Chapter 416 After finishing their conversation, Charlene and Stewart shifted gears and started talking business. A short while later, Professor Hancock called Charlene, asking if she was available to attend a panel discussion on artificial intelligence at St. Aurelia’s University the following week. Truth be told, St. Aurelia’s had sent
Chapter 415 Professor Hancock’s assistant had no idea that, just like Stewart, Charlene was also one of Kenton’s students. When Professor Hancock commented that Stewart was the real beneficiary of being paired with Charlene, Stewart spoke up. “Last night, during an interview, Mr. Ferguson mentioned that as Mr. Wagner’s student,
Chapter 414 Professor Hancock had no idea about the tension simmering between Charlene and Vesta. He picked up on Professor Mack’s words and added warmly, “That’s right, we were just discussing some recent developments in our field. Ms. Hawkins is also in AI, more minds, more ideas. It’s perfect for
Chapter 413 Charlene nodded and settled onto the sofa by the coffee table. Thorne gave another instruction. “Have someone bring in some coffee.” Josh responded promptly, “I’ve already taken care of it.” No sooner had he spoken than Sunny Fields appeared at the door, carrying a tray and knocking politely
Chapter 412 After their round of golf, Charlene Ross and Darius still had other plans for the afternoon. Thorne Henderson and Vesta Hawkins had joined them midway but seemed to sense that Charlene’s group had somewhere else to be. Not wanting to intrude, Thorne offered, “We have some things to
Chapter 411 They chatted as they played golf, but honestly, it was pretty clear that Abelard and Darius were far more interested in their conversation than the actual game At first, they talked about world events, but soon enough, Abelard and Darius got caught up in a lively, on-the-spot strategy
Chapter 410 Darius looked over at Thorne with a grin. “Hey, since you’re here, why don’t you stick around and join the fun for a bit?” Thorne shrugged, smiling. “Sure, why not?” After a bit of small talk between them, Darius turned back to Hickey, Stewart, and the rest. “Now,
Chapter 409 After dinner, Jasmine followed Charlene back to the Ross family’s place. That night, her phone buzzed. It was Darius. “Hey,” he said, “how about you and Stewart join me for a round of golf tomorrow morning?” Charlene agreed without thinking much about it. But when Darius texted her
Chapter 408 Although Charlene and Stewart had already made it clear to Chester that they weren’t interested in meeting with Kevitt Smith, that didn’t seem to stop him. Two days later, Kevitt Smith showed up anyway, uninvited. Since he’d made the effort to come in person, Charlene and Stewart figured
Chapter 407 Charlene honestly couldn’t care less about what Thorne thought of her, or how he looked at her. After they left the diner, she and Stewart headed back to Henderson Technologies for another round of meetings. This time, Maureen and Leah didn’t tag along. But Vesta did. When Stewart
Chapter 406 Thorne hadn’t even had a chance to say anything before his phone started buzzing. He stepped outside to take the call, and by the time he returned, the waitress was already laying out plates of roast chicken, mashed potatoes, and Caesar salads. Just like that, Moran’s awkward question
Chapter 405 “A single research paper, and suddenly she’s better than my sister?” Leah thought, biting back the words before she could say them out loud. But before she had the chance, Vesta jumped in, her tone smooth and composed. “Mr. Ferguson’s right. If there’s an opportunity, I’d love to
Chapter 404 I can’t believe it’s actually Charlene! Dalton, Maureen, and Leah-none of them are Al majors, so they don’t really grasp just how groundbreaking Charlene’s paper is. But there’s one thing they do know: Vesta’s PhD advisor, Dr. Kevin Smith, is a huge name in the Al world. The
Chapter 403 Vesta was once again the star of the show, and the Spencers and the Hawkinses couldn’t have been more delighted. Leah shot a smug look at Charlene. Maureen was also beaming with pride for her daughter. Charlene, on the other hand, as always, couldn’t have cared less. She
Chapter 402 As soon as the words left his mouth, there was a knock at the door. It was Moran and Granger. Moran swung the door open, eyebrows shooting up at the crowd inside. “Whoa, didn’t expect this many people!” This was his family’s restaurant, after all. He and Granger
Chapter 401 Communication? There was pretty much zero of that happening between them. Not that it mattered, with so many people around. He had no reason to confide in Professor Mack, anyway. They barely knew each other-just two ships passing in the night. He put on a polite, half-hearted smile.
Chapter 400 As soon as the words left her mouth, York barely had time to react before Charlene’s phone buzzed. Glancing at the screen, she muttered, “Something urgent came up at the data center. I have to run,” and hurried off. The next morning, Charlene left the compound early. After
Chapter 399 Charlene nodded quickly, then turned to York. “Sorry, I can’t make it to lunch with you.” York smiled warmly. “No worries.” With that, Charlene left. York watched her and Kenton walk away, then headed to the cafeteria for lunch on his own. He hadn’t taken a real break
Chapter 398 Sunday was Mother’s Day. Jasmine arrived at the Ross family home on Saturday. Thorne’s driver dropped her off. For her Mother’s Day gift, Jasmine gave her mom a handmade card. On the front, in careful handwriting, it said, “Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.” “Isn’t it pretty? My teacher said
Chapter 397 The folks in New Albury recognized Helena Ross the moment she walked in. But seeing that neither the Hawkins nor the Spencer families said a word about it, everyone immediately understood that the Hawkinses didn’t want any old drama with the Rosses getting dragged back into the spotlight.
