Chapter 416: Chapter 426

.

Chapter 426 Wendy’s father, Edward, was also present.

He couldn’t hide his grin. Yesterday it was Sergio, and today it was Conner, Talk about a stroke of luck!

“Mr. Jefferson, all our trainees from this term are here,” Edward announced.

All of the trainees present were female, each one eyeing Conner with clear interest.

Conner’s gaze immediately landed on Marve. “Ms. Scott”

Caught off guard by Conner’s greeting, Marve replied coolly, “Hello, Mr. Jefferson.”

As soon as Conner greeted her first, Marve felt the jealous stares of everyone around her.

“Doesn’t Hackett Entertainment have any male trainees? Bring them over too,” remarked Steve, leaving Edward momentarily stunned. His mind raced with thoughts. Male trainees? What was so interesting about them? They were usually reserved for the wealthy clients Despite Edward’s silent protest, Steve’s request had been made. Edward signalled his manager, who quickly called the male trainees ov Steve added, “Wait, don’t say it’s at Mr. Jefferson’s request. Let’s keep things casual so Mr. Jefferson can see everyone in their natural state.” “No problem! I agree!” Edward responded immediately This move raised Maeve’s suspicions. Why would Conner want to see male trainees out of nowhere?

Shortly after, the male trainees came down the stairs.

The leader among them had a cool and composed demeanor, catching Maeve’s eye for a moment.

She vaguely remembered seeing him on the training ground before. He must have been Mason, the leader of the male trainees.

Mason frowned when he spotted conner on his way down but kept walking Behind him, Zander couldn’t help but comment, “That guy looks a lot like Mason.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. That’s Mr Jefferson from Lentimas City. How could he look like Mason?”

“But they really do look alike.”

As Mason and the others descended the stairs, Conner smiled taintly, Cher.

“These are our male trainees, and this is their leader, Mason Barry. And this is Cathy Burns, the leader of our female trainees.

They’re the backbone of our team.” Edward’s introduction sparked Wendy’s irritation. “There are more than just those two,” she muttered.

Edward shot Wendy a sharp glance, silencing her.

“Well, not bad,” Conner remarked. He stepped forward and patted Mason on the shoulder. “Looks like a rising star.”

“Of course! Our trainers are carefully selected! Edward emphasized.

Maeve sensed a hint of tension in Mason’s and Conner’s eyes and frowned. She didn’t miss the animosity in Conner’s gaze. Did these two know each other?
