Meanwhile inside the grand hall, Riley and Trey moved through the entrance as the energy of the elite gathering washed over them in waves of luxury, loud conversations, clinking glasses, and the soft sound of classical music blending into a polished atmosphere of power and wealth.Riley leaned slightly toward Trey and spoke in a low voice.“Go meet Mr. Erold alone first so he doesn’t get suspicious. I’ll just hang around here.”Trey nodded immediately without hesitation, his posture respectful as always.“Understood, young master.”Then he turned and walked away, disappearing into the crowd with the ease of someone who clearly belonged among powerful people.Riley remained where he was, casually adjusting his stance as his eyes moved across the hall, taking in the elegance of the chandeliers.A server passed by with a tray of wine glasses and Riley, without thinking much of it, reached out and took one just as he turned slightly.That was when Orlean saw him. Standing a few meters aw

Mr. Erold’s face darkened, but then he let out a cold laugh.“You are bluffing,” he said with absolute certainty. “You think you can scare me with nonsense? After today, I will have more power than you can imagine.” He stepped closer, eyes burning with arrogance. “When this launch is over and the world sees what I’ve created, I will crush you. I will make you crawl. I’ll make you apologize for ever standing against me.”Riley only smirked.Then he looked him straight in the eye and said, “That sounds more like what’s about to happen to you.”Mr. Erold frowned hard, trying to understand what Riley meant, but before he could say another word, the door suddenly opened.One of the staff hurried inside and bowed slightly.“Sir, Trey is asking for you. They’re all waiting. The launch is about to begin.”Mr. Erold looked between Riley and Jetty, his jaw tightening with fury. He pointed at both of them with a warning glare.“You two better not dare make a scene today.”With that, he turned a

Jetty swallowed.She knew exactly why the watch was failing.She had built it herself. She knew every limitation, every blind spot, every unfinished flaw in that system. And she had only ever revealed that weakness to one person, which was the anonymous contact. Which meant the person texting her now was most likely behind this entire sabotage. They had deliberately forced the watch into its weak point to expose Erold publicly.Her lips slowly curled.This was her moment.Just then, one of the state senators shot to his feet, his face thunderous as he pointed straight at Mr. Erold.“You told us this was a breakthrough!” he barked. “You made the government endorse this launch. You invited foreign guests to witness it. Investors came here because of your promise. And now you stand here embarrassing all of us with this rubbish?”Mr. Erold looked like he was about to collapse.“N-No, sir, please,” he stammered, clutching the microphone tightly. “I would never have invited all of you if I w

Over the next few days, the entire city was in chaos.The news of Mr. Erold’s arrest spread like wildfire. The News outlets are on it. Investigation was still going on on it. And at the center of it all was Jett.She had gone from an unknown engineer to the most talked-about name in the country within forty-eight hours. Interviews flooded in. Government officials publicly acknowledged her as the rightful creator of the MyLab Smartwatch.Even the flaw she exposed became a major discussion point. The AS genotype and O blood group limitation was now being studied openly, and she had already promised to return to her lab to fix it properly and relaunch a corrected version.Meanwhile, everything Mr. Erold had built collapsed.His company was sealed. And all of his investors are already gone.××××Mr. Erold sat in the cold cell staring at the wall for hours without speaking. The same man who once walked into boardrooms with pride now flinched at every sound in the corridor.He had tried ev

Riley stopped on his track and watched the situation properly, his eyes narrowing as the scene unfolded in the grand lobby of Vortex Enterprises. The air was thick with tension. Employees lingered nearby, pretending to check their phones or shuffle papers, but no one dared intervene. Mira, stood with her head bowed, clutching a mop tightly in her trembling hands. Her uniform was slightly damp from whatever liquid had spilled during the collision.“I’m sorry,” Mira whispered, her voice barely audible. “I will wash the clothes for you and clean them properly. Please, it was an accident.”Gina, the sharply dressed young woman in designer heels and a pristine white blouse now bearing a faint stain, let out a mocking laugh. “Wash it? Do you know how much this costs, you pathetic little bitch? Washing won’t fix anything. You could never afford to replace it even if you worked here for ten years. So get on your knees and apologize properly. That's the only way you can get out of this.”Mi
