Chapter 405

Marve, with a hint of feigned politeness, asked, “Aren’t you going to get up?”

Cara remained on her knees, her expression full of genuine remorse. “I was wrong. Conner has already talked to

“I'm sorry, Maeve. Jealousy clouded my judgment. | promise it won't happen again. Please, forgive me.”

Her display of guilt seemed sincere, though its authenticity was hard to discern.

Maeve silently watched Clara's orchestrated display before her. With Maeve showing little reaction, Bryce made

no effort to signal Clara to rise

Conner, who was standing nearby, chimed, “Nathalie’s past grievances caused her to speak harshly to you, Ms.

Scott. We had a long talk last night, and she has let go of the past”

He then looked at Clara and said, “Nathalie, didn’t you say last night that you wanted to apologize to Ms. Scott?

Clara nodded eagerly, her expression filled with genuine remorse.

Stepping forward, she bowed and said, “Maeve, | used to have feelings for Mr. Brooks, and my jealousy caused

me.

Maeve frowned slightly as she scrutinized Clara's seemingly pure and innocent face.

While Clara appeared genuinely changed, Maeve weighed two possible reasons for her transformation: either

Clara had truly repented and found love with Conner, or she was feigning weakness as a strategic move.

Marve might have entertained the idea of Clara’s genuine change it hadn’t been for the dream she had recently.

That dream left her cautious, and believing in Clara’s transformation wasn’t something she could do easily.

With a sharp edge in her voice, she scoffed, “You slappedtwice. A simple apology won't suffice.

Maeve’s intent was clear.

Clara nervously bit her lip before replying, “If you wish to slapback, | won't object.”

Her vulnerable and penitent demeanor painted Maeve as the aggressor.

“Considering your pregnancy, let’s skip the slapping. We'll settle this through compensation,” Maeve concluded

She raised an eyebrow and added firmly, Mr. Spencer settled withfor five billion dollars, much like

compensation for Mr. Jefferson’s slap. So, it’s only fair for you to payfive billion dollars as well, and we'll

consider this matter settled.”

“Five billion dollars? Clara exclaimed incredulously.

To compensate for her, Henry had only given her a million dollars as pocket money since becoming the heiress of

the Ramoz family. How could she possibly cup with five billion?

Upon hearing Marve’s request, dara turned to Conner, as it pleading his assistance

Conner maintained his composure and questioned, “Ms. Scott, Isn't this extortion?”

“How could this be extortion? Resolving this isn't as simple as offering an apology. She harmed Bryce, who is

crucial to my business. With the Scott family bankrupt and Mirage Group shares declining, | depend on Bryce to

generate income.

“Look at him now. His face is injured and it’s his celebrity capital Even so billion wouldn't suffice if he can’t

recover.”

Marve was feigning financial hardship, a charade that everyone easily saw through

Bryce coughed uncomfortably, visibly unsettled by Maeve’s remarks.

Her pretense of poverty, despite

being the CEO of Miagd Gop Hd a

“Dd course.” Maeve concurred coolly

With that, Conner stood up with a firm expression and instructed, “Nathalie, getup. Let's go.”
