The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1679

“You've got this!”

“Trust your instincts!”

Raymond was nothing if not brutally practical.

Before he had seen her raw talent, he had treated her like a spoiled nepotism hire, practically starting a war over her presence.

The second she proved her genius, he was ready to disown his own student and forcefully adopt her as his ultimate protégé.

“Well, Raymond, are you ready to admit my scouting instincts are flawless?”

Ulysses, feeling intensely vindicated, demanded a full apology.

Raymond wasn't too proud to admit defeat.

He nodded begrudgingly, though he still shot Ulysses a vicious glare.

“It's your fault for failing to clearly communicate her technical specifications! You caused this entire misunderstanding!”

If he failed to recruit this girl to his department, he was absolutely going to make Ulysses pay.

Ulysses was stunned. He was literally just doing his job, and now he was the scapegoat?

He had never realized Raymond was this petty.

Analyzing the drive, Claire realized the underlying architecture was truly a masterpiece.

Anyone else would have absolutely triggered the kill switch.

But having just dismantled a nearly identical self-destruct protocol, she was pulsing with confidence.

Barely thirty minutes later, Claire emerged from the secure server room.

Raymond and the rest of the brass were pacing anxiously in the hall.

“Well?” Raymond asked. Even though he had prepared for failure, he was desperately praying for a miracle.

To put it bluntly, the entire future of national security rested on this single piece of hardware!

“It was too complex, wasn't it? Don't worry if you couldn't...”

Raymond couldn't even finish his sentence before Claire cut him off. “The firewall is down.”

What?

Raymond aggressively rubbed his ears, convinced he was hallucinating.
