Chapter 189
“Why didn’t you just confront Helena directly?”
“You saw how protective Wilfred is of her, didn’t you…” Josephine smiled helplessly.
“If I confronted them directly, at most they’d compensate me with a pair of shoes and a meaningless apology. I don’t care for that.”
“But by doing this, you got yourself involved too. Doesn’t your foot hurt?”
“It hurts, but I got through it. And it felt good.”
Zachery glanced at Josephine, a pang of pain in his chest.
She spoke as if it were nothing, but perhaps only she, the one who went through it, knew how chaotic and overwhelming it really was.
He rarely regretted his actions.
But he regretted not being braver back then, not taking Josephine away, and letting her choose Wilfred, that scumbag.
At this moment, at St. Estella Hospital.
Wilfred, who was troubled by Helena having to go to Sacre–Cour Basilica, suddenly felt his ears burning.
“Zoey, get me a cold towel.”
Wilfred pressed the cold towel to his ear. The heat subsided a bit, but then it started to itch.
Shane finished his call and shook his head at Wilfred.
“The priest at Sacre–Cour Basilica never shows favoritism. No matter who tries to pull strings, it won’t work.”
Wilfred tossed his phone onto the table as well.
“I contacted Owen, but he’s just as inflexible. He said he won’t restrict the livestream traffic.”
It seemed there really were things in this world that couldn’t be solved with money or power.

Shane said, “Just let Lena suffer a bit and learn her lesson. If she wants to go up against Josephine, she’ll need to be a lot more cunning.”
Wilfred knew Josephine was smart–this move of hers was truly brilliant.

With the media present and Lena’s actions exposed, not only could he not protect her, but Novo Tech would also be affected.
The super watch was destined to become the loser to the fingerprint ring…
Helena had originally thought that repentance and prayer would just mean kneeling before the statue for a while.
She never expected to be so wrong–she couldn’t even make it through the first day.
The two female reporters got up even earlier than she did.
At three thirty in the morning, they were already setting up their equipment for the livestream.
After getting up, Helena had to bathe and change clothes first.
There was no shower here–she had to build a fire, heat water, and wash in a wooden tub, all before four o’clock.
She hadn’t known any of this beforehand, so now she could only grit her teeth and wash with cold
water.
With the temperature on the mountain barely above ten degrees, at three thirty in the morning, taking a cold bath…
This was a torment Helena had never imagined before coming here. After her bath, she walked out the door shivering.
At four o’clock, she had to light candles and pray before the statue.
First, she had to worship the main statue, then proceed clockwise to pay respects to the other statues in the various halls.
Kneeling, standing, walking, kneeling again–over and over…
After repeating this hundreds of times, her legs felt like cotton, and she fell twice, crying as she walked.
Not only did the two female reporters not help her, they even made fun of her:
“Ms. Pollard, there’s no need for such grand gestures. It’s not yet time to kneel and bid goodnight

to the livestream audience…”
Helena was on the verge of tears.

The female reporter ignored her and set the livestream title to “Helena Apologizes Sincerely to Josephine.”
Patricia entered the livestream anonymously.
Afraid that viewers wouldn’t understand what was going on, she thoughtfully drew a relationship chart and listed several key incidents.
