?Chapter 438:


    “She’s only just joined us. Who knows if she’s up to the task? I haven’t seen her do anything noteworthy yet!”


    “Me neither. With Mr. Spencer’s absence, why should she even bother showcasing her skills? If she stumbles, we’ll all be in trouble…”


    “Exactly! Handing over such a pivotal task to a neer is a gamble we can’t afford.”


    “And if it goes south, who bears the brunt of that? Can she shoulder that responsibility?”


    Theirments grew more outrageous with each passing moment.


    Charlette’s expression hardened as she absorbed their words. “If youck faith in her abilities, why not take the reins yourselves?”


    The room fell into a hush. Naturally, they didn’t possess the skills tond a malfunctioninguncher.


    “Ms. Patel, you’re at the helm of the research department. This is your domain. How can you expect us to step in?”


    Charlette’s icy re zeroed in on the speaker. “If you can’t handle it, then keep your opinions to yourself.”


    The speaker’s face drained of color, indignation flickering in his eyes, but he wisely chose to retreat into silence.


    Charlette checked the clock, anxiety flickering in her gut. Only eight minutes remained on the clock. She leaned closer to Elena and asked, “Miss Harper, you—”


    You mentioned that there’s a bug in the program. Can it be fixed right now?”


    Elena nodded confidently. “Absolutely.”


    Charlette rose, offering her seat to Elena with seamless grace. “Then this is your time to shine.”


    Charlette’s demeanor radiated assurance, devoid of any hint of doubt.


    While others cast shadows of skepticism on Elena’s abilities, Charlette stood firm in her belief. A woman who had caught Wesley’s attention was certainly no ordinary talent. Wesley wouldn’t gamble with Edgewing’s future.


    Charlette positioned herself behind Elena.


    Elena settled into the chair, her gaze fixed on the colossal screen filled with lines of running code.
