Chapter 257

At that precise moment, the grandeur of Dupont's event erupted into full bloom.

The massive double doors swung open, and a wave of guests surged inside, voices rising with excitement as they scrambled to claim their seats.

The atmosphere crackled with electric anticipation.

Henry Dupont scanned the rapidly growing crowd, a smug, triumphant smile stretching across his face.

They had finally outsmarted Kingston, beating them to the punch

Even Kingston's desperate, last-minute attempt at hosting their conference across the way was doomed from the start.

Henry chuckled darkly, his heart swelling with arrogant satisfaction.

This was the man who sold out his own little sister research, handed it to the Kanes, and watched without a shred of guilt as they flipped it to Dupont.

Now here he was, smiling like a loyal lapdog at Dupont's side.

If he could knife his own family in the back, who on earth would he hesitate to betray?
