Simon had already run a comprehensive background check on her.
Her grades were phenomenal, and her natural talent was off the charts.
Beyond that, she was strikingly gorgeous.
But that was it.
At least according to the dossier, Maeve had never actually produced any groundbreaking results.
Making such wild, boastful claims made it entirely too easy to doubt her sanity.
Did she have some hidden powerhouse backing her?
Was it the White Family?
While the White Family's empire spanned countless industries, their reputation in medical and cosmetic fields was mediocre at best.
Relying on a young girl with zero credentials to create a miracle for the White Family sounded utterly absurd.
Audrey gritted her teeth. "Perfect. I will patiently wait for you to deliver on that promise."
Maeve flashed her a brilliant smile and held up a single index finger.
"Starting now, you have exactly one year left."
"A year from now, the position of Team B Leader at Lab C will have absolutely nothing to do with you."
Audrey was mentally screaming.
This girl was so infuriatingly cocky it was physically painful.
Connor hadn't expected the notoriously sharp-tongued Audrey to ever get backed into a corner.
Suppressing a laugh, he looked at the brazen young woman.
"Definitely a kid. You haven't quite learned how to filter yourself yet, have you?"
Maeve shrugged. "I can't help it. That's the fundamental difference between a genius and an ordinary person."
"In the eyes of a genius, rules are just white noise."
"Only average people treat those little boxes and boundaries like gospel."
"When you stood out with your off-the-charts IQ back in the day, Mr. Yates, I imagine you felt exactly the same way I do now."
He and Audrey were chosen to lead Teams A and B precisely because of their god-tier intellect and unmatched skills.
Age meant nothing in Lab C; only raw talent mattered.
Becoming one of the elite here meant being draped in honor and prestige.
And yet, this completely unknown girl was sitting there acting like they were nothing special.
Suddenly, Connor really wanted to crush this arrogant little girl's ego.
"Boss, I'll take charge of Miss Vance's entrance trial. Consider it done."
Audrey's vicious need to win had also been successfully weaponized.
"I'm in too!"
With both Team A and Team B leaders teaming up to 'torture' a rookie, Simon could only imagine how brutal her upcoming ordeal would be.
Unexpectedly, Maeve broke into a satisfied smile.
"If you two had just been this straightforward from the start, I wouldn't have had to put on such an exhausting act."
