Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 544

To her surprise, Jay actually delivered on his promise regarding the summit.

On the day of the event, Vivienne dressed impeccably in a high-end beige suit and rode to the venue alongside Smith and his team.

However, during the ride, she tried to strike up a conversation with Smith multiple times, only to be met with indifferent, lukewarm responses. It bothered her, but she didn't dwell on it too much. She knew full well that Smith still didn't completely trust her.

And that was exactly the case. Smith hadn't agreed to bring her along because he believed in her abilities. On the contrary, he still harbored deep suspicions. He intended to use this highly public summit as a testing ground, giving her a stage to showcase her expertise and allowing him to evaluate her true foundational knowledge and scientific acumen. It was the only way to determine if her previous claims held any water.

They soon arrived at the venue. As a premier international event, the setup was incredibly grand. Gilded lighting washed over the grand ballroom of the international conference center, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered a breathtaking view of the dazzling New York City skyline.

The atmosphere inside was impeccably organized. Top-tier researchers and university scholars from dozens of countries were gathered, all dressed in sharply tailored formal wear, with exquisite, exclusive attendee badges pinned to their lapels.

Taking in the magnificent scene, Vivienne instantly felt that her dirty deal with Jay had been entirely worth it. If it hadn't been for him, she would probably still be stuck at home dealing with a crying Toby. Besides, it wasn't exactly the first time she had done something like that.

She lifted her chin slightly, her mind already drifting into fantasies of her impending moment of glory. Later, when she took the stage and presented her groundbreaking, cutting-edge academic theories, she would absolutely stun every domestic and international expert in the room.

After that, everyone would remember her name, and Smith would be completely convinced that she was WH. From then on, her reputation, resources, and status in the industry would skyrocket, allowing her to leave all her peers eating her dust.

Just as she was completely immersed in her beautiful daydream, her gaze swept across the crowd and landed on a familiar figure. Her smile instantly froze.
