Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Chapter 440

For the next couple of days, Charlene was completely absorbed in the Starfall Smart Mobility project. She even went on several site visits to make sure her ideas were sound, triple-checking every last detail. Finally, with just hours to spare, she submitted the bid documents-right on time.

When Stewart got the news, a smile tugged at his lips. He shot Charlene a quick message: "Great work. You've earned a break."

He'd been swamped himself these past few days. Between managing his company's day-to-day affairs and overseeing the partnership with the Henderson Group, Stewart also attended two business galas. Afterward, a handful of CEOs from autonomous vehicle companies had reached out, eager to connect. He decided he'd do some research on these companies before making any commitments.

Meanwhile, PrimeStar's collaboration with the Henderson Group was moving along smoothly. They'd just entered the next phase of partnership. To celebrate, Thorne invited Stewart and another partner out for dinner. By the time Stewart replied to Charlene, he was nearly done with his meal.

Though Stewart wasn't particularly fond of Thorne, he had to admit: Henderson Technology lived up to its sterling reputation. The company was packed with talent, and working alongside their engineers had been a genuinely pleasant experience.

Of course, not every moment was enjoyable. He often ran into members of the Hawkins and Spencer families at these gatherings. Stewart couldn't be bothered to exchange even a polite word with them—he'd simply leave first, not looking back.

As he walked away, Leah watched him go, a smug smile curling on her lips. She leaned in close to Vesta and whispered, "Ever since your husband's company started working with PrimeStar, that woman's been constantly hanging around, as if the whole partnership would fall apart without her."
