How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 274

A dull ache pulsed at Elodie's temples.

She hadn't expected Jarrod to make such a drastic move so quickly, swooping in to poach VistaLink Technologies' top engineers the moment the opportunity arose.

Sure, most of their tech staff had signed non-compete agreements, but if Jarrod really wanted to lure someone away, the threat of a penalty was hardly a deterrent.

"Was this Jarrod's plan all along?!" Esmeralda fumed, her tone sharp. “He seemed so decent just now offering you shares and all. Turns out, it's all smoke and mirrors! Classic good cop, bad cop."

VistaLink Technologies had just pulled off a major win with their last project.

Elodie's name was front and center on the credits, so it was only natural for Jarrod to assume she'd be spearheading future launches as well.

And with Neural Intelligence clearly positioned as VistaLink's direct competitor, the battle lines were already being drawn. Jarrod wasn't wasting any time—he was already making moves behind the scenes.

Was he really trying to dismantle VistaLink from the inside out?

Sabotage their momentum, and snatch away Elodie's shot at reclaiming her reputation through the company's success?
