Chapter 186
He swore there wouldn’t be a third time. No one could be that much of a fool three times in a
row…
A clear look of disgust flashed in Josephine’s eyes as she glanced at Wilfred.
A good ex should be as good as dead.
Couldn’t he just behave and act like he was dead? Meddling in her business almost ruined her plan…
“Ms. Copeland.”
Finn was so shocked he nearly spilled his hot tea. Seeing Josephine fall in front of him was even more terrifying than the bankruptcy of EternalCore Fab.
The old man immediately set down his teacup and hurried onto the stage to help Josephine.
But Theodore and Michael, who were behind him, easily overtook him and were the first to help Josephine up.
Finn patted his chest, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he caught sight of Zachery’s tense expression.
His eyes nearly popped out of his head.
When did he get here?
Dear heavens, Josephine had better not really be hurt, or this old bag of bones would be burned and used as fertilizer…
Finn’s lips trembled several times, and a shaky sound came from his throat:
“Theodore, Michael, you two… step aside! Let Dr. Maynard take care of Ms. Copeland, he’s a doctor.”
Josephine wasn’t surprised that Finn knew Zachery; they had seen each other before at the police
station.
She moved her foot a little. It only hurt slightly, nothing serious.

“I’m fine.”

As Josephine spoke, she looked up to see Zachery frowning slightly, lips pressed together, his gaze fixed on her ankle.
That serious expression reminded Josephine of how worried and anxious he had been when Natalia was injured…
“Shall I carry you down?” Zachery asked politely.
Josephine quickly replied, “No need, just help me up. Find me a chair to sit on.”
In the chaos, Helena tugged at Wilfred: “Fred, let’s go. Belinda is still in the hospital.”
Before Wilfred could say anything, Josephine spoke up:
“Elowen, bring me my shoes… How did I twist my ankle like this?”
Hearing this, Helena felt she couldn’t stay a moment longer.
After Josephine sat down in the front row, her cold gaze fell on Helena.
A hint of a smile played at her lips, though her eyes remained still, as if she were waiting for prey to step into a trap.
Helena’s heart pounded like she had angina; she felt like she was the prey Josephine had set her sights on…
Elowen picked up Josephine’s high heels, her face instantly filled with shock.
“Ms. Copeland, the shoes you bought this morning–the heel has been completely smashed off!”
“What? Smashed off?” The crowd surged forward to take a look.
This was a whole different matter now–this was malicious harm.
“Reporters, could you help check if someone glued it back together?”
Two female reporters pinched their noses:
“With such a strong formaldehyde smell, do we even need to look?”
“I have shoes from this brand too. After three years, the heels are still perfectly fine.”
“Someone definitely tampered with them.”

“Who could be so despicable?”
“Clearly malicious intent–arrest them and send them to the police.”

Compared to finding the culprit, Zachery was actually more concerned about Josephine’s injured foot.
The culprit would not escape, that much was certain.
But the pain–Josephine would have to bear it alone. No one could take her place.
Zachery’s gentle eyes shifted to Finn’s face.
Finn shuddered all over, his old face breaking into a smile brighter than a chrysanthemum.
“Dr. Maynard, what can I do for you?”
“Do you have an ice pack?”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
