Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 461

Audrey's competitive streak flared at Maeve's unapologetic arrogance.

"I'm afraid if I lay it all out, it'll shatter that laughable confidence of yours," she scoffed.

"Sure, you got into Aethelburg University with a perfect score, but Lab C is packed with the brightest minds in the world. What exactly do you bring to the table?"

"You have no real-world experience and zero track record."

"Demanding your own project team right out of the gate? I have to ask, Miss Vance, where does this delusion come from?"

"Do you have any idea how much manpower, energy, and time a single project consumes?"

"Every development that comes out of Lab C gains global recognition."

"Don't tell me you're naive enough to think this place is anything like your little campus chemistry labs."

As far as Audrey was concerned, Maeve had a pretty face and absolutely nothing between her ears.

Just a kid who had no idea how the real world worked.

Relying on the stunning looks God gave her to pull some childish stunt and catch a man's eye.

Having worked alongside Simon for years, Audrey knew his temperament perfectly.

The more rebellious and distinct a woman was, the more she drew his attention.

The man lived for impossible challenges.

Maeve had clearly figured out his contrarian nature and was using this exact method to bait him.

After all, Simon was the second son of the Grover Family and the renowned head of Lab C.

He had the pedigree and the striking looks to match.

For a total nobody like Maeve, armed with nothing but a pretty face and zero backing, bagging a billionaire was the ultimate goal.

She inevitably had to play mind games to climb her way up the Grover Family's social ladder.

Audrey couldn't stop the girl's ridiculous gold-digging fantasies.

But when it came to their professional field, she absolutely refused to stand by and watch.

Listening to her ramble on, Maeve's patience wore thin.

"There's really no need to flex in a field you know nothing about, Miss Sinclair."

Maeve met her gaze with a nonchalant, deliberate calm.

"That flagship product your team spent years developing? It will be entirely obsolete within three months."

Then, Maeve dropped the real bombshell.

"And if you must know why, I have no problem telling you."

"Because the one rendering it obsolete is me."

Audrey looked ready to pass out from sheer fury at the breath-taking arrogance of the statement.

Even Simon, who had been quietly enjoying the show, cast an intrigued glance Maeve's way.

"Are you serious, or just running your mouth?"

Maeve met his eyes with a half-smile.

"Give me my own project at Lab C, and every single 'impossible' will become reality."

The more breathtakingly arrogant she acted, the more Simon and his top executives felt she was just desperate to make a name for herself.
