How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 402 Jarrod didn't seem the least bit anxious. He lowered his gaze, watching Elodie's face. "Take your tto think it over.

He wasn't trying to pressure her, either.

He simply placed the documents on the table, tapping them lightly with his knuckles before meeting her eyes. "You can reach out toanytime." He didn't linger, nor did he expect Elodie to answer right away. With that, he turned and left.

Elodie sat in her chair for a while, lost in thought.

Eventually, she picked up the stack of documents and headed downstairs.

Grady Mercer, perhaps because of Jarrod's presence earlier, hadn't stuck around long and left soon after. Alexander Sterling immediately noticed the weight in Elodie's expression. When the three of them finally met up with Esmeralda Mercer in the restaurant, neither he nor Elodie mentioned Grady's earlier attempt to stir up trouble-they both knew Esmeralda's temper well enough that she'd have stormed back upstairs to confront him on the spot.

Instead, Elodie brought up what Jarrod had said, handing them the documents he'd left behind.

It was all there-papers for a no-cost transfer of shares, along with every bit of necessary documentation. Jarrod had left nothing to chance.

He'd already signed everything.

Nexus Analytics was one of the tech companies he'd invested in.

He'd take care of transferring the assets and officially separating Nexus Analytics from The Silverstein Group.

Every asset-even the trademark-would be handed over to Elodie.

Alexander flipped through the paperwork for a while.

It was almost unbelievable.

Both he and Esmeralda sat in stunned silence for a moment.

"Nexus Analytics? He's just giving it to you?" Esmeralda's eyes widened in shock, which quickly gave way to the giddy excitement of someone who'd just struck gold. "He's just handing over a company that big? That's insane- in a good way!" Nexus Analytics was the country's leading drone manufacturer, after all.

A truly diversified provider.

When it cto brand manufacturing, they'd already reached near-monopoly status.

VistaLink Technologies would need years to reach that level.

Alexander looked just as surprised. He'd assumed Jarrod would cin swinging, maybe try to pressure them into backing down-after all, it wasn't as if Jarrod couldn't play hardball when he wanted to. But instead...

"What's his angle?" Alexander muttered, shaking his head. Jarrod had even provided a full report on Nexus Analytics' finances for the past several years, along with detailed records of every aspect of the company. There were no skeletons in the closet.

The company's upward trajectory was unmistakable.

Elodie absentmindedly rinsed her bowl and fork, lost in thought, before finally asking, "What do you both think?" After all, VistaLink Technologies belonged to Alexander and Esmeralda, too-she wasn't about to make a decision without talking it through.

Alexander kept his tone analytical. "He's not wrong about sthings. The Silverstein Group's legal team is practically legendary. If they defend her, there's a good chance the problem gets resolved." That made Elodie frown.

She hadn't considered that The Silverstein Group's lawyers might get involved.

"And if Sylvie ends up behind bars, who'll take over Neural Intelligence?" Alexander continued. "It'll be Jarrod right? He's not Sylvie-give him two years and Neural Intelligence will be a household name. By the tSylvie gets out, she'll just be cashing in on his work." That was enough to make anyone furious.

After all, Sylvie's problems weren't even serious enough to justify seizing her assets or reclaiming her shares.

Elodie understood the logic.

Esmeralda let out a low whistle. "Who wouldn't want a piece of Nexus Analytics? Giving up something that valuable for Sylvie's sake she's not worth it. Jarrod's trying to wrap things up fast and if we profit from it, so be it." No use losing their heads just to spite Sylvie.

Nexus Analytics was a gold mine.

If Elodie gained control of it, and combined its resources with Vista Link Technologies' talent, they could reach a whole new level in tech.

Neural Intelligence wouldn't even cclose.

Jarrod definitely had the power to pull this off. Even if they resisted, with his background and legal team, he could get Sylvie out quickly and by the book. The whole point of going to the authorities was to protect their own interests. Nobody had expected Jarrod to counter with such an enormous offer.

"Back when you divorced, he gave you a chunk of Nexus Analytics shares on the spot. Now, as a shareholder, you can transfer thcompany much more smoothly-no need for outside negotiations. That skips a lot of red tape," Alexander said, still looking amazed

Honestly, this was a huge win for Elodie. For VistaLink Technologies, it was a game-changing turning point-an opportunity to break through their current limits and aim even higher. Elodie hadn't expected that the shares Jarrod gave her back then would make things so much easier now.

As for Sylvie, her losses were already massive.

Her reputation was in tatters. Professor Abbott had cut all ties, and Verdant University had revoked her admission.

Neural Intelligence was bound to with a struggle for a while, and as its m director, Sylvie would be left dealing mess that might be even worse than serving time.
