What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 319

In the end, Noelle could only clench her trembling hands, turn on her heel, and flee.

Kaia's progress was blisteringly fast. In exactly seven days, she and her team completely dismantled the technical bottleneck that had stalled Aethelstan for months.

Standing in front of the whiteboard, Kaia didn't even put down her marker as the final verification data aligned perfectly on the screen.

The Veridian Future team erupted into cheers.

Looking at the flawless data, a genuine smile touched Kaia's lips.

From the moment they took over until the final breakthrough, those seven days had forced them to work like dogs.

Now, they could finally go home and sleep.

As Kaia packed up her documents, her eyes fell on the technical files provided by Cytogene.

She remembered the day she first visited Gordon. She had spotted these exact files on his desk, and he had hurriedly locked them in his drawer, treating them like a highly classified treasure. The entire Aethelstan R&D department had guarded these documents with their lives.

Now, to her, they weren't a secret at all. She understood them inside and out.

She closed the folder and turned to her team. "Pack it up. We're heading out before the day is over."

The news that Kaia was pulling her team out sent shockwaves through the entire conglomerate.

Every corridor buzzed with whispered conversations, treating her success like an absolute miracle.

"Seven days? Aethelstan's entire R&D department banged their heads against the wall for months, and she solved it in seven days? She's incredible."

"That's true talent for you. There's a reason they call her The Tech Goddess. She's got the hard academic chops to back it up."

As Kaia and her team walked toward the elevators, the doors began to close. Through the narrowing gap, Kaia saw Noelle rushing down the hallway toward them.

Spotting the Veridian team leaving, Noelle stopped dead in her tracks, staring at the elevator.

This time, Kaia didn't avert her eyes. She met Noelle's stare head-on, holding it until the metal doors slid shut, severing the connection.

The break rooms, the elevators, the cafeteria—every corner of the building was thick with gossip.

As Noelle walked through Aethelstan's halls, the whispers pierced her like needles from every direction.

She used to easily ignore them, knowing that even if she lacked Kaia's technical brilliance, she had the absolute backing of the Sanders family.

But Josephine's recent, brutal attacks had left Noelle drowning in a profound sense of crisis.

If she couldn't even maintain control of Aethelstan...
