Chapter 243

The partnership between YodaVision and Dominic Fairchild was finalized, yet critical business components still required suitable collaborators.

To accelerate the search for ideal partners, boost company visibility, and drive expansion, YodaVision had arranged an investment symposium, which commenced Monday morning.

After dropping Sophia Whitmore at school, Isabella Sinclair headed straight to the hotel venue.

Nathaniel Graves and his team were already present when she arrived.

As the company's lead engineer, Isabella was scheduled to deliver a keynote speech and field media questions shortly.

Backstage, she reviewed the agenda with Nathaniel.

Julian Montgomery arrived moments later.

He had barely settled into his seat when Dominic made his entrance.

Twenty minutes later, Nathaniel and Isabella took the stage for their presentations.

Dominic appeared attentive during Nathaniel's segment, but when Isabella stepped forward, his expression darkened.

Was Nathaniel seriously entrusting the crucial product and technology introduction to Isabella?

Isabella didn't spare Dominic a glance. Whether presenting company products or addressing technical inquiries, her tone remained composed and confident. She answered every question flawlessly, displaying no trace of hesitation.

The moment Isabella began speaking, Dominic's attention wandered elsewhere, showing no interest in her presentation.

As she handled product-related queries, he assumed YodaVision had prepped her with scripted responses.

His mind drifted until he noticed Julian's intense focus on Isabella.

Unlike Dominic, Julian listened with rapt attention, fully engaged in her every word.

Dominic dismissed it as Julian's typical professional demeanor.

Post-conference, Isabella and Nathaniel's schedules grew even more demanding.

With an afternoon meeting at InnovaTech, Dominic departed quickly after exchanging brief pleasantries with Nathaniel.

He arrived at InnovaTech before Alexander Whitmore.

Heading straight to Victoria Kensington's department, he found the office buzzing with energy.

Victor Pembroke greeted him immediately. "Good to see you, Mr. Fairchild."

Dominic nodded in acknowledgment. Victoria glanced up and added, "Alexander should arrive in about ten minutes. Please wait momentarily."

Victoria's casual reference to Alexander's schedule revealed their close working relationship.

"I'm aware," Dominic replied. "His assistant already informed me."

Changing subjects, he observed, "The atmosphere here is quite lively today. Celebrating something?"

Victor responded eagerly, "We've been stuck on a major technical roadblock for over a week, but Ms. Kensington just cracked it. Now we can finally progress, so everyone's energized."

Another team member chimed in, "We owe this breakthrough entirely to Ms. Kensington. Her Ivy League PhD makes all the difference - her technical expertise far surpasses ours."

"Absolutely," others agreed.

Dominic had always recognized Victoria's talent, but now witnessed it firsthand.

Hearing the team's praise, he felt genuine admiration. "Congratulations."

Victoria smiled graciously. "Thank you."

Then she added modestly, "But I can't take full credit. Alexander has been mentoring me intensively lately. That's what enabled such rapid improvement."

Her statement carried undeniable truth.
