Chapter185
Before his fingertips could touch Josephine, she handed her hand to another man who had just walked over.
“Mr. Huang, it’s been a long time. Thank you for coming…”
Wilfred’s hand froze in midair, and his expression darkened.
Josephine curled her lips slightly and said, “Mr. Hayden, you seem to be struggling inside. After all this time, who would just stand there waiting for you?”
“I would.” Helena took Wilfred’s hand, seizing the chance to confess.
“Fred is my one and only. I will always wait for Fred, forever.‘
Josephine clicked her tongue, maintaining her previous smile, and said to Wilfred:
“There aren’t many girls as devoted and wonderful as this. Mr. Hayden, you should marry her if you meet one…

Wilfred gripped Helena’s hand tightly.
He couldn’t tell himself whether he was moved by Helena’s devotion or angered by Josephine’s indifference…
After Josephine left, Wilfred calmed down and then remembered that he had forgotten to arrange a time to discuss the collaboration with her.

At ten o’clock, the press conference began.
First, the host introduced EternalCore Fab, followed by the product manager Michael introducing the fingerprint ring.
Elowen handed Josephine her high heels.
Josephine changed her shoes and walked toward the main venue of the
press
conference.
Michael’s earlier introduction had not been thorough enough.

Josephine went on stage, standing in the center with a microphone in hand.

Her shoulders were relaxed but not slouched, and her words flowed as naturally as a stream.
“As long as you connect your device with the magical fingerprint ring–be it your phone, car, smart doors and windows, and so on–you can operate them with gestures through fingerprint authentication.”
A reporter asked, “If the magic ring is lost, could it be misused by someone with bad intentions? Are there any safety measures?”
Josephine replied, “Because of fingerprint recognition, even if it’s unfortunately lost, you can rest assured–just cancel all associations.”
“In addition, its positioning is extremely precise. As long as it’s powered on, it can be found in a short time even if lost.”
Someone in the audience made a pun, “Mr. Hayden definitely can’t do that–he can’t figure out his own position…”
Helena kept staring at Josephine’s high heels.
From the press conference to the tech talk about the future, nearly two hours had passed.
Josephine had been standing the entire time.
The broken heel of her high heel should have come unglued long ago, causing Josephine to fall embarrassingly.
But why was it still so steady?
Helena stared unblinkingly at Josephine’s feet, her nails digging nervously into her own flesh. With every step Josephine took, Helena’s heartbeat pounded violently in her chest.
At 11:40, Josephine finished sharing about future technology.
Everyone stood up and applauded, the entire main venue echoing with enthusiastic applause and praise.
As Josephine bowed in thanks, she caught sight of Elowen leading Zachery, whom she hadn’t seen for days, into the room. They stood in the last row.
The man wàs tall and slender, his eyes sparkling with laughter, both hands raised high as he applauded her.

Josephine’s eyes shone brightly and powerfully as she withdrew her gaze and walked off the stage.
Perhaps she was walking too quickly; her right foot suddenly twisted, and she lost her balance, falling to the side.
“Careful…” Someone in the audience shouted, their voice panicked and strained with obvious anxiety.
No matter when or where it happens, a sudden fall always fills people with fear.
Josephine was no exception.
But she was startled, not panicked.
She had practiced falling techniques in martial arts classes before, on soft mats.
When falling sideways, she would turn her body, use a forward–fall motion, press her palms to the ground, and gradually transition to standing.
But she had no intention of doing that now.
