Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 812

Jasper bristled. "Slade, you jerk!"

Watching them erupt again, Maeve massaged her temples. "If anyone tries to tell me there isn't massive sexual tension between you two, I'm calling their bluff."

The aggressively competitive Slade went dead silent.

The stubbornly defiant Jasper did the same.

With Slade and Jasper's chaotic entrance, the previously tense and unfamiliar group in the room managed to break the ice and get a feel for one another.

As the initiator of today's gathering, Andres had booked an exclusive conference room on the seventeenth floor of The Grand Horizon Hotel.

"Gentlemen, before we officially begin, would you like me to make introductions?" Andres offered.

Declan, Leonardo, and Corbin were all Aethelburg locals. Even if they didn't interact much in private, they frequently crossed paths at high-society events. Slade, as a titan of the Port Caspian business world, was already a household name in corporate circles.

What surprised everyone was the presence of the Reed family from Gotham, an organization that rarely dabbled in Aethelburg's affairs. Declan and Leonardo had shared a brief overlap with Mason Reed during a previous trip to Lumiere City. They weren't close—at best, they were casual acquaintances.

Corbin, who hadn't attended the Lumiere City summit, was surprised to see Mason in Andres's inner circle. "I didn't expect VP Reed to be interested in this partnership."

Mason adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses resting on his nose. Faced with Corbin's curiosity, he offered a good-natured smile. "Just like the rest of you, I'm highly intrigued by the two products Maeve debuted at the Intelligent Competition."

"I heard Maeve has more surprises in store for us today. I didn't want to miss a golden opportunity, so I came to Aethelburg to see them with my own eyes."

Slade, as usual, cut straight to the chase.

"What I don't get is, it's just two smart tech items. Why invite so many people to the table?"
