "You''ve said it yourself. 80 million dors is nothing to the Brooks Group. Besides, Maeve is still Sergio''s wife. The Brooks family will definitely pay the ransom. Mom, trust me, this will work out." With ra''s confident gaze, Belle finally nodded.


    Meanwhile, Maeve was escorted by Larry to the Brooks Group. Sergio was in his office, nning thepany''s future.


    Maeve knocked on Sergio''s office door, and Sergio didn''t even lift his head as he said, "Come in."


    Maeve walked in, and Sergio paused at the sound of her heels.


    "What? You had Larry pick me up, and now you''re suddenly silent?"


    Maeve sat across from Sergio.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    "I was looking at the ns from the nning department and lost track of time," Sergio exined as he stood up and put on his suit jacket. Maeve nced at the table, where the documents were still spread out. "Is this the direction that the Brooks Group will be heading in?" she asked.


    "Yes," Sergio replied.


    "Is it to deal with the Mirage Group?" Maeve inquired.


    "Sort of," Sergio confirmed


    As he finished dressing, Sergio said, "I''ve already reserved a table at the restaurant. I hope it''s not toote."


    Maeve was confused and looked at Sergio. "What table?"


    "I''ve reserved a table at a restaurant, the one you like," Sergio replied.


    Facing Maeve''s confusion, Sergio exined, "You''ve recently taken over the Scott family, so I''ll introduce you to some industry insiders to help you navigate inore efficiently."


    Upon hearing Sergio''s words, Maeve suddenlyughed. "Sergio, are you trying to use the same tactics that you''d used on ra on me?" At Maeve''s remark, Sergio hesitated. "That''s not what I meant."
