Chapter 24

Cindy stood out in her elegant yellow dress and flawless makeup, exuding the air of a pampered princess. She held onto Bruce's arm unabashedly throughout the upscale event. Suddenly, it clicked for me. I realized that Cindy was the only person who could change Bruce's mind. Coincidentally, Richard also knew Bruce. "Mr. Harold, you're quite the success story. Your accomplishments are really something to be proud of," Richard praised Bruce. Bruce, apparently accustomed to such praise, responded nonchalantly, "Helix Group has truly made its mark in the industry. We still have much to learn from Mr. Fowler." As the two business moguls chatted, Caroline and I quietly stood aside, not wanting to interrupt. However, Cindy spoke up, "So, you're the famous Mr. Fowler? It's an honor to meet you." Richard glanced at Cindy and gave her a faint smile, but his smile didn't reach his eyes. Both Caroline and I were familiar with this look; it was the arrogance of someone in a superior position.
