“Britney, you…”
“Forget it, Edward, just say less.” Bianca stopped Edward in time.
When Britney and Eamon left together, Bianca glanced at Rodrick.
I wondered how he would react if he saw something like what happened to Britney.
However, Rodrick’s expression stayed calm.
It was like seeing a stranger.
When Britney left, I quickly looked away, like I couldn’t even be bothered to look at her again.
The next day, Britney showed up at Nexus Capital as promised and talked about the project with Eamon.
The reason Eamon made it wasn’t just luck; he did have some investment sense.
After he carefully studied Britney’s business plan, he was very interested.
But the way he suggested working together made Britney hesitate.
Eamon meant letting Britney join Nexus Capital and incubate this project as a project manager at Nexus Capital.
Simply put, Eamon wanted more control and benefits.
This was what a real capitalist was like, profit above all.

If it was just this one condition, Britney might have considered if
After all, Nexus Capital was still pretty well–funded, and on Elias’s side, they really needed some cash.
It was okay to sacrifice her share of the benefits.
But Eamon had another condition, he wanted Elias to sign a non- compete agreement with him.
Eamon was sharp. He saw that Elias was actually the key person in this project, so he asked him to sign a non–compete agreement.
Britney could ignore her own interests, but she couldn’t ignore Elias’s.
So she politely turned down Eamon.
Eamon wasn’t in a hurry. He just reminded her, “I know a bit about your situation, and I know you’ve talked to a lot of companies. You’ve seen how things turned out. Sure, you can keep looking for new investors to back this project, but the AI industry changes so fast–if you’re even a day late, you might get left behind. So think it over. You don’t have to give me an answer right now.
After leaving Nexus Capital, Britney went to the hospital to pick up Elias.
He insisted on leaving the hospital early, and the doctor couldn’t do anything about it and just agreed.
Britney was going to take him home, but Elias insisted on going to the studio, saying he had some important files to get.
When she arrived, Britney found out that the important document he mentioned was actually a contract for her to sign.
“I knew you hadn’t signed this contract because you wanted me to have

more options. But I told you, I’d only sign with you, so stop dragging f out. Let’s just get this big thing done today.”
This was his sincerity, and it was also his complete trust in Britney.
Britney was a bit moved.
She didn’t expect Elias saw through her plan.
“Today I went to see Mr. Colton from Nexus Capital, he told me the AI industry was changing really fast, and if you got in even a day late, you could get left behind, so he told me to think it over.”
Britney held the contract, her voice soft, “Now I give this sentence to you, hope you could think it over too.”
Elias picked up the pen from the table and handed it to her, more direct than ever before, “This is my answer, sign it.”
The moment she took the pen, Britney’s eyes felt a little hot. “Let me remind you, once you sign, there’s no turning back.”
“Hurry up and sign it!” Elias kept urging her.
“Also, when you first came to me, didn’t you kind of doubt Am I gonna get replaced?”
