His Eagle Eyes on Me
Chapter 2116

Chapter 2116

At the hotel, the award ceremony of the Marshall's Award.

When the guest announced Angela’s name on stage, the spotlight was instantly on her.

Under everyone’s enthusiastic applause, she got up and walked up on stage.

"I am finally up on this stage. I finally get the award that I have been dreaming of at the age of sixty- three. I initially thought that I would never win this award in this life because the effort required and the reward obtained may not be proportional to getting this award," Angela held the microphone in one hand while holding the award in the other hand. She smiled excitedly, "But I've managed to wait for it."

Below the stage, rapturous applause rang out.

After the applause, Angela took a deep breath and said once more, "Here, I want to first thank my alma mater and my teacher for nurturing me. Next, I want to thank another person. That person is my fiance, Mr. Dean Jennings.

Dean's smile was shown on the huge screen on stage.

"All the years of working, he had constantly invested in me. Without his support, I might not be able to hold on until now, so, I have to especially thank him.” Angela looked at Dean gratefully. "Next, my research team members who had been secretly working hard. When they entered my team, they signed a non-disclosure agreement. They can't tell anyone about the research. Now that we have succeeded, no one knows their names. They should be standing here on the stage with me. Out of protecting them, I stand here today, accepting this award on their behalf. I’m really happy today, which is why I have a lot of things to say. I hope that you all don't mind."

The host chuckled and chimed in, "Miss Hills, we can understand your happiness. We are happy for you too. I heard that your alma mater has come out with three other Marshall’s Award winners. Do you know them?"

The host was only trying to chat with Angela. The host did not do much background research, so they did not know about the grudge between Angela and James.

After this question was asked, the smile on Angela's face stiffened.

Below the stage, Sebastian also saw the smile on his father's face vanish instantly.

"The past two Marshall's Award winners have already passed away. I don't know the first one because our age gap is quite huge. As for the second person, I'm quite close with him." When Angela said that she remained smiling politely.

Avery was sitting by the window at a restaurant. The wine she ordered was not there yet, so she took her phone to view the live broadcast of the Marshall's Award.

She did not want to see it, but she kept receiving notifications about it, so she tapped into it.

Once she tapped into the video, she saw the host ask Angela that question.

The last time when she mentioned Professor Hough in front of Angela, Angela was furious. She thought that Angela

would lose her temper as well this time, but not only did Angela not get angry, but she also smiled to reply to the question.

"James Hough is my senior, but he has passed away for a long time. I almost forgot what he looks like, but I will never forget his influence on me. Back then when he got the Marshall's Award, I

secretly swore that I will try my best to win this award too, " Angela said and let out a sigh. "Now that I have done it, it's a pity he will never know."

The waiter brought a bottle of wine to Avery’s table. A moment later, the dishes she ordered were served too.

Wilson sat opposite her, looking at the wine and dishes on the table.

"Miss Tate, are you sure you want to drink? " Wilson was a little worried. "Will Mike get angry if he finds out?"

"Wilson, I have never once interfered in him drinking. If he dares to come to bother me, I’ll scold him." Avery had not even started drinking, but her gaze and tone seemed a little intoxicated already.
