Priscilla arrived wearing sunglasses, followed by a troupe of famous male models, creating quite the spectacular entrance. These male models were all her assistants. She took them everywhere, making quite a show of it.She had been waiting outside the testing grounds for over half an hour, but hadn't appeared before the public. After all, it was hard to predict what might happen when autonomous trucks traveled at high speeds. Only after the experiment succeeded did she make her fashionably late appearance before everyone."Elara, you've given me another wonderful surprise."Priscilla approached Elara, finally showing public affection toward her.Elara stood up. "Next, I might have an even bigger surprise for you."Priscilla looked surprised as Elara walked past her. Elara glanced in Theodore's direction. He understood exactly what Elara meant from just that one look.Theodore immediately stood and walked toward her. He hurried to Elara's side in quick strides."What's wrong?" Th
Harvey said nothing and ignored Angie, so she took a seat beside Beau. Upon seeing Beau, her eyes lit up. "You must be Beau Fisher. You look just like your father."Beau was naturally pleased to hear Angie's comment. He loved it when people said he resembled Harvey. His father was omnipotent in his eyes—an unreachable yet beloved mountain he aspired to climb."Hello, ma'am."Beau gave Angie a sweet smile. With his delicate features and adorable appearance, he could easily capture hearts even without smiling.Beau noticed Angie wearing a Quantum Tech employee badge. He looked in Elara's direction, gazing at her back longingly.Angie noticed Beau's expression and asked, "How long has it been since you talked to your mommy?"Beau asked, "Do you know my mommy?"Angie showed him her employee badge. "I'm the Technical Director at Quantum Tech. Your mommy is now Quantum Tech's CEO. Only she has the privilege of sitting in the front row, hosting city officials.""So, you and Mommy are
"Want to see more?" Theodore asked him. "I don't mind showing you, but I'm worried you can't handle it."Harvey's eyes radiated coldness, though his lips curled into a cold smile. "I heard you and my ex-wife broke up. Ha! To think you got dumped by my ex-wife. Seems you're not exactly prime material after all!"Harvey leaned back in his chair with casual confidence. He regarded everyone with an air of superiority, fully displaying his arrogance and dignity.Theodore's voice deepened. "Previously, my relationship with Elara was contractual—something you should understand well, Mr. Fisher."Harvey let out a derisive laugh, cold and dismissive in equal measure."But when you play a role long enough, feelings inevitably develop. So now, I'm pursuing her."Theodore's gaze swept across Harvey's face, his eyes dancing with amusement. "Unlike someone here who's not even qualified to pursue her.""Pursue who?" Harvey asked with feigned seriousness. "My ex-wife? Why would that matter to m
After Harvey remained silent for two seconds, Angie gave him a meaningful look. "So, you do have such plans."The man clicked his tongue in displeasure, feeling inexplicably irritated. "I never go back to an ex. When I close that door, it stays closed."Angie nodded. "I don't believe someone like Elara deserves you, Mr. Fisher. Women who are truly worthy of you are exceedingly rare."Harvey shot her a cold look. Though they sat at the same table, Angie could feel the man's condescending attitude.But his aloof pride didn't bother her. She had always been drawn to power. Such high standards were only natural for someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth.Angie said to him solemnly, "Mr. Fisher, I truly need your help. Whenever you need someone, please consider me first. A woman like me would only enhance your image in public."Angie had her own pride and spoke with complete confidence.However, Harvey clearly found her words distasteful. He had his own criteria for judging a
Angie took a breath and said, "Elara and I are technically at the same level within Quantum Tech."At first, I was quite curious about how your ex-wife, who is clearly out of her depth, managed to get Ms. Price to appoint her as CEO. Later, though, I heard rumors that Ms. Price and your former father-in-law had some romantic history."Angie asked the server for a black iced coffee. Looking out the window, she smiled and continued, "I've heard that your former father-in-law and Ms. Price are quite close. Perhaps he asked her to find a position for his daughter."When I was in Melcina, I'd heard that business in Eucon operates on relationships and connections, but I never imagined that connections could outweigh everything else."Harvey offered no comment on Angie's remarks, though he somewhat agreed with her. Elara securing the top position at Quantum Tech did seem unusual.But from what Angie was saying, it was clear she didn't respect Elara. Realizing this, Harvey couldn't help b
Harvey stared at the signature on the invitation, examining the letters "Elara Jones" repeatedly.For a moment, he felt as if he no longer recognized those letters. The name Elara had become so foreign to him.He had spent less than a month at Atkina Church, but upon his return, the world seemed to have completely transformed. When he had signed the divorce papers, he could never have imagined that one day, he would receive a business invitation from Elara."Hmph." A soft laugh escaped Harvey's throat.His ex-wife had certainly struck gold.Only those holding this invitation were permitted to observe Quantum Tech's first field test of its autonomous trucks. Even though Fisher Corp was Quantum Tech's partner, they wouldn't have been allowed onto the test site without this invitation.Harvey murmured, "Has Quantum Tech made progress so quickly?"Cyrus informed him, "The lights at Quantum Tech Tower haven't gone off before midnight under Ms. Jones's leadership. I hear Ms. Jones mad
