But Claudine, from beginning to end, never noticed him.

In the past, no matter where they were, she could always spot him at first glance.

Now, even though he was standing just a few meters away, she didn’t notice him at all.

Was it because her eyes were already filled with another man?

Audrey, of course, saw it too.

She glanced at the man beside her, sensing Damian’s anger.

Naturally, she didn’t think Damian was jealous.

Damian didn’t like that Claudine at all!

The reason he was so angry was simply because of a man’s possessiveness.

With Claudine behaving so indiscreetly, how could Damian possibly accept it!

Even if they couldn’t divorce now because of their shared interests, Damian could never have feelings for Claudine again!

Claudine acting like this would only make Damian despise her more and more.

Damian didn’t step forward, even as Claudine and Roberto left the restaurant.

Was he supposed to walk over in front of everyone and question his wife about why she was here with another man?

Such an undignified thing was beneath him.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Claudine said goodbye to Roberto.

The two agreed to attend the class reunion together the next day.

Back in her room, Claudine tidied up briefly and then headed to the meeting venue.

She wore only light makeup, her long hair loosely tied at the back of her head. The apricot-colored top made her gen- tle features look even more serene, and for her lower half, she chose a long skirt.

It was almost time.

Claudine took her materials and went to the conference hall.

This conference was jointly hosted by several domestic universities. Upon entering, one could see display cases filled with antique pieces restored by these universities.

All of them had been restored by professionals using the most advanced techniques in the industry, maximizing the restoration while preserving the original appearance of the artifacts.

Looking at those antique pieces that had survived thousands of years, now restored to their original beauty by her peers after enduring the erosion of time, Claudine felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment welling up inside her.

This was one of the reasons she persisted in this field.

Restoring antiques with her own hands, and at auctions, finding true collectors who genuinely appreciated these ex- quisite treasures.

This was the mission she had set her heart on.

“You must be Claudine!”

A voice sounded, and Claudine looked up to see an elderly man with white hair but a spirited demeanor standing in front of her.

Claudine recognized him as Mitchell.

She immediately nodded and spoke humbly.

“Hello, Prof. Hutchinson. I’m Claudine. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to attend today’s forum.”

Mitchell waved his hand with a smile. “You earned it yourself!”

“I’ve read the papers you sent me. They’re well written, innovative in their arguments, and supported by precise data. Very impressive.

“Back when Dami approached me, hoping I would take you on as a student, I was a bit hesitant.

“Although Dami and I have some friendship, what I dislike most is pulling strings and using connections!

“But now, I have to thank Dami for finding me such a talented student.”

The smile on Claudine’s face froze for a moment.

She had thought Mitchell decided to give her a chance after reading her papers, but it turned out it was because of Damian?

She recalled how, at that time, Damian refused to divorce her and offered to exchange Mitchell’s doctoral student spot.

She hadn’t agreed back then, thinking Damian wouldn’t pursue it further.

Claudine looked at Mitchell.

“Prof. Hutchinson, was it because of Damian that you were willing to read my papers?”

Mitchell immediately understood what Claudine meant.

He could also understand that, for those of them engaged in academic research, there was always a certain pride.

Telling Claudine now that he accepted her as a student because of Damian would be an insult to her.

“I was willing to read your papers indeed because Dami mentioned you to me, but the final decision to accept you was based on your own abilities.

Just like this forum.

Dami called me to ask about my recent schedule. When he learned about this forum, he immediately asked me to in- vite you to attend.

“I already intended to do so, so I agreed to Damian’s request, did him a favor, and got him to increase this year’s spon- sorship a bit. Hahaha.”

Mitchell had no idea about the entanglements between Claudine and Damian, nor did he pay attention to or believe the news online.

He only knew that Claudine was Damian’s wife.

“Prof. Hutchinson, so you were waiting for me here!”

Damian said as he approached the two of them.

Claudine had not expected to run into Damian here.
