How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 557

Waldron was genuinely intrigued.

Five years ago, U.N2 had been a technological breakthrough-ushering in a whole new era of innovation.

At all the top universities, promising tech students were drilled on the limited internal data U.N2 had made public. Professors treated it as a case study, a gold mine for learning and research.

So, when the project came up, Waldron couldn't help himself—he launched into a passionate monologue, pacing back and forth as he spoke.

Jarrod listened attentively, occasionally interjecting with technical insights or counterpoints. Their conversation grew more animated, the room charged with the energy of shared curiosity.

At the height of his excitement, Waldron stood up and started jotting down his favorite data sets on the chalkboard behind him. "I've already discussed these numbers with some of the top students," he admitted, scrawling rapidly, "but there's always a ceiling for raw talent.
