Chapter 301
Silas Lawson was one of Master Ellis’s subordinates. Having his men around primarily served as a deterrent against hidden threats.
After finishing her business, Mira left.
She returned to the hotel to freshen up, then headed straight to the Solflare Entertainment building to meet Gavin Hale and the others for rehearsal.
“Boss, we have a problem. Another company is holding a concert at the exact same time as ours p>
Robert Yates, the manager, complained to Mira.
“Which company p>
“Yield Crest Media, under the Lance family.
They’ve set their sights on us. Since they couldn’t take us down over the EcoRide project, they’re opposing us at every turn.
Their concert features three A-list singers, including a pop diva p>
“Lawrence Lance is petty and easily tripped up by trivial matters. He won’t achieve anything great.
It’s fine. Gavin and Aidan Chase are also top-tier artists. We’ll let our talent speak for itself p>
Hearing Mira’s words, Robert’s confidence surged. “You hit the nail on the head, Boss. Lawrence is nothing but a bastard born from a mistress p>
“Born from a mistress p>
“Yeah, Lawrence.
Word is, his mother was just the other woman before she finally schemed her way into the house p>
“What about the original Lady Lance? Did they divorce p>
“She supposedly died in a car crash.
I heard she was incredibly capable. She even took over the Lance family’s
operations in place of her husband, Mr. Lance. The e-commerce company she founded still brings in endless profits for them to this day.
It’s a shame the good die young p>
“After she died, did her husband take over the family p>
“No, the patriarch, Lord Leonard Lance, took the power back and managed it himself.
When Owen grew up, Lord Leonard bypassed his own son and passed the CEO position directly to his eldest grandson p>
Jax Weaver suddenly chimed in.
Mira looked at him. “Jax, are you familiar with Aethelgard p>
“No, not really p>
He immediately grew defensive.
Mira then glanced at Silas Vane.
“Don’t look at me. I have no idea,” Silas replied.
Robert continued his story for Mira. “I heard that shortly after Lady Lance’s fatal accident, Owen also got into a car crash.
Except, he survived p>
“It wasn’t shortly after. Owen was in the same car when the accident happened.
The kid was lucky. They managed to save him, so he didn’t die p>
Jax interjected again. Mira didn’t press him further; she knew he wouldn’t say more even if she asked.
“Owen was considered a prodigy back then, inheriting his mother’s business
acumen.
He started working at the company while still in high school and made significant contributions to the Lance Group.
Later, he attended MIT. Within two
years of graduating and returning home he doubled the family’s
assets, elevating them to the top
position in Aethelgard.
If he were still around, the Lance family definitely wouldn’t be in the state it is today p>
“So what happened next? Why is Lawrence calling the shots now p>
Mira looked at Robert.
“For some unknown reason, Owen had a massive falling out with his family and left.
He hasn’t been back since p>
The image of her capable yet somewhat willful senior, Owen, instantly flashed in Mira’s mind Could it be him? She made a mental gote to ask him later.

Still, it was someone else’s family drama Treating it as passing gossip was enough Mira needed to hurry, and focus on her rehearsal.net>
Right before she left, she remembered something and turned to Robert.
“Have the posters announcing that the famous songwriter Lune will meet the audience been sent out p>
“Don’t worry, Boss. They’re already out p>
“Always acting like she’s a big deal p>
Mira heard Jax muttering behind her as she hurried toward the rehearsal room.
“I don’t act like a big deal, because I’m just a person.
Are you saying you’re a vegetable p>
Jax was left speechless.
“Hahaha, Jax got owned p>
The exchange made Silas laugh, accidentally calling him by the nickname Mira
used.
