And Catherine used that money as a wedding gift?
Seriously? What kind of hopeless romantic drops a hundred million just to marry some broke guy? She must be out of her mind. Shirley could hardly wait to see the look on Nestor’s face when he found out.
Shirley walked over and spoke gently. “Waldo, the summit’s about to start. We should take our seats.”
Waldo pulled his gaze away and nodded. “Let’s go.”
As soon as they stepped into the summit hall, they spotted Nestor chatting with someone. Waldo headed straight over, and Shirley called out with a bright smile, “Dad!”
Nestor turned and saw them. His face lit up with a proud grin. “Shirley, Waldo, I’m glad you both made it.”
Someone nearby chimed in, “Well, look who it is! Shirley, you’re the genius behind Resonance AI, right? The James Group’s biggest hit!”
Nestor’s chest puffed up even more. “That’s right. Shirley developed it herself.”
A wave of compliments followed.
“Nestor, you really raised your daughter well.”
“Shirley’s so young and already so accomplished. She’s a real prodigy.”
“And Waldo, you’re lucky to have someone so talented on your team. The James Group’s future looks unstoppable.”
Waldo gave a polished smile and glanced at Shirley with clear approval. “Shirley’s always been exceptional.”
