How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 710

Elodie’s words brought a fleeting shadow across Watts’ face.

He truly hadn’t seen this coming—there was another layer to all this.

Around the conference table, everyone’s expressions shifted dramatically.

Elodie’s work on the U.N2 project had ushered in a new era of integrated reconnaissance and attack technology, setting a benchmark for scientific achievement. That honor alone meant that, even if she had falsified her data this time, those in power would have likely let it slide.

In other words, as long as Elodie didn’t cross a real line, her position was untouchable.

And yet, now she’d revealed something entirely unexpected.

The creation of U.N2—Jarrod had played a part?

In truth, Elodie herself had only learned this recently. After several rounds of diagnostics and a few candid conversations with Jeremiah, she realized that Jarrod had started his materials company much earlier than she’d thought.

Back then, she’d been racking her brain over a breakthrough in U.N2’s material. It was at that moment that someone reached out, offering support to her research team. She hadn’t known exactly where the help came from.

But after reviewing the data and connecting the dots, she was certain—Jarrod was the one.

He’d never once let it slip. Not even the slightest hint.

And now, Jarrod didn’t deny it.

He’d set all this in motion long ago, and honestly, he was surprised Elodie had figured it out.

With the trump card of U.N2 revealed, the dynamic in the room shifted once again.

Jarrod lifted his gaze and, standing shoulder to shoulder with Elodie, glanced at Watts before speaking in a calm, almost offhand manner: “What a coincidence. I’m familiar with Mr. Aldridge’s company. Two years ago, we had a business dispute. Back then, Mr. Aldridge’s technology and supply chain couldn’t hold up, and the company had to close its doors. I didn’t expect it would be back in operation these past two years. Still, I’m the type who likes to keep records of old scores. I’ve kept detailed notes on the issues that led your company to lose out to mine. Oh, and since I’ve been traveling abroad recently, I took the liberty of checking up on Mr. Aldridge’s current production methods. It seems… they’re still a step behind mine.”

At those words, Watts’ expression turned icy.

Jarrod signaled Andrea, who handed out another set of documents.

Klein and Clifford skimmed through them.

It was true—Watts’ company was back on its feet, but the files also outlined several hidden risks, all backed up with up-to-date figures.

Watts’ eyes grew even colder.

He hadn’t anticipated Jarrod would be so thorough.
