Chapter 302
“I’ll beat you! Who got owned? Watch your mouth p>
Jax raised his hand to hit Silas, but Silas swiftly dodged it.
“Once I get my paycheck this month and have some cash, I’m done working for her p>
Jax muttered again.
Mira shot him a glance without saying a word, but internally, she made a mental
note to withhold half a month’s pay.
These two were entirely different from the Iron Wolves. Those guys were
straightforward, strictly professional, and never spouted nonsense or stepped out of
line.
She genuinely needed to keep her guard up around Jax and Silas.
Sure, breaching the contract meant paying a penalty, but if they decided to bolt, who would waste time hunting them down over a fine?
Lost in thought, Mira suddenly asked Jax, “Are you planning an escape route p>
“How did you know? Did Jordan Ellis tell you p>
“Haha, you really are predictable p>
Mira didn’t offer an explanation.
From now on, she would pay him in the middle of the month for the previous month’s work. If he tried to run, he would lose two weeks of wages.
Yes, that was the plan. He clearly cared about the money.
From then on, Mira always kept a trump card up her sleeve whenever she dealt with them.
It got to the point where Jax would frequently call her a “ruthless capitalist who learned all the wrong lessons too young p>
Mira simply scoffed internally. Dealing with guys like them required ruthless capitalism.
“Keep complaining, and I’ll hold a full month’s pay. I’ll pay you at the end of every month for the previous one. Or maybe just twice a year.
That way, you’ll actually manage to build a nest egg.
No need to thank me p>
Of course, that was a conversation for another time.
For this concert, besides performing a world-renowned piano piece, “Childhood Memories,” Mira was set to sing Lune’s new track, “Blossom of the Brave,” alongside Gavin and Aidan. She would also perform “The Horizon’s Call,” the song she had debuted at the Melvion Midwinter Jubilee just days prior.
“Blossom of the Brave” was an uplifting, youth-centric anthem that hadn’t originally been released until years later in her past life.
But in this life, Mira was pulling it out now.
This was the undeniable advantage of a second chance at life. She had a wealth of future trends and resources at her fingertips. Only a fool wouldn’t use them.
Three days later, Felix Grant called her. “Boss, you guys are incredible. You’ve only been here for three days, and Superintendent Yates has already been removed from his post p>
“Warren Yates is out? That’s great news.
But it wasn’t us. We didn’t do a thing p>
“Are you serious? He’s backed by the
I.ne
Lance family and acts like their personal enforcer. So many people have tried to take him down and
failed.
Yet the moment you arrive, he’s fired p>
“I came here to back you up, with the intention of rallying the fans at the concert.
But I genuinely haven’t made a move yet p>
Was it Mr. Lawson who helped out? Impossible. She hadn’t asked him, and his men wouldn’t act without orders.
“Could Mr. Lance have done it? Do you think he’s the exiled eldest Lance heir p>
Felix sounded suspicious.
“I asked Owen about it before, and he claimed he had nothing to do with the Lance family.
Do you have a picture of the eldest heir p>
“I’ll have someone look into it p>
There were no photos of the et
heir available online, making her wonder if someone had intentionally Scrubbed them from the internet
Logically, he had only left Aethelgard two years ago.
Honestly, Mira wasn’t usually interested in other people’s business: She just wanted to that heir was actually Owen.
Upon returning to the hotel, Mira decided to confront him directly.
“Are you or are you not the eldest Lance heir p>
“Didn’t I already tell you p>
“But I’m still skeptical p>
Owen shot her a look.
“Why are you so curious about other people’s lives p>
“Fine, fine. If you don’t want to tell me, forget it. I don’t care p>
But judging by the inquisitive gleam in her eyes, she wasn’t going to let it go.
“I am p>
Owen said, glaring at her.
Rather than letting her dig around and ask others, it was better to just admit it. After
all, he couldn’t hide it forever.
