Chapter 20 

The room went dead silent. 

“Amber Howard is not my fiancée. She never was. I am married. My wife is Eleanor Coates.” 

His eyes cut through the crowd and landed on me. 

“Eleanor, I’m sorry. I should have set the record straight sooner.” 

Two hundred pairs of eyes swung toward me. 

People scrambled for their phones. 

Whispers rippled through the hall as people leaned into their neighbors. 

Some had already recognized me. 

An investor sitting next to Thomas Sterling stood up abruptly: “Eleanor Coates? The daughter of the late research leads, Desmond and Catherine Coates?” 

Most people didn’t know the names. 

But in the scientific circles and upper-tier business hubs of Veridia Metro, my parents’ names carried 

weight. 

They were decorated posthumously for their service. 

While the government didn’t broadcast it, the people in our world knew. 

“Her parents were that team…” 

“The ones who did… that work. Unreal.” 

“She’s in that unit too? Ten years now?” 

す 

The murmurs swelled through the venue. 

Amber stood anchored to the spot, while the people around her instinctively backed away. 

Stacy had vanished into thin air. 

Mr. Vance closed his folder and glanced at Amber. 

“Ms. Howard, you’ll receive our formal correspondence regarding further legal action at your mailing 

address.” 

Amber’s mouth worked, but no words came out.

Dressed in that red dress, she stood in the center of two hundred people like a target lit by a spotlight, Dowhere to run, 

I thought Amber would lie low after the launch. 

She didn’t. 

She vanished for three days. 

On the fourth, she reached out to two of Pierce’s key partners. 

One was the Harrow family, joint developers on the West Side commercial project. The other was a logistics and supply chain company at the Veridia Port. 

She set up meetings with both, using “passing a message from Pierce” as a pretext. 

In reality, she pitched two lies. 

First: The Summit Group was unstable, Pierce was too bogged down by family drama to move projects forward, and they should pull out now. 

Second: Eleanor Coates’s classified status was a fabrication. She was a nobody, and Pierce’s success wasn’t due to her family’s leverage, but his own merit. 

She poisoned the well to ruin Pierce and destroy my credibility. 

If they pulled their funding, the Summit Group’s cash flow would hemorrhage. 

The Harrow family didn’t bite. The Harrow patriarch called Pierce to verify, then blocked Amber for good. 

But the logistics company panicked. 

They froze a payment currently in process, citing “internal risk control.” 

The sum wasn’t massive, but the signal was lethal. 

If word got out, everyone else in the supply chain would follow suit 

୮ 

Pierce’s voice was uncharacteristically jagged when he called. 

“Amber has lost her mind.”
