Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 808

Raleigh directed these words straight at Dr. Lucas.

Dr. Lucas paused for a moment before speaking in an even tone. "It wouldn't be an exaggeration."

Getting into college at fourteen, earning a PhD from a top-three global university at twenty-five, and having an industry titan like Kevitt Smith as a mentor—any one of these three achievements was enough to be called a genius, let alone having all three combined.

It was just that...

Raleigh scoffed, continuing, "On the day she was supposed to report to PrimeStar, I waited and waited, but she never showed up. Instead, I saw Mr. Ferguson hugging and kissing a strange woman at the company entrance. When I finally contacted her, I found out someone else had taken her position. I was told Mr. Ferguson had made a last-minute decision not to hire her."

Having said his piece, Raleigh turned to look at Charlene in the audience. "And I don't think I need to tell you all who took my junior's place. You probably already know."

When Raleigh mentioned Stewart hugging and kissing a strange woman, murmurs of shock swept through the crowd, and everyone cast covert glances at Charlene.

Usually, both Charlene and Stewart appeared very professional. Charlene always carried herself with grace and handled matters with effortless poise, so no one expected...

Everyone knew Raleigh was referring to Charlene, but no one dared to chime in. No one wanted to offend Stewart.

Raleigh had assumed that upon hearing this, Charlene and Stewart would look uncomfortable, but to his surprise, their expressions remained completely stoic.

Noticing his gaze, they met his eyes calmly.

But...

Were they really as calm on the inside as they appeared on the outside?

Laymen didn't understand the academics, nor did they grasp the full weight of Charlene's papers and awards, but even to them, it sounded implausible.

Meanwhile, the expressions on the faces of the AI industry insiders were strikingly uniform.

Someone paused, looked at Charlene, and said, "This... is indeed impossible. Publishing papers isn't that easy."

No matter how smart a person was, it was impossible to reach such heights in just a few months.

After all, many people in the industry spent a whole year analyzing certain academic papers and still couldn't fully comprehend them, let alone write and publish them directly.

Others echoed the sentiment. "Exactly, the chances are practically zero."
