Chapter 66: Blind Leading the Blind
She repeatedly took every single opportunity during department huddles and corridor chats to openly belittle Alex Crown's past approach as completely outdated, cowardly, and overly conservative. Holding her digital tablet high like a badge of honor, Clara strutted between the testing benches, her voice loud and full of sharp, mocking contempt for the man who was no longer there to defend himself. "Honestly, looking at the old logs, it’s unbelievable how much time was wasted under the previous management," Clara scoffed loudly, making sure the entire room could hear her sharp words. "Alex Crown kept this entire department moving at a snail's pace because he was simply too frightened to push boundaries! Look at what we’ve done under Mr. Doom's leadership! Within just a few short days, we have successfully completed full parameter recalibration, extensive process optimization, and comprehensive production-line improvements! In less than a single week, we have accomplished what Alex Crow
Chapter 65: Borrowed Glory
In Dennis's narrow, arrogant view, those stubborn veteran engineers were not raising genuine technical concerns at all. They were merely bitter, old-fashioned employees who were simply unwilling to accept his newfound authority! In his mind, they were just loyal dogs still clinging to the memory of Alex Crown, purposely exaggerating minor testing hiccups to undermine his leadership.He firmly believed that numbers on paper were all that truly mattered in the corporate world. As long as he could proudly walk into that high-stakes conference and present testing results showing nearly a thirty percent improvement in overall performance parameters, the strict military acceptance team would shower him with praise, instantly recognizing his extraordinary brilliance and commercial achievements.When that glorious moment arrived, those conservative old engineers would be left completely red-faced, humiliated, with absolutely nothing left to say!More importantly, pulling off such a monumental
Chapter 64: Recipe for Disaster
Clara had long heard of Dennis's glowing reputation within the corporate tower. Among all the ambitious new hires who had joined the company over the past year, he was undeniably the one most favored, pampered, and protected by President Selena Sterling herself. There were even rampant, whispered rumors spreading through every breakroom that Selena secretly preferred Dennis over her own husband, Alex Crown, indulging his every whim and taking his side in every dispute. Among the newer, younger employees, this scandalous dynamic was hardly a secret at all.Clara calculated the situation rapidly in her head. If she could proactively establish a close, loyal working relationship with Dennis right now—becoming his trusted right-hand woman on this project—there would be nothing but endless promotions, bonuses, and prestige waiting for her in the near future!Seeing that someone had finally stepped up to openly support his bold ideas, Dennis Doom felt even more energized, vindicated, and
Chapter 63: Opportunity
Hearing Dennis’s venomous criticism—which superficially sounded like a pitiful attempt to defend Alex’s cautious nature, but was actually a direct, vicious attack on his professionalism, competence, and confidence—the entire atmosphere in the R&D office instantly fell dead silent.The low hum of cooling fans and testing monitors suddenly felt deafening in the heavy, tense quiet that followed. Technicians and assistants froze at their workbenches, exchanging wide-eyed, uncomfortable glances. Everyone in that department knew how tirelessly Alex had worked, how many late nights he had spent perfecting the safety tolerances, and how much he had protected the company from disastrous failures. Yet, Dennis stood there with an arrogant smirk, trampling all over Alex's three years of blood and sweat with a few cheap, slanderous words.Dennis, however, paid absolutely no attention to the stunned and resentful reactions of these senior engineers. In his narrow, greedy eyes, these old veterans
Chapter 62: Taking Charge
A dark, triumphant smile soon returned to his face, wiping away the brief flicker of unease that had clouded his mind.Alex Crown, that arrogant, pathetic fool! Dennis thought to himself, a thrill of pure malice coursing through his veins. Alex had actually allowed himself to be provoked so easily into storming out, throwing a dramatic tantrum and leaving everything behind over a single staged incident on the street. It was nothing short of a heaven-sent, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity handed to him on a silver platter!Dennis understood with absolute clarity that he had to make full, ruthless use of Alex's impulsive departure. He had to seize this golden chance, perform exceptionally well during this critical military inspection, and gradually make Selena Sterling become completely accustomed to relying on him for every single operational need instead.Step by step, day by day, he intended to erase Alex Crown's lingering influence, memory, and presence from Selena's heart complete
Chapter 61: Erase you...
In reality, Dennis was carefully using his weakness and vulnerability to trigger Selena's overwhelming sympathy and push her toward making some irrational and impulsive decision. Every slow, dragging step he took toward the door was measured down to the millimeter, knowing her inside out. He knew her guilt was a weapon he could wield with effortless precision.As expected, Selena softened immediately.Seeing him limp toward the exit with his head hanging low, clutching his bruised ribs as if her lack of faith had physically wounded him, completely shattered her resolve. A wave of intense guilt and panic washed over her chest. How could she treat him like an untrustworthy outsider after everything he had endured for her sake?The very next moment, she hurried around her massive desk and called him back, her voice full of urgent warmth.“Dennis, wait! Stop right there,” Selena pleaded, stepping forward and reaching out to gently grab his arm, stopping him just inches from the doorw
