The 24th Century Warrior Became a Fake Heiress novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 Counterstrike

Isabella had everything mapped out in her mind.

Finished

She wrote back to Eugene, “Don’t sweat it. Powell Group and Bexley Group are digging their own graves.”

Her tone stayed cool as she added, “Just make sure you’re prepared.

“Prepared for Carter Group to take off.”

The poor decisions Powell and Bexley were making would eventually catch up with them–and when they fell, Carter Group would step right over them and rise to the top.

Carter wasn’t going to be their stepping stone.

They were going to be his.

Over in his home office, Eugene raised an eyebrow, caught off guard.

Vex never failed to surprise him.

He’d expected her to be at least a little on edge–after all, Powell and Bexley had been developing their project much longer than Carter had.

Even with the highly detailed materials she’d provided, many people at his firm still didn’t fully trust him or the project.

Most doubted they could compete with the joint venture Powell and Bexley had put together.

He never imagined Vex would sound this confident

After a moment’s thought, he typed back, “You’re right. We’re going to come out on top.”

It was clear to him now–Vex held a serious grudge against Powell Group.

If she wasn’t completely sure of their advantage, she wouldn’t have handed him the project in the first place.

This exchange only confirmed what he’d already suspected: Vex had something up her sleeve, something that would secure their win when the time game.

Sure enough, her reply popped up almost immediately.

“Exactly. Have your team set up a virtual meeting with me.

“If you hit any roadblocks–technical issues, questions, anything slowing you down–you can reach out anytime. I’ll provide full support through the whole development cycle.

Just offering technical help wouldn’t be enough, though. Powell and Bexley’s product launch was scheduled for the end of the month. Even if Carter’s team could quickly absorb the R&D materials Isabella had sent over, there still wouldn’t be enough time to properly debug, refine, build stronger datasets, and deliver a polished, market–ready product.

That was why Isabella decided to step in personally–to fill every gap and tackle every technical hurdle herself.

They really didn’t need to worry about Powell and Bexley.

Those two were headed for a meltdown do their own.

Releasing an untested, half–baked product just to cash in early?

Powell Group and Bexley Group were finished.

A cold gleam flickered in Isabella’s eyes as she sent an anonymous message to Edward.

“Powell and Bexley’s project isn’t complete. They’re just chasing a quick payout.”

She knew Edward would understand what to do.

If he wanted to strike back at Bexley Group and make up for how Hanks Group had been shorted before, he wouldn’t let this chance slip by. As for Powell Group–well, they had it coming.

They’d shorted Hanks too.

They deserved what was coming.

The moment Isabella’s message went through, Edward responded.

“Who is this?”

But Isabella didn’t reply. Instead, she finalized the details with Eugene.

“Tomorrow, 3 PM. Virtual meeting.”

She didn’t have class tomorrow anyway.

She planned to swing by the villa community to pick up her property deed and keys.

After she sent that, Eugene came back with a quick, “Cot it.”

Then Isabella logged off.

When he read her reply, Eugene was genuinely taken aback.

He hadn’t expected Vex to go this far.

It seemed her beef with Powell Group ran deeper than he’d thought.

While Eugene was turning that over in his head, Edward was on the other end, squinting at his screen.

He had no idea who this anonymous tipster was–or how they knew he’d been looking into Powell and Bexley.
