How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 239

Charlie ended the call, his expression stony.

He turned to Elodie. “After the VistaLink Technologies project wraps up, would you be interested in working on military aircraft?”

Elodie raised an eyebrow.

Alexander immediately bristled. “Are you trying to steal my team?”

Charlie barely spared his son a glance. He looked only at Elodie. “Just think about it. No rush. If you’re interested, I’ll take you to meet some folks at the Defense Department.”

To him, Elodie’s potential was limitless. VistaLink Technologies was only her first step.

This time, Elodie didn't answer right away. She fell silent, lost in thought.

If she could follow her ambition, she would have said yes without hesitation. But her illness was a ticking time bomb. There were too many variables she had to consider, too many responsibilities she couldn’t ignore. She needed to think it through, seriously and carefully.

When they landed in Eldermere, it was already late. Alexander drove Elodie home.

As soon as she stepped inside, Elodie took out the jade necklace Jarrod had given her, snapped a photo, and sent it to Rosemary, asking her to check it carefully.

Rosemary called back almost immediately, her voice trembling with excitement. “Elodie, where did you find this? It really is the set! Your great-grandfather lost it ages ago—he only managed to give your grandmother the ring. The necklace was missing for decades, how on earth…”

Elodie was stunned. It was real?

How did Jarrod know it matched her grandmother’s heirloom ring? Where had he found it?

Her mind spun. This birthday gift was far more precious and meaningful than she’d imagined.

She hesitated only a moment before calling Keith.

If she were still married, she wouldn’t have cared. But now, the divorce was final, and the assets had been divided. If Jarrod had given her any other kind of jewelry, she would have sent it straight back. But this was the family heirloom her grandmother had lost—she didn’t know what to do.
