Chapter 115
Downstairs.
Jasmine dashed over to Thorne and said, “Dad, mom’s already started eating, she won’t be coming down.”
Moran raised an eyebrow and thought, “she’s quite considerate.”
Granger looked down, silent.
Vesta, however, couldn’t help but smile subtly.
She knew it. Charlene wouldn’t dare to come down. After all, not a single person here truly welcomed her.
Even if she came down, she’d just end up being mocked and left out.
So, why bother? Better to stay upstairs and be a shrinking violet.
Hearing this, Thorne replied, “Alright, I got it.” Then, without insisting further, he told the others, “Let’s not wait any longer, let’s eat.”
At those words, Vesta’s smile deepened, gracefully taking a seat next to Thorne.
Upstairs.
After finishing her meal, Charlene continued with her work.
By then, Stewart had also arrived home.
Charlene came up with even more ideas and after sharing them with Stewart, he jumped up, exclaiming, “Damn, damn, damn! That’s genius! Your insights are incredible, Charlene. You’re really a genius in this field! I knew you had it in you!”
He paused, then, without waiting for Charlene to respond, he lamented, “Seven years! A whole seven years. If you hadn’t gone off to get married, our company could’ve been world–famous by now!”
Charlene, feeling her ears ache from his shouting, moved the phone further away.
Stewart knew that in such a happy moment, he shouldn’t bring up those unpleasant subjects.
He cleared his throat and got back to the point.
Big plans obviously required more than just the two of them.
Stewart immediately contacted people from the company, like Patton, inviting them to join.
Joining PrimeStar wasn’t about killing time for Patton and the others; they were genuinely interested in learning. After hearing Stewart out, they realized the gap in Al skills between themselves and the duo of Stewart and Charlene was quite significant.
Although they didn’t grasp the key points immediately, Stewart’s explanation soon had them excited, and they didn’t mind working overtime to join in.
In cases like this, it’s actually best to head back to the office and talk things out face to face. But for Charlene, getting back to the company would take about two hours.
When inspiration hits, you can’t just stop; otherwise, the ideas might be lost by the time you get back.
So, they decided to start with a video discussion.
Learning about Charlene’s situation, Stewart found a moment to ask, “Are you alone in the room? Where’s your husband?”
“I don’t know, probably eating,” Charlene replied indifferently.
ust the two of them, father and daughter?”

Vesta, Moran, they’re all there.”
And they left you alone in your room?”
