Chapter 406
It was after Clara and Conner left that Bryce spoke up, "That was extortion."
"Of course it was," Maeve replied coolly. "They caused you so much harm. It would be too easy for them if I didn't make him pay a fortune."
"So, is this matter settled?" asked Bryce.
"I never said that."
"But you just-"
Maeve interjected, "Did we have a contract?"
Bryce was left speechless. After a moment, he remarked, "I never realized you could be so ruthless."
"I learned this trick from someone else," Maeve uttered.
"Who?"
An image of Zion flashed in Maeve's mind.
Without answering Bryce, she stood up and said, "Well, your issue is resolved. Once I get the money, I'll transfer it to you."
"Alright." Bryce accepted without any hesitation.
After leaving, Maeve contacted Gaby, who quickly sent someone to pick her up.
When Maeve arrived at the training room, everyone was busy with flexibility exercises. As she entered, all eyes turned toward her.
"Maeve, you can go in now," Gaby instructed.
As soon as she stepped in, Wendy's voice rang out, "Well, well, looks like someone spent the night with a sugar daddy. It's almost noon, and she's just getting back."
"Don't be harsh, she needs to make
a living somehow. After all, her
family went bankrupt, and it's
rumored they owe a lot of debt," Dorothy interjected, approaching Maeve and scrutinizing her
"Tsk tsk, with her looks, I suppose sleeping with sugar daddies is her only way to settle those debts," added Dorothy.
Wendy added, "What other options does she have? Becoming a trainee is her best shot at making it big to clear those debts."
"Wendy, she's not in your position. Being a trainee might be a step-down for you, but for her, as a bankrupt heiress from the Scott family, what other choices does she have?" Dorothy raised an eyebrow, adding, "I heard she graduated from Amenam University."
"Amenam University? Despite that education, she still drove her family business into bankruptcy. There were rumors she got into the university through connections with Sergio." "But now, not even Sergio wants to associate with her. Who else can she turn to?"
Laughter erupted among the group, prompting Gaby by the door to frown and intervene, "Enough! Got extra energy to spare? Take it outside and run laps!"
With Gaby taking charge, the group quieted down and returned to stretching at their spots.
Maeve brushed off their comments. Such mockery and ridicule were nothing new to her.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Gaby continued, "You guys have
been training here for nearly a
month now. The company is
offering you an opportunity to get on
screen. If you don't seize the chance,
there may not be another."
Upon learning about the opportunity, Cathy promptly inquired, "What program is that? Will we be showcasing our talents?"
It wasn't just Cathy's curiosity, but
the thoughts on everyone's mind
е
The first screen appearance was crucial. If they didn't make an impression now, getting another chance wouldn't be guaranteed.
"I'll provide you with the details once I have them. For now, focus on shedding those pounds. Remember, the camera adds ten pounds.
"If you don't meet the weight standard, those shots won't be yours," Gaby added, subtly glancing at Wendy as she spoke.
