Chapter 172
She had been too confident in her feelings for Wilfred from the start, giving all her technology to Novo Tech without reservation.
Now she was stuck because of it…
Josephine crossed her hands, resting her chin on the back of her hand as she thought.
The initial processing of raw image data by the image chip was the prerequisite for subsequent deep AI processing.
Only after the image data had been pre–processed by the image chip could the AI chip perform more advanced analysis and optimization based on this relatively “clean” and “organized” data.
So…
Theodore hit the nail on the head.
“If we want to develop the AI chip quickly, the only option is to outsource the image processing part to Novo Tech.”
Hand it over to Novo Tech?
Let her Singularity Tech and her past tech collaborations make money to support Wilfred, and then Wilfred supports Helena…
Might as well design an AI bomb and destroy everything.
Josephine felt explosions going off in her heart, but she managed to keep her expression under control.
She checked her reflection on her phone; at least she didn’t look ferocious.
“We’ll discuss this another day. Meeting adjourned!”
As Elowen was about to leave, Josephine called out to her.
“Help me get a new fingerprint ring, men’s style.”

Elowen gave her a strange look. “Ms. Copeland, are you giving it to someone?”
Josephine nodded openly. “Yes.”
“For Zachery?”
Josephine put down the file in her hand, looking at Elowen, wondering how she knew so clearly.
Elowen started talking about the night of the celebration banquet when Josephine got drunk.
She didn’t just talk about it–she acted it out.
Playing four roles by herself, she was even more exaggerated than an award–winning actress, making Josephine’s scalp tingle.
“At the time, Theodore and I were helping your drunken self out of the hotel’s revolving door, and Dr. Maynard descended like a celestial being. You called out ‘Zachery… and your voice was that kind of sharp, sweet, and coquettish tone… ‘Zachery, Zachery,‘ ah, I can’t imitate it, but anyway, it was the kind of voice that would make a man’s body tense and a woman shiver all over.”
“Then you reached out to Dr. Maynard, and neither Theodore nor I could hold you back… You said, ‘Zachery, hug me…“”
Theodore interrupted coldly.
“It was Zachery who asked, ‘Should I hug you?“”
Elowen said, “Right, right, you said, ‘I can’t walk anymore,‘ and Zachery asked, ‘Should I hug you?‘ Then Ms. Copeland, you used that sharp, sweet, coquettish voice again and said, ‘Hug me…“”
“Enough! Enough!”
Josephine imagined that thunderous scene and shuddered.
She cleared her throat and said, “You two did a great job, but not another word about it.”
“Also, erase that scene from your minds like a program!”
After Elowen and Theodore left, Josephine twisted open a bottle of purified water.
She drank quite a bit.

Only after the heat in her face gradually subsided did she leave the meeting room.
Zoey had gone to St. Estella Hospital to take care of Belinda, which made Josephine feel much more at case.
It also made it much easier to get updates.
Knowing that Korbin and Yvonne were at the hospital, Josephine decided not to visit Belinda herself.
To avoid confrontation.
At the end of the workday, Josephine put the men’s fingerprint ring in her bag and asked where Zachery was.
Zachery replied, “Just got off work, about to head home.”
Josephine went back to Opal Heights first, waited and waited, but Zachery still hadn’t come back.
She was just about to call Zachery when she heard someone ring her doorbell.
She walked to the entryway and saw that it was Zachery’s friend–Dalton Dr. Castro.
Josephine had just finished showering. She checked her loungewear to make sure it was appropriate before opening the door.
Dalton didn’t even bother with pleasantries and blurted out, “Zach was in a car accident.”
Josephine’s heart skipped a beat.
Her eyelashes trembled, and her breathing grew heavy.
“Dr. Castro, I’ve been staying up late these past two days, maybe I’m hallucinating… What did you just say happened to Dr. Maynard?”
Josephine’s gaze was a bit dazed, but overall she remained composed.
Dr. Castro’s face was shrouded in a shadow.
“Dr. Maynard was in a car accident. In all the years I’ve known him, I’ve never seen him this badly hurt–his face was covered in blood.”
Josephine felt her heart suddenly pounding like a drum.

Her throat tightened as she repeated, “A… a car accident?”
Dalton nodded heavily.

Josephine was stunned for a few seconds, then said, “It can’t be that serious, right?
Otherwise, why would Dr. Castro come to Opal Heights to find me instead of taking him to the hospital and then notifying me?”
Dalton’s heaviness abruptly vanished.
