Chapter 807
Raleigh didn’t look at the audience, nor did he pay attention to anyone else’s reactions. He didn’t even give Vesta a chance to speak.
Hearing Dr. Lucas’s words, he let out a mocking scoff. “Oh? Is that so? What makes you think that, Dr. Lucas? Was it the papers she published, or did you just chat with her and confirm her abilities are truly outstanding?”
Dr. Lucas was about to say yes, but Raleigh stared him down, pressing on without letting him get a word in edgewise. “But are you sure you really know her well enough? Are you certain she’s as exceptional as you think?”
Raleigh’s words carried a hidden edge.
When the crowd first witnessed this scene, most of them were quite confused, unsure of what was going on.
However, the majority of the people present-whether they were in the Al industry or not, and regardless of whether they understood the significance of the papers Charlene had published or the awards she had won-knew that PrimeStar Technologies was currently spearheaded by Charlene and Stewart.
Word had it that Charlene was able to achieve this because the technical support and problem-solving skills she provided during their collaborations were on par with Stewart’s.
As a result, many tech heavyweights who had worked with her adored Charlene and were full of praise for her capabilities.
In other words, Charlene’s abilities were indeed outstanding.
No one thought it was strange that Dr. Lucas wanted to take her on as his student.
As for Mr. Henderson’s girlfriend… aside from that title, no one had really heard anything about her having exceptional talent.
If her abilities were as outstanding as Charlene’s, shouldn’t she have become Mr. Henderson’s right-hand woman by now, just like Charlene was to Stewart?
Therefore, watching the drama unfold, many assumed Vesta was simply bitter about not being chosen by Dr. Lucas and had deliberately caused a scene.
But listening to it now, it seemed like there was more to the story.
Dr. Lucas naturally caught the underlying implication in Raleigh’s words.
He frowned. “What are you trying to say?”
Raleigh smiled. Only then did he turn to the audience, his gaze landing on Charlene and Stewart. “Everyone here might not know this, but I used to be an employee at PrimeStar Technologies.”
The moment Raleigh said this, the crowd let out a collective gasp of surprise.
They truly hadn’t expected Raleigh to have worked at PrimeStar.
The more Raleigh spoke, the more panicked Vesta became.
But Raleigh didn’t give anyone a chance to intervene. He quickly pulled his gaze away from Charlene and Stewart, looking back at Dr Lucas as he continued. “I originally joined PrimeStar because of their programming language.
“During the time we worked together, I always thought Mr. Ferguson was someone who loved Al-a highly creative and
QU
pure-hearted individual. That was unty one day, my junior mentioned she also wanted to join PrimeStar. Since she was extremely interested in their programming language, and I figured working under Mr.
Ferguson would help us both grow, I introduced her to him.”
“Everything was fine when they met. Mr. Ferguson was very satisfied with her. After all… she was admitted to college at fourteen and later got into one of the top three universities in the world, easily becoming a PhD student under Mr. Smith. With a resume like that, calling her a genius wouldn’t be an exaggeration, right?”
Before Raleigh could even finish, the audience had already figured out that the ‘junior’ he was referring to was Vesta.
At the same time, waves of shock and awe rippled through the crowd.
They knew Vesta was quite capable, but they hadn’t known the specific details.
Hearing Raleigh lay it out, they realized Vesta was truly impressive. Suddenly, it made sense why Thorne treated her so well and loved her so deeply.
