Caron Wenworth glanced disdainfully at Vincent Hawthorne, his eyes behind his glasses were filled with loathing.
Vincent Hawthorne didn’t recognize him, but Caron knew Vincent all too well!
Those years, his junior kept ntioning Vincent Hawthorne, to the point his ears could barely take it anymore!
Caron Wenworth smirked, "President Hawthorne should be quite familiar with her, right? Soone who chased after you for so many years, surely you know her na?"
"..."
The sliver of hope in Vincent Hawthorne’s heart shattered completely.
Sothing seed lodged in his throat, and he found himself unable to speak.
Suddenly, Caron Wenworth glanced over Vincent’s shoulder, raising his hand in greeting, "Team Leader Sinclair, why are you sitting there? We’ve all been waiting for you!"
"..." Vincent Hawthorne turned his head stiffly.
Tanya was sitting quietly in the corner, composed and calm, just like before, yet there was an undeniable spotlight shining upon her.
— That was everyone’s gaze!
Tanya was no longer the overlooked background figure she once was.
Vincent watched helplessly as Tanya stood and walked over, increasingly clear and dazzling, sothing within him collapsed.
Even Professor Carter moved aside to offer her the central seat!
Tanya looked at Vincent Hawthorne’s rigid face and smiled slightly, extending her hand proactively, "President Hawthorne, let’s reintroduce ourselves. I am Tanya Sinclair, the head of Group A for The Veridia Project."
"..."
Vincent Hawthorne had no idea what expression was on his face at this mont; he tried hard to muster a smile, but the corners of his mouth felt frozen, refusing to rise.
Tanya Sinclair had actually beco his client?!
He felt like he was encased in ice, unable to move, but finally managed, with great effort, to pull himself from his shock and accept this reality.
But just as he intended to shake Tanya’s hand, she withdrew hers first.
She nonchalantly turned to Cindy Lynn: "Secretary Lynn, please lead us to the eting room."
Cindy Lynn forced a stiff smile: "Certainly, Team Leader Sinclair, please this way."
Cindy Lynn, like a servant, respectfully pressed the elevator for them, and once everyone had entered, she was about to step in.
But Tanya gave her a light glance, "Secretary Lynn, if I rember correctly, this elevator is for senior managent and VIP guests only, isn’t it?" She smiled as she observed Cindy’s pale face, "Kindly take the staff elevator instead."
anwhile, Caron Wenworth had already pressed the close door button.
Cindy Lynn watched helplessly as the elevator ascended, the mirrored doors reflecting her extrely unpleasant expression.
Tanya Sinclair, that damned woman!
How did she beco the head of Group A?
Wait...
Cindy Lynn suddenly rembered, she was personally selected into Group A by its leader!
So, this wretched woman did it on purpose?!
Was just looking for an opportunity to humiliate her!
"Tanya Sinclair, you just wait!" Cindy Lynn gritted her teeth in anger.
Jonah Rivers had been observing the entire process, thoroughly entertained.
Wow, Ms. Sinclair was truly putting on a show to seduce her way back into the company!
By the ti Cindy Lynn took the staff elevator to the eting room, she found there was no place left for her.
The eting was already underway!
Cindy Lynn could only swallow her anger and stand quietly to listen!
Tanya Sinclair sat in the first seat on the left, her entire being exuding a professional and capable aura in her business attire, focused intently as Zenith Group reported. She idly twirled a pen between her fingers.
Now and then, she would raise her hand to interrupt and ask critical questions.
Her voice was calm, clear, and pleasant, with substantial content; once she spoke, it was hard for anyone to look away.
Vincent Hawthorne sat directly across from Tanya Sinclair.
He had cald from his initial anger at being made a fool of.
Throughout the eting, he struggled to suppress his emotions, yet his gaze couldn’t stray from Tanya for long.
The screen’s glow cast upon her face, and he never realized before how radiant Tanya was while working, as if she were glowing.
Even her occasional frown was beautiful, and when she inadvertently brushed back her bangs, she exuded an enticing allure...
Vincent’s throat felt parched, he swallowed and averted his gaze, concealing it by taking a sip of water.
"..."
Cindy Lynn stood in the corner, watching intently!
She was so angry her teeth almost shattered, and her newly manicured nails nearly broke in her clenched fists.
This wretched woman, Tanya, really was doing it on purpose!
She was scheming, still hoping to win Vincent back!
No, she couldn’t let this wretched woman succeed!
Cindy Lynn quietly left the eting room through the back door and made a call to her father, Sean Lynn.
"Dad, I need you to check on so people for ! The sooner, the better!"
...
The entire eting lasted nearly an hour and a half, after a short break, they were set to visit the Zenith Group’s factory for an onsite tour.
Professor Carter had other commitnts and left early.
Celine Nash personally escorted Professor Carter to the car, and when she turned around, she bumped into Cindy Lynn.
"Vice Team Leader Nash." Cindy Lynn smiled pleasantly and respectfully, handing over a docunt, "Although I know my entry into Group A was just Tanya’s way of humiliating , I’ve seriously prepared this proposal addressing the current core issues faced by Group A, please have a look."
Celine Nash glanced at Cindy Lynn, accepted it without much expression, flipping through a few pages, and her previously icy deanor softened.
She even showed a touch of appreciation.
"You did this?"
"Yes." Cindy Lynn’s expression was open and candid.
"This is quite good." Celine Nash rarely praised anyone, so her acknowledgnt carried significant weight.
Cindy Lynn felt a secret joy.
"Thank you for the complint, Vice Team Leader Nash."
She had intentionally used her father Sean Lynn’s connections to dig into the details; among the students of Preston Truman, who were involved in The Veridia Project, were several of Tanya’s forr co-students.
The one who disliked Tanya the most was undoubtedly Celine Nash.
Back then, when both were under Preston’s tutelage, Celine never got along with Tanya and they argued several tis.
Later, after Tanya chose to quit and marry, whenever Celine was asked about Tanya in public academic settings, she would darken and declare she had no junior sister!
The rift between them was fully exposed!
And Cindy had observed in the eting room that Tanya seed sowhat deferential towards Celine, yet Celine never showed her any favor!
The enemy of my enemy is a friend.
"Vice Team Leader Nash." Cindy Lynn comnted regretfully, "Honestly, with your capabilities, you should be the team leader."
Celine Nash closed the docunt, gave her a blank look, "What do you an by that?"
