The banquet officially started at 7.30 pm. Under the spotlight, a man with a silver mask walked up the
stage. When he stood under the illumination, his silver mask reflected a cold light. The people in the
hall subconsciously stopped talking, and the banquet hall fell into silence. “I will be announcing the
future collaborators of Elitos.”
Earley stood on the stage, and his deep voice emanated a profound aura.
“That’s Earley Wynters, the CEO of Elitos in Cairnstan,” Trent lowered his voice and said to Adina.
“He’s the executive who suddenly joined Elitos about three years ago. None of his background
information can be found. He’s very mysterious.”
Eilam softly added, “All the executives of Elitos are Europeans, but Earley is from Cairnstan. Even
though his background information is concealed, he puts on a mask no matter what occasion he
attends. It’s extremely creepy.” Adina lowered her head and took a sip of the champagne.
Alden had looked into Earley’s background for her before. There was no photo of this man online, and
even his name was fake.
This man was an enigma and also very dangerous. “Congratulations, Xavier Corporation, for becoming
the biggest chip provider for Elitos!” Right after Earley said that, a spotlight shone on Richard. Earley
resumed. “Xavier Corporation has been based in technology over these years, and they’re involved in
the comprehensive development of smart products. The smart chip that the company launched is
ahead of its time. I believe our companies will have a happy collaboration and achieve glory together
“Congratulations, Ms. Adina Daugherty, the general manager of LaStar Technology Corporation for
becoming the chief designer for chip development in Elitos!” Earley suddenly raised his voice, and a
spotlight shone on Adina’s head. She smiled faintly and raised her champagne to the man standing on
the stage. “Ms. Daugherty is an outstanding chip designer who graduated from Harfard University. She
was called a chip designing genius by the professors at Harfard University.”
When Earley’s words echoed in the banquet hall, everyone in attendance appeared completely taken
aback. Many people started discussing it.
“Wasn’t the chief chip designer supposed to be Mdm. Jones from Jones Corporation? Why is it the
most beautiful woman in Sea City? Since she’s so pretty, you can tell that she doesn’t have much skill.
She just lives off the entertainment news every day. Did Ms. Daugherty get this opportunity to
collaborate after she seduced Mr. Wynters?”
“Don’t start rumors. Adina created the smart product launched by Xavier Corporation some time ago.
She’s truly capable.”
“But no matter how capable she is, she can’t be better than Mdm. Jones, can she? Mdm. Jones
was a professor at Harfard University. Wouldn’t she be better than a student like Adina?”
“I even heard that Ms. Daugherty prepared her proposal in just one day, while Mdm. Jones had
prepared hers for three months.”
“What? A proposal prepared in one day defeated Mdm. Jones? That’s impossible, right?” “The
Operations Department of Elitos knows about this. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.”
When Adina heard their grating comments, she did not feel embarrassed or feel anything negative.
She was someone outstanding in her field, and those voices could not affect her at all. She wore a faint
smile as she calmly soaked in the attention from the crowd. At that moment, there was a disturbance at
the banquet hall’s entrance. Everyone subconsciously turned around, and they saw a middle-aged lady
walking inside while being surrounded by about eight people. The lady was very tall, and she had
perfect skin. She appeared to be in her early thirties, while her hair had been tied into a high bun often
worn by noblewomen.
She was wearing a trench coat, and the hem of her coat was not wrinkled in the slightest. There was a
small frown on her face, and her every move gave off the strong aura of a businesswoman. “It’s Mdm.
Jones!”
