Wilfred felt as if a dark cloud had settled over his mood.
It had rained heavily, the scene was already compromised, and there was no surveillance nearby. It would be hard to find anyone.
“Do as Lena says, don’t call the police. If anything else happens to her, none of you will be allowed back to Vexford.”
After hanging up, Wilfred wondered if Josephine could have been behind it.
But he quickly dismissed the thought himself.
Just like at the Sylphoire private dinner, Josephine had stripped Lena of her clothes, but she hadn’t let any man go in and take pictures of Lena.
Josephine’s methods would never be that despicable…
But if it wasn’t Josephine, then who else could it be?
Now, whenever Wilfred thought of Josephine, he couldn’t calm his heart.
To him, this woman was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
Beneath her calm exterior, she hid an obstinacy and stubbornness that made him want to keep his distance.
But there was nowhere left to retreat, so he could only brace himself and face it.
He had already purchased Aurora Corporation’s software, and the R&D Center of Novo Tech was working overtime to study the AIGC algorithm.
Soon, the X3 Chip would be ready for testing, packaging, and boxing.
If only he could stall Josephine for ten days or half a month…
“Mr. Hayden, something’s wrong.”
Eugene was Wilfred’s right–hand man, and it was rare to see him look anxious.

But this time, his face looked as if he had seen the end of the world
Wilfred’s eyelid twitched sharply.
He guessed the bomb was about to go off
“EternalCore Fab has made another breakthrough in technology…”
Just as he expected.
Wilfred’s facial muscles tensed. He couldn’t understand how it could happen so quickly
It had only been five days since Singularity Tech.
No matter how capable Josephine was, she couldn’t possibly develop another Singularity App without software support, could she?
Eugene’s hands were shaking with shock as he cast the EternalCore Fab press conference onto the screen for Wilfred to see.
After watching, Wilfred’s clenched fists slowly relaxed.
He slumped heavily onto the sofa, looking utterly defeated!
“Singularity V2 can complete 32–bit front–end design in just four hours, while Novo Tech still needs several months for the same process.”
“This time, Singularity V2 technology also enables collaborative innovation between software and hardware, with performance 30% higher than Novo Tech’s perception chip
“Singularity V2’s array operator performance has soared by 110%…”
Tech enthusiasts watching the live broadcast felt their curiosity and gossip surge once again.
“Is Josephine trying to wipe out Novo Tech completely?”
“I’ve been waiting for this day for so long… Think about it, Josephine is such a strong person. For her to expose her own wounds and reveal Wilfred and his adopted sister, she must have been pushed to the limit.”
“Let’s make a bet. I bet Josephine will show mercy. After all, they were deeply in love. Ive seen the way they look at each other–so much affection, sweet as honey”
“I bet Josephine won’t look back. With her beauty, education, and ability, she’s a total

powerhouse. Isn’t it better to shine on her own?!”
At the end of the press conference, Josephine took the reporter’s microphone and dropped a piece of news.
“EternalCore Fab is developing a holographic projection phone that will use the first batch of Al chips in the future. Our team’s resources are limited, so for the imaging lens, we are considering collaborating with other companies…”
Wilfred poured himself a full glass of strong liquor over ice, and downed it in one gulp
Josephine had said that on purpose for him to hear.
He was not Josephine’s business partner.
So Josephine would not collaborate with Novo Tech.
And any other imaging chip company would be a competitor to the X3 Chip.
By working with his competitors, Josephine was setting up a pincer attack against Novo Tech.
After finishing his drink, Wilfred slammed the glass onto the carpet, grabbed his suit jacket. and stormed out.
Eugene drove him to EternalCore Fab.
After the press conference, Josephine sat alone in the reception room.
She made tea for herself.
She didn’t shortchange herself, not skipping a single step.
Warming the pot, awakening the aroma of the dry tea, pouring water in a high are along the rim, the three–rise–three–fall pouring method…
Wilfred arrived just as she reached the three–rise–three–fall step.
He watched as Josephine skillfully poured out the rinse water, then refilled the pot, lifting and lowering the spout three times, the stream of water falling evenly into the pot like a fine waterfall…
Wilfred, still burning with anger, suddenly remembered the day after their wedding, when his mother had asked Josephine to make tea for the guests. The memory calmed him down.
