Chapter 438
Gaby swept the room with a cold glare. “It was my idea for Marve to look for Mason. Who said they were dating?”
“What?” Cathy was stunned. She hadn’t expected Gaby to be behind Maeve meeting Mason. Her face went pale. “But just now, they clearly.
As Cathy replayed the scene in her mind, she realized Maeve and Mason hadn’t displayed any signs of intimacy. It was just that Mason rarely defended anyone, which had thrown
her off.
Maeve’s voice was icy. “Your jealousy is the problem. You incited others to spread rumors about Mason and me, but the one who really wants to control him is you.”
Cathy tried to argue, but Marve cut her off. “You can’t even admit you have feelings for him. Seems like your feelings for him aren’t that significant, then. No wonder Mason doesn’t give you a second glance.”
“You-”
“You were the one who made a mistake. But out of jealousy, you tried to drag me down by spreading rumors.
“Did you ever consider that if people believed I was dating Mason, you’d be ruining his future too? You‘ re utterly selfish. How do you expect him to tall for you?
Maeve’s words crushed Cathy’s defenses. She stood there dumbfounded as she was too defeated to respond.
Maeve turned to Gaby. “Deal with Cathy as you see fit. I’m sure Mr. Owen will make the right decision.”
Gaby looked at Cathy and asked, “Are you leaving on your own, or should I have someone escort you out?
“I’ll walk on my own.” Cathy followed Gaby, trying to hold onto a shred of dignity.
Maeve remained silent and let Gaby lead Cathy away.
“I want my dad to fireher!” Wendy demanded.
If Cathy was fired for breaking the rules, she wouldn’t have to pay the penalty fees, but she would still owe at least half a million dollars for her training and accommodation.
The crowd quickly dispersed.
The next morning, Maeve saw Cathy packing her belongings in the trainee dormitory
“She was our leader for so long. What a joke.”
“She pretended to be virtas, but who knew she’d stoop to such lowly tactiques behind our backs?”
“Who would’ve thought Cathy, who always seemed uninterested in guys, actually had a crush on Mason? I wonder how Mason will react when he finds out she spread rumors
of jealousy.”
People were
eping on, and Cathy gritted her teeth to hold back. But at the mention of Mason, she visibly reached her limit.
“Even though I’m leaving, don’t think I won’t come back stronger. All of you. You better watch out!” Cathy rarely spoke so harshly. Then, she pushed her suitcase out of the dorm.
Marve stood outside the door. Cathy looked at her and sneered, “You’re also here to gloat?”
“Yes and no,” Maeve said indifferently, “I could’ve offered you a way out, but unfortunately
Cathy interrupted with a cold laugh. “Offer me a way out? You? A fallen heiress who relies on men? What right do you have to lecture me?
“I climbed up from nothing. And you you just had the advantage of a good background and connections!”
