The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 33

Zachary smiled without saying a word, maintaining his usual caution.

Lily instinctively tensed up.

Ever since she had made the pact with Silas to take over Apex, her every move had been under his intense scrutiny.

Apex Microelectronics and Lockwood Holdings were Silas's right and left arms. They were his most prized assets, entirely under his absolute control.

This realization served as a stark wake-up call.

Risking her brilliantly paved future over someone like Alaina wasn't worth it in the slightest.

After all, Alaina didn't have much longer to live anyway.

Why bother dirtying her own hands?

Given the current situation, Alaina was completely powerless to make a comeback.

Lily batted her eyelashes, probing carefully. "You've been with Silas for years. You must know he has high hopes for me. Apex will eventually be mine to run, and it only makes sense that Silas will hand over the Security Administration's top-secret research collaborations to me as well, right?"

Zachary replied with practiced diplomacy. "As you know, Ms. Summers, the boss has strictly forbidden us from discussing official business."

He quickly changed the subject. "By the way, Mr. Summers asked me to remind you that the anniversary of your biological parents' passing is coming up. Please make sure to clear your schedule."

Lily didn't push him any further. She gave a curt nod and walked away.

After a moment of thought, she sent a text to Julian, then forwarded a screenshot to Ethan to prove she had gone out of her way to help.

Meanwhile, inside the precinct holding cell.

Alaina huddled in the corner, wondering if the outside world had descended into total chaos.

She didn't care what others thought of her; her only fear was that Professor Foster and Logan were sick with worry.

At her age, she knew she couldn't break down and cry. Terrified of becoming a laughingstock, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her pain.

The next morning, when the officer told her she was free to go, she was genuinely caught off guard.

After all, the evidence presented during the interrogation proved that whoever orchestrated this had gone to great lengths to frame her.

Dragging her exhausted body out of the precinct, the first thing she saw was Logan pacing anxiously near the entrance.
