Just as Theresa was urging Richard to speed up the process of squeezing money

out of Rebecca, her phone rang.

“Hello? Oh, Mrs. Paige Reed, of course, of course… Yes, I’ll be right there.”

She hung up and left in a rush.

Richard stood there, unsure what he was feeling as he gazed toward the Vireon

Technologies booth.

Interest in the newly launched domestic robot was skyrocketing. Many attendees

had already placed orders on the spot.

Though originally designed to care for elderly people living alone, the robot clearly

had potential for broader use in normal households too.

Vireon Technologies had surged to prominence like a dark horse, solidifying an

unshakable position in America’s tech industry.

The Morgan family had always been in foreign trade. If they could just lock in a

partnership with one of these international exhibitors, they might finally earn a

seat at the table of American innovation.

“Mr. Bourne.” Richard said, stepping up with a smile, “I was wondering if you

might be free for dinner after the expo?”

Henry shook his head. “I’ve already got plans tonight.”

Richard kept smiling, “How about tomorrow, then?”

Another shake of the head.

A cold sense of dread crept up Richard’s spine. “Perhaps another day? I’d love to

finalize the ideas you and my mother discussed…”

Henry cut him off with a polite smile. “I’m actually more interested in Ms.

Ashbourne’s proposal now.”

Richard’s face went pale. He stammered, “B-but… I thought you really connected

with my mother earlier…”

Henry gave a half shrug and a smirk, like he was humoring a child. “I just feel like

I connect better with Ms. Ashbourne now.”

Richard froze. His mouth opened and then shut again.

From across the hall, Alistair happened to glance in Richard’s direction and saw

him storming off toward a quieter area, his face drained of all color.
