She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 147

Two months later.

Fairchild Holdings held a massive press conference, officially launching their Omni-Field Controllable Micro-Fusion Energy.

The technology was fully adaptable across all sectors—from civilian automotive use to heavy military applications.

The announcement sent shockwaves through Seaborne City.

Jonathan Ford was right there at the event. He had assumed Fairchild Holdings was just pulling a PR stunt, but to his absolute shock, they had actually delivered a functional product.

He immediately dialed Rowan, but the call went straight to a busy signal.

Rowan wasn't answering.

He had found out well before Jonathan did.

At that very moment, several tech CEOs sitting beside Rowan in his office shot to their feet, muttering that it was impossible.

Jameson Tech had poured over a billion dollars into the Stable Fusion Core, partnering with three top-tier national laboratories for over a year without a breakthrough. How on earth had Fairchild Holdings beaten them to the punch?

Anyone in the industry knew that Jameson Tech was the absolute pinnacle of innovation in Seaborne City.

Rowan remained entirely silent.

He casually lined up a shot on his office putting green and sank the golf ball.

Without looking up, he gave Wesley Wade a cold order. "Set up a meeting with Caleb."

Wesley stepped out to make the call and returned moments later, looking utterly defeated. "Mr. Jameson, I apologize. Caleb is away on a business trip. We won't be able to secure a meeting until next week."

Caleb was deliberately icing him out.

Rowan wasn't angry. His expression remained unreadable. "I don't care how much it costs. Secure the first batch of Fairchild's new products. Lock it down immediately. Price is no object."

Jasmine stood off to the side, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her heart hammering against her ribs.

How could this be happening?

Fairchild Holdings had actually beaten them to the finish line.

She found her voice. "Rowan..."

Rowan ignored her completely, as if she hadn't spoken at all. He had already pulled out his phone and was dialing a number.

Jasmine quietly slipped out of the room.

They looked like the absolute perfect match.

Rowan and Jasmine completely stole the show.

A viral clip showed Rowan leaning in to adjust Jasmine's shawl—a display of gentlemanly devotion the public had never seen from him.

Lyra was just trying to watch Caleb accept his award, but the screen was so flooded with live comments fawning over the couple that she could barely see her brother.

She disabled the comments and scanned the footage for Caleb.

After a few moments, she realized she was watching a fan-edited compilation. The uploaders had cut out nearly everyone else to focus entirely on Rowan and Jasmine, turning an industry award ceremony into their personal reality show.

Annoyed, Lyra closed the fan video and went straight to the Official State Media website to pull up the unedited broadcast.

This version was much more professional.

It showed the organizers presenting the awards to Caleb, Waylon Grayson, and Rowan in sequence. Jasmine was barely featured, her brief cameos lasting no more than three seconds at a time.

Caleb looked incredibly poised as he accepted his plaque.

The moment the camera panned to Rowan's acceptance speech, Lyra stopped watching. She copied the link and texted it straight to Kayla.
