Chapter 105 Unbelievable
Olivia watched Sophia's bluster with a genuine laugh.
She hadn't planned to say much.
But now, since someone was practically begging to be put in their place, how could she not take the opportunity?
Olivia's beautiful eyes glinted with a hint of mockery as she spoke coolly, "You're right, some things can't be learned just by watching.
I've been working on this system for three years, pouring endless effort into its development to reach where we are today.
Now, our product is unbeatable in the market, and you still haven't caught up?"
Sophia's face froze.
She wondered if she had misheard. "What… did you say?"
Her voice rose in disbelief, "Did you just say this company is yours?"
Olivia didn't answer, but Daniel, standing beside her, spoke up nonchalantly, "Isn't it obvious by now? What's the big shock?"
Sophia's face turned ashen.
This couldn't be true.
It was absolutely impossible!
How could Nexora Tech's system have been developed by Olivia?
Seeing Sophia's twisted expression, Olivia felt a sense of satisfaction.
She hadn't forgotten the scene when Sophia had smugly kicked her out of the Johnson Group.
Deliberately, she said, "So, the Johnson Group was interested in this system? Why didn't you say something earlier? Maybe I could have licensed it to you.
After all, the Johnson Group was where I used to work, and Michael is still technically my husband.
Helping him out wouldn't be too unreasonable, right?"
Sophia couldn't miss the sarcasm in her words.
Back then, Michael had chosen her without hesitation, abandoning Olivia.
And now, Olivia was using her achievements to strike back at them.
And it was working.
Michael was beginning to doubt her abilities.
But how could she lose to Olivia?
Olivia was just a useless nobody!
Sophia couldn't accept this reality, and her voice turned shrill, "Olivia, stop pretending! For years at the Johnson Group, you accomplished nothing. There's no way you could have done this. If you had such skills, you would have shown them long ago, not hidden them until now!
It must be Daniel's team, using your name!
Don't think this makes you better than me. My performance at the Johnson Group is something you could never match."
"You mean the performance of getting orders canceled?" Olivia replied with a smile, "That, I certainly can't match! As for my abilities, Michael should have told you that I pitched the idea for 'Project M One' years ago.
He just didn't see its value back then. Now, three years later, it's clear his judgment was poor.
In both people and projects!"
Daniel chimed in, "Sorry, I did try to find a team to help her, but they were all useless!
Instead, everyone we hired treated her like an idol! I just sat back and enjoyed the profits. This kind of joy, you and Michael wouldn't understand, would you?"
Sophia was left speechless, her face contorted with anger.
That morning, the presentation was a huge success.
The media covered it extensively.
At the Johnson Group, Robert was quick to report, "Mr. Johnson, Nexora Tech's main stakeholders are Ms. Smith and Daniel. They also revealed the system's name, 'Project M One,' which stands for 'miracle'!"
Olivia had always aimed to create miracles, whether in system development or medical research.
Michael's memory started to return.
Years ago, Olivia had indeed mentioned the word "miracle" in her proposal.
But he had completely dismissed it, not even bothering to remember.
Or rather, he had thought it unworthy of remembering!
Now, recalling it only brought him a sense of threat.
Michael's face darkened with anger.
Previously, the Johnson Group's medical equipment division had been stagnant, valued at only a few billion dollars.
Nexora Tech had quickly caught up.
That system could have been used at the Johnson Group, but Olivia hadn't allowed it!
Had she been planning this all along, pretending to be incompetent while she waited to make her move?
Michael's mood worsened, his anger rising.
He called Sophia, asking, "What did you think of the product showcase?"
Sophia was on her way back to the office, still shaken.
Receiving Michael's call at this moment, she guessed he had seen the news and was asking about it.
If she didn't answer well, she feared he would be even more displeased.
Sophia quickly said, "I just found out that Olivia developed the system. Michael, Olivia is too much. She used the Johnson Group's resources to create this amazing system, but kept it hidden.
As your wife, she plotted against us, only to leave and then team up with someone else to overshadow us."
Michael cut her off coldly, "Enough. I don't want to hear this. What you need to focus on now is developing a system of the same caliber!
The Johnson Group's business is already severely affected, and if this continues, we'll collapse completely!"
Sophia's heart sank.
She had just arrived at the office and decided to go to Michael's office after hearing his reprimand.
Seeing Michael, she said pitifully, "Michael, I'll lead the team to develop a new system as soon as possible. Please don't be angry, okay? This is my fault, I know… I didn't do well enough!
I didn't want our product to be outdone, but I will do everything I can to make it right. Trust me, okay? I won't lose!"
Her eyes reddened as she held Michael's hand.
Her pitiful look softened Michael's hardened heart.
His expression turned gentle, "It's not your fault. It's Olivia's scheming. Don't cry!"
Sophia was delighted and took the opportunity to say, "Then come home with me tonight, okay? Let's have dinner together. Aiden has been asking for you! I don't want to see you angry with me."
Michael hesitated, then apologized, "You're right. I'll come home tonight."
Sophia immediately brightened up.
At Golden Sands Bay, Andrew had just finished his workout when he saw David staring at a tablet in shock.
He heard Olivia's name mentioned.
"What are you looking at?" Andrew walked to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water, and asked casually.
David looked up as Andrew twisted the cap open and took a drink.
Sweat trickled down his perfect face, his throat moving with each gulp, the intense post-workout aura blending with a wild, rugged appeal.
He walked over and said, "I'm watching Dr. Garcia! I can't believe it, but the Nexora Tech that's been making waves in Emerald City is hers! Even 'Project M One,' which has been getting a lot of attention in Harmony City, was developed by her."
