Chapter 206
Maeve had no intention of arguing, but Clara’s arrogance had to be dealt with if she wanted to continue
with a smooth internship.
“Ms. Scott! I didn’t expect you to come in
turned to shock when he saw Maeve. Wh, on!” Rob approached with a smile, but his expression
was going on?
“This is Ms. Scott. She’s also Mr. Brooks‘ wife,” Zayla explained.
The color drained from Rob’s face. “Mr. Brooks‘ wife?”
He glanced between Maeve and Clara. “So, you are Mr. Brooks‘ wife, and she…”
Clara frowned, clearly displeased.
Rob nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Sergio had never brought Maeve to events, so they didn’t know what she looked like or that the Scott family’s heiress was studying at Amenam University.
“Mr. Tomkins, you seem nervous,” Maeve said, amused by his reaction.
“No, no. I just didn’t expect you to intern here, Mrs. Brooks. Our company is truly honored,” Rob
stammered.
“Oh? I thought I was lucky to intern here since I got into Amenam University through connections,” Maeve
replied, making Erika uneasy.
“Mrs. Brooks, you’re being too kind!” Rob was sweating nervously. He couldn’t afford to offend either side
-one was the legal wife while the other was the mistress!
“Mr. Tomkins, here’s the contract. There’s no need to discuss it further. This year’s contract ends now; and Mr. Grant won’t be renewing with Tomkins Corporation next year,” Maeve said, handing the contract
to Rob.
Rob was trembling.
Clara protested, “Maeve, the planning department has worked hard on this project. Isn’t it too heartless of you to cancel everything with just one word?”
“Oh? What do you suggest I do then, Ms. Stewart?” Maeve replied mockingly.
Clara stood tall and said confidently, “You’ve been interning at Tomkins Corporation for a few days, Didn’t you see how hard everyone has worked? What gives you the right to cancel the contract with just one
word?”
“Because I’m the boss of Scott Media, and I make all the decisions,” Maeve replied.
She watched Clara in disdain. “In business settings, effort alone isn’t enough. I think you’re not suitable to
work here. You’d be better off in a convent.”
“You!” Clara was at a loss for words.

“Mrs. Brooks is right. Our planning does have some shortcomings…” Rob couldn’t afford to offend Maeve,
especially since she and Sergio were still married. He wouldn’t be so foolish as to side with a mistress.
“Mr. Tomkins, I am, first and foremost, the boss of Scott Media. Only after that am I Mrs. Brooks,” Maeve
replied.
“Y–Yes, Ms. Scott! I misspoke. Please forgive me,” Rob said hastily.
“Please bear with us if there were any issues during your time at Tomkins Corporation. We will ensure
such incidents do not happen again in the future!”
