Her Husband Abandoned Her on Her Deathbed, So She Froze His Entire Company While Recovering from Triplets' Birth
Cornered and increasingly desperate, Tyler Finch made his final, most reckless move. With his public smear campaign backfiring and his financial crimes exposed, he saw his empire crumbling around him. In a last-ditch effort to salvage something, anything, he decided to attack Aetheria’s most valuable asset: its core intellectual property.
A concerned employee, a junior legal assistant who had witnessed Tyler’s erratic behavior firsthand, secretly tipped off Marcus Holloway. The assistant revealed Tyler was attempting to secretly sell off a critical patent for Aetheria’s groundbreaking AI interface. This was a patent legally belonging solely to Lena, explicitly protected by a specific clause in their pre-nuptial agreement.
Marcus received the call late one evening. The voice on the other end was trembling, terrified of Tyler’s wrath but more terrified of the company’s collapse.
“Mr. Holloway,” the assistant whispered, “Mr. Finch is trying to push through a sale. To a shell company. For the ‘Aetheria Prime’ patent. He’s saying it’s his right as a founder, but… it’s Dr. Jensen’s, isn’t it?”
Marcus’s heart hammered against his ribs. The ‘Aetheria Prime’ patent was Lena’s masterpiece, the foundational technology upon which the entire company was built. Its loss would be catastrophic, a mortal blow to Aetheria Systems. It would effectively cripple the company, devaluing its future and Lena’s legacy into nothing.
He immediately understood the specific cruelty of Tyler’s attempt. This wasn’t just about financial gain. It was about destroying Lena’s life’s work, erasing her contribution, taking away the very thing that defined her professional identity, all in a final, vindictive act.
