Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 274

Bella was working tirelessly to prepare for the Blake Group's press conference, but Sebastian himself didn't seem to care much.

Although their current success looked decent on the surface.

Sebastian wasn't particularly satisfied.

It had taken too long. The success of the first stage was nearly half a month later than he had anticipated.

But he couldn't blame Bella for it.

The original plan was to collaborate with Nathan to get his Li Algorithm, which would have made things much smoother.

As it turned out, Nathan had refused the collaboration from the very beginning.

This was undoubtedly a major blow to their project.

Furthermore, the foreign algorithm they had found was not only less powerful than the Li Algorithm but also more expensive.

Sebastian was not happy about this.

However, today's press conference was something Bella had insisted on, so he had agreed.

Their government partners were keeping a close eye on the collaboration, and Professor Avery had recently been in frequent contact with other companies.

It seemed that if they couldn't produce some decent results, Professor Avery's team might partner with someone else.

Sebastian could see the writing on the wall.

Professor Avery's actions represented the government's intentions, and Sebastian didn't want his company's massive investment to end up being for nothing.

Bella assumed Sebastian wanted to personally review the guest list and naturally had no objections. She quickly sent him the digital version.

Sebastian found Lillian's company on the list, but the invitation wasn't sent in the company's name; it was addressed to Victor personally.

He glanced up at Bella. Her intentions were obvious.

Bella clearly looked down on Lillian and her company.

The invitation was addressed to Victor personally, which meant she still recognized his abilities. Even after Victor had caused a scene at the Mercer family wedding, Bella was willing to overlook it and try to poach him.

Sebastian's long fingers tapped rhythmically on his desk. Without looking up, he scanned the list casually.

As if unintentionally, he mentioned, “Victor?”
