The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 914

The most important part of the event was starting soon, and several important figures were already seated at the round table. This included Stefan, Frederick Yarrow, and many other powerful leaders of the industry.

The rest of the participants could only observe their meeting from a large meeting room outside the hall. Even the biggest sponsor of the event, Seraphina, was not allowed to attend the conference.

To start the conference, the eight industry leaders would have to press the activation button, located in the middle of the conference table, simultaneously. This activation button was shaped like the Earth and divided into eight pieces, representing the eight regions that contributed most to the technology industry.

The conference was scheduled to start soon. Some people had even brought automated translators, and they counted down excitedly.

"Five, four, three, two…"

There was a long silence. Nothing had happened, and the attendees were visibly confused. The activation button should have been pressed by now.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm afraid we're experiencing some technical issues." Frederick Yarrow, the president of the Electronics Technology Association and the host of the event, suddenly announced in a panicked voice.

"Huh? Technical difficulties? What happened?"

Everyone outside the conference room was confused, and they all started discussing possible reasons for the delay. In the end, only the industry leaders would know what was happening, all… seven of them?

"As you can see, there are only seven leaders sitting here. There is still one very important member who is absent, and the piece they represent is second to H Group. Without them, we are unable to light up the button, which is why this conference cannot begin yet." Frederick then pointed at the empty seat next to Stefan. "The person who will join us shortly is the newest chairman of KCL, someone who has made remarkable contributions to our industry"

"What? Can't you get anything right, Yarrow? As the president of the Electronics Technology Association, you should at least be able to do this much, right? If you can't, you should really consider resigning!"

"That's right, you couldn't bring over the one you were supposed to invite, and instead ended up inviting not one, but two unwelcome strays! A useless president like you should have resigned long ago!"

Frederick repeatedly dialed the new chairman's number, feeling so stressed that he was close to tears.

On the other hand, Stefan was sitting in the very middle of the conference table, looking remarkably composed. His cold gaze made it seem like he wasn't involved in this summit at all.
