Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1198

Eleanor finally smiled. "Alright, then make the medicine. I need to stick around to see my Mira become the queen of the global business world."

"You won't have to wait long for that, Grandma Eleanor.

The Aegis OS we've been developing is about to launch. When it does, my status is going to skyrocket."

In front of Eleanor, there was no need for the humility Mira showed to the public. The more successful she was, the happier the old woman became.

A radiant glow instantly illuminated Eleanor's face. "Really? You succeeded? Our country is finally going to have its own mobile operating system? That is absolutely wonderful news.

And to think it's all thanks to my Mira.

Alright, I'll listen to you. I will do my best to keep living."

"And me, Grandma Eleanor, don't forget me!"

Owen chimed in from the sofa, looking up from his phone.

"You?"

Eleanor glanced at him. "You get second place. The vast majority of the credit goes to my Mira."

Owen teased, "You're playing favorites."

In truth, the development of Aegis OS was merely an initiative Mira had launched and funded based on memories from her past life. The actual architects behind the system were the brilliant minds at Solflare Entertainment and Vanguard Systems.

But if Eleanor wanted to see it that way, Mira was happy to let her.

The imminent launch of Aegis OS was a powerful shot of adrenaline for the frail eighty-year-old woman, just as it would soon be for the entire nation.

Right on cue, Miles arrived to visit Eleanor. He had made a habit of dropping by every few days, and he always brought good news.

Even when the Quinn family's company was stalling and he had nothing positive to report, Miles would fabricate good news just to keep her spirits up.

It was exactly what Mira had instructed him to do.

Sebastian also visited every couple of weeks. Mira had warned him: he was welcome to visit, but he had to keep a smile on his face and only share positive updates.

The internet instantly exploded into a frenzy of speculation. Within days, news of Aegis OS and the new domestic smartphones dominated every corner of the country.

Back to the present.

Mira looked over at Miles. "What, are you planning to enter the contest too?"

"So your company really did it? You guys quietly pulled off something massive again. Who's the other company?"

"Take a guess."

"It's not Vertex Social, is it? You guys collaborate with them quite a bit."

"Nope."

Mira said.

"Then who is it?" Miles pressed.
