How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 524

Elodie's voice was calm, but every word cut straight to the bone.

Her gaze landed on Sylvie, whose composure was unraveling fast. “Since Neural Intelligence operates under Nexus Analytics, we have zero tolerance for this sort of misconduct. Ms. Fielding, you will pay the price for your actions. Equally.”

The room was stunned. No one had seen this coming.

Even Maurice, who’d been outside, had been drawn in by the commotion.

He glanced at Elodie, then at Jarrod seated beside her. Jarrod sat quietly in the storm, showing almost no emotion—just a figure in the eye of the hurricane.

Sylvie stared at Elodie, utterly incredulous, her mind blank with shock.

But Elodie left her no room to recover. She tapped a second document on the table, her tone unwavering. “Even if you rush to patch things up within the deadline—even if these funds are technically your dividend—Nexus Analytics policy is clear. No early withdrawals. From this moment on, you’re no longer part of Neural Intelligence’s management.”

Sylvie’s face went deathly pale.

It was the worst possible outcome, and she wasn’t prepared. Her striking eyes locked on Elodie. “Even if what you say is true, it should go to a shareholder vote—not be decided by you alone!”

Jason looked at her, unable to hold back. “Even if there were a vote, it’d be internal to Nexus Analytics. The result would be the same…”

Would it really make a difference?

“If you’re unhappy with this decision,” Elodie continued, her voice as composed as ever, “there’s one more thing you should know. Nexus Analytics’ bylaws are explicit: if a shareholder misappropriates company funds, the company can forcibly transfer their shares. In other words…”

“You’re out.”

The moment she said it, the words hit Sylvie like a punch to the gut. She was too stunned to react.
