Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 535

It was undeniably strange for her password to be changed after such a long hiatus.

But the meeting had just hit a critical juncture, and the entire room was waiting to debate the next phase of their strategy. She simply didn't have the luxury to get distracted by personal errands.

Willow gave the phone a dismissive glance, flipped it back over, and decided to deal with it later.

The second the meeting adjourned and Willow reached for her phone, an emergency alert blared from the lab. A catastrophic anomaly had struck the live experiment. An untraceable loophole had corrupted the data link, and the entire team had failed multiple debugging attempts. Out of the entire research division, Willow was the only one who had navigated this specific experiment enough times to possess the veteran instincts required to salvage the situation.

She immediately sprinted to the lab. The compromised password was instantly pushed to the back of her mind.

Over the next few days, Vivienne poured every waking second into dissecting WH’s academic philosophy and writing cadence.

Her natural talent had hard limits. No matter how many times she read the dense, cutting-edge biological principles, precise data models, and complex logic trees, they remained an incomprehensible blur. But she was smart enough to play to her strengths. She abandoned the deep science and obsessively drilled the foundational theories, the rhetorical logic, and the exact phrasing WH used.

Through sheer mimicry, memorization, and relentless rehearsal, she absorbed the superficial layers of WH’s public persona. Within days, she could seamlessly weave WH’s rhetoric into her own speech. Every gesture and spoken sentence held an uncanny resemblance to the real deal—enough to easily pass as the authentic genius.

Bolstered by her rapid progress, Vivienne couldn't wait any longer. She needed to put on a show for Smith, secure his validation, and claim what was rightfully hers.

She reached out and extended an invitation to Mr. Smith. She used the ultimate bait, explicitly stating that she was the "WH" he had been desperately searching for.

Naturally, Smith accepted without hesitation. Finding WH was a massive part of why he had traveled to New York City in the first place. Now that he finally had a solid lead, he cleared his entire schedule to make the meeting his top priority.
