Never See You Again

In Jefferson Manor, the computer screen displayed a debut interview with the rising star, Mason.

In just two weeks, Mason had tapped into the industry’s best resources. His popularity had skyrocketed, trending daily, and amassing tens of millions of followers.

Bailey knocked on the study door.

Conner, clearly agitated, grumbled, “Come in.”

Bailey entered and noticed Conner’s frustration. “Mr. Jefferson, our company has been experiencing severe losses lately. Are you planning to return to the company to address this?”

With Zion and Maeve each having extorted five billion dollars from him, his company was short ten billion.

Additionally, the losses of a few billion dollars from the Hackett Group had compounded the issue. Even with the vast wealth of the Jefferson Lentimas City, covering such a shortfall wasn’t easy.

“Our family’s assets are worth hundreds of billions,” Conner said dismissively. “Although we’re not as wealthy as the Brooks family, we’re far from destitute. It’s not a big deal. Just figure out how to manage it.”

“But-

Bailey was about to protest, but Conner cut him off, pushing the laptop toward him. “Take a look at this.”

The screen showed Mason’s fan count had surpassed ten million within a month of his debut. He was the first trainee to achieve this since Bryce, who was launched by Scott Entertainment.

Bailey remained silent for a moment before saying, “Mason is now a public figure. It’s challenging to act against him, especially in Sergio’s territory. And then there’s Maeve..”

The

e mere mention of Marve gave Conner a headache. He wondered where she had come from and why she always seemed to be a thorn in his side.

Taking a deep breath, Conner ordered, “Set up a meeting with Maere.”

“Mr. Jefferson, we need to be cautious. Given Maeve’s relationship with Sergio…”

“Serglo sacrificed the Ramoz family, a valuable asset, for her. Zion, too, risked everything for her. These top men in

n Seathburn City are vying for Marve

“I want to understand what makes her so exceptional. After all, she’s just a woman. I might be able to give her what she wants.”

A smirk crossed Conner’s face as he glanced at Mason’s profile on the screen.

While he was indifferent to most matters, Mason was an exception. He couldn’t allow the child of that woman to become a star. Never.

Later that afternoon, Maeve sat in her office at Mirage Group when she received a message from Conner requesting a meeting. Zayla, who had thought Maeve’s earlier mention of a surprise for Conner was a joke, was shocked to see Conner reaching out so soon.

She inquired, “We’ve purchased new land in Lentimas City for development, as you instructed. The Jeffersons must be aware by now. Why is Conner still in Seathburn City?”

“He is currently focused on Mason and expanding his influence here. He’s unlikely to notice such minor matters.”

A smile graced Marve’s lips.

The Jeffersons had dominated Lentimas City for so long that they had grown complacent. With Conner’s attention diverted to Seathburn City, she planned to take control of Lentimas City.

By the time Conner realized what was happening, the city would already have new rulers. But first, she needed to keep him occupied.
