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. I’

“Seven days? Acthelstan’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…

The next morning, as Noelle walked through the main lobby on her way to a meeting, a smooth, mocking voice called out from behind her.

“Congratulations, Ms. Lawrence. The project is finally resolved.”

Noelle whipped around to see Silas. He was smiling, but the sheer mockery in his expression was a slap to the face.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Sanders,” Noelle replied evenly,

forcefully suppressing her rage.

Even Finnian had sent her a text, stating the crisis was over and she could finally relax.

The sheer weight of the collective opinions felt like a suffocating net. Noelle couldn’t breathe.

She needed to get out. She needed to find a place where no one could reach her, just to sit in absolute silence.

During her morning meeting, she zoned out entirely. When she closed her eyes, all she saw was Kaia stepping into the elevator with her team, retreating like a triumphant hero while everyone else bowed in

reverence.

That afternoon, Noelle took half the day off. No one knew where she went.

At that exact moment, in Finnian’s office, Dexter was giving his daily briefing.

After finishing the corporate updates, Dexter couldn’t help but add his own observation. “The internal narrative is turning very hostile toward Ms. Lawrence, Boss. People are using this crisis to definitively state that she’s vastly inferior to Dr. Chavez. There are even whispers that Aethelstan will only decline under her leadership. It’s causing real reputational damage internally.”

Finnian leaned back in his leather chair, his eyes dark with thought.

When Finnian didn’t respond, Dexter pressed on. “Dr. Chavez handled this beautifully. Her problem-solving skills are unmatched, and she thoroughly decoded Cytogene’s base tech. We cannot afford to lose a mind like hers, Mr. Sanders.”

Finnian’s finger twitched slightly on the desk.

The Tech Goddess?

She was certainly carning the title.

“Indeed. The company needs her talent,” Finnian said, massaging his temples as if the very thought gave him a headache.

Dexter watched him carefully. “Boss… Dr. Chavez is a genuinely good person. Is there really no way to salvage your relationship?”

Finnian shot him a lethal glare. “Since when are you so invested in my private life?”

A cold sweat broke out on Dexter’s back. He laughed nervously. “I wouldn’t dare. I just think it’d be a massive pity if you two split up.”

“What pity?” Finnian scoffed, his tone dripping with absolute certainty. “A pity devoid of feelings? Is that really a pity?”

Dexter was utterly baffled. He scratched the back of his head, beginning to suspect his boss’s emotional intelligence was severely lacking.

“Boss, I honestly think Dr. Chavez has deep feelings for you.” Dexter wasn’t blind. He had watched Kaia act gentle, soft, and devoted around Finnian for years. If she didn’t love him, she wouldn’t have bothered-she was normally far more composed and mature than Finnian’s own mother. But around Finnian, she had displayed the genuine warmth of a loving

wife.
