The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 157

"Thank you, Preston. I promise I'll do my absolute best to impress Dr. Sharpe later!"

Jenna was wearing a puffer jacket in the exact same color as Preston's. Walking side by side, they looked exactly like a young couple.

Preston replied flatly, "Let's go in."

Dr. Sharpe had been invited to speak at today's Sterling Bay Tech Symposium.

The moment the conference ended would be the perfect window to approach her.

"Did you memorize all the materials I gave you?"

Jenna sounded incredibly breezy as she patted her chest. "Don't worry, Preston, I am totally confident!"

All that theoretical knowledge was so boring anyway!

No matter how impressive Dr. Sharpe was, at the end of the day, she was still a woman and would definitely need emotional validation.

When the time came, Jenna was positive she had the charm to make the older woman adore her.

Preston gave a slight nod, and the two walked into the conference center together.

This symposium was strictly closed to the public, yet the venue was absolutely packed, with more than half the attendees rushing over just from hearing the rumors.

The moment they stepped into the hall, a female voice echoed through the microphone.

The voice flowed like water—gentle yet laced with undeniable power. It was incredibly familiar.

Preston instinctively looked up, scanning the room for the speaker, but the hall was massive, and the sea of heads made it impossible to pick out a single face.

Very quickly, however, he was pulled in by the rigorous logic and unique insights of the speech. He found himself listening intently, completely absorbed by the presentation.

It wasn't until Jenna's whiny voice buzzed in his ear that Preston snapped back to reality.

She was pouting, tugging at his sleeve. "Preston, we're way too far back. How am I supposed to interact with Dr. Sharpe from here?"

It happened to be the intermission, and her loud complaining instantly drew plenty of eyes.

A sharp-eyed event organizer recognized Preston and immediately hurried over with a massive, groveling smile.

"Mr. Hayes, what a surprise to have you here to grace us with your presence!"

Preston kept his tone perfectly even. "I'm not here to grace anyone. I'm just here to learn."

The organizer practically tripped over himself. "Please wait just a moment, sir. I'll get you seated in the front immediately."
