In the end, Geneva built upon this discovery to create a helmet capable of unlocking human brain potential. It became a sensation across the universe. and for it, she was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award in Technology, etching her name in history.
However, that data was from the Star Era. She had no idea if the human brains there were the same or how far they could be developed.
So, if she could gather relevant data and make
brain–developing helmet, maybe she could make Melanie smarter.
That way, when she left there, Melanie would be able
But all that was for the future because right no
independently.
, she didn’t have the money to undertake such a massive project.
Her original salary was never high. After supporting
ughter and paying for living expenses every month, there were hardly any savings to speak of.
Then it hit Geneva what she could do. She sat down at her
computer.
Since Adele had already claimed that her son falling into the water was Melanie’s fault, she believed that to be the truth now. If Geneva didn’t do something, things would go down the same path as they did in the original Geneva’s life.
Smartphones were quite common these days. With so m
many people in the park, someone must have captured the incident on their phone.
She intended to use her hacking skills to sift through millions of phones to find videos related to the park incident.
Geneva typed quickly, but unfortunately, the internet speed was slow.
She noticed there were actually over ten devices connected to her home WiFi.
She immediately changed the password and used some code to boost the speed. Soon after, she found several videos.
These videos, taken from different angles, revealed the truth of what happened.
If Cliff and Adele didn’t mess with her, that was one thing. But if they did, she could expose these videos online to publicly shame them.
Just then, someone pounded on the door with great force, sounding very angry.
Geneva opened the door to find their next–door neighbor standing there.
Upon seeing Geneva, the woman shouted, “Did you change the WiFi password?”
Geneva nodded, and the woman said, “Why didn’t you tell me beforehand? Do you know that your actions have disrupted me and my family? My kid is about to start an online game competition. If he loses it, can you afford it?”
Geneva was speechless.
The original Geneva was too soft–hearted and never learned to say no, which was why she ended up surrounded by eccentric people.
Just as Geneva rolled her eyes, the woman impatiently added, “Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you. Just give me the new password.”
Geneva said with a sneer, “You’re using my internet, slowing down my connection, and costing me hundreds of millions of dollars in potential stock market earnings every second. If I don’t make it into the top 100 of Forbes next year, can you afford to take responsibility for that?”
With that, she slammed the door shut.
The woman outside was stunned. ‘What is wrong with her? Hundreds of millions of dollars? Forbes Top 100? Talk about blowing smoke up your own ass. Why not just fly to the moon?‘
She knocked again furiously, but Geneva completely ignored her. She cursed a few more times before finally storming off back to her place.

Chapter 43
In the night, at the Nichols family’s villa, Adele’s eyes were red–rimmed as she typed away at her computer, working on a news article while teare streamed down her face.
Cliff sighed and advised her, “Take a rest first. You can finish it tomorrow.”
But Adele stubbornly shook her head. “No, I have to get this article out as soon as possible. I need to clear Clive’s name. I want everyone to know Geneva doesn’t deserve to be a mother.”
She was angry. ‘She killed my son. If she had apologized or at least shown any remorse, it might have been bearable.
‘But she showed no sign of guilt. She destroyed a family and acted like she was in the right. Who does she think she is?‘
Geneva used all the savings of the original Geneva to buy a bunch of materials and made a simple brain testing tool.
She first tested Melanie’s brain with this detector, and as expected, only 3% of Melanie’s brain was developed, leaving 97% untapped.
This proved that Melanie didn’t have any issues with her brain; her potential just hadn’t been unlocked yet.
But that didn’t mean everyone was the same, so Geneva made up a survey questionnaire, printed it out, and started hitting the streets to collect data.
She handed out her surveys to passersby, but at first, no one wanted to stop and talk to her.
However, when they heard there was a machine that could test intelligence, some parents with kids started to show interest.
“Your machine won’t have any bad effects on our child’s brain, right?”
Geneva said, “No, I can show you by testing myself first.”
With that, Geneva put the device on her head, and soon enough, the detector read out the results automatically. “99% developed, 1% undeveloped.”
The parent in front of her asked, “What does that mean?”
Not one to be modest, Geneva replied, “It means I’m a genius, highly intelligent, surpassing 99% of humanity.”
The parents couldn’t help but twitch their mouths, starting to suspect that Geneva was just pulling a scam. ‘If you’re such a genius, why are you handing out surveys here?‘
No one stepped forward until an old man with a cane came up, smiling. “Can you test me?”
Geneva nodded. “Of course.”
The old man sat down, and Geneva placed the detector on his head, turning it on.
The test took about two minutes, and after removing the detector, Geneva had the old man fill out the survey. Then she said, “Sir, your brain is 15% developed, with 13% of that being in the right hemisphere. That suggests you have a high aptitude for music, visual arts, overall integration, and geometric spatial discrimination.”
The old man’s expression changed immediately upon hearing this.
Onlookers, seeing his reaction, pressed him for an answer. “Is what she’s saying true?”
After a moment, the old man said, “Very much so. I’m a painter.”
Still, he found it hard to believe, thinking, it might be a coincidence or that Geneva had figured out his identity through other means.
Chapter 43
He waved over a nearby boy. “Bobby, come here.”
The boy named Bobby Burke came over reluctantly, looking at Geneva with a look that seemed to say, “I’ve seen through your tricks.”
The old man asked Geneva, “Can you test my grandson, too?”
Geneva tested Bobby, who gave her a skeptical look throughout the process.
She was left speechless. After the test, she also had Bobby fill out a questionnaire. Then, she said, “Sir, your grandson is quite the opposite of you. His entire brain is nearly 30% developed, with the left hemisphere making up nine–tenths of that. So, your grandson should have a high aptitude for math and logic.”
