The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 339

Reese didn’t even glance at them. She just typed a string of commands into the input box, hit enter, then looked up at Matthew. “All done on my end. Now it’s your turn.”

Matthew arched a brow, his gaze drifting over to Bailey and the others, who looked like they’d been frozen in place. He wandered over to the computer, casual as ever.

“Wait, hold on!”

Bailey finally snapped out of it, pointing a trembling finger at the screen before turning to Reese. “How do you even have the authority to destroy Blade’s data?”

Wasn’t that access supposed to be for the project’s technical lead only?

Reese tilted her head, acting genuinely puzzled. “I am the other technical lead on Blade. Didn’t Matthew mention that to you?”

Matthew just shrugged, looking innocent. “I told him, but Mr. Meyer didn’t believe me. Not much I could do.”

He hovered his fingers over the keyboard, ready to type in his own authorization code. “Since the partnership’s over, we might as well get the data destruction over with.”

“No, please, don’t!”

Bailey lunged forward and slapped his hand over Matthew’s, sweat beading on his forehead and running down his face. “Reese, look, I didn’t give you enough credit, and I haven’t really paid attention to you.

“I honestly had no idea you’d made such big strides in AI—that you’d become a technical lead on Blade.”

He turned toward Reese, his anger gone, replaced by a forced, almost desperate smile. “You spotted the problem, so I know you can fix it. Why don’t you help your dad out and get Blade running properly for the platform?”

Reese’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “Mr. Meyer, stop acting like we’re close. If even Sofia, your star pupil, couldn’t solve this, there’s no way I can.”

“That was… I mean, earlier, I just—”

Hank was stunned, not expecting Reese to turn the situation to her advantage. His frustration and humiliation quickly boiled over into anger. “Reese, don’t go too far.

“Do you even understand how important Blade’s commercial rights are to Vista Tech? The shares from your mother are always yours. You can have them anytime. Do you really have to make this demand right now?

“So if we don’t hand them over, you’d just watch Meyer Group go under?”

“Meyer Group going bankrupt?” Reese tilted her head, pretending to think it over, then smiled. “Honestly? That doesn’t sound too bad.

“I’m only asking for the shares so Sofia and Grace don’t get them. If the Meyer family does go bankrupt and they walk away with nothing, I’d actually find that pretty satisfying.”

Hank was completely floored, staring at Reese in disbelief. He had always thought she wanted the shares to honor her mother’s legacy. He never imagined she didn’t care at all about the company’s fate.
