Chapter 440:


    Two minutes left… One minute…


    As the final seconds ticked away, the tension in the room became suffocating.


    “Shit! Fifty seconds left until impact!”


    “I told you—letting a novice rewrite the flight program is utter madness!”


    “Only thirty seconds left! Oh God, I can’t watch!”


    Twenty seconds… Ten seconds…


    Violently, Charlotte’s heart hammered against her ribs. She fixated on the screen, not daring to breathe, afraid the slightest sound might break Elena’s concentration.


    In the final five seconds, Elena struck the final enter key.


    The new code executed. On the adjacent monitor, the live feed of theuncher updated in real time.


    Previously plummeting at an uncontroble speed, theuncher suddenly jerked, dramatically shifting course at an impossible ny-degree angle before soaring back into its proper trajectory.


    A deathly silence. Three… Two… One…


    Suddenly, everyone snapped out of their collective daze.


    “Holy shit! It actually stopped falling!”


    “Did I just see things? Did she really rewrite an entire flight program in just eight minutes? What kind of prodigy is this?”


    “Wait—she is a real technical consultant? I thought—”


    Abruptly, Kaya shot up from her seat, eyes widening with undisguised disbelief.


    Impossible. Elena had actually reversed theuncher’s deadly descent!


    Bewildered, Kaya stared at Elena as if seeing her for the first time.


    Throughout it all, Elena remainedposed, her expression remarkably unbothered.


    Impulsively, Charlotte practically threw herself at Elena, clutching her as if they had just survived a life-threatening disaster. “Oh my God, thank you! I can finally give Mr. Spencer a report that won’t get me fired!”


    Undeniably, to say Charlotte hadn’t been nervous would have been a lie. Even now, her palms remained damp with sweat, her heartbeat wildly erratic. She had bet everything on Elena. And she had been right.

    Ufortable with such closeness, Elena gently pushed Charlotte away. Charlotte smiled broadly,pletely unbothered by the rejection, her eyes gleaming with admiration and excitement.


    While everyone remained caught in their shock and exhration, Cathy rose deliberately to her feet. “Time’s up. Get out of Edgewing now.”


    Elena met Cathy’s hostile gaze directly, a dangerous glint of defiance in her eyes. “I won’t leave,” she stated calmly. “Why don’t you show yourself out?”


    Cathy was initially taken aback, but as the weight of Elena’s words sank in, her anger ignited like a match to dry grass. “Who do you think you are, speaking to me like that? I’ve encountered countless women like you, all hoping to worm their way into Wesley’s life. In the past, those women would steer clear of me like I was a walking gue. Do you know why?”


    Cathy, her nails impably manicured, cast a look of haughty disdain toward Elena. “Because I detest those who covet what rightfully belongs to mine! If I catch anyone trying to lure Wesley away, I’ll make sure she regrets ever crossing my path!”
