How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 82

Alexander arched an eyebrow, glancing in Elodie's direction before speaking at an unhurried pace. "You flatter me, truly. I'm not the developer of U.N2. At best, I was a witness—and played a small part."

The confession left those nearby visibly stunned.

Questions erupted at once.

Alexander simply waved them off. "Apologies, but I can't say more."

Just as he managed to send the curious on their way, he realized Jarrod and his group had arrived at some point—and they'd clearly overheard everything.

Maurice looked the most shaken. "You mean to say U.N2 wasn't developed by Mr. Sterling? If not you, who else could it possibly be?"

Sylvie was just as surprised.

They'd always assumed the brilliant young mind behind U.N2 was someone like Alexander—after all, no one else in their generation could compare. On top of that, he was the only son of Dr. Charlie Sterling, which only cemented their belief. Everything pointed to Alexander.

"Are you joking, Mr. Sterling?" Sylvie's voice carried a note of disbelief, though she managed a polite smile. "There's no one else in our field with your reputation."

Jarrod watched Alexander with a thoughtful, unreadable gaze, withholding comment for the moment.

Grady, standing nearby, frowned. "Come on, Mr. Sterling. Don't sell yourself short. We all know U.N2 is military-grade tech. I can't believe you're not at the heart of it."

Alexander's attention shifted to Sylvie. He looked her up and down, subtle but unmistakable, and replied, "I'm telling the truth."

Maurice sucked in a sharp breath.

This turned everything they thought they knew upside down.

If not Alexander, then who in the world could it be?

Even Sylvie seemed at a loss. "Then, Mr. Sterling, could you perhaps introduce us?"

Alexander only offered a cryptic smile. "Introduction… isn't necessary."

The truth was, the person they sought was standing right in front of them. Unfortunately, no one dared to guess it.

Meanwhile, Elodie had been circling the room, quietly assessing the general level of technology on display before making her way back. As she drew closer, she noticed that Jarrod and his group were now standing with Alexander.

But then—

Elodie slowed her steps, her gaze landing on Sylvie.

Jarrod turned, and Sylvie also glanced over.
