SCORNED EX WIFE Queen Of Ashes (Camille and Stefan)

Chapter 128

Chapter 128

The Phoenix Grid control room hummed with activity. Massive screens displayed real-

time data from thousands of connection points throughout the city. Engineers moved between workstations, checking and rechecking every system.

Hannah Zhao stood in the center, tablet in hand displaying the master checklist. Three days until the official launch, and the pressure weighed on her shoulders.

"Junction forty-three, status?" she called.

"All green," came the response. "Power flow nominal, security protocols active, redundancy systerns standing by."

Hannah marked it off her list. They had been working for twenty hours straight, methodically testing every component. The sabotaged systems that Walsh had compromised required particularly careful attention Camille entered, immaculate in a tailored suit

despite the early hour. Only the shadows under her eyes betrayed her exhaustion.

"Progress report?" she asked, moving to Hannah's side.

"Eighty-seven percent complete," Hannah

replied, handing over her tablet. "Western sector is fully operational. Northern at ninety-

three percent. Eastern and southern at eighty-two and seventy-nine."

"And the corrected systems?"

Hannah lowered her voice. "All fixed. We've replaced every component Walsh tampered with,

updated all compromised software. The Grid is clean."

Relief flickered across Camille's face. "Show me."

Hannah led her to a workstation where thermal imaging displayed the

entire Grid. Each junction

point glowed green, power flows represented by pulsing blue lines.
