Josephine quickly lowered her head and said, “Yes, yes, I won’t try to get anything out of you again.”
After leaving Finn’s office, Josephine let out a long breath.
Finding out Mr. Z’s identity was really difficult.
The receptionist came over and said to Josephine, “Eugene from Novo Tech is here again. He wants to see you.”
Josephine paused and said, “Tell him the higher–ups are still considering it. Let them wait.”

Waiting is like walking in the dark.
It cuts like a knife, making people anxious and uneasy.
A week passed, and Josephine still hadn’t given a reply.
Wilfred wasn’t waiting willingly, either.
He had privately approached two other companies, but neither offered as much profit potential as working with EternalCore Fab.
In the afternoon, he went to EternalCore Fab himself to find Josephine.
At that moment, Josephine was instructing Gideon on his next “task.”
“Buy her a bag, buy her jewelry, propose… After she says yes, tell her your company is in crisis, that you’re afraid of dragging her down and want to break up… Remember, if she offers you money, just say it’s still far from enough, but don’t take a cent. Don’t get involved in financial crimes…”
There was a double knock at the door.
The receptionist came in and said that Mr. Hayden from Novo Tech had arrived.
Josephine’s lips curled up slightly.

Wilfred finally couldn’t sit still any longer.
She said. “Bring him to my office.”
It was Wilfred’s first time in Josephine’s office.
No exaggeration, it was even bigger than the reception room at Novo Tech’s R&D Center.

There was a dining area, a workspace, a reception area, a lounge… Owen really was generous with talent.
Josephine slowly turned her leather chair around. “Mr. Hayden, you’re here. Grab a chair and have a seat.”
At this moment, Josephine’s aura was completely overpowering Wilfred.
Wilfred suddenly found himself missing the Josephine of the past.
She might have always seemed rational and assertive, but when it came to work, she never contradicted him.
She respected him, supported him, and balanced strength with gentleness.
Now, Josephine felt completely different from before.
She looked at him with her chin raised…
But there was nothing he could do about her–after all, she had found herself a powerful backer and become his client.
Wilfred swallowed his pride and pulled out a chair.
His perfectly pressed trousers had barely touched the seat when he heard Josephine’s cold, unhurried voice:
“It seems Mr. Hayden has made this trip for nothing… I just received the notice as well. Headquarters said they’d rather forgo a technological breakthrough than cooperate with Novo Tech. Mr. Hayden, perhaps you should go back and reflect on what exactly you did to offend the leadership of Thalassa Group!”
Before Josephine had even finished speaking, Mr. Hayden, who had been beaming with confidence just moments ago, turned the color of pig’s liver.
It wasn’t Wilfred’s first day on the job.
When the other party said they needed to consider, it usually meant there was a possibility for

cooperation.
How could they. after a week of consideration, suddenly say they’d rather forgo a breakthrough than cooperate”
There was no way Josephine had just received the news–she was clearly toying with him on purpose.
Wilfred felt his breathing grow unsteady.
Only Josephine had the ability to make him want to treat her better, no matter how hard he tried to control himself.
But every time he set aside his pride and tried to offer her a sweet gesture, she would always slap him in the face.
Even if he had hurt her before, she couldn’t possibly forget all the times he had poured his heart out to her.
She had forgotten that he had buried her mother for her, searched for her father’s body, and founded the Good Samaritan Shelter and the packaging factory for her.
She remembered none of the good, only the one mistake…
Heartless woman.
A burning fire raged in Wilfred’s chest, like an ember buried beneath an iceberg, erupting into scorching lava.
His reason and pride would not allow him to shout at Josephine in EternalCore Fab.
