How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 707

It all happened so suddenly.

Even Jarrod narrowed his eyes.

At a moment like this.

What a “coincidence.”

Klein’s face shifted. “Is it spreading?”

The secretary nodded. “I don’t know how, but the news is moving fast. Word’s already reached the public that Mr. Silverstein’s company is about to partner with our national research project. There’s already an uproar—accusations that… someone’s died, that this company is a hazard.”

The truth was, the rumors were even uglier than that.

Some were even questioning oversight from the top.

A fatality isn’t a trivial matter.

It meant that not only were the materials under scrutiny, but the factory’s reliability and safety were now in question, too.

Two disasters landing at once.

A double blow.

Elodie’s mind raced, stringing together the key issues.

Data, at least, could be retested given time.

But factory hazards, a death, and the public already in a frenzy—this had escalated to a whole new level.

She frowned, glancing across at Jarrod, who sat composed and unruffled.

Jarrod’s eyes lowered, lost in thought. He sat with his legs crossed, hardly moving, voice casual and almost amused: “News spreads this fast, yet as the CEO, I haven’t heard a thing. Seems the whole world’s in an uproar.”

He knew.

The moment trouble started, Jeremiah’s team would’ve tried to suppress and handle it first.

But clearly, someone was pushing things from behind the scenes.

Clifford’s face was now ashen. “Our flagship project is about to start using these materials, and now all this? Mr. Silverstein, you’ll be labeled a hazardous partner. Every aspect will be investigated, and even after the dust settles, it’ll take ages to restore confidence. Our project can’t wait for that!”

That was the crux.
