"I'll use every resource at my disposal to bring him down. Mirage Group will not only lose profits but also face a host of other problems." Maeve remained silent, which made him think his threat was working. He softened his tone slightly and added, "I hope you'll consider this carefully before givingan answer." Just as he was about to sip his wine, Maeve calmly interjected, "You wouldn't dare.” Conner paused, his gaze narrowing on Maeve. "What did you say?" With a smirk, she repeated, "I said, you wouldn't dare" Conner's expression grew dark and threatening, but she continued, unperturbed, “If you intended to go against Mirage Group, you would have acted by now.

"Ms. Scott, just tellwhether you agree or not," Conner demanded.
