How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 397

The past couple of days had been a headache for Naylor. The fallout from the incident was massive—if VistaLink Technologies decided to press charges, TerraCore Technologies would be branded as a risky partner, and that was the last thing he needed.

He honestly hadn’t seen it coming.

Things really had gone south on Sylvie’s end.

She’d actually been screwed over by a foreigner.

Naylor tried calling VistaLink Technologies, but their lines were tied up with calls from all directions; he couldn’t get through.

After weighing his options, he decided to call Elias for advice. Maybe his brother would have a way out.

The truth was, he’d only gotten dragged into this because of Sylvie.

Elias had just wrapped up his research work when Naylor called. Listening to Naylor vent, he asked, “Did VistaLink Technologies actually say they’re going after TerraCore Technologies as well?”

“Not sure,” Naylor replied. “But…you know Elodie. She might use this as a chance to go after me. She could even think I’m colluding with Ms. Fielding.” The whole thing felt like a disaster he hadn’t asked for.

Elias paused for a couple of seconds. “If Elodie was really that petty and vindictive, you wouldn’t have any chance to buy that patent in the first place.”

Naylor was at a loss for words. After a moment, he sighed. “Come on, man. Help me out here.”

Elias took his time finishing the work in front of him. “I’m not sure it’ll work, but I’ll give it a shot.”

Naylor was genuinely surprised. Did Elias actually have an idea?

Elodie had just finished a meeting when she got a message from Elias.

He’d sent an audio recording, along with a text.

Elias: [Sorry to trouble you, Ms. Thorne. I’ve heard about the situation with VistaLink Technologies, and I know my younger brother Naylor is caught up in it. Here’s a recording—feel free to use your own judgment. Naylor never had any improper dealings with Neural Intelligence. I hope this helps.]

Elodie tapped on the audio file.
