How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 366

Elodie couldn’t care less about Sylvie’s attitude.

She didn’t even spare her a glance.

Now that Neural Intelligence had scrambled to connect with TerraCore Technologies, their partnership might have looked like a victory on the surface, but it was nothing compared to what it meant to have full control over their own technology. At best, they’d managed to stay afloat in the tech tidal wave—hardly a true win, and there wasn’t much profit in it for them.

All they’d done was buy themselves some time before being swept away entirely.

It remained to be seen whether the team Jarrod had sent over would be able to develop anything groundbreaking.

But Elodie wasn’t worried.

She knew exactly how advanced her own flight control system was. Even if Jarrod pumped Neural Intelligence full of fresh ideas and new blood, the chances of them coming up with something entirely original—something that could actually rival her work—within the next two years were slim to none.

Jarrod’s involvement might speed up the competition, but that was it.

Later that morning, Elodie spoke with her doctor and arranged to postpone her chemotherapy for a while. She’d been running herself ragged lately, and her body simply couldn’t handle the side effects right now.

The doctor agreed that it would be best if she took some time to recover, and suggested she try a different targeted treatment when she was ready.

With that settled, Elodie checked the time.

A few days earlier, Watts had reached out to set up a lunch meeting with her. She’d scheduled it for today.

Eldrion Global wanted to get a deeper understanding of VistaLink Technologies, but Alexander’s schedule was packed. So Elodie decided to bring Esmeralda along—after all, Esmeralda was one of VistaLink’s senior managers, and it made sense for her to hear Watts’ thoughts firsthand.

Watts had picked a stylish European bistro for their meeting.

When Elodie and Esmeralda arrived at the private dining room, Watts was already on his feet to greet them. But there was someone else waiting inside—a woman with a striking, commanding presence and sharp, beautiful eyes.

“Mr. Aldridge, this is Ms. Mercer, my colleague from VistaLink Technologies. She’ll be joining us for the discussion, if that’s all right?” Elodie said warmly to Watts.
