After hanging up the call, Henley set his phone down with a sigh.

He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on as he watched the PrimeStar investors‘ conference video playing on the large screen in his living room.

Leah was lounging on the couch, casually munching on an apple. Watching Charlene up there, confidently delivering her speech at such an important event, left a sour taste in her mouth. She switched off the TV with a frown. “Why did they let her take the stage? She’s stealing all the spotlight,”

Maureen chimed in, “That’s not the point.”

In Maureen’s eyes, Charlene might have shone a bit by association with Stewart during the conference, but it was all superficial. The real treasure was PrimeStar’s technology.

Rhoda, however, pointed out, “But she’s definitely got Stewart on her side.”
