Chapter 346
Elara’s tone was firm. “You must be regretting burning bridges with me so soon.”
“Elara! You tampered with the data you gave me!” Priscilla’s voice turned icy, her gaze sharp and intimidating. A chilling aura radiated from her, but Elara, who was sitting beside her, didn’t even glance her way. Instead, she scoffed. “Why would I tamper with anything? The fact of the matter is your team isn’t skilled enough. “Ms. Price, you burned the bridge, and now you’ve lost 100 million dollars, haven’t you?”
Priscilla crossed her arms. Her meticulously manicured nails were painted a soft, elegant pink. She frowned slightly upon hearing Elara’s words.
Had Elara already calculated that without her, Price Nation’s Quantum Tech would lose over 100 million dollars? And she even knew that when Quantum Tech suffered such a loss, Priscilla would come looking for her.
The thought sent a shiver down Priscilla’s spine. She then felt a pang of unease when she recalled how Elara hadn’t shown any surprise when she appeared earlier.
She turned to re–evaluate the woman sitting beside her.
With a smile, she continued, “Ms. Jones, I’ve realized you’re actually an excellent partner. I misjudged you before.
“I thought a woman trapped in a marriage for seven years, no matter how academically brilliant, couldn’t be that capable.
“Good grades don’t mean much. I’ve seen too many geniuses who are strong in theory but useless in practice. You’ve truly given me a big surprise!”
Priscilla’s eyes sparkled with the urge to bring Elara back under her control.
“Ms. Jones, let’s continue working together. I’m truly sorry for what happened before. Now, I genuinely want to collaborate with you.
“Besides our partnership, I can help you in many ways. For example…”
Priscilla glanced ahead. Rosalie, whose face was still swollen from the slap, had disappeared somewhere. Her gaze then fell on Paisley, who was performing ballet on stage.
She smirked. “If you work with me, I can make your daughter the lead dancer!”
“No need,” Elara refused firmly. “An innocent child shouldn’t suffer from adults‘ conflicts.”
“Even so, I am willing to continue working with you,” Elara said, her eyes smiling as she turned her head to meet Priscilla’s gaze.
“I have three conditions. First, every employee under Quantum Tech must be under my control. I want absolute decision–making power in the company.”
Priscilla agreed without hesitation. “Fine.”
“Second, all profits from this project, along with any patents generated in the future, will belong exclusively to The.”
Priscilla thought she had misheard. “What did you say? How much of the profits do you want?”
Elara’s smile deepened. “100%. Oh, and the third condition Price Nation’s financial support for Quantum Tech must reach two billion in the first quarter.”

Priscilla immediately shot up from her seat. She leaned one hand on the back of the chair, her fingers digging into the soft sponge cushion, leaving irregular dents.
She looked down at Elara with a cold, glass–like sharpness in her dark eyes, her gaze icy and piercing. Elara sat before her, lifting her face with a gentle, warm smile, like a flower blooming by the roadside.
