How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 303

With that thought in mind, Sylvie couldn't help glancing over at Alexander, who was sitting nearby and clapping enthusiastically.

It struck her as odd-how often did you see a science-and-tech type go this far out of his way to champion someone with no direct connection to his work?

Maurice leaned closer and lowered his voice. "Don't you think Alexander's putting Elodie on too high a pedestal?"

Jarrod shot him a look, waiting for him to elaborate.

Maurice hesitated now, a frown creasing his brow. "Do you think he's actually trying to bring Elodie into the Sterling family? Maybe he's grooming her, polishing her public image so she looks impressive enough to fit in with the Sterlings' academic dynasty."

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out why Alexander was pushing Elodie into the spotlight.

After all, Elodie had always been an ordinary housewife, nothing remarkable about her background.

Even her stint in The Silverstein Group's PR department-let's be honest, wasn't that just a favor from her husband's family?

Yet now Alexander was giving her projects to lead, making her the public face of things.

Wasn't he just burnishing her credentials?

Joseph caught the implication in Maurice's words.
