After the Fall A Leap into a Stranger's Arms novel Chapter 182

He definitely hadn’t realized just how much Nexus Dynamics valued Catherine. Now they were going all out to back The Blair Group, leaving no doubt about their support.

Who was really making all this happen? Catherine was talented, sure, but Nexus Dynamics attracted the best tech minds from around the world. Compared to some of them, Catherine was maybe somewhere in the middle. So why was she suddenly getting all this attention?

If anyone deserved to be called a tech genius, it was Shirley. She had Resonance AI, a system so advanced even Nexus Dynamics wanted in. As for Catherine winning the Apex Initiative Project, that felt more like luck than anything else.

Waldo yanked at his tie, frustration twisting inside him. The sting of losing still wouldn’t go away.

Catherine, there’s no way I’m giving up that easily.

The Blair Estate

When Shirley walked in, she spotted Nestor already home. She’d expected him to be furious after hearing that Catherine had spent a billion on a bracelet. But instead, he was just sitting calmly on the sofa, sipping his tea like nothing could bother him.

“Dad, did you call Catherine? What did she say?” Shirley eased herself down next to him, watching his expression.

There was a hint of pride in Nestor’s eyes as he answered. “I called her. She said the bracelet was a reward from Nexus Dynamics. No matter how high the bid, they’ll pay for it.”

For a moment, Shirley just stared. Nexus Dynamics was paying for it? Was that even possible?

“Dad, she’s got to be lying,” Shirley said, grabbing his arm. “What kind of company gives out rewards like that? She’s making it up. She has to be.”

Nestor had wondered the same thing. What company would ever hand out rewards like this? Still, if the CEO himself had agreed, then maybe it really wasn’t so strange.
