How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 293

Sylvie quickly regained her composure, not revealing so much as a flicker of emotion.

It was as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

Jarrod glanced at Elodie, his gaze lingering for a split second before he spoke coolly, "Let's discuss the details after this is over."

Alexander smiled, squinting slightly. "Sure."

If they won the bid, everyone needed to know exactly what was expected and how things would be divided.

Jarrod nodded, then turned with Sylvie and walked away.

Alexander watched them go, then turned to Elodie. "You know, Jarrod really seems to have his head on straight. We asked for a lot-VistaLink Technologies gets absolute control, we take the lead and Neural Intelligence plays second fiddle-and he agreed to all of it."

He shook his head in amusement.

Neural Intelligence clearly hoped to use this opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Elodie thought for a moment. "He might have other motives."

Jarrod wasn't an easy man to read. Things looked like they were going VistaLink's way for now, but it was best to keep their guard up.

Alexander greeted him with a friendly smile.
