Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 581

The moment she stepped out of the elevator, Maeve Vance received a call from Parker Sterling, who was halfway across the world.

"Doesn't the Intelligent Competition start next month?"

Subject 1152's death had cast a dark cloud over Maeve's mood.

So, when Sterling nagged her over the phone about taking the Intelligent Competition seriously, her patience wore thin.

Sensing the irritation in her voice, Sterling asked, "Who was blind enough to piss you off this time?"

Maeve had been in a terrible mood.

But hearing Old Mr. Sterling's affectionate tone, the gloom suffocating her heart began to dissipate.

"No one pissed me off. I'm not that easily provoked."

"Sterling, it should be the middle of the night over there."

"Did you call me out of the blue just to remind me about the Intelligent Competition next month?"

Honestly, if Sterling hadn't reminded her, Maeve would have completely forgotten about it.

Sterling nagged like an anxious mother, "You better take this competition seriously. Don't let that bastard Renfield Yates make a fool out of us."

"I made a bet with him. If you lose, I have to hand over my position as principal."

Maeve scoffed. "Betting on something like this? Aren't you a little too old to be this childish?"

Sterling grumbled, "I just don't want that bastard to get the upper hand."

Maeve sighed in exasperation.

"Fine, fine. I'll take next month's competition seriously. As for whether you get to keep your job as principal, that's up to fate."

"Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

"You're not a young man anymore. Stop staying up late and go to bed."

She was about to hang up when Sterling stopped her.

"Maeve, I called you at this hour because I actually have official business."

"The higher-ups have assigned you a new mission. You're going to act as Pluto's deputy and assist him with a case."
