The Three-Day Deadline

There were rumors that Queen had graduated from St. S Royal Academy, and Claire Bennett just so happened to be from St. S Royal Academy.

When the time came, they would push Claire Bennett out there. Once she was exposed for impersonating Queen and thoroughly humiliated, it would just so happen to draw everyone's attention and shift the focus away from the matter of her status as the Bennett family's daughter.

Then not only could they muddle through it, they could also stomp hard on Claire Bennett while they were at it.

It was simply too perfect!

...

Claire Bennett sat in her seat, looking somewhat distracted.

Her mind was still running over how she could find the owner of Kinley Estate. She had gone yesterday to ask their staff, but they simply had no information at all about the owner behind the scenes.

After running around half the day, she still had nothing to show for it.

Sigh... what other way was there?

This is so damn irritating!

Just when Claire Bennett was annoyed out of her mind, excited discussion suddenly broke out beside her and pulled all her attention over.

She turned to look and found that the Maison Verne employees had once again gathered together to gossip about something.

Claire Bennett had never liked taking part in things like this. She calmly looked away, but even though they seemed to have lowered their voices, she could still hear them clearly...

"Hey, hey, hey! Did you hear? Maison Verne just released the latest news. I heard Queen will attend our new product launch!"

Pfft! Cough, cough, cough...

Claire Bennett had just happened to pick up her cup to drink some water. She never expected to hear such earth-shattering gossip and nearly choked to death.

What?

Queen is going to attend the new product launch? How did she not know about this?

Now, even though Claire Bennett had no interest in gossip, she wanted to hear just how this false news had started spreading.

The employees chatting away didn't notice anything unusual about Claire Bennett. But Willow Lane glanced at her, and seeing her like this, thought she was mocking the idea that Queen was coming.

Willow Lane gave a quiet snort inwardly. Wasn't Claire Bennett just a graduate of St. S Royal Academy? Look how arrogant that had made her—she didn't even seem to take Queen seriously anymore.

When Queen showed up, wouldn't she completely overshadow her?

She really didn't know her place, acting like she was something special.

Willow Lane smiled. She was just waiting for Claire Bennett to make a fool of herself. When that happened, she would definitely kick her while she was down and stomp on her hard.

Hearing this explosive news, everyone was shocked.

Someone looked at Renee Parker and asked, "Renee Parker, is this true?"

Renee Parker was Maison Verne's HR manager. If Queen were going to join the company, she would definitely be the first to know.

Hearing that, everyone else also turned to Renee Parker, wanting to know whether this was true or not.

"Yeah, is this news real or fake? If Queen really is coming, then doesn't that mean we'll finally get to see what Queen really looks like? I've been curious about this person for a long time. I have no idea whether they're a man or a woman."

"Oh my God! I'm dying to know too! Renee Parker, hurry up and tell us!"

Hearing this, Renee Parker smiled mysteriously and said, "This is indeed true, and that's not all. Queen will also be joining our company!"

My God!

The Maison Verne employees all became even more excited.

But some people were a little doubtful and spoke up. "Queen is so amazing—how could someone like that possibly work under someone else? With her ability, no matter what, she should at least be design director, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At once, quite a few gazes landed on Claire Bennett.
