The following day, Maeve arrived at Hackett Entertainment in Zion's private car.
Rumors of Sergio whisking Maeve away had already spread like wildfire among the trainees. Also, Hailey's commotion at the mall had become the talk of the town over coffee breaks.
"Some people just can't grasp their own status. Does she even understand who she is? It's ridiculous that she's aiming to marry back into wealth."
"Did you all see the car that brought her back today? Tsk. Looks like she's got some serious backers.
"A bankrupt heiress can only stoop to this kind of work, right?"
…
Whispers filled the air, but Maeve remained unfazed.
Wendy approached Maeve, saying, "Looks like Mr. Brooks' investment in Hackett Entertainment is tanking because of you, Maeve.
"What's the point of causing a scene if you didn't really want a divorce? In the end, you won't gain anything."
Maeve raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb. We all know the Scott family is bankrupt now.
"You're desperate to reconcile with Mr. Brooks, but with your current status, becoming Mrs. Brooks again is out of the question. As long as Mr. Brooks Senior disagrees, forget about turning your fortunes around."
Wendy was clearly peeved, especially after seeing Edward bowing and scraping to Sergio yesterday.
Despite both being trainees here, Maeve flaunted her title as Mrs. Brooks, commanding respect from everyone.
Another trainee chimed in, "Exactly! You were so adamant about divorcing Mr. Brooks, but what now?
It's been ages, and there's still no sign of a divorce. Seems like you were just hoping to pressure Mr. Brooks into leaving his pregnant mistress."
"Oh well, Mr. Brooks can get any woman that he wants. I heard Mrs. Brooks Senior has already chosen Ms. Hoffman to be the next Mrs. Brooks.
"You should divorce him sooner rather than later. Maybe he'll feel sorry for you and give you some money."
"Mr. Jefferson? From Lentimas City?"
Some eyes lit up with excitement. Conner had already won over many female fans with his romantic gestures toward Clara. Thus, they all wanted to meet this reputedly domineering CEO.
Gaby added indifferently, "Who else but Mr. Jefferson from Lentimas City? This is a rare opportunity. Get yourselves ready and come out."
Upon hearing Gaby's command, the practice room buzzed with excitement. These trainees came from affluent backgrounds, none more wealthy than Wendy, who had her eyes set on someone like Conner.
Thus, the female trainees quickly took out their makeup kits from their bags to touch up their looks.
Maeve frowned. Conner visiting Hackett Entertainment had to mean something significant.
Could it have been because of the news she released yesterday? Conner wouldn't have come all the way here just for that, would he?
But before Maeve could dwell on it further, everyone was already rushing downstairs.
