How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 425

Once the contract was signed, Elodie left with Esmeralda and returned to VistaLink Technologies.

Word about Neural Intelligence had spread fast—even Alexander had heard about it. The topic was already making waves across the industry.

Waldron, on the other hand, had yet to make any official statement.

Still, Neural Intelligence certainly knew how to market itself. At the very least, they’d managed to generate plenty of buzz.

It was clear there’d be another battle to fight down the road.

Alexander couldn’t help but admire Jarrod’s particular set of skills, but business was business—at the end of the day, it all came down to healthy competition between companies.

“Let’s set this aside for now.” Alexander turned his monitor so Elodie could see the email on the screen. “There’s an international tech conference in Verdania next week. They’ve invited us. Your new flight control system has caused quite a stir overseas, so both our names are on the list. How about a business trip next week?”

“Sounds good.”

Elodie didn’t think twice.

After all that had happened with Neural Intelligence, her reputation as an independent developer had finally reached international ears. She’d officially made a name for herself abroad.

Ever since she’d developed the U.N2, she’d had to sign a strict non-disclosure agreement and keep a low profile, so outside her field, she was practically unknown. But this time, she’d gained a lot—and it would definitely help VistaLink Technologies break into the global market.

A trip to Verdania was more than just international exposure; it was a chance to get a feel for the technological landscape abroad.

When she got home, she watered the gardenias lined up on her windowsill.

She was just about to take a shower and wind down for the night when she unexpectedly spotted a message from Elias.

Elias: [Ms. Thorne, if you’re available, you should come in for a check-up.]

Elodie had to admit, Elias was remarkably diligent about these things. She did a quick calculation—yes, it was about time for another appointment.

She replied that she’d come in the next day.

Elias: [Perfect, I’ll move some things around for you. Just check in when you get here.]
