Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 576

"But the reality is, he didn't make it to midnight," Audrey added, turning to Simon.

"Boss, you set the rules. You wouldn't arbitrarily break them for anyone, would you?"

Connor, firmly believing in Maeve's abilities, vehemently opposed Audrey's heavy-handed ruling.

"Rules are made by people, and they can be broken by people," he argued.

He glanced at the other colleagues who had followed them inside.

"What's your take on this?"

The people Connor addressed were all top-tier executives of Lab C.

They had long heard about the seven-day agreement Maeve signed with the lab.

They also knew that this young woman was a rare talent the lab desperately wanted to recruit.

But the current situation left them at a loss for words.

Both Connor and Audrey were figures of authority in Lab C, effectively serving as the right and left hands to the big boss, Simon Grover.

Now that the two of them were at odds, siding with either one would inevitably lead to resentment down the line.

Furthermore, an unspoken secret circulated within the lab.

Simon and Audrey weren't just ordinary supervisor and subordinate; they had secretly been dating for a while.

It was highly likely that in the near future, Audrey would become the unofficial lady of Lab C.

Everyone could tell that she harbored intense hostility toward Maeve.

Anyone foolish enough to blindly side with Maeve would basically be making an enemy out of the future boss's wife.

None of them wanted to stick their necks out like that.

One of them neatly tossed the problem back to Simon.

"Our opinions don't matter. What matters is what the Boss thinks."

As the ultimate authority in the lab, Simon had the final say on whether Maeve stayed or left.

Since stepping into the room, he had kept a dark expression, not uttering a single unnecessary word.

He thoughtfully observed Maeve's reaction.

"You want him to leave with dignity, but I want him to leave with clarity."

Audrey could clearly feel Maeve targeting her.

"Are you implying that I killed him?"

"Until the autopsy results are out, everyone is a suspect," Maeve replied smoothly. "And yes, that includes you."

The executives watching from the sidelines suddenly felt a bit wronged.

The guy was dead, what did that have to do with them?

Maeve's defiant attitude infuriated Audrey.

"Since the day you signed the contract with the lab, neither I nor anyone else here has stepped foot into this room."

"You set his daily schedule for fresh air on the rooftop, and you personally formulated the nutrients keeping him alive."

"If you're trying to pin his death on innocent people, I suggest you drop it right now."

"You failed. Accept reality and stop trying to shift the blame onto others."
