Chapter 169 Virtual Breakthrough
Just recalling that dreadful scene–oh, and Eugene too…
It felt completely hopeless.
But never mind that now.
“I really enjoy watching them. I’ll stop by another time to take a closer look.”

He chuckled to himself–with Isabella living right here, he could come see the drones anytime he wanted.
What he was really curious about was what the Wayne family’s security detait looked like in action.
It seemed pretty impressive from what he’d heard.
“Sure,” Isabella replied with a warm smile, her eyes crinkling at the corners.
She felt genuinely happy now that one of her wishes had come true.
Living next door to the Carters had been another hope of hers.
From here on out, life was only going to get better.
Whatever the original owner of this life had gone through–that wasn’t her burden anymore.
She was here now, living fully in this world, in place of that other girl.
Once they finished eating, Brett headed off excitedly to check out the drone formations and patrol routes.
Isabella had already informed the security team to accommodate him in any way he liked–if he wanted to see something specific or even test the drones himself, they were to allow it.
If a drone got damaged in the process, so be it.
They were just little gadgets to her–she could always build more without much effort.
The security company agreed without hesitation.
It didn’t matter that Brett was a Carter–even if he weren’t, the fact that he was Isabella’s friend was reason enough for them to treat him with care.
After all, Isabella was far from ordinary. She could overhaul their entire security setup on a whim, not to mention drop billions on this estate without batting an eye. She was clearly among the top tier of financial elites–maybe even an heir or a core player in her circle.
So they handled Brett with kid gloves.
Once Brett was settled, Isabella checked the time and saw that her meeting with Eugene was approaching. She made her way up to the second–floor study.
She locked the door behind her and activated the second–floor surveillance feed.

Soof, the entire second floor and the grounds outside appeared clearly across her monitor.
After a quick glance at Brett who was outside happily directing drone formations–she focused on the meeting icon glowing on her computer screen.
She clicked it.
Her Vex account logged her into the secure virtual conference room.
The Carter Group team was using a private, encrypted online meeting setup.
The meeting link and pathway had been configured by their own tech staff. Unless someone managed to crack their encryption and bypass their firewalls, no outsider could eavesdrop on their discussioni.
Right now, the team was waiting anxiously in the digital meeting space.
It was a fully 3D virtual conference.
Each member appeared as a customizable 3D avatar.
To maintain privacy–especially Vex’s–video feeds were disabled by default.
At that moment, the team was gathered around a virtual long table, controlling their avatars with subtle
movements.
When Vex’s icon lit up and her avatar materialized at the head of the table, everyone’s tension spiked.
This meeting was crucial.
Powell Group and Bexley Group had already announced the launch of their Neural–Network Interface System by month’s end. Carter Group didn’t have much time left.
They were stuck at the same critical development bottleneck that had slowed Powell Group earlier.
