Chapter 944
Wilhelmina was the deputy president of Zenith Capital. She was well-known in the business world.
On top of that, Trent was also a legendary figure in Sandover, which further enhanced her reputation in the circle. Although she was only in her 20s, everyone knew it would be foolish to underestimate her.
It was why when Wilhelmina stepped into the restaurant, she was swarmed by the investment big shots. They approached her to greet her and shake her hand enthusiastically.
Even though Wilhelmina had bad blood with Jack, she knew how to act in front of these industry tycoons. She carried herself amicably, smiling as she greeted them one after the other, addressing them as if they shared a close relationship.
The financial leaders sat at the same table, engaging each other in friendly conversation.
A long moment passed. Soon, it was almost time for the banquet to begin. Wilhelmina excused herself to drop by the restroom to touch up her makeup. She was going to meet the founder of Haven Net.
If the rumors were true, not only was he handsome and charming, but he was also wealthy and talented. If she wanted to attract his attention, Wilhelmina had to show the best version of herself.
Although the Dodger family had enjoyed a prestigious life in Sandover, Wilhelmina still had her sights set on Haven Net. It was a company that was projected to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Haven Connect also boasted having a user base that numbered in the billions.
No matter how prideful Wilhelmina was, when she was face to face with an industry titan such as Haven Net, she had no choice but to temper her arrogance and defer to them. If she wanted to curry favor with the founder of Haven Net, she had to throw her entire being into impressing him, and she had to show off her most beautiful side.
As she mulled over her thoughts, she arrived at the restroom. She was about to enter when she suddenly heard footsteps echoing from the men's side.
A few seconds later, a tall and handsome man appeared. It was Jack.
Disbelief and surprise flickered in Wilhelmina's eyes when she saw him. She never thought that she would run into the bastard whom she loathed with every part of her being at Haven Net's banquet.
"It's you?" Wilhelmina asked, disbelief coloring her voice.
To her, Jack was nothing more than a hooligan. How on earth did he infiltrate such a high-class establishment?

She suddenly recalled that Genesis Games had been acquired by Haven Net, so he was now a subordinate under Haven Net, and more importantly, he was a loser Wilhelmina soothed her frazzled nerves by thinking of him as such.
Jack was also stunned for a moment. Although he knew that it was inevitable that he would run into Wilhelmina, he didn't expect to bump into her here of all places.
He nodded at her and shot her a strange smile. "Fancy meeting you here."
"Why are you here?" she demanded. "Who let you in? Did you sneak in by yourself? I'm going to tell security that a thief has infiltrated the event."
Wilhelmina grabbed her phone, looking as if she really was about to call security. In her perspective, a loser like Jack could only have snuck into the event through improper means.
Jack shook his head. "You can say whatever you want, but please don't waste the tower's security resources."
He felt as if Wilhelmina's hatred for
him had also twisted her perspective of him, so she was just spouting whatever nonsense that came to her mind. However, when he recalled how he had humiliated her, he knew that she would never forget what tie had done to her for the rest of her life, so perhaps her loathing was warranted.
What Jack needed to do now was to transform Wilhelmina's hatred into fear. He wanted Wilhelmina to be terrified of him whenever she laid eyes on him. That way she would concede to him, reminiscent of obedient kitten.

Only then would he be able to completely rid himself of this issue.
