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.
