How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 382

The old woman was suddenly at a loss for words.

She stared at Jarrod for a long time, unable to say anything.

Jarrod, however, didn’t raise his voice or lose his composure. Once he’d made his point clear, he relaxed, a gentle smile tugging at his lips. “Alright, Grandma, let me take you home. This ends here. I’ll handle my own affairs.”

That was his final word, shutting down any further interference.

The old woman opened her mouth, struggling, “You…”

But nothing more would come out.

All she could do was brush Jarrod’s hand away. “No need! Go keep Elodie company!”

Jarrod glanced at his indignant grandmother, slipped one hand into his pocket, and shook his head with a quiet, amused sigh.

Maurice and Joseph approached from either side, unaware of what had just transpired between the grandson and grandmother. Maurice looked puzzled. “Why would Raleigh suddenly ask about that? If this really gets out, won’t Sylvie be the one everyone gossips about?”

Jarrod didn’t respond, his attitude unreadable.

Joseph exchanged a look with Maurice, then turned to Jarrod. After a moment, he spoke up. “Sylvie’s never had any official status. If things really did go public, well… it was her own choice.”

Maurice looked stunned.

Jarrod lifted his eyes to meet Joseph’s gaze.

The flight control system team was still working at full tilt in the following days.

After Elodie resolved a string of data and licensing issues with various vendors, she made sure everything was running smoothly and reliably.

Back at the office, Esmeralda sauntered over, smirking. “That huge Silverstein family gala—wasn’t it supposed to be for you? Now everyone’s saying the party’s because Jarrod has some big news.”
