Chapter 406 It was after Clara and Conner left that Bryce spoke up, âThat was extortion.â
âOf course it was,â Maeve replied coolly. âThey caused you so much harm. It would be too easy for them if I didnât make him pay a fortune.â
âSo, is this matter settled?â asked Bryce âI never said that âBut you just-
Maeve interjected, âDid we have a contract?
Bryce was left speechless. After a moment, he remarked, âInever realized you could be so ruthless.â
âI learned this trick from someone else,â Maeve uttered.
âWho?ââ
An image of Zion flashed in Maeveâs mind.
without answering Bryce, she stood up and said, âWell, your issue is resolved once I get the money, Iâll transfer it to you.â
âAlright.â 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 flexibilityexercises. As she entered, all eyes turned toward her.
âMaeve, you can go in now,â Gaby instructed As soon as she stepped in, Wendyâs voice rang out, âWell, well, looks like someone spent the night with a sugar daddy. Itâs almost noon, and sheâs just getting back.â
âDonât be harsh, she needs to make a living somehow. After all, her family went bankrupt, and itâs rumored they owe a lot of debt,â Dorothy interjected, approaching Marve and scrutinizing her.
âTskisk, with her looks, I suppose sleeping with sugar daddies is her only way to settle those debts,â added Dorothy.
Wendy added, âWhat other options does she have? Becoming a trainee is her best shot at making it big to clear those debts.â
âWendy, sheâs not in your position. Being a trainee might be a stepâdown for you, but for her, as a bankrupt heiress from the Scott family, what other choices does she have? Dorothy raised an eyebrow, adding, âI heard she graduated from Amenam University.â
âAmenam University? Despite that education, she still drove her family business into bankruptcy. There were rumors she got into the university through connections with Sergio âBut now, not even Sergio wants to a Laughter erupted among the group, prompting Gaby by the door to fr sto associate with her. Who else can she turn to?
door to frown and intervene, âEnough! Got extra energy to spare? Take it outside and run laps!â With Gaby taking charge, the group quieted down and returned to stretching at their spots. Marve brushed off their comments, Such mockery and ridicule were nothing new to her.
Gaby continued, âYou guys have been training here for nearly a month now. The company is offering you an opportunity to get on screen. If you donât setze the chance, there may not be another.â
Upon learning about the opportunity, Cathy promptly inquired, âWhat program is that? Will we be showcasing our talents?â
It wasnât just Cathyâs curiosity, but the thoughts on everyoneâs mind. The first screen appearance was crucial if they didnât make an impression now, getting another chance wouldnât be guaranteed âIâll provide you with the details once I have them. For now, focus on shedding those pounds. Remember, the camera adds ten pounds.
âIf you donât meet the weight standard, those shots wonât be yours,â Gaby added, subtly glancing at Wendy as she spoke.
