But then she admitted it frankly. "That''s exactly what I mean. I hope Winrich will


    reduce its shareholding in InnoCore and hand over management rights. You can just be a silent investor and wait for your quarterly dividends."


    What nerve!


    Noreenughed. "You said yourself that the contract was signed between me and Carman. Then let Carmane and talk to me!"


    "I am Carman''s wife. I can represent him," Jasmine insisted stubbornly.


    "But as far as I''m concerned, you can''t," Noreen stated just as firmly.


    In the end, Jasmine left with a cold expression on her face.


    Sophia was indignant, denouncing Jasmine''s brazen ambition. "How is this any different from biting the hand that feeds you? Who does she think she is? To have the nerve to challenge you to your face!"


    "Do you remember how many people you had to beg, how much you had to drink just to get funding for InnoCore back then? How can people be so ungrateful!"


    "That''s just human nature." Noreen was calm about it.


    In the past, she wouldn''t have been able to remain soposed.


    But after everything she had been through, she no longer held any expectations for human nature.


    Sophia was a little worried. "Do you think Mr. Holt feels the same way?"


    "Find out who Jasmine has been meeting with recently."


    Sophia was very efficient. Noreen gave the order in the morning, and by the afternoon, she had an answer.


    "NoMore Corporation?" Noreen looked at the name, finding it unfamiliar.


    Sophia exined, "It''s a techpany that has grown incredibly fast in thest two years. Their corepetitive industry is High-Temperature Superconductivity. Their technology is very mature, not only dominating the domestic market but also breaking into overseas markets, securing coborations with several tech giants."


    "However, the owner of NoMore Corporation is quite mysterious and has never appeared in public."


    The corporate structure of NoMore Corporation listed the legal representative as a man in his fifties named Will Lewis.


    There were no other business affiliations under his name.


    If Jasmine had really teamed up with NoMore Corporation, it would certainly not be good news for Winrich.


    At almost the same time, Jude told Seth about the situation.


    He had his own selfish motives.


    Empty words might not be enough to persuade Seth.


    But what if it had to do with Noreen?


    Sure enough, as soon as he heard it involved Noreen, he became interested. "Reject it."


    Seth''s reply was concise.


    Jude said, "Of course we have to reject it. After all, half of Winrich''s revenue depends on InnoCore. If it got out that Innocore was stabbing, Winch in the back, it would be a huge blow to Winrich!"


    "Who told you half of Winrich''s revenue depends on InnoCore?" Seth said dismissively.


    Jude was momentarily stunned. "Isn''t that what everyone says?"


    "Don''t put all your eggs in one basket. She understands that principle better than you do."


    Seth''s tone became nonchnt again.


    Jude asked, "Are you that certain?"


    "Yes, I''m certain."

    His feelings at that moment wereplicated—a mix of pride and helplessness.


    She had matured, even learning a few tricks from him.


    But it also meant she had grown.


    She could stand on her own two feet, even without him.


    It was time for him to learn to let go.
