Chapter 887
She hung up the phone, and Maureen Spencer asked, “Who was that? What happened?”
Vesta Hawkins briefly explained what had happened, and both the Spencer and Hawkins families were overjoyed.
Leah Spencer jumped up excitedly, her eyes turning red with happiness. “I knew it! Thorne only has you in his heart! That Charlene Ross is nothing to him!”
Rhoda chimed in, “Exactly. Even if Charlene is excellent, Thorne didn’t love her before, and he certainly wouldn’t start liking her now!”
Maureen Spencer smiled as well.
Truthfully, the revelation that Charlene was both a shareholder of PrimeStar Technologies and a student of Dr. Wagner had thoroughly shocked her.
She never expected Charlene to have… such incredible fortune.
The current Charlene was indeed the center of attention.
Seeing Charlene so outstanding and successful, Maureen genuinely worried that Thorne Henderson might develop romantic feelings for her. After all, over the past year, his attitude toward Charlene had noticeably shifted due to her brilliance.
So, for the past month, she had constantly kept an eye on Charlene’s movements.
Because of this, she also knew that even though Thorne had cut off contact with Vesta after Dr. Lucas’s gala, he had practically zero private interaction with Charlene either.
This was why she hadn’t completely panicked even when Vesta couldn’t reach Thorne.
Henley Hawkins also breathed a sigh of relief. “If Neural Nexus Tech can stay afloat, we won’t lose everything even if our tech company goes under.”
With things taking a sudden turn for the better, Leah was too thrilled to sit still. “Exactly! Besides, since there’s good news about Neural Nexus Tech, maybe in a little while, Thorne will help us solve the tech company’s issues too!”
Forrest Spencer laughed loudly. “Yes, yes!”
Vesta held her phone and smiled.
Just then, another call came in.
She answered it casually.
Like the previous calls, this one was also about partnering with Neural Nexus Tech.
Vesta took a few more calls after that, only catching a break when it neared midnight.
With a smile still playing on her lips, she took a sip of water. Thinking of Thorne, she hesitated for a moment before dialing his number anyway.
Still no answer.
The smile on her face faded slightly.
However, her good mood wasn’t dampened for long.
She didn’t try calling again. Instead, she looked out the window and sent Thorne a text: [I received several calls regarding partnerships today. Given some time, Neural Nexus Tech should be fine.]
After sending it, she didn’t wait for his reply before shooting off another message: [Do you have any plans for the National Holiday? We haven’t seen each other in a while. Would be convenient to meet up in a few days?] NovelPeak.org
After the two messages were sent, a long time passed, but there was still no reply.
A trace of loneliness flashed through Vesta’s eyes. She stopped waiting, put down her phone, and went to rest.
Charlene was completely unaware of what was happening with the Hawkins family. Two days later, however, Stewart Ferguson received news that many companies were suddenly seeking partnerships wit Neural Nexus Tech. NovelPeak.org
Stewart curled his lip and scoffed. “It doesn’t take a genius to know Thorne is pulling strings behind the scenes. I actually thought he could hold back from helping the Hawkins family. Hah!”
Charlene didn’t respond. After all, they had both anticipated this outcome long ago.
Even though Stewart had expected
it, seeing Neural Nexus Tech show signs of life still fueled a lingering resentment within him,
hip. But
unfortunately, in terms of sheer financial power, they were simply no match for the Henderson family yet.
