Chapter 137
Even the stock price of Thalassa Group had risen significantly.
Finn organized a celebration banquet and sent the hotel address to Josephine.
The core technology belonged to Theodore alone; he was the great hero of Thalassa Group, and people toasted him one after another.
Theodore returned every toast to Josephine.
Because this honor should have been hers.
Josephine knew she couldn’t handle much alcohol, but today was a double celebration.
She said, “Let’s drink, let’s drink, drink as much as we can.

After a round, everyone else was fine, but she was half dead from drinking.
During the party, she received a call from Zachery.
Zachery said Natalia wasn’t home, so he could come pick her up.
So she gave Zachery the hotel address.
She had another round of drinks.
Elowen and Theodore didn’t know someone was coming to pick up Josephine, so they planned to take her home together.
Josephine refused, insisting on having a few more drinks.
Elowen kindly advised, “Let’s drink another day, Ms. Copeland. You’re already dead drunk.”
People who are drunk never admit they’re drunk; they only feel the party isn’t lively enough.
Elowen tried again: “Don’t drink anymore, Ms. Copeland. If you keep going, I’m afraid you’ll break your image.”
Not even five minutes after she said that.

Elowen witnessed the entire process of the noble and aloof Ms. Copeland breaking character.
At the hotel entrance, there was a figure dressed in white.
He leaned against a Land Rover, standing quietly, his eyes fixed on the hotel lobby.
In the moonlight, his gaze was neither overly intense nor dim, carrying a natural warmth.
Suddenly, Elowen let out a scream, startling both Theodore and Josephine.
“Oh my god, that man looks… just like a WiFi signal at full strength. I can’t help but want to connect!”
Josephine lifted her hazy eyes, glanced at Zachery, and was instantly overjoyed.
“Zachery!”
Theodore grabbed her arm, stopping her from moving forward.
He recognized this man–the male lead from the scandalous video about Ms. Copeland that had circulated at the front desk.
Now that Ms. Copeland was drunk, what if he had bad intentions toward her…
But the next second, Josephine looked at Zachery and smiled sweetly: “Zachery, you’re here.” Elowen’s mouth dropped open in shock, big enough to fit an egg.
That soft, rippling, girlish voice just now–did it really come from their cool and commanding Ms. Copeland???
Zachery felt a wave of indescribable tingling and warmth in his chest when Josephine called out to him.
He stepped forward and reached out his hand. “Let me take her.”
Theodore frowned. How could he possibly hand over a drunk Ms. Copeland to a man!
But Elowen was already so dazzled she couldn’t think straight. “Okay, sure.”
She was about to hand Josephine over, but Theodore shot her a glare.
Elowen’s conscience kicked in, and she pulled Josephine back.
Josephine looked at Zachery with a beaming smile and reached out her hand to him: “I can’t

walk anymore.”
Zachery asked like a gentleman, “Shall I carry you?”
Josephine stretched out her arms. “Carry me.”
Zachery bent down and lifted Josephine into his arms.
Her forehead accidentally bumped into Zachery’s collarbone.
She frowned and patted Zachery’s chest. “Ouch.”
Elowen was petrified on the spot!
Oh my god, so this is what they mean by ‘a completely different person before and after drinking.‘ She had truly witnessed it today.
Josephine’s hand was soft and weak, with no strength at all.
