I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 405

Zachary's desperate attitude shocked everyone—except Zoe. She was entirely used to this by now.

The moment they had officially announced their emotional AI bot, investment offers from all over the country had practically crashed their corporate servers.

But their doors had always been firmly closed to foreign capital. If Zachary hadn't burned his bridge with Easton, he probably wouldn't have even looked twice at their project.

Nobody was more stunned by Zachary's groveling than Sienna and Ethan.

Ethan shot a look at Garrett, suddenly convinced he had figured it out.

Zachary wasn't actually here for Zoe; he knew about Zoe's 'special relationship' with Garrett. A smart negotiator knew that when dealing with a tough opponent, manipulating the woman was far easier than tackling the man directly.

If he won Zoe over, Garrett would cave. It was the classic tactic of pillow talk—a trick that had brought down empires for centuries.

While Ethan continued to dismiss Zoe entirely, Sienna felt a cold spike of anxiety. Was Zoe really this capable?

Zoe was the one who had originally pitched the concept for The Domestic Care Bot back when she led the team. Why had Zachary trashed that idea, but completely lost his mind over this new emotional AI project?

Sienna was absolutely certain there was a secret genius pulling the strings behind Zoe—maybe the real author of the paper in The Global Science Review, Lily. If that was true, Zoe was nothing more than a convenient puppet.

Puppets always got exposed eventually. And when that happened, Zoe would be outed as completely useless.
