How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

"Me?" Elodie blinked, caught off guard.

Clifford's expression remained tinged with a certain awe. "A few days ago, we received some inside information-The Silverstein Group invested a massive sum a few years back to establish a company in Verdania. They've developed the technology and supply chain, and apparently, the facility just went online this year. Ms. Thorne, would you be able to... handle the negotiations on our behalf?"

Elodie was stunned.

Jarrod had a company like that in Verdania?

How had he never even hinted at something this monumental?

He'd started preparing for this years ago?

If he was investing in that kind of rare material, the market share and future profits would be astronomical. If he pulled it off and managed to bring it into the domestic market, he'd have the entire industry in a stranglehold.

Plus, he'd be able to dominate aerospace contracts, not just here but internationally. The long-term prospects were enormous.

The profits would be incalculable-enough to make any investor wild with envy.

But... with a market this lucrative, how could it be a secret? Of course, everyone knew about it. The problem was, research and development weren't easy. It took tens of millions just to get started, and the technical barriers were sky-high. Under international restrictions, the failure rate was almost absurdly high, and one mistake could mean losing a fortune.

It also took years of development before anything was market-ready.

No matter how you looked at it, the risks were staggering.

Very few investors had the nerve-or the resources-to gamble on such a niche, high-tech material that ordinary consumers would never even notice.
