Chapter 65
Chapter 65:
Brayden’s gaze shifted toward Gracie, who was already explaining her invention to the press, and his tone was cool and deliberate. “You coveted her research first. What made you think she wouldn’t strike back? If she hadn’t appeared today, you would’ve claimed her work as your own. Theo, I see now—your cunning runs deeper than I imagined p>
When Brayden turned away, the warmth once shared between brothers had drained from his eyes, leaving only fury and betrayal.
Kevin, seated nearby, slammed his palm on the armrest. “That’s enough! We’ll deal with this at home p>
His sharp gaze darted toward Theo and Ellie. “You two better have a good explanation waiting for me p>
Ellie’s chest burned with indignation. Everything had been so carefully arranged—how had it fallen apart like this?
She snapped, “That technology was Theo’s! Gracie stole it, and instead of defending him, you’re scolding us p>
Kevin pivoted toward Theo, his voice thunderous. “Is that true? Was the project yours p>
Theo’s complexion turned ghostly pale. His hands tightened into trembling fists. “No… it’s not. It belongs to Gracie p>
Ellie’s eyes widened in disbelief. “That can’t be! It was yours—at least, in the previous life—” She stopped abruptly, realization dawning. “So it was Gracie’s all along p>
She had been mistaken from the start.
In that other life, Theo had only obtained the nerve regeneration project after marrying Gracie, and he had taken full credit for her genius.
Kevin leaned back with a tired sigh. “Brayden, they’ve caused enough chaos. Send them home p>
Brayden pulled out his phone. Moments later, Clive entered with a team of security guards who escorted Theo and Ellie out of the hall without resistance.
Once Gracie concluded her presentation, Phoebe rushed to her side and guided her backstage.
A sudden cough wracked her frame, and the blood she’d been swallowing back spilled past her lips.
The medical team, already on standby, hurried forward and lifted her onto a stretcher.
Gracie grasped Phoebe’s trembling hand tightly. “The event’s nearly over—make sure everything finishes without a hitch. Keep watch until the very end p>
Phoebe nodded quickly, her voice unsteady. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. Nothing will go wrong p>
Gracie’s expression softened. “If anything happens, go to Brayden. He’ll know what to do p>
Jeffrey stepped forward, his tone steady. “I’ll accompany her to the hospital. She will be fine p>
He followed the medical staff as they wheeled Gracie away toward the waiting ambulance.
The second half of the launch proceeded seamlessly and soon dominated the headlines across the web.
Industry specialists answered live questions, emphasizing just how revolutionary the nerve regeneration technology truly was.
