Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 69

The day of the summit.

By the time they flashed their badges to enter the exhibition hall, the venue was already packed.

It wasn't just tech companies; there were also massive crowds of general attendees who had purchased tickets.

The hall was utterly massive, boasting a rich variety of product categories ranging from drones and hyper-realistic robotics to flying cars.

With so many exhibits highlighting different core technologies, Madeline, a massive tech geek at heart, felt completely dazzled the moment she walked in.

Silas had an incredibly high profile. Shortly after they arrived, wave after wave of people came over to greet him.

As an associate professor at a prestigious university, many of his former students were present at the hall, not to mention the extensive network he had built as a tech CEO.

Every single time, Silas tirelessly introduced Madeline to anyone who hadn't met her yet.

Armed with the titles of acting CEO and Chief Technology Officer of Photon Tech, the guests looked at her with genuine awe.

The respect and admiration Madeline had spent years dreaming of at Whitman Tech were now being handed to her effortlessly by Silas.

It was as if, in Silas's eyes, she was a magnificent rose in full bloom, a queen deserving of the highest pedestal.

While Madeline was smiling and chatting with a guest, her gaze naturally drifted toward the entrance of the exhibition hall—locking directly onto Liliana and her entourage as they walked in.

Neither Madeline nor Liliana was surprised to cross paths here.

But Liliana froze in her tracks.

She hadn't expected to see the badge hanging around Madeline's neck.

[Photon Tech CEO & CTO]

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer.

Silas was the majority shareholder of Photon Tech, yet he had brought Madeline—a woman with a tarnished track record who had only left the Whitman group a month ago—into his own company.

Especially considering Silas held a Ph.D. while Madeline only had a bachelor's degree.

Even though he only dedicated part of his time to the company, his expertise in the AI sector was terrifyingly strong, ensuring Photon Tech's steady growth over the years.

If Madeline hadn't shown up, Liliana had actually considered recruiting Silas as the technical advisor for her own tech company.

But at the last gala, Silas had completely severed ties with them over Madeline.

Why was Silas treating her so well?

Liliana felt it was a complete waste for Silas to settle for damaged goods like Madeline.

Just then, Lucius spotted Madeline as well.

Madeline merely glanced at them for a split second before looking away.

Lucius hadn't originally planned to attend, but Liliana had begged him to come witness her securing funding from the chief investor.

So, Lucius came.

Seeing Madeline standing next to Silas, his brows knotted tightly, a whirlwind of turbulent emotions churning in his chest.
