“That’s strange. So who exactly is backing Josephine?” Declan pondered.
“Suddenly I remembered something. That time Josephine and Zachery got a room together, I had someone check their spending records. I just wanted to see if they bought any condoms, but the cashier said something odd. I didn’t pay attention at the time, but now it seems suspicious.”
“The cashier said, for some reason, the card transaction record just disappeared, like it was automatically hidden. They couldn’t find it.”
“I thought the cashier just didn’t want to tell me, so I didn’t press further. But thinking about it now, it really is suspicious.”
Shane sneered, “If there really was such a card, would we not know about it? They just didn’t want to tell you.”
Declan thought about it and agreed. The few of them were practically all–powerful, and none of them had ever heard of such a card.
“This is bizarre. Who’s helping that woman?”
Wilfred said gloomily, “It’s all fate… It’s retribution for the underhanded ways I bullied her.”
“Fred, don’t say that.”
Declan respected Wilfred deeply. In his heart, Wilfred was even more important than his own father.
Seeing Wilfred lose his usual spirited demeanor, Declan grew anxious. “Are you still thinking about Josephine? I’ll bring her here to see you.”
“Don’t you dare,” Wilfred said coldly. “As if I can’t live without her.”
Shane said, “Exactly. Three–legged toads are hard to find, but two–legged women are everywhere. What’s there to be hung up about… Let’s drink, let’s drink.”
Nine o’clock at night, in front of the main entrance of Opal Heights.
“I’m here to see my wife. She’s inside. Why won’t you let me in?”

The security guard said, “There’s no wife of yours here, but there is a drunk like you. If you don’t leave, I won’t be so polite.”
Josephine got out of the taxi and saw a man holding a bouquet of gardenias, tussling with the security guards.
One of them insisted on going in.
The other two were holding him back, refusing to let him in.
Inside, five or six more security guards were waiting, holding batons and riot sticks, just waiting for the man to break in so they could give him a beating…
Josephine glanced at the man and recognized Wilfred. The warmth in her eyes gradually faded.
Wilfred was shoved out by the security guards.
He couldn’t stand steady, staggered a few steps, and when he turned around, he saw Josephine.
For a moment, the deep, cold look in his eyes was lit up with tiny sparks of light.
Pointing at Josephine, he said to the security guards, “Look! That’s my wife.”
The man’s tone sounded almost proud.
In the past, Josephine could have been happy for days just because of such a proud introduction from him.
But after seeing Wilfred’s despicable side, no matter what he did, he only made her feel disgusted.
Recking of alcohol, the man walked up to Josephine.
The security guards started to approach, but Josephine raised her hand to stop them.
Wilfred’s cheeks were flushed, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
“Honey, happy Valentine’s Day. You don’t like roses, so I bought gardenias instead.
“Honey, I haven’t forgotten our promise. On Valentine’s Day, I would buy you gardenias and spend the whole day with you.”

Josephine lowered her eyelids, staring at the bouquet of gardenias in Wilfred’s arms for a few seconds.
She raised her hand and forcefully knocked them to the ground.
The gardenias fell headfirst onto the asphalt, bounced twice, and then the petals scattered, blown away by the wind.
Wilfred’s smile froze, and it seemed the alcohol in him sobered up a little.
Josephine asked coldly, “Aren’t you shameless?!”
Then she walked around Wilfred and headed inside.
Wilfred’s drunken eyes were empty. After a long while, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
