Maeve paused thoughtfully before responding in a serious tone, “Precisely speaking, we’re enemies.”

Mason remained silent for a while, seemingly weighing whether Maeve was telling the truth.

“I’ve already told you my relationship with Conner. Don’t you think it’s time you be honest with me too?”

To be honest, she had long since figured out that Conner was here for Mason. Conner’s interest in Mason went beyond mere acquaintance. His malicious gaze earlier had betrayed a predatory intent

“Sorry. I have nothing to say.”

As Mason burned to leave, Maeve interjected, “Is he your brother?”

Hearing this, Mason immediately turned back and grabbed Maeve by the throat. He narrowed his eyes. “How do you know? Who are you? What else do you know?”

Maeve didn’t flinch under Mason’s grip as he hadn’t exerted any force. “Your reaction confirms my suspicions.”

Mason was taken aback.

Maeve vaguely remembered rumors about the Jefferson family that had circulated in her past life. Despite the Jeffersons‘ efforts to suppress them, rumors often held some truth. Drawing on these namors and the striking resemblance between Mason and Conner, Maeve had pieced together most of the puzzle, though not with certainty until now. As Mason’s earlier reaction had confirmed her suspicions, he was considered quite naïve to fall for such a simple crick

“Were you testing me?” Mason frowned

Marve replied nonchalantly, “With your 10, I don’t think you should even consider challenging Conner. You should terminate your contract with Hackett Entertainment as soon as possible and go somewhere else.”

“I can’t leave.”

“If you stay, your career will be doomed,” Maeve said flatly. “Investing in a trainee project at Hackett Entertainment doesn’t necessarily spell disaster, but Conner wouldn’t bother showing up unless he’s dead set on keeping you here.

“Now that he’s invested in the project and a shareholder, he has the right to make your life hell Can’t you see that?”

Mason pursed his lips. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand. He had no other choice but to stay.

eyed Mason thoughtfully and recalled something Dorothy and the others had mentioned about a hefty penalty fee

she couldn’t help but ask, “You don’t have the money to leave, do you?”

Maeve’s words clearly hit a sore spot as Mason’s ears immediately tumed crimson.

Marve chuckled dryly. She hadn’t expected the brother of the Jefferson family’s CEO to be strapped for cash, let alone pay for a hefty penalty fee.

In a low voice, Mason said, “I’m Begitimate. I don’t have the money”

His appearance and skills had gotten him the trainee position, and now Hackett Entertainment was his only chance to succeed.

“So, are you going to fight Conner?”

“I don’t want to.”

“Then, are you going to tell him that you admit defeat?”
