Chapter 66

After scanning their tickets, they made their way into the eagerly crowded exhibition hall. The large hall was crowded with people, vehicles, lifelike robots, and other exhibits. Each of the many exhibitions focused on its primary technology. As soon as Charlene and her friends walked in, they were enthralled. Stewart was so well-known that he had just been there when people began to swarm to greet him. Additionally, he spent time introducing Charlene to a few of his contacts. Vesta and her company had barely entered the exhibition hall when she turned to face the direction of the entrance, smiled, and greeted everybody.

Vesta paused. She was surprised to find Charlene there. After all, every spot was extremely valuable at this type of tech expo, which was a dream networking event for the elite. Given that Stewart is a significant shareholder in PrimeStar, the staff may not have objected to him adopting Charlene, an undergraduate student, under his wing. However, giving Charlene, a recent undergraduate recruit, such a prestigious expo spot undoubtedly infuriated the other PrimeStar elites. Stewart was a student of Kenton's, and although he split his time between business and his love for Al, Vesta had heard that his knowledge in the sector remained unrivaled. He had always been in charge of their company's product development.

PrimeStar had prospered over the years thanks to his aptitude for technology, value for talent, and the company's main stronghold, CUAP. Raleigh had always praised him, describing him as a great boss. But when Stewart decided not to hire her, Vesta had doubted his judgment because she thought he fell short of Raleigh's compliments. Then he had granted Charlene such an important showcase spot. She thought it was a total mess. Vesta scowled at the thought. Henley and Laverne both noticed Charlene and exchanged a startled expression. They didn't think she would be there. Charlene just gave them a quick glance before averting her gaze. Henley scowled and questioned Vesta, "Do you know that man?" That's Stewart?

after noticing Charlene having a friendly conversation with a tall man. With genuine amazement, Henley asked, "That's Stewart?" He was aware of Charlene's transfer from the Henderson Group to PrimeStar, but he was unaware of Stewart's admiration for her. Vesta was about to respond when someone walked up to them. "Ms. Hawkins, Mr. Hawkins, glad that you made it," Mr. Gallagher remarked. Henley and Vesta welcomed the new arrival. They had just two tickets at first, but following the "incident" at the charity banquet the previous evening, which made their relationship with Thorne the subject of intense rumors, Mr. When Gallagher found out they were missing a ticket to the Future Tech Expo, he had one shipped overnight in an attempt to win Thorne over.

The connection between Thorne and Vesta was widely recognized after last night's events. More individuals arrived to welcome them after they had a brief conversation with Mr. Gallagher. Their ensemble quickly gained attention and attracted interested looks from the audience. Mr. Roland said to Charlene, observing the excitement around the Hawkins family, "Over there, the Hawkins family; you've heard, right? Thorne and Ms. Hawkins share a strong bond. Observe them. Everyone is hurrying to socialize. There was a note of contempt in Mr. Roland's voice. Stewart was obviously aware of the situation surrounding Vesta at the charity gala last night.
