Chapter 303

Victoria knew exactly who they meant by "K"-the person who held the core

technology behind Quantum Core Technologies. Her heart raced with anticipation, but disappointment quickly followed. George flatly refused to contact K, offering no explanation beyond a vague, "They're not available."

At three in the afternoon, the conference room filled with the entire tech department. Violet swept in, poised and elegant, accompanied by the new hire, Jenifer.

She listened intently as the team reported on the progress of their new game. George had his assistant prepare a detailed update for Violet; after hearing it, she seemed genuinely pleased.

"If there's anything you need-whether it's funding or talent-don't hesitate to ask. The company is here to support you. Victoria, I've reviewed the performance reports George submitted about you. There are some truly impressive highlights. Keep up the good work. The company rewards everyone who makes a real contribution."

Violet's words felt like she was bestowing a great honor on Victoria. Jenifer led the applause, and Violet nodded in acknowledgment of Victoria's efforts.

"There's one more thing I want to share," Violet continued, her tone casual but her eyes sharp. "Our company, in partnership with Quantum Core Technologies, is in the process of acquiring V&S Group."

Confusion flickered across the faces in the room, so Violet clarified, "V&S Group is that tech company that bought the rights to our game. There were rumors about their government contracts, but now their finances are in trouble. Mr. Langford and Mr. Garcia have already moved to acquire them—"

Victoria's gaze flickered over Violet-acquire? So, McNeil really did care for Violet; he let her in on major business deals before anything was set in stone. He didn't even try to hide it.

Her mind flashed back to last night, to the intimacy she'd shared with McNeil, only for him to whisper another woman's name at the end. The memory was as sharp as a slap.

Whatever tenderness she'd once believed in was gone. She was certain now- Violet was the only woman he truly cared about. There was no room for anyone else.
