“How ridiculous. What right does Mr. Hayden have? Just because you returned the roses you were going to give your new lover after running into Josephine, you think you can go back to playing the devoted husband?”
“My feelings for Josephine have never been about playing the role of a devoted man.
Wilfred felt he was being accused out of thin air, and for a moment, he couldn’t keep his composure, raising his voice.
“Whether it’s just a role or not, Mr. Hayden knows best in his own heart.”
“I’m not here to argue with Mr. Hayden over roses. It’s just that so much has happened lately, and since I ran into you, I think it’s necessary to give you a reminder.”
As Zachery said this, his gaze swept indifferently over Wilfred.

“Josephine is no longer alone and defenseless. Whoever tries to bully or hurt her again should first consider whether they can bear the consequences–tenfold.”
“Hmm?” Zachery let out a long, drawn–out sound, gentle yet full of pressure.
Josephine had repeatedly triumphed in her revenge against Wilfred, causing Novo Tech both financial and reputational losses. How could the Hayden family be willing to lose to a woman?!
To have reached his current position, he had seen more ghosts than people.
He was all too aware of how ugly and filthy the human heart could be.
If the ghosts lurking in the shadows could be driven away, why bother with real knives and swords, wasting one’s virtue?

His father did have thoughts of doing something to Josephine, but it was just an idea–maybe it would never be carried out…
Yet there was a clear warning in Zachery’s words.
He was just a nominal professor at a medical school–where did he get the confidence to warn him like this?!
Just as he was about to question Zachery again, Josephine came out of the dining room.
The dark green fabric she wore gave her figure a touch of cultural sophistication, making it more than just a display of a good body.
On top of that, she was flushed and slightly tipsy.
Even someone with ulterior motives, let alone her estranged ex–husband, couldn’t take their eyes off Josephine.
With a faint blush from the wine, Josephine had shed her usual reserved demeanor, exuding a lazy, coquettish charm like a wild cat.
“Dr. Maynard, why did you come out? I couldn’t find you anywhere.”
The harshness on Zachery’s face vanished without a trace, replaced by his usual gentle
composure.
“I just came out to have a word with Mr. Hayden.”
“What’s there to talk about with him? Were you talking about me?”
Josephine shot Wilfred a hostile glance, but when she turned to Zachery, her face lit smile.

The difference in how she treated the two men couldn’t have been more obvious.
Wilfred’s face was ashen, and the layers of anger in his heart were about to explode.
He didn’t care about Zachery; what mattered was that Josephine was deliberately trying to provoke him.
