How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 708

Watts finally revealed the source of his materials, resolving the tense impasse with perfect timing.

Anyone watching would agree—he’d just saved the day.

A flurry of thoughts raced through Elodie's mind; she couldn't pretend she wasn't surprised.

This material was so rare that even overseas, only a handful of companies had access to it. It was a cornerstone of military power and cutting-edge technology, a ticket to absolute influence—and, even more, to unimaginable profit.

It was the kind of prize that could drive investors into a frenzy.

Until now, only Jarrod had managed to secure it domestically, making the entire industry—and even the continent—reliant on his production process.

Yet Watts, it turned out, had it too. He’d never breathed a word, not the faintest hint...

Not until this very moment.

Suddenly, Elodie realized just how deep a game this young man was playing.

She instinctively glanced at Jarrod.

He sat with patrician poise, leaning back and watching Watts, unhurried and unruffled.

He didn’t seem surprised at all.

Elodie felt her tension ebb away. She waited for what would happen next.

Klein, on the other hand, was stunned. “Watts, are you absolutely certain about this?”

Watts gave a sly smile, sinking comfortably into his chair. “Mr. Whitaker, I am, after all, the next in line at Eldrion Global. With the company behind me, is there really anything you doubt?”

He turned to Jarrod. “Granted, my company’s not quite the giant that Silverstein Industries is, but supplying for the next year or two shouldn’t be an issue. Especially considering—well, Mr. Silverstein has his hands full right now...”

He sighed, almost sounding regretful. “With everything that’s happened, it can’t be easy. Public outrage, loss of life, mounting questions—it’s not something that just goes away. Honestly, I’d hoped to stay out of the domestic market, but with Silverstein’s troubles, I felt it was only fair to offer the authorities another choice. No sense in letting a major research project stall, don’t you think?”

Jarrod looked at him coolly. “Mr. Aldridge, your timing is impeccable—not a second too soon.”

Watts chuckled softly. “Just looking out for the greater good.”
