She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 265

Those conflicted eyes held shock, bewilderment, confusion, and even a faint trace of regret...

Sylvie's hands clenched tightly at her sides, the deep-seated anxiety in her chest growing stronger by the second.

She glared at Hulda, her jaw visibly rigid from how hard she was grinding her teeth.

That was the exact moment Herbert Jewell walked into the room, accompanied by the CEO of Zenith Data.

Zenith Data had attended the press conference at the Conrad Atherton Institute and was currently participating in the bidding war to secure a partnership.

While Zenith was a corporate powerhouse, they lacked experience in the specific technological field required, which was a massive disadvantage for the bid.

On the flip side, H&J Technologies was an industry leader with years of specialized research under its belt, but they were currently facing a severe capital shortage.

Both companies were desperate to partner with the Quantum Crystal Laboratory, but both had glaring weaknesses.

Realizing this, Zenith's CEO had personally reached out to Herbert, proposing they join forces and submit a joint bid.

Combining their strengths would dramatically increase their chances of winning.

After discussing it with Justin Jameson, Herbert had agreed that the proposal was sound and signed off on it.

Because of this newly minted alliance, Herbert and the CEO of Zenith Data had been in frequent contact lately.

They had just finished a business meeting, and upon learning about the National Go Academy's anniversary reception, the CEO had tagged along with Herbert.

As soon as Herbert stepped into the Match Hall, he noticed the large crowd gathered inside, his parents standing right in the middle of it.

"Mom, Dad, why is everyone standing around here? Am I late? Did I miss the ceremony?" Herbert asked, walking toward Valery.

Before he could get close, however, Sylvie lunged forward and blocked his path.
