Chapter 388 
One of the sweet–looking ladies frowned. “What do you mean? Do you think that just because you have Gaby’s support, we wouldn’t dare to do anything to you?” 
“Marve, you only got into this practice room because of the attention you got online! We’ve been putting in real effort every day! Don’t you think what you’re

Marve raised an eyebrow and said, “You think it’s unfair?” 
“What do you think? Of course, it’s unfair ” 
The people around them chimed in as they couldn’t hide their resentment on their faces. 
Maeve said without changing her expression, “Nothing is fair in this world. Some people rely on their brains, some on their bodies, and some on their connections. And you want falmess in this industry? How naive!” 
unreasonable!” 

The sweet–looking woman in front, who claimed her dad was the director of Hackett Entertainment, stepped forward. “You’re being “I’m being unreasonable?” Maeve stepped closer and hooked her fingers around the six–figure necklace the woman was wearing. She continued, “This is a luxury brand from overseas, right? It’s at! “You got into this practice room because of your family background instead of working as hard as everyone else. You’re just like me, so, what right do you have to talk to me about faimess?” 
“You!” 
s at least so thousand. Do you think an ordinary person would spend that much on a need ace? 
Marve then turned to the cold–looking woman and said, “Are you going to tell me your family isn’t wealthy, but you still made it in? Well, let me tell you, it’s because you have a decent face. You also got in here thanks to the advantage of your appearance.” 
Maeve scanned the faces around her and asserted. “Each of you has your own reasons for being here. As for me, I’m here because I can generate publicity, which could benefit Hackett Entertainment. So, don’t underestimate anyone here!” 
With Maeve’s firm stance, none of the others could find words to refute her. 
rit. 
In a cold tone, she continued, “It any of you want to compete with me in the future, I’m down for it. But if you plan to play silly tricks against me, I’ll play along to the end.” 

She then took a seat and added, “However, I must warn you that I’m not someone to be messed with. So, think twice before resorting to violence, I’m not denying the fact that I got in through corections.” 
Maeve’s blunt confession about using connections to get in left everyone feeling uneasy 
They were all trying to make a name for themselves, so how could someone just casually admit to getting in through connections? 
like we don’t stand a 
The cure–looking girl frowned and said, “What’s the point of practicing anymore? She just admitted she got in through connections. It’s like we chance at all 
Another person chimed in, “Then why don’t you leave? As long as you can pay the penalty fee.” 
The mention of a penalty fee caught Maeve off guard. 
She recalled the earlier discussion about termination, but she couldn’t connect it with court notices. 
“It’s three million dollars! How could I afford to pay the company that much?” 
“If you can’t pay up, then just stick around and wait for your fate. The company will debut us eventually debut us to avoid losses. It’s just that some of us won’t be malding as much as others,” The cold–looking girl added as she glanced at Maeve 
From the beginning, Maeve noticed that this woman seemed to be the backbone of the team, almost like a captain figure. It was clear that the others listened to her. 
However, Marve didn’t dwell on this observation too much. 
Perhaps Maeve hadn’t taken the whole situation seriously either, considering it was Levi who had pushed her into this path. 
It seemed more like a strategic move to boost the reputation of the Hackett family and Mirage Group, especially since the Scott family went through bankruptcy. 
Moreover, Maeve hadn’t seen anything about penalties for quitting training in her contract terms 
She simply took the time to familiarize herself with the environment on her first day. 
That evening, Gaby showed her the personal profiles of 
of the entire group of trainees. 
The leader among them, the cold–looking girl, was named Cathy Burns. 
Another girl, whose father was the director of Hackett Entertainment, was Wendy Owen 
The cute–looking girl went by the name Dorothy Reeves. 
These three were the strongest contenders, while the rest of the group didn’t stand out much in terms of performance.
