All Too Late novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431 No Intention To Admit

Samuel walked over with Kathleen, and they sat down at the same time.

Trevor was ready to greet them, but Samuel totally ignored him and made the first move.

The main goal of the tech conference this time was for people to listen to the insights of other industry players.

Kathleen wasn’t familiar with this field.

Samuel began to explain in a deep voice, “Don’t force yourself. No one will really present their results. In fact, they might even come up with some unrealistic assumptions, then insist that they have done the research.”

Kathleen responded, “Isn’t that just making empty promises?”

“Well, whatever ideas they say here could easily be snatched away by other competitors for their own research,” Samuel admitted solemnly.

Kathleen was taken aback. “Exactly how insecure are they? Their findings will have to be announced sooner or later.”

“When it comes to tech and innovation, time is money,” Samuel said flatly. “If someone else has plagiarized and perfected your ideas before you did, you can’t really defend yourself.”

Kathleen sighed.

“I guess you’re right.” She was in the pharmaceutical business, and they were very different fields.

“Next, let us welcome Mr. Samuel Macari,” said the host on the stage.

Surprised, Kathleen glanced sideways at Samuel, “Oh, you’re giving a speech today.”

“That’s right.” Samuel nodded.

He stood up and walked onto the stage.

Kathleen watched as he strode away calmly, admiration rippling through her.

Samuel was indeed attractive.He was charming and high-spirited. Any woman would fall for him.

She came here with him, yet other women still couldn’t resist to approach him.

Kathleen sighed inwardly. She felt rather insecure, as though she was falling in love for the first time again.

As she looked at Samuel and listened to his speech, she was quite captivated.

His speech wasn’t exactly a long one, but what he shared was quite practical.

After he finished his speech, he returned to sit next to Kathleen.

Kathleen asked curiously, “You just said that no one’s really honest here, for fear of being plagiarized.”

Samuel chuckled. “Macari Group has our own brand of confidence.”

Fine.

The conference eventually ended, and Samuel and Kathleen rose to their feet.

“Mr. Macari,” Trevor finally called out to him.

Samuel turned to face him.

“Old Mr. Hoover, how may I help you?”

Trevor stared unblinkingly at Samuel.

“I wonder if you have any plans for a collaboration.”

“Macari Group has never cooperated with others in this field,” Samuel rejected him coldly.

Macari Group had always done its research and development independently.

Cooperation was extended only when both parties had insufficient funds or lacked manpower.

However, Macari Group was different. Samuel had both money and manpower.

The people who worked for him were highly paid, so he was sure that they wouldn’t be poached.

Trevor smiled meaningfully.

“Why don’t you take some time to think about it, Mr. Macari? I heard that you wanted to get involved in drones, but you’re having trouble with the system. I have a few good people working under me. They might be able to help you.”

Samuel’s expression darkened. “Your information is quite accurate, Old Mr. Hoover.”

I only have such intent thus far. No proposal has been made yet.

“Then, won’t you consider it, Mr. Macari?” Trevor grinned.

Samuel looked at him sternly. “That’s not necessary.”

Not expecting that Samuel would still refuse him, Trevor thought that it was time for him to play his trump card.

“Uncle Trevor!” A beautiful woman came in from outside.

When Samuel glanced sideways, his eyes widened in shock.

Kathleen quickly surmised that the woman was Ashley, Samuel’s savior.
