Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 33

Zachery saw it all.

He even felt the urge to kill Wilfred!

He said gently, “If someone has too much good luck, it can turn bad. I’ll give you half of mine.”

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and placed it on Josephine’s shoulder.

It felt like comfort, but also as if he was really transferring some luck to her.

His palm was very warm.

Josephine could feel an irresistible heat spreading from her shoulder and back throughout her body, as if all the dispirited cells inside her were being set alight.

Zachery withdrew his hand and said mysteriously, “You’ll have good luck very soon.”

Josephine was amused by his childish gesture.

As she laughed, her eyes drifted toward the distant sea of city lights.

Zachery observed her. “Did you go see any apartments at Opal Heights?”

Josephine shook her head.

After all, the money from Mr. Z would have to be repaid. She had already spent enough without knowing his true intentions, and Opal Heights was something she really didn’t dare

to consider.

“The agent is helping me look for a suitable neighborhood.”

Zachery understood. Since it wasn’t her own money, she still felt constrained when spending

1. it.

He needed to come up with a solution…

After sitting together for only half an hour, Zachery said he had to drive back

Josephine glanced at the ink–black night, a little worried that Zachery might get lost.

After all, his daughter had personally confirmed that he was hopeless with directions–even

with GPS…

Zachery saw right through Josephine’s thoughts, his gaze unusually gentle.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already memorized the way to you.”

Josephine’s expression was calm, but deep inside, it felt as if a bubble had burst.

She ignored that strange feeling and turned away first.

Zachery called out to her and tossed something over.

Josephine caught it with one hand, right on target.

It was a gold bell shaped like a persimmon.

“Give it a shake, and something good will happen.” That was what Zachery said.

Before going to bed, Josephine picked up the gold bell with a sense of reverence.

She even bowed devoutly. “Bless me! May all my wishes come true!”

Then she gave it a few vigorous shakes.

Her fingertips trembling slightly, she opened the app.

She discovered that her traffic had exploded.

The explosion was earth–shattering.

It shot to the top of the trending list.

There were already tens of thousands of comments:

“Oh my god, are these two actually siblings? They look just like a newlywed couple.”

“Come on, what’s wrong with a little closeness? Why twist pure sibling affection? The blogger is just stirring up trouble for no reason.

“Are you blind? The two of them are practically joined at the hip.”

“If it’s true, how is the original spouse supposed to feel? The siblings are fabricating facts

together, shameless and without any moral bottom line. All people see are the jerk and the homewrecker. Disgusting. I’m never buying Novo Tech products again.”

“It’s so disgusting, a third–rate adopted sister, so vicious that everyone is outraged. She deserved to be hit, and it wasn’t even hard enough.”

There were too many comments for Josephine to reply. She just quietly liked a few of them.

She turned off her phone, picked up the lucky persimmon bell, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly.

Tonight, she would finally get a good night’s sleep.

President’s office at Novo Tech.

Wilfred irritably loosened his tie. He had already spent five million to limit Josephine’s account traffic.

Unexpectedly, the operations director of the social platform refunded the five million.

The reason was: “This is a bit inhumane.”

Wilfred was no greenhorn just out of school.

He knew someone had intervened in this matter. Suspecting Josephine might have reported it to the authorities, he asked his secretary, Eugene Hamilton, to investigate.

To his surprise, Josephine hadn’t reported anything. Instead, it was the chief assistant of Thalassa Group who got involved.

Thalassa Group was one of the top companies in the country, even the world, dominating nearly every industry it touched.

The social platform was also an app under Thalassa Group.

Chief assistant Owen Carver was always busy and never bothered with trivial matters like trending topic buyouts.

If he did get involved, there could only be one reason: the money wasn’t enough.

Owen had a notorious reputation in the business world: a corrupt official who indulged in pleasure.

He was the right–hand man of Thalassa Group’s leader.

He only cared about money, not people, and would never miss a chance to make a profit.

Wilfred had Eugene transfer ten million over.

The traffic was only restricted for half an hour before it shot back to the top.

Apparently, it still wasn’t enough money…
