Chapter 153
Korbin put Belinda down and went to the living room to have tea and chat with Hendrix.
Helena thoughtfully brought Yvonne a cup of tea.
After Yvonne drank it, she started to scold Wilfred, who was sitting silently on the sofa.
“Are you out of your mind? It’s one thing to give that shrew the Good Samaritan Shelter and the packaging factory, but why did you give her 500 million on top of that?”
Five hundred million!
Yvonne got dizzy just thinking about how 500 million is five million bills, weighing 5.75
tons.
If it were all in cash, it could crush Josephine to death.
Yvonne continued to scold, “Aren’t you afraid she’ll use your money to support that pretty- boy professor and his daughter?”
“You’re too soft! If I ever see that shrew, I’ll make her pay the money back no matter what.‘

“Why couldn’t you just give her tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or a million? Why give her 500 million? Has that shrew created 500 million in value for Novo Tech?”
“She has!” Wilfred suddenly spoke up, his answer firm and decisive.
He grabbed his suit jacket and car keys and stood up.
“Dad knows exactly how much. You can ask him.”
Without looking back, he left the ward and exited the hospital.
The image of Josephine and Zachery kissing played in his mind like a movie, looping over and over.
His mood was restless, like eels wriggling in his heart.
Wilfred found Shane’s number and dialed.

“Are you free? Come have a drink with me.”
Shane said, “Of course I’ll join you. I’ll call Declan too.”
At this hour, all the nightclubs were still closed.
The three of them agreed to meet in the underground wine cellar at Rose Manor.
It was designed by Josephine in a sci–fi style and could hold thousands of bottles of red wine.
Go a little further in, and a door led to a private screening room.
Wilfred stood at the entrance of the screening room, thinking of Josephine.
“From now on, we’ll celebrate our anniversaries here. We’ll drink red wine from crystal glasses, have a candlelit dinner, and watch a movie together. Isn’t that romantic?”
After it was built, all his buddies wanted to come and play.
Whenever they came, they always brought women along.
They drank in the wine cellar, and after drinking too much, they let loose and partied wildly.
On the table, in the bathroom, in the screening room–kissing, undressing, making out. Josephine saw it all on the surveillance cameras and was so disgusted she didn’t eat that day.
Later, she even found a used condom under the seats in the screening room, not knowing who it belonged to…
After that, Josephine never came to the wine cellar again and completely looked down on his group of friends.
No matter how many times he explained that this kind of thing was common in their circle and that a messy private life didn’t affect their loyalty, Josephine wouldn’t listen.
Josephine simply ignored him, looking down on his friends, and his friends looked down on Josephine in return…
Wilfred opened a bottle of whiskey.
He added ice to a glass and poured the liquor.
By the time Shane and Declan arrived, he had already drunk half the bottle.

The two of them sat down across from Wilfred.
“Fred, why do you look so down? Who upset you?”
Wilfred didn’t say a word and poured drinks for the two of them.
Shane guessed, “Josephine?”
