“I invited Jeremy here to evaluate the Carter Group’s new product,” she explained, offering a polite smile toward the man beside her. “He’s always had a sharp eye for emerging tech–he was glad to lend his expertise.”
Her gaze rested briefly on her companion, a man in his late thirties or early forties with an academic air, though his expression carried a certain strictness, almost stern.
After giving Eugene and the others a somewhat dismissive once–over, Jeremy spoke up with a faint, almos condescending smile. “Audrey asked me to take a look at what you’ve developed.”
“But honestly, I don’t see anything remarkable here.
“What Valoria is working with is essentially outdated by our standards–technology we moved past years
ago.
“Calling this a ‘revolutionary product‘, in my opinion, is quite a stretch.
“Still, Audrey can be very persuasive, so I agreed to help out. Mostly to ensure the Carter Group doesn’t end up embarrassing itself too badly at the launch.”
Jeremy’s tone was dripping with arrogance. It was clear he held neither Eugene nor the Carter Group’s product in high regard.
And he had reason to be confident–he was a respected authority in the field, one of the key minds behind Oskary’s most advanced Neural–Network Interface System. His experience and reputation were beyond question.
Once Jeremy finished, Audrey’s expression remained composed. She offered Eugene a light, conciliatory smile. “Jeremy has always been a perfectionist–very serious about genuine innovation and quality. He doesn’t hand out praise lightly.
“He doesn’t mean any disrespect toward the Carter Group, truly.”
She gave a slight nod toward Eugene and Arthur. “It’s just that the recent press coverage around the Carter Group has been… overly enthusiastic, to say the least.
“Back in Oskary, Dad and I grew concerned when we saw the headlines. It didn’t sound like something you’d normally put out there, Eugene.
“We wondered if someone might be setting you up for a fall.”
She paused, letting the implication hang in the air before continuing with a look of mild concern. “After talking it over, Dad and I agreed we couldn’t just watch from the sidelines–we’re family, after all.
“So I went out of my way to bring Jeremy here. Think of it as our contribution to the Carter Group’s efforts.”
Then, her tone softening into something resembling worry, she added, “Eugene, we heard back home that you’ve been restructuring control over the overseas assets. Was that related to all this market competition lately?
‘Did someone… influence your decision?”

Eugene held Audrey’s gaze for a long moment. Audrey had always been shrewd, even as a kid. Their path had crossed during his years studying abroad, and he was familiar with her tactics.
She was a top–tier graduate, sharp and strategic. It was hard to tell whether Darren’s past maneuvers had involved her input–but Eugene wouldn’t put it past her.
“Carter Group doesn’t misrepresent its products,” Eugene replied evenly.
“The press releases you’re referring to were actually pushed by our competitors.
