"Charlene knows engines? She understands microchips? That's impossible."

Henley still couldn't believe the paper Charlene published earlier was really her

own work, even though it had caused quite a stir in the field.

Now Maureen was telling him that Charlene was talented in both engine design

and chip technology?

How could that be?

Maureen lowered her gaze, her voice quiet. "You don't have to take my word for it.

Just look it up yourself."

A few moments later, after watching a clip from Axiom Flux Technologies' press

conference where Charlene spoke, Maureen felt her heart sink.

Henley, on the other hand, still looked like he was in shock.

At that moment, Leah's angry voice came through on the phone. "She's doing this

on purpose! It wasn't enough that she sabotaged Uncle's traffic project-now

she's coming after Vesta's company, too!"

Henley and Maureen exchanged a look; it was clear to both of them.

Regardless of whether the tech breakthroughs shown at the conference were truly

Charlene's own work, one thing was certain: Axiom Flux Technologies'

announcement was going to hit Neural Nexus Tech like a wrecking ball.

Before either Henley or Maureen could respond, Leah's tone switched from anger

to anxiety. "What are we supposed to do now? Everyone's saying Axiom Flux

Technologies is going to dominate most of the self-driving car market. Vesta's

company doesn't stand a chance-there's just no way to compete right now."
