How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 387

Elodie and Alexander spent most of the day shut away in the Sterling family's study, each poring over a computer, digging through storage folders and the company's database.

Alexander agreed. Business was always fickle, but sometimes picking sides too early was just another way to bring about your own downfall.

It wasn't until early the next morning that Alexander suddenly stood up. "Found it!"

Elodie, feeling lightheaded from the long hours, waved him over. He slid the laptop across, and she scanned the screen. Hidden in a folder from five years ago, she found her original, far more detailed and technically advanced draft.
