Chapter 183
Once you tell enough lies, it becomes a habit–you don’t even have to think, the words just come
out.
Helena stuck out her tongue, looking as playful and cute as a little rabbit.
Wilfred couldn’t help but tug at the corners of his mouth, infected by her mood.
During the days Belinda had her fracture, Lena had tirelessly comforted and cared for her, working day and night without complaint.
Especially yesterday.
Josephine had told Belinda not to call her anymore.
Belinda felt completely abandoned by her own mother, and even sobbed in her sleep from sadness.
Lena cried along with Belinda.
She said, “I understand Belinda the most. She and I share the same fate–we’re both children unwanted by our mothers… I understand Belinda’s fear and helplessness.”
Wilfred felt a surge of pity for the fragile and pitiful Helena.
He cupped Helena’s cheek with one hand, his thumb gently stroking from her jawline to her earlobe several times.
Helena naturally rested her face in Wilfred’s palm.
She closed her eyes, savoring his warmth and his protection.
Eugene walked in and saw this scene.
A layer of shock appeared on his otherwise calm face.
He turned to leave, but Wilfred called out to him.
“Come back.”
Eugene turned back and saw that Wilfred had already lowered his hand from Helena’s face.

Helena blushed and greeted him, “Eugene.”
Then she went to the ward.
She didn’t go inside, instead leaning her back against the wall.
She wanted to hear if there was any news she could use to get back at Josephine.

Back in Marisbury, Josephine had made her life miserable. If she didn’t get revenge, she wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep in peace…
Eugene mentally reviewed the day’s important events, then dutifully reported.
“The board members all hope that the X3 Chip can collaborate with EternalCore Fab’s holographic projection phone.”
“They’ve realized that the Singularity V2 technology is lacking in imaging, and they want you to persuade Madam… no, persuade Ms. Copeland to outsource this technology to Novo Tech.”
Wilfred looked up at Eugene, his gaze a bit cold.
“They think I can persuade Josephine?”
Eugene answered honestly, “They think you can.‘
“And what do you think?” Wilfred’s voice grew colder.
Eugene braced himself and replied truthfully, “I don’t think you can!”
The former Madam was never one to go with the flow.
She had her own opinions, but at work she never went against Mr. Hayden. In the company, she always treated Mr. Hayden as her boss.
But now, Madam and Mr. Hayden are at odds. She probably won’t stop until Novo Tech is utterly destroyed…
Wilfred agreed, rubbing his tired forehead. “I’m afraid it’s difficult even to get her to meet me now.”
“It’s not difficult. There’s an opportunity right now.”
Wilfred handed over an invitation.
“Three days from now, at the EternalCore Fab launch event, there will be a segment on ‘Technology and the Future,‘ inviting CTOs from the industry. You can just attend then.”

In the ward, a fleeting trace of cold ruthlessness flashed in Helena’s eyes, and her smile slowly froze.
After work, Josephine invited Patricia to go shopping at TBE Mall
Unfortunately, Patricia had gone home to accompany her grandfather.
So Josephine went to the mall by herself.
On the way, she noticed a silver Porsche Panamera following behind her…
A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
After entering TBE Mall, Josephine picked out a few outfits and then went to buy shoes to match.
She took a liking to a pair of pure white pointed high heels, but unfortunately, they didn’t have size 37.
The sales assistant said, “We can transfer the shoes from another store and have them delivered to your specified location within three days.”
Josephine agreed and gave the sales assistant some instructions.
She paid and left the address of EternalCore Fab.
Three days later.
Josephine got up early as usual and went for a run.
After returning home, she took a shower.
She put on a plain off–white suit, tying the thin belt tightly at the side.
For now, she wore a pair of simple white sneakers.
The high heels she bought at TBE Mall would be delivered to EternalCore Fab before ten o’clock.
She didn’t wash her hair or put on makeup, having booked an appointment at the Opal Heights styling studio, planning to get her hair and makeup done before heading to the office.
The elevator was stopped on the fifth floor, so Josephine pressed the down button.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but wonder: Why is the elevator on the fifth floor?
Did Zachery just go up? Or is Zachery planning to go downstairs too?\

Thinking she might run into Zachery, she quickly ran her fingers through her slightly messy hair in front of the mirror.
