The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 326
“It’s your first time coming to the RMI exhibition, right?” asked Mischa as the two of them walked hand in hand out of the auditorium and into the various small halls where each subsidiary exhibited their excellent products and services.
Vega nodded. “I often heard from my father about it and I also read the news. But this is my first time going here.”
“Ahh … actually this exhibition is quite fun. We can get direct feedback from users who try various products and services that we have not yet launched to the market. From there, each company can use it to improve a product before they launch it to the public,” Mischa explained.
“Ahh .. I understand why this exhibition is very important,” said Vega. As she walked towards the west wing of the expo building, she saw a crowd in front of a room. The girl turned to Mischa and asked. “Why is SpaceLab participating in the exhibition here? It is not a subsidiary of RMI, isn’t it?”
“No, it’s not. But they use our products a lot for their space initiatives, especially our robotics and AI support. This year, RMI allows them to get a hall and use it as a platform to showcase their latest projects, which use our technology,” said Mischa. “That’s why your friend Tatiana can interview Renald Hanenberg today.”
“Ahh .. it makes sense,” said Vega, nodding understandingly. She then pulled Mischa’s hand. “Come on over there. I wonder what their exhibition looks like.”
Even though his heart felt heavy and unwilling, Mischa continued to follow Vega into the hall with the big words “SPACELAB” on the door.
They went inside and found the room packed with visitors and journalists. From the whispers they heard from those around them, Mischa and Vega learned that SpaceLab’s top management was there that day.
Journalists, in particular, were scrambling to get pictures and statements from Professor Renald Hanenberg, who had returned to SpaceLab after years of serving as the crown prince of the Moravian kingdom.
“Jeez … it turns out that Prince Ren is really as handsome as they said,” whispered a woman beside Vega with a beaming face. Her friend nodded in agreement.
“Ahhh .. so lucky we come here today, right? Who would have thought that Professor Hanenberg took the time to come here.”
“Aww… look at his sad face. If only he was my husband, I would comfort him and make him smile again … hehehehe.”
“Sshh… don’t talk carelessly. People say he really loves his late wife. He was even willing to step down from his position as the crown prince of Moravia for her sake. And then his wife died? Whoaa.. it would be very difficult for any woman to compete with her,” said her friend again. “Besides, his wife just died a year ago. I think … a man like him will take years to recover his heart and find a new woman.”
“Well, that’s what I heard too. He said he took this job offer at SpaceLab to keep himself busy. I think he’s trying to get over his sadness by working.”
“Well .. I just hope it works. He must immediately forget about that woman and move on. He is still very young. How can he continue living in the shadow of the past? Moreover, his wife has died and will not come back again.”
Vega frowned at the gossip uttered by the women around her. She also felt deep sympathy for Renald Hanenberg when she read the story of his tragic life on Tatiana’s blog earlier.
However, hearing so many women talking about Ren and hoping that he would forget his late wife quickly made Vega feel a little annoyed. She saw those women as vultures who were ready to make Ren their prey.
Vega remembered the love story of Lauriel and Luna, her paternal grandparents. For more than a hundred years, Lauriel never got over the only woman he loved.
After Luna passed away, Lauriel lived alone and buried his sadness by withdrawing from the world. He also never looked for Luna’s replacement.
In his heart and mind, Luna was the only woman for him. That was one reason why Elios Linden or Alaric Rhionen could forgive his father, who unknowingly abandoned him for a hundred years.
Lauriel did not know that the woman he loved gave birth to their sons before she died in a city attack at the end of World War 2. If he knew, he would have searched for them to the ends of the world and cared for them.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know … and he was a hundred years late.
However, when Lauriel and Alaric finally met, Alaric could see how his father had suffered greatly from his mother’s death. Lauriel also felt very guilty for not knowing he had two sons from Luna.
If when they met, Lauriel had got over his love for Luna and married another woman, it would be difficult for Alaric to forgive his father. Luckily, that was not the case.
Lauriel and Luna’s story made a great impression on Vega’s heart. She always compared the love stories she read in novels and real-life with her parents and grandparents.
This was what touched her when she read about Professor Renald Hanenberg’s situation. The man seemed to love his wife so much … that he was willing to step down from the throne of Moravia for her sake.
Unfortunately .. the woman he loved died.
Oh … for some reason, Vega’s heart became sad for the man she didn’t even know.
In her heart, she hoped that Professor Hanenberg’s intention to go back to SpaceLab could ease his deep sadness. However, she also hoped Professor Hanenberg would not forget his wife.
“Hey .. Professor Hanenberg will speak! Ssshh …”
Vega raised her face and looked at the front of the room. Whispers immediately rang out in the room, and the program officer asked the audience to sit down.
When the guests in front of them sat down one by one, Vega could see the figure of the man on the small stage in front of the room.
Renald Hanenber wore an impeccable dark blue suit, making him look formal and serious. His face was very handsome, and, for a moment, Vega was stunned to see him.
The man’s hair was dark brown, and his eyes, shined with intelligence, were very light brown, like amber. Overall, this man’s appearance was very impressive.
No wonder so many girls hoped that she would soon forget her late wife and move on with his life by finding a new woman to love … This man did look like a dream husband!
When Professor Renald Hanenberg looked up and stared at the end of the room, his eyes caught sight of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, standing near the door, staring back at him with wide eyes.
Next to the girl was Mischa Rhionen, whom he recognized as a director at RMI. Ren frowned in surprise.
“Is that… Professor Renald Hanenberg?” whispered Vega to Mischa beside her.
“That’s right. It’s him,” said Mischa in a flat voice. He turned to Vega and observed the girl’s expression carefully. He tried to find out whether Vega recognized Ren, or not.
“Oh ….” Vega pursed her lips.
