Seraphina frowned. 

“Understood.” 

What is Alexander up to? Did he really think that by holding onto a few pieces of data, he could monopolize the project’s results? 

“The Cross Group in Lacuna has already begun leaking information. Everyone now believes they’ve completed the product ahead of schedule. If we announce our results now, it’ll look like we’re just copying them! We’re in a tough spot.” 

“What do you suggest?” Seraphina asked, eyeing him carefully. 

Aiden nodded and said, “I want you to help me contact someone.” 

“Who?” 

“Your brother, Sergio.” 

Seraphina froze for a moment but quickly realized why Aiden would want to contact her brother. 

Sergio was the second son in the Cross family. In the meantime, he assumed a different persona–the brilliant artificial intelligence engineer known as Prometheus. 

As long as the public knew that this project was led by Prometheus, the problems would be resolved. 

After all, no one could believe that a genius like him would resort to plagiarism. 

“But…” Seraphina said hesitatedly, “I can try to contact him, but I can’t guarantee he’ll leave his beloved lab. He didn’t even come to my birthday yesterday!” 

O 

Aiden chuckled and said, “We only need to borrow his name. Of course, it would be wonderful if he could show up in person.” 

After Aiden left, Seraphina immediately ordered an investigation into the movements of the branch in 

Lacuna. 

Sure enough, by the afternoon, the internet was buzzing with all sorts of rumors. 

On behalf of the company, Alexander announced the latest advancements in their research. The AI app was about to hit the market, sparking intense debate. 

“Wasn’t this a three–way collaboration? How did the Cross Group release it first?” 

“Driven by profit, huh? Business partners really can’t be trusted!” 

“Releasing it so quickly–can they guarantee the quality?” 

“Has Seraphina gone mad with greed?”

in Lacuna was still under Seraphina’s command. Therefore, both praise and criticism naturally fell on her. 

It wasn’t long before Cross Group’s stock price started to waver and show signs of a downward trend. 

Luckily, Giant Group and Dros Group didn’t take advantage of the situation, but they waited for Cross Group to handle the crisis. 

Seraphina immediately asked her staff to get the car ready. She decided to go to Lacuna herself to deal with the matter. 

Sivir let her take the lead while he stayed behind, coordinating with Giant Group to investigate the leak’s 

source. 

Seraphina closely monitored the developments online during her few hours on the road. 

The public opinion was mixed. 

Seraphina knew that this was disastrous for the Cross Group. Losing credibility was a severe blow. 

“We’ve arrived, Ms. Cross.” 

Thomas got out of the car and opened the door for her. 

Seraphina stepped out briskly. Her high heels clicked on the pavement as she headed straight into the building. 

“Who is that? How can anyone just walk in here?” 

The receptionist, who had been dozing off, looked up in annoyance. 

As soon as she saw Seraphina’s face, she jolted upright. 

“M–Ms. Cross?”
