Chapter 224

Chapter 224:

“I’ve heard that today’s banquet at the hotel is centered around technology. It’s attended by key figures in the tech industry,” Jared said. Then, he suddenly remembered something, adding, “Oh, by the way, tech companies are growing rapidly these days. Many of them are eager to collaborate with us. You might want to consider investing in a couple of them later.”

Homelight Enterprise was renowned not just for its several brands but also as a potent venture capital firm. Ventures they chose to invest in often prospered significantly, leading many to pay attention to the companies they invested in. Numerous firms were vying for an investment from Homelight Enterprise.

Madisyn gave a nonchalant response. Yet, her attention shifted when she spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

Andrew?

He mentioned he was attending a banquet. It was this one?

Madisyn raised her eyebrows. She was not interested in investments now. However, if Andrew was considering a project, that might pique her interest.

Nonetheless, Madisyn didn’t linger on the second floor for long. She soon reached the third floor with Jared for dinner.

Unbeknownst to her, back at the banquet, Homelight Enterprise was the topic of conversation.

Corbett, holding a glass of red wine, eyed Andrew provocatively. “Andrew, I heard that Homelight Enterprise is planning to invest in a tech company. Which one do you think they’ll pick?”

The crowd turned their attention towards them.

Corbett and Andrew were well-known rivals. Andrew, who had studied finance in college, was highly skilled and had taken over his family’s company. However, technology had now become crucial in most business sectors. Corbett, having specialized in scientific research and development, had established a successful company. The Klein family typically selected their future head based on merit. Now, Corbett was emerging as a formidable rival to Andrew.

“You seem quite sure of yourself,” Andrew said, his handsome features composed. His deep, dark eyes appeared almost unfathomable, lending him an air of mystery and distinction.

Tatiana responded with a smile, “I’ve worked with Mr. Cooper before on some acting projects. He seems to think highly of Corbett’s company.”

The expressions of those around them grew contemplative.

The crowd had always been unsure whose side they would take, Corbett’s or Andrew’s. Initially, everyone favored Andrew, but lately, it was clear that Corbett’s ventures were faring better.

“Well, congratulations in advance,” Andrew replied coolly, showing no sign of concern.

With a sly grin, Corbett revealed something intriguing. “I heard Howard Johns is the director of your technology department now. Is that right?”

This revelation caught everyone off guard.

Howard had once been a prominent figure in the tech industry. Though some people there might have forgotten him, he had been well-regarded in his heyday. Tatiana’s eyes widened as she looked at Andrew, astonished.

She hadn’t expected Howard to make a comeback. Since becoming disabled, Howard had secluded himself at home, seldom seen in public. Tatiana had seen him only rarely and had assumed he would remain withdrawn indefinitely. Yet here he was, employed at Andrew’s company.

Did he know she was with Corbett now?

Why had Howard joined Andrew’s company? Was it to oppose Corbett?

Tatiana felt a mix of emotions at that moment. Howard had once saved her life, a deed that moved her deeply, yet she knew she couldn’t commit to a life with someone disabled. She suspected Howard still harbored feelings for her; why else would he intentionally join Andrew’s team? This thought left her feeling unexpectedly content, yet she also felt a pang of sympathy for him.
