She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 266

The Zenith CEO's public shout of "Director Atherton" was a bit lacking in social grace, but it definitely grabbed the attention of everyone in the Match Hall.

The crowd watched as the man who had just walked in with Herbert completely ignored the host, Wade Jewell, and made a beeline straight for the young woman who had just beaten Master Marr.

His demeanor was overly enthusiastic, and yet he addressed her with an incredibly deferential, "Director Atherton."

None of them knew who this man was, but given that he arrived with Herbert and carried himself with obvious wealth and authority, his status had to be significant.

Now, the burning question on everyone's mind was: Why had he immediately rushed over to this young woman?

And why was he treating her with such profound respect?

Even Hayden and Joanna Owen were completely lost.

Let alone Wade and Valery, who were staring at Herbert in utter bewilderment before their attention was violently yanked back to the Zenith CEO.

Acting as if no one else was in the room, the CEO strode right up to Hulda and offered his hand. "Director Atherton, what a coincidence! I never expected to run into you here."

Wade's eyes darkened. He keenly picked up on the fact that this man—who had arrived with his son—not only called Hulda a "Director," but also spoke to her using the most formal, respectful tone possible.

This man was easily a couple of decades older than Hulda, yet he was bowing his head to her like a subordinate...

Hearing that level of deference made Valery's eyelids twitch violently.

Hulda looked at the man blankly. He looked vaguely familiar, but she genuinely couldn't place him.

Sensing her confusion, the CEO gave an apologetic smile and quickly introduced himself. "Director Atherton, I'm Clarence Coleman, Chairman and CEO of Zenith Data."
