The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 67

The mole likely realized they had botched the assignment, too terrified to text back or answer her calls.

That afternoon.

Everyone was gathered in the conference room, waiting for the mysterious leader of the special R&D team.

Lily unconsciously rubbed the barrel of her pen, her gaze locked onto the conference room entrance.

The surrounding colleagues were whispering among themselves, swapping theories about the newcomer's background.

As they understood it, this leader reported directly to The Security Administration, giving them a level of authority that arguably outranked even their own CEO.

Lily took a sip from her water glass, swallowing the gnawing irritation in her chest, just as she caught the conference room door swinging open out of the corner of her eye.

The approaching footsteps were steady and unhurried, instantly drawing the entire room's attention.

Lily looked up, and her heart seized violently. She nearly dropped the glass in her hand.

The woman walking in wore a sharply tailored, dark gray suit skirt set, her long hair pulled back in an immaculate style.

Her posture was perfectly straight, every step radiating grounded confidence. Her eyes swept across the conference room without a trace of hesitation.

Even when faced with a room full of evaluating strangers, she showed no hint of awkwardness. Her eyes were bright and self-assured.

It was as if she had always belonged at the head of this table.

Lily's mind went completely blank for a few agonizing seconds, feeling as if a bucket of ice water had been hurled in her face.

Shock wrapped around her heart like suffocating vines, stealing the breath from her lungs. Her fingers instinctively curled into fists.

Her manicured nails dug so deeply into her palms that the sharp sting of pain was the only thing keeping her from violently losing her composure in front of everyone.

But that shock was obliterated within seconds, swallowed by a surging, toxic wave of fury.

A fire ignited in her chest, burning white-hot through her veins.

Why?
