Chapter 422: Chapter 432

.

Chapter 432 Maeve’s words were meant to prick Conner because they shared knowledge of the five–billion–dollar affair hanging heavily between them. Conner’s smile faded.

Nearby, Dorothy whispered, “Is Maeve nuts? Who does she think she is, dancing for five billion dollars?”

“How dare she speak to Mr. Jefferson like that? She’s done for,” muttered another.

Everyone awaited Marve’s inevitable downfall, but she merely gazed calmly at Conner.

Conner said indifferently, “I’m suddenly not in the mood today. Since Ms. Scott twisted her ankle, let’s call it off”

Seeing Conner move on at last, Edward silently wiped the sweat from his forehead. With Sergio backing Maeve and Conner as head of the Jefferson family, he couldn’t afford to offend either Mr. Jefferson, if Maeve won’t dance, I will 1 dance much better than Maeve.” Wendy volunteered again.

But this time, Conner didn’t even spare her a glance. He stood up and announced, “That’s enough for now, I hear the trainees have training this afternoon?”

“Yes, but their high–intensity training sessions are usually in the morning.” Edward replied.

“Then have them simulate the morning session this afternoon I’ll observe,” Conner said.

The female trainees‘ faces fell. More training? Training required them to be barefaced, but they couldn’t have possibly returned to their dorms to remove their makeup now!

Only Maeve was makeup–free, leaving the others in a predicament.

Cathy had gone makeup–free that moming, but upon learning both male and female trainees would be present, she had applied light makeup. Her expression soured at the thought of sweating it off during training “No problem! I’ll have them gather at the training ground right away!” Edward said.

After seeing Conner off, Wendy burried to whisper a few words to Edward. Despite his reluctance, he had someone escort her away.

With that, Wendy walked off with Gaby, wearing a smug and arrogant expression.

When they arrived at the training ground, Wendy was the last to show up. Her heavy makeup had been completely removed, revealing a fresh–faced look “So that’s where she disappeared to–to remove her makeup!”

“Her connections set her apart from the rest of us. After all, her dad is the chairman”

Despite their discontent, some trainees only dared to whisper when Wendy was out of earshot.

Meanwhile, Conner approached and said, “Let’s start with 30 laps.”

“30 laps?” Edward was taken aback, and even the male trainees‘ faces fell “They’ve already had high–intensity training this morning. Running 30 laps now would be too much for them,” Gaby remarked, frowning, “If they can’t handle this, they won’t make it in the industry,” Conner replied coldly, unfazed.

After taking a seat, he continued, “I be here watching till they finish 30 laps. Well, they should be able to finish in an hour.”

30 laps equaled over six miles! Conner was clearly looking to stir up trouble.

Edward took a deep breath and addressed the trainees. “You heard Mr. Jefferson. Stop wasting time and start running!”
