The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 158
The weight lifted, exhaustion hit Adriana like a tidal wave.Adriana collapsed into bed as soon as she got home and slept like a stone. When the phone finally rang, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.Groggy, she answered, and Bella's cheerful voice came through."Adriana, darling! Are you free tonight for dinner? I want you to meet my new boyfriend, Mr. Smile.""Yes, yes, of course!"She scrambled upright, realizing she hadn't had time to deal with this in her recent busy schedule. Bella's "Mr. Smile" wasn't just another boyfriend—he was her fiancé. She had to meet him."What's Mr. Smile's surname?""Louis. He likes to smile.""Send me the address. See you there."Hanging up, Adriana got up and prepared herself.They were meeting at an upscale restaurant. Bella and her fiance were already there. Adriana followed the hostess into the private room, straightening her posture and greeting them with poise, a contrast to her usual casual self when with Bella."Mr. Louis, hello.

The data on the shared drive had been uploaded by Adriana herself before "Optivex" went into production."Oliver, I'm going home first."Her legs felt like lead as she trudged toward the door. Before facing the next storm, she needed to sleep."I'll see you home."Oliver locked the door and caught up with her in a few strides."Don't get too anxious. It's not the end of the world.""Thank you."Adriana's mind was a fog. She was drained of thought, exhausted from day-and-night work, desperate only to prove herself. Yet the results showed that even in her area of expertise, she wasn't infallible.She didn't remember how she made it to bed. Despite her fatigue, her mind remained alarmingly clear. Strings of numbers flashed through her thoughts. She bolted upright, rushed to the living room, and opened her laptop.Before uploading to the shared drive, she had made a private backup. If Joan—or anyone with a vendetta—wanted to sabotage her career using this project, they could have

The Este estate was quiet. Francesco sat on the sofa, holding a finely carved wooden figurine of a woman. Like his other works, it had no facial features.On the TV, Slater Group's news played. The story centered on disabled users who had been affected, sparking a storm of public outrage."According to a female manager at Slater Group, the technical team leader for this project at Sanctity Group is an inexperienced young woman. Rumor has it that she had an improper relationship with the company's owner."Another executive revealed that this woman is the wife of the Slater Group's CEO.""These claims cannot be verified at this time. What is certain is that the project's handover raises many questions…"Francesco's expression darkened. He reached for the remote and shut off the TV."Sir!" Mars strode in, carrying a box."A USB drive. Odysseus dug it up from the soil.""What USB drive?" Francesco asked. He opened the box. Inside lay the USB he had asked Bianca to give Adriana on N

Adriana didn't say much, only offered a polite, "Thank you, Chris."Chris had already prepared everything: the lab had brand-new products for emergency recall and several faulty samples bought back at high prices from customers.Oliver called everyone to get to work. The moment Chris left, the Slater Group employees grew restless."The technical team you sent is useless. Why should we suffer alongside them?""Exactly. Go check it yourselves. We're already exhausted from the last few weeks."They slumped into the break area, chatting over tea, acting as if the whole matter had nothing to do with them. Only Dean's two loyal assistants were eager to find the problem and were highly motivated.Adriana stopped the fuming Oliver, her voice cold as she addressed the slackers. "You can refuse to cooperate. But if the problem turns out not to be in the R&D stage, you'll all get fired from the Slater Group.""Why should we?" one of them sneered."Because I'm a nepo baby," Adriana replied

Oliver agreed to let Adriana participate in the investigation, but during the morning shareholders' meeting, several major investors criticized Neo for favoritism, demanded Adriana be fired, and called for her to be held accountable.Neo did not respond immediately. Instead, he summoned Adriana and asked her what she wanted to do."Adriana, no matter which part of the process went wrong, if you want to stay at Sanctity, I can protect you," he said."Please don't hide me away. Let me participate in the investigation. If the issue lies in the R&D stage, I'll willingly leave Sanctity," Adriana replied, her eyes clear and resolute. She had already accepted the situation—her focus now was finding the problem."Adriana, with me here, you don't have to do this," Neo said gently. Adriana's stubbornness reminded him of her mom.But being part of the investigation meant confronting questions and criticism head-on. The pressure from outside could crush even the strongest resolve."When you

Bella's entrepreneurial focus was on the pet care industry. She had loved animals since childhood, and with her family's support, that passion had naturally grown into a career.Adriana nodded with a smile. "Technically, it might be a bit challenging, but the principles are the same. It should work.""That's great! Once my business stabilizes, I'll talk to Sanctity about a collaboration—and I'm specifically requesting you to lead this project.""I can work for you for free."Over the years, Bella had always been by her side. When her parents passed, when Grandma Rosie passed, and even after her breakup with Francesco, Bella had never left her.Adriana loved her Bella deeply—the cheerful, steadfast, occasionally clumsy little Bella who made life lighter.Bella squeezed her thigh playfully. "Don't worry, I'll definitely take advantage of you for this."They shared a laugh, a quiet moment of connection. In that instant, the city where they were born and raised felt like home in a w

Seeing the wicked glint at the corner of Francesco's eyes, a sense of foreboding rose in Adriana's chest.She lifted the binoculars. The moment the cross-river bridge came into view, she saw a figure climb over the unguarded end of the bridge and plunge into the river below.Even from a distance,

Those high heels were Adriana's favorite brand—comfortable, reliable.There couldn't possibly be such a coincidence!"Francesco, something's wrong."Bella's trembling voice came through the phone.The next second, Francesco snapped a leash onto the German shepherd and dashed to the car.…"Jus

Alex skimmed through the two articles in the newspaper, then crumpled it into a ball and tossed it into the trash.If Chris saw the second article, he would only get angry all over again."And this Francesco… his remarks are completely inappropriate.""Achoo!"Francesco, lounging against the edg
