Chapter 427


    Just as the atmosphere grew tense, Maeve suddenly spoke up, “It <b>seems </b>Mr. <b>Jefferson </b>has quite a soft spot for the male trainees. Looks like the female trainees don’t stand a chance at getting the investment now.”


    Her insinuation was clear–she was suggesting Conner was gay


    Conner frowned slightly and withdrew the hand he had ced on Mason’s shoulder.


    Edward nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead after bearing Maeve’sment. He couldn’t help but marvel at Maeve’s unabashed boldness. <b>She </b>always spoke her mind, no


    matter what.


    “M–Maeve is just joking around,” Edward stammered “Mr. Jefferson would obviously invest in all of you, not just the male trainees. Besides, Mr. Jefferson is a real man..” As Edward’s exnation only made things worse, everyone around couldn’t help butugh


    “Mrs. Brooks, it appears I’ve somehow offended you, hence yourment.” Conner’s lone shifted mockingly toward Maeve.


    Maeve shrugged. “Mr. Jefferson, are you joking? How could you have possibly offended me?”


    “The news..” Conner leaned in closer and whispered, “Was that you?”


    “I knew Maeve had ulterior <b>motives</b>, but using this tactic to seduce Mr. Jefferson is low!”


    “How shameless! She’s acting Ule a slut right in front of everyone.”


    Seeing this, Mason frowned and pushed Conner away from <b>Marve</b>. “Mr. Jefferson, mind your distance.”


    Cathy noticed this and bit her lip. She was clearly upset.


    Maeve shed an innocent look <b>as </b>she said, “Mr. Jefferson<b>, </b>it has nothing to do with me. <b>Thave </b>no idea why those rumors appeared online. Don’t use me of it.”


    “You’d better be right.” Conner raised <b>an </b>eyebrow. “I thought Mrs. Brooks wasn’t the kind of person to break promises too<b>.</b><b>”</b>


    Unfortunately, Maeve definitely was.


    “I need to review something here. If everything checks out, we can sign the contract. I’ll Invest in both groups of trainees.” “Alright, great! No problem!” Edward eximed


    As Conner decided to invest, <b>Mason’s </b>frown deepened. Conner gave him a meaningful look before taming to leave.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Zander was bewildered and asked, “What was that look about? Is he actually interested in you?”

    “I can’t believe the Jefferson family has such a drama queen. He’s pretending to be a devoted lover while messing around behind the scenes!” Marve’sment sessfully misled everyone about Conner’s .


    “Come with <b>me </b>for a moment.” Mason invited Maeve aside for a private conversation, drawing envious and jealous nces from the other female trainees.


    “Mason never talks to girls. Why is he so close to Macre?”


    “She’s been here only a few days and she’s already seducing men! How shameless!”


    Someone nearby asked, “Cathy, didn’t you live in the same neighborhood as Mason? What’s your rtionship with him be? Does he have a girlfriend?


    Cathy’s face darkened. Even though she lived in the same neighborhood as Mason, he rarely spoke to her and <b>was </b>always distant. She had never seen him actively invite a woman to talk <b>before</b>.


    Meanwhile, Mason coldly


    coldly asked Maeve, “What’s your rtionship with Conner?”
