They Cut My Card, So I Joined the National Program Chapter 10
In the end the board took over the Greene business.My father was suspended pending investigation.The handful of deals he had signed over the years had all been propped up by the Morgan connection.Once the Morgans pulled out and the bank pulled back, the holes under the polished Greene surface showed fast.The penthouse meant for Isadora's dowry was mortgaged.Isadora made scenes at home."That's my apartment! You said it was mine!"My father sat on the sofa, his voice worn out."Your name was never on the deed."Isadora froze.It was probably the first time she understood that being the favorite could also be taken back.Jasper's Porsche was sold too, and he clutched the key in both hands and wouldn't let go."Dad gave this to me."My father gave him one look."Aren't you the one who knows investing? This is what a failed investment costs."Jasper's eyes went frighteningly red."That's not what you used to say."My mother covered her mouth and cried.But crying did no good.This tim

On the day of my first stage review, my palms were soaked.The room was small.Everyone handed in their phones at the door, the documents were distributed by number, and even the water glasses had names taped to them.I stood in front of the screen and presented the recovery plan for the L-17 coating.When I reached the substitute route for the destroyed samples, my voice caught for a beat.Professor Harrison sat in the front row and nodded at me.I steadied my breathing and kept going.When the last page of data came up, the room was silent for two seconds.Director Sloane, who ran the program, looked up."Thirteen percent better than the original approach?"I nodded."Yes. I redesigned the sintering curve and adjusted the ratio of the interface layer."He finished the test report and set his pen down."Ophelia, L-17 goes onto the shortlist for the core track."The applause started.I stood where I was, my eyes stinging, and I knew exactly why.It wasn't because I felt wronged.It was

My father's business meeting was Monday morning.It was supposed to be a strategic renewal meeting between the Greenes and several suppliers.Now the room held board members, a bank representative, and legal counsel.My father sat at the head of the table, his face whiter than the paper in front of him.The chairman's assistant put a document up on the screen."We need you to explain, here and now, the Greene family's unauthorized use of research data."My father forced himself to stay composed."That is my daughter's project. There was a communication breakdown inside the family and outsiders misunderstood."The legal counsel pushed his glasses up."Did Ophelia herself authorize it?"My father said nothing.The bank representative spoke next."If restricted pre-review data was displayed without authorization, the compliance risk affects your credit line."My father explained quickly."Nothing was commercialized. It was a concept presentation at an engagement party."The screen changed

Jasper went live three days later.He sat in the Porsche with the camera aimed at his own drawn face."Hey everybody, this thing with my sister has blown up. I wasn't going to talk about it."The comments started out full of sympathy.Jasper looks awful.So she does research and now she disowns her own family?They spent all that money on her and she turns on them?Jasper sighed."My sister always got good grades, and she always had a temper.""Now she's had a little success and she won't acknowledge her own family."His eyes reddened slightly."I just want her to come home for one meal. I don't want our parents hurting."The stream passed a hundred thousand viewers fast.Jasper watched the numbers climb and nearly lost control of the corners of his mouth.But the very next second, the comments turned.Drop the act, the basement recording is out.You're the one who pulled the plug on the incubator?Heard six figures in tips counts as investing in connections?A video was being shared e

The engagement party went ahead on schedule, the hotel ballroom carpeted in flowers.Isadora's teaser video looped across the big screen.She wore a white gown and stood in front of a laboratory backdrop, her voice soft."A woman today needs more than beauty. She needs a mind."The video cut to a technical slide deck.The title read: Greene Family Joint Development Program for a New Shielding Coating.Project representative: Isadora Greene.Someone in the audience applauded.My mother's palms were sweating with nerves, but she held her smile up."Isadora looks so beautiful today."Isadora took the microphone on stage.She had spent two days memorizing the script, and the first half went smoothly enough."This project came out of my long interest in where technology meets daily life..."Before she finished, a middle-aged man in glasses in the front row raised his hand.He was a senior specialist the Morgans had brought in to review the materials science."Miss Greene, could you tell us

On the first morning after I left, nobody in the Greene house got breakfast.Jasper waited at the table for ten minutes, his face getting worse by the minute."Mom, where's my protein plate?"My mother came down with her hair still undone."Doesn't the housekeeper come at nine?"Jasper shoved his glass away."Then who made it before?"The question left the dining room silent for a beat.Before, it was me, of course.I seared his chicken breast before his workouts, weighed out his oats, even brought his water to the temperature he liked best.Isadora came down in her robe and frowned at the gown on the sofa."Why isn't this ironed yet? I'm filming the engagement teaser this afternoon."My mother called out without thinking."Ophelia."No one in the house answered.My father came out of the study with his tie crooked."Where are my meeting papers?"Still no one answered.The house used to run like a program somebody had written.When they woke up, the food was hot, the clothes were press
