Because it was Sunday, no one came to wake Lola up.

By the time she opened her eyes, Brandon had already gone to the company, and Shelby had gone along with him.
Tully had returned from her day off and spent the whole day playing with Lola.
In the evening, Shelby came back to Rose Villa to pack her things.
She planned to stay at the company with Brandon for the next few days.
Even though she only stayed at Rose Villa for ten minutes, she still didn’t forget to speak ill of Matilda in front of Lola.
She said, “We aren’t ignoring you on purpose. It’s because Matilda is going against Crossen Technology, so we have to find ways to fight back. Otherwise, we’ll be the ones to get beaten.”
After saying that, Shelby drove away.
Lola looked at the empty Rose Villa and felt hatred toward Matilda.
She hated that Matilda had to go against her father and the company, even after leaving home.
However, she missed Matilda a little.
Before, when Matilda worked at the company, she would come home to play games with her whenever she wasn’t busy.
When she was busy, Matilda would stay at the company and have her father come home on time to have dinner and watch movies with her and Shelby.
Now that Matilda was no longer at the company, her father was busy, Shelby was busy, and there was no one left to spend time with her…
At eight o’clock in the evening, Allen picked up Jolene from the farm and brought her back to Maple Heights.
He walked to Building 3, stood for a while, and looked up at Matilda’s house.
Not a single light was on, she must be working overtime again.
Jolene saw everything.
Only after returning home did she ask, “Dad, do you like Mom?”
Allen helped Jolene get her slippers, avoiding the question. “Isn’t it natural for Dad to like Mom?”
The clever little Jolene changed her address and asked again, “Dad, do you love Matilda?”
Allen looked at his daughter in disbelief. “Do you know what love is?”
Jolene replied, “Grandma said it. Love is when you care, when you feel heartache, when you miss someone… when you’re afraid she’ll go hungry, or afraid she’ll be lonely. I’ve seen all of that in the way you treat Matilda.”
Allen couldn’t argue and squeezed his daughter’s face hard. “You’re so smart.”
Jolene said. “Daddy, I love Matilda too. There’s nothing shameful about loving her. Why don’t you tell her?”

It was not shameful but immoral. She was not divorced yet. And besides, she didn’t love him. Allen didn’t know how to explain such things to a child.
Allen squatted down to Jolene’s eye level.
He said. “Jolene, promise me that you’ll let me find a chance to tell her in person, okay? You can’t reveal it.”
She replied. “Got it, Daddy.”
Jolene grinned, slipped on her slippers, went to the terrace to collect her dry clothes, and then off to her own bathroom to shower.
Allen looked at his daughter with a gentle, fatherly smile.
Initially, he hadn’t considered letting Jolene call him Dad. He even thought about giving Jolene away.
But one day, Jolene suddenly stood up, holding onto the railing, and called him Dad with a smile.
He couldn’t bring himself to cruelly tell her, “I’m not your dad.”
After responding to the first “Dad,” he would have to be Jolene’s dad for life.
He thought Matilda would support him if she knew.
Matilda and Neil didn’t leave the production line until midnight.
From Monday to Wednesday, they had another tough battle to fight.
Back at home, she rinsed off quickly and went straight to sleep.
On Monday, she still got up at five o’clock.
She packed a few clothes and prepared to stay at the company.
Before leaving, she went to the top floor and put the sun hat she bought for Jolene at Everbright Mall at the door.
The same production-line office. The same group of ten people in Group B. The same Singularity Technology.
She and Neil repeatedly argued until midnight yesterday,
They wanted to expand Singularity Technology into Version 2 and Version 3, forming a complete Al system.
In the future, the AI system wouldn’t only be able to make chips, but also be applied to all kinds of intelligent systems.
But for now, her focus was still the chip. She would use Singularity Technology to build the first layer of the chip.
With its mastery of hardware description languages and software optimization rules, given three days, she could generate intelligent agents, adapt them to software, then combine them.
This time, only Matilda and Neil knew the core technology.
She would seal the circuit diagrams, hand them to someone who would pass them along to Jemma and the others, who would be responsible for verification and performance feedback.

At eleven o’clock Monday night, Crossen Technology’s R&D center was also brightly lit. Everyone was rushing around at a
fast pace.
After Matilda left the R&D center, Brandon brought in several doctors.
Additionally, a well-known industry leader oversees the overall situation.
However, Matilda initiated the design of X3, and the industry leader found her logic difficult to grasp, making the work more challenging.
As for the others, Matilda personally mentored them in a hands-on, nanny-like fashion.
If one told them what to do, they would do it beautifully.
But if one asked them how to do it, it was like forcing them into a corner.
Brandon’s expertise was in intelligent systems.
He understood chips too, but that was because he had learned from Matilda. He could follow, but he wasn’t proficient.
Brandon had to admit that Matilda was a heaven-blessed genius in this field.
Her mother had been a high school physics teacher who had her finish high school-level physics back in elementary school.
Later on, Matilda had worked hard on her own, winning competitions left and right.
Even his father, Daniel, hadn’t agreed to let him marry Matilda just because he had run away from home.
Part of the reason was that Matilda could bring benefits to Crossen Technology. His father only recognized profit.
When Brandon heard Jolene call out “Mr. Daniel Grimes,” he quickly stood up and left the main seat on the sofa for his
father to sit.
Daniel didn’t sleep in the middle of the night, not to inspect the work, but to criticize Brandon.
He said, “You’re soft-hearted and can’t even deal with a woman. Crossen Technology will be ruined in your hands sooner or later. She hasn’t cooperated with Wisdom Tech. You didn’t know?”
Brandon knew about this and was also wondering what trick Matilda was up to.
But when it came to technical matters-not just him, no one could guess,
Daniel had originally thought Matilda was just a somewhat talented PhD student, nothing special. There were plenty of heiresses more outstanding than her.
Unexpectedly, in just one month, before he could choose a new daughter-in-law, Matilda led a team to develop singularity technology, catching Crossen Technology off guard.
Daniel said, “Your skills can’t match hers, and now even your methods are losing to her? Why don’t you use the House of Heart and the packaging plant in Domburgh?”
Brandon’s eyes widened slightly, and in the next second, he understood exactly what his father meant.
