Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 893

"Don't mention it," Moran replied stiffly.

Axiom Flux came out swinging. They clearly had a mountain of evidence, and everyone—from the Hawkins and Spencer families to Moran and Granger—knew this was going to be an uphill battle.

As the trial progressed, the color drained from the faces of the Hawkins and Spencer families. Even Moran and Granger frowned deeply.

Axiom Flux's evidence was airtight: contracts, bank transfers, chat logs, and comprehensive forensic appraisals. At first, everyone assumed their demand for 2.5 billion was an astronomical bluff.

In reality, Axiom Flux had been growing steadily over the past two years. Combined with their partnership with PrimeStar Technologies over the last year, their market competitiveness had skyrocketed.

The patented technology in question was a core component of a multi-billion-dollar project. Asking for 2.5 billion... wasn't actually an exaggeration.

As the proceedings dragged on, it became painfully clear to Vesta, Moran, and Granger that Axiom Flux had come fully prepared before filing the lawsuit.

With such overwhelming evidence, the final verdict wouldn't be handed down immediately, but the Hawkins and Spencer families had practically seen the writing on the wall.

When the session ended, the two families looked ashen as they left the courthouse. Moran and Granger observed them quietly before Moran finally spoke. "It's getting late. I've booked a restaurant. Let's grab something to eat."

Vesta looked terrible, but she desperately tried to maintain her composure. "Thank you. I appreciate it."

The moment she finished speaking, her phone rang.

It was Mr. Palmer, the man she had been in contact with a few days ago.

"About our partnership... I think we need to put it on hold," Mr. Palmer said.

Vesta understood immediately. They had caught wind of the trial and realized the lawsuit was a lost cause. To pay off the massive damages to Axiom Flux, both Hawkins Technology and Neural Nexus Tech would likely be auctioned off. Because of this, the deals they had just negotiated were falling through once again.

When it rains, it pours.

Shortly after she hung up, more calls flooded in, all stating their intentions to suspend cooperation.

Henley looked at her. "Vesta, what's wrong?"
