Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166

“The intelligent drone’s patrol footage uses the X2+ Chip human–eye chip I developed. When it launched, Wilfred sent ten or twenty units each to the police, legal, and military departments, and the rest were sold at retail… Only Thalassa Group placed a single order for over a thousand drones… So, to have hundreds of intelligent drones searching for people within twenty minutes, there’s only one person who could do that.”

Josephine’s eyes, clear as water, stared straight at Zachery, trying to find something in his expression.

Zachery’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, but his face remained calm and unruffled.

Only he knew that his heart had been pounding wildly for some time…

Josephine was simply too perceptive and sharp; sooner or later, he would be exposed in front of her!

Josephine thought for a moment more and realized she might have overlooked someone.

She corrected herself, saying, “Actually, there should be two people: one is the head of Thalassa Group, and the other is the powerful Mr. Carver.”

“I’m very curious, Dr. Maynard–who did you ask for help tonight?”

After hearing Josephine’s correction, Zachery’s wildly beating heart finally began to slow down.

Fortunately, his personal information was always too well hidden, and rumors had it that he was just an old man with one foot in the grave.

That was why Josephine hadn’t connected him to the head of Thalassa Group.

Zachery pushed up his glasses and replied ambiguously, “Don’t you already have the answer in your heart?”

Josephine guessed that Zachery knew Owen, and that their relationship was probably quite good.

Previously at the police station, when Yvonne demanded that Zachery kneel and apologize,

you think?” Owen had teased him, saying, “What do you

Owen was also a mysterious figure, rarely seen in public.

It was said that he was kidnapped at least four times a year, all to force out the whereabouts of the person in power…

Owen held a high position, and usually only the top leaders of branch companies, like Mr. Keller or Hendrix, could meet him.

How did Dr. Maynard come to know Owen?

Josephine was suspicious, but after all, it wasn’t her business.

If others didn’t mention it, she wouldn’t take the initiative to investigate and cause trouble for

them.

“Ms. Copeland, your daughter is awake and asking for you.‘

“I

A nurse from the orthopedic ward at St. Estella Hospital came to call Josephine.

Before leaving, Josephine said to Zachery, “I’ve already learned the truth. I won’t let them misunderstand Natalia anymore. You can go back now.”

Zachery stopped Josephine as she was about to leave: “Will you… come back to Opal Heights?”

Josephine replied, “Of course I will. Where else would I live?”

Zachery’s smile deepened. “Alright, call me when you get back.

“Okay, drive safely.”

Josephine left the pavilion.

She hadn’t gone far when she caught a familiar scent of tobacco.

Glancing sideways, she saw Wilfred standing alone under a streetlamp, a crimson glow at his fingertips.

No one knew how long he had been standing there; cigarette butts were scattered all over the ground.

Josephine looked at Wilfred, her gaze no different from the way she looked at the streetlamp behind him.

As calm as the surface of a deep lake.

No, not even as deep as a lake.

When the wind blows over a lake, it can still create ripples.

But when her eyes swept over him, they didn’t move at all.

Wilfred thought gloomily that she hadn’t looked at Zachery like this just now…

As soon as the resentment arose, Wilfred startled himself.

Why did he feel like a jealous husband stewing in vinegar?

Wilfred stubbed out his cigarette, tossed it in the trash, and walked toward the inpatient building.

When Belinda woke up, the anesthesia hadn’t worn off yet.

Seeing her foot in a cast, she thought her ankle was broken and that she would become a cripple in the future. She was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Helena asked the nurse to go out and find Josephine.

When she saw that there was no one else in the ward, she comforted Belinda a little, then asked gently, “Do you dislike Natalia?”

Belinda wiped her tears and nodded without hesitation.

Ever since Natalia appeared, neither the teachers nor the classmates at school liked her

anymore.

Even her mother liked Natalia more than her.

She hated Natalia, really hated her.

Helena spoke gently: “Now everyone thinks it was Natalia who pushed you and caused your injury. Even your mother thinks so… She’s taking care of you because of this, so maybe she’ll stop liking Natalia soon…”

Belinda was happy for a moment, but then her delicate brows furrowed.

“But… it wasn’t Natalia who pushed me. She was afraid I’d fall and even tried to pull me…”
