"Secondly, I have never regretted letting Emilia pursue her own career. She is an independent woman, perfectly capable of deciding her own path. I won't hold her back. In fact, I admire her."
"Finally."
Theodore's gaze swept across the room. "I don't believe Emily's investment has failed at all."
The executives exchanged skeptical glances. None of them bought a single word he said.
With their core tech talent gone, Aegis Dynamics' valuation had already plummeted by half. If that wasn't a failed investment, what was?
They all thought Theodore had completely lost his mind.
Someone immediately spoke up. "Mr. Glenn, I don't follow. How is Emilia not failing right now?"
Theodore simply let out a soft chuckle.
"Because I'm planning to invest in Aegis Dynamics myself," he replied. "So how can it be a failure?"
With that, the crowd naturally parted for him. He waved a dismissive hand and strode out of the room.
He left behind a room buzzing with fierce whispers.
"What did he mean by that?"
"What does he mean he wants to invest in Aegis?"
"I get it!" one of the executives blurted out. "It means if she truly goes under, The Glenn Group will swoop in and buy up her shares to bail her out!"
"That makes sense!"
"Or the company will aggressively take over Aegis, hire new researchers, and pour endless money and manpower into it just to make sure her project succeeds!"
The crowd collectively agreed this was the most likely scenario.
The viewers watching the live stream came to the exact same conclusion.
In an instant, both the internet and The Glenn Group exploded with the news.
Rocketing to the number one trending topic was:

Everyone in the industry saw it.
...
While the board erupted in a frenzy, Emilia and Theodore were quietly enjoying lunch together.
The private dining room was heavily guarded by his security detail, ensuring absolutely no one could interrupt them.
They were both well aware of the storm brewing outside.
Theodore scrolled through the escalating online drama before glancing up at her. Emilia reached out, playfully tapping his nose.
"You're terrible," she teased with a bright smile.
Unfazed, he simply smiled back and placed a choice piece of food onto her plate.
They locked eyes, a profound, unspoken understanding passing between them.
They chatted effortlessly back and forth, casually discussing their day and Bella's education.
It was as if the chaotic media storm raging outside had absolutely nothing to do with them.
