Chapter 346
“Maggie understands engines and chips? That’s impossible!
Even now, Logan still refused to believe that the paper which caused such a stir in academic circles was actually written by Maggie.
And now Janice was telling him that Maggie was not only brilliant in theory but also had deep expertise in engines and chips?
How could that be possible?
Janice lowered her eyes.
Whether it was possible or not–just look online.
Moments later, after watching the segment of the Jamison Group launch featuring Maggie’s presentation, Janice felt her heart slowly sink.
But Logan remained in disbelief.
Just the an angry voice crackled through the phone. It was Sophia.
“She did this on purpose! It wasn’t enough to sabotage Uncle’s company’s traffic project–now she’s targeting my sister’s company!”
That much, both Logan and Janice could see clearly.
Whether or not the technical advancements showcased at the launch truly came from Maggie, one thing was certain: Jamison Group’s press conference had delivered a real and immediate blow to Wilson Tech.
Before they could respond, Sophia’s worried voice came again: “What do we do now? Everyone’s saying Jamison Group is going to take over most of the autonomous vehicle market. Sis’s company doesn’t stand a chance anymore!”
Sure, Jamison Group might look unstoppable right now. But
Janice unclenched her hand and spoke with her usual cool composure:
“The tech world evolves by the day. If not your company today, then mine tomorrow. Autonomous vehicles haven’t even entered the global market on a large scale yet. It’s too soon to say who’ll have the upper hand when they finally do.”
Her words weren’t wrong.
But Logan knew from personal experience how hard it was to gain a competitive edge in tech. His own company

had struggled for years to achieve any real technological breakthroughs.
If breaking through were that easy, there would be no tech gants–everyone would be one.
Real innovation was about seizing the lead early.
What made this worse was that Jamison Group hadn’t just made a breakthrough on one front–they’d achieved multiple technological leaps. And their results weren’t just domestic–they were world–class.
Other companies would either look up to them or desperately try to catch up. That could take one to two years… or ten to twenty.
And by the time they did catch up, the market would’ve moved on–there would be no place left for them.
Logan was deeply unsettled. He asked, “I wonder what Franklin makes of all this.”
He clearly meant: Maybe we should talk to our daughter.
But Janice calmly replied, “They’re still busy with work. Whatever it is, we can talk after Julia finishes up.”
Logan: “Alright.”
There wasn’t much else they could do.
That evening, after dinner with Mr. Zack and the others, Julia and Franklin returned home.
Even though her family hadn’t contacted her during the meal, Julia knew they and were waiting to confront her.
must have seen the press conference
Sure enough, when she arrived home, her parents and Sophia were all gathered.
Before any of them could speak, Julia took the lead. “So, you all know now?”
“Mm.” Janice replied, then asked, “What did Franklin say?”
Julia sat down and shook her head. “Nothing.”
Janice paused mid–sip. “What do you mean?”
Julia said calmly, “About the Jamison Group press conference, he didn’t say a word.”
Not about Maggie.
Not about the Jamison Group.
Not about the future.

Nothing.
Janice froze again.
Logan and Sophia were both stunned.
That… didn’t sound like Franklin at all.
The launch had caused an unshockwave–one that posed a serious threat to Wilson Tech.
Under normal circumstances, Franklin would’ve comforted Julia, told her not to panic, and then walked her through the implications–both technical and commercial–of what Jamison Group had just achieved. He would’ve helped strategize how to respond.
But this time?
He said absolutely nothing.
