N checked the time–it was only 7:00 a.m., and the conference didn’t start until 9:00a.m.


    “Isn’t it a little early for you to be here?” she asked groggily, still not fully awake.


    Melody’s voice was filled with excitement. “I couldn’t sleep, so I got up early. I brought breakfast for you, but don’t worry. I’ll just walk around outside until you’re ready.”


    N sighed, feeling a bit helpless. She told Melody which floor she lived on so she coulde up and wait inside.


    By the time N finished getting ready, it was just past 8:00 a.m. The two of them arrived at the conference venue before 8:30 a.m.


    As they approached the entrance<b>, </b>a ck Maybach and a Rolls- Royce pulled up beside them.


    The doors of the Maybach opened, and Reba and Damon stepped out. From the Rolls–Royce behind them emerged Nathaniel.


    As soon as they exited their cars, conference staff members<b>. </b>enthusiastically greeted them. “Mr. Sumner, Mr. Preston, Ms. Austen, wee to the conference. Please allow me to show you to the VIP entrance.”


    Reba wore a white dress today, her long hair flowing down to her waist. With light makeup, she looked delicate and sweet. As she stayed close to Damon’s side, she exuded an air of vulnerability that invited protectiveness from those around her.


    Damon’s indifferent gaze briefly lingered on N before he looked away as if he hadn’t seen her at all.


    N lowered her eyes, forcing herself to ignore the disas

    that swelled in her heart Damon treating her like a stranger was far better than dragging out their unresolved feelings


    The group quickly followed the staff through the VIP entrance,


    causing Melody to watch enviously


    However, remembering that N and Damon had broken up because of Reba, she quickly suppressed her envy. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    “N, let’s go in too,” she said.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel nced at Damon teasingly as they settled


    into a private room.


    “Damon, if I’m not mistaken, I just saw N outside. Why didn’t you say hi? Nathaniel asked.


    Damon’s expression was icy, and he remained silent.


    Next to him, Reba’s expression changed slightly. Although Damon hadn’t spoken to N earlier, Reba knew his eyes had been on N the entire time.


    “Nathaniel, stop teasing Damon. He and Ms. Jayston are the real couple: 1l find a chance to exin everything to her. In three months, I’ll give Damon back to her, Reba said.


    Nathaniel’s face fell. “Reba, there will be a way to treat your


    illness. Don’t speak like that again.


    Reba smiled sorrowfully and did not say anything more


    Seeing her like this made Nathaniel ufortable. He stood up and walked over <b>to </b>the window, looking down


    The conference hall was arranged with rows of seats in the center

    and private rooms on both sides for those of higher status. Each room had arge one–way mirror, allowing those inside to see out, while those outside could only see darkness.


    Noticing N and Melody sitting toward the back in the middle, Nathaniel smirked mockingly. Without Damon, N was insignificant.


    N was unaware of Nathaniel’s thoughts. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care. She was there to listen to the conference and determine a direction for her future career.


    The conference soon began.


    Under the spotlight of the tech conference, Dr. Brendan Oakley, a leading figure in drug research, slowly stood up. He cleared his throat and began his opening remarks.


    “Good day, everyone. In the path of drug development, we constantly strive for breakthroughs and innovation. Today, I am honored to share with you a significant advancement in cancer drug research.”


    Brendan’s voice was firm, each word reflecting his passion and respect for science.
