Chapter 501
“I think she cares more about Rachel,” Mara said.
“If Lacey and Rachel both fell into a river, Mira would definitely save Rachel first p>
Adrian nodded. He didn’t deny the massive gap in status between Lacey and Rachel in Mira’s heart. Mira had cut ties with the family precisely for Rachel.
“But Rachel is a tough target,” Adrian noted. He had made several moves against the nanny before, all failing. The older woman rarely went out, was incredibly vigilant, and that rebellious daughter had even hired a bodyguard for her. Even on her rare grocery runs, Rachel strictly stuck to crowded areas and ignored any street- side distractions.
“In contrast, that idiot Lacey is much easier to grab than the nanny p>
Lacey was simply too naive. She had bodyguards—several of them, in fact—but unfortunately, the owner lacked a functioning brain. Fortunately, Fiona also loved making Lacey her target. Not only because she was a romantic rival she deeply despised, but because she knew every single one of Lacey’s flaws.
Having made their decision, Adrian and his team quickly arranged the setup. After all, Porter Entertainment wasn’t going to give them much time.
Meanwhile, Mara, who had just settled back into a peaceful routine, received another summons from Porter Entertainment: she was to report Adrian’s recent activities and the Mercer Group’s latest movements truthfully.
At a local cafe, Mara took the initiative to meet Roxanne Porter. This time, there was no need to hide from anyone or worry about trailing reporters; Roxanne was the mentor who had publicly cleared her name.
“Speak. Why did you ask me here p>
Roxanne rested her head on one hand, giving Mara a sideways, leisurely glance. She wore a cropped white tank top that accentuated her elegant collarbones, a diamond necklace catching the light around herneck Draped over it was a pale yellow chiffon cardigan. She radiated an aura of high society-beautiful, sharp, and commanding.
In contrast, Mara wore a plain floral dress with cheap jewelry. Her hai was pulled into a messy ponytail and despite her time managing corporate affairs, she couldn’t hide the frantic, battered look on her face.
“Please don’t make me provide intelligence anymore, okay?” Mara pleaded. Porter Entertainment hadn’t contacted her in a while, and she had naively hoped they were done with her.
“It’s our family’s company now. It will definitely be passed down to me in the future. If I keep feeding information to Porter Entertainment, I’m selling out my own inheritance p>
“What, you want out?” Roxanne smiled, but her eyes were filled with cold cruelty.
From the very first day Mara struck
a deal with them, Shane Porter had warned her: “I will fully cooperate with you help you, and give you what you want. But you betray me, there is only one path-death p>
Mara fell silent, but only for a second, before mustering her courage to look at Roxanne.
“I’ve always been loyal to you. I’ve provided you with a lot of high-quality information. It’s just that now p>
“Now that the company is in your family’s hands, you don’t want to keep your promise?” Roxanne finished for her.
“I suppose that’s an option. But think carefully. Our pact wasn’t made for nothing p>
