After the Fall A Leap into a Stranger's Arms novel Chapter 312

Catherine couldn’t help but laugh. “The true power of Resonance AI? You mean the one you’re holding onto right now?”

Shirley’s face stiffened before she shot back, “Is there another Resonance AI in the world besides mine?” She straightened her back and tried to sound confident. “I built Resonance AI from the ground up. No one knows its potential better than I do. And you, well, you can be jealous all you want, but it won’t change anything. I’m Waldo’s wife now. I have all the resources and connections I could ever need.”

Catherine just gave her a cool look. If Dad hadn’t collapsed so suddenly, The James Group would already be served with a lawsuit from Nexus Dynamics.

Without another word, Catherine turned and walked away.

Shirley watched her go, her knuckles whitening as she clenched her fists. Just wait, Catherine. Once my Resonance AI is ready, even Nexus Dynamics will have to think twice before coming after me.

Lawrence finished his call and spotted Catherine heading his way. He crossed the room in a few long strides, slipped an arm around her waist, and shot a cold glare at Shirley in the distance. “People like her aren’t worth your time.”

Shirley couldn’t hear what he said, but his look alone made her skin crawl. She hurried into the hospital room and closed the door behind her.

Inside, her adoptive father lay sleeping on the bed. She felt nothing. Family meant little to her now. Only her own interests mattered.

She sat down, grabbed her phone, and started scrolling. Nestor heard the sound and opened his eyes, glancing at Shirley as she sat by his bed.

A wave of disappointment hit him. He thought she might say something caring, but she’d been there several minutes already, completely absorbed in her phone, not sparing him a single word.
