Chapter47
Mrs. Vaughn looked as if someone had grabbed her by the throat, her arrogance gone.
Josephine’s sharp gaze swept over the other ladies.
“As for the rest of you, I’ve never really looked at you properly. Which distinguished families do you belong to? Why not introduce yourselves so I can greet you one by one?”
Whether in business or politics, everyone knew there was little innocence in the world of fame and fortune.
No one dared to openly go against Josephine anymore.
Helena had wanted to use the ladies to embarrass Josephine, but unexpectedly, the tables were turned, and her own face darkened.
Patricia looked at Josephine with admiration.
With just a few words, she had silenced them all–so beautiful and so cool.
Josephine took Patricia’s hand and walked out, but Helena chased after them.
“Josephine, you were so impressive just now. You must be feeling pretty pleased, right?”
“But if I were Josephine, I wouldn’t have done that. Those ladies were indeed people I went to great lengths to invite, hoping to teach Josephine a lesson. But with just a few words, Josephine has turned their sympathy for me into deep hatred for her.”
Helena gave a small smile.
“They have not only money, but power too. Josephine, your days ahead will only get harder. I advise you to leave Vexford–there’s a whole world out there, why be so stubborn?”
“Are you done? Then get out of the way.”

Helena panicked and covered her face with both hands

In truth, Josephine knew those ladies wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
But if she had offended them, so be it. She would face whatever came her way–what else
could she do?
The chance for her to leave Vexford had already been ruined by Wilfred.
Now, she just needed to seize a new job opportunity.
Wilfred and Helena, just wait and see–she would make them pay.
Josephine went about her shopping as usual, as if nothing had affected her at all.
But things were much worse for Patricia.
When she got home, Shane immediately started yelling at her:
“Who do you think you are, daring to criticize Mrs. Vaughn? Even if she killed Josephine, it would have nothing to do with you. Stop stirring up trouble and making things difficult for me. If my career or my father are affected by this, you’ll never get rid of me for the rest of your life, and your grandfather won’t have it easy either. Try me if you don’t believe it.”
Then he turned to the servants and ordered, “Take Madam’s phone away. She is to kneel in the chapel and not come out for three days.”
After returning to Opal Heights, Josephine gathered detailed information online about LuminousCore Tech’s products and team members.
She had a good memory and quickly committed everything to mind.
But there was still a small matter bothering her.
She had bought several outfits today and couldn’t decide which one to wear tomorrow.
She tried to video call Patricia, but the servant told her Patricia was taking a bath.
Just then, Dr. Maynard arrived, so she hung up the video call and went to open the door.
Zachery was holding a plate of freshly peeled pomegranate seeds.
Josephine sincerely praised him, “The chefs at the bullet restaurants in Opal Heights are truly dedicated.”
Zachery remained silent

He had peeled today’s pomegranate himself, because Josephine hadn’t gotten any yesterday.
He had also peeled yesterday’s pomegranate, but worried about dirtying the watch Josephine had given him, he had taken it off and hidden it in his pocket.
He hadn’t expected to run into Wilfred; otherwise, he would have worn the watch to show it off, and wouldn’t have spent a whole night regretting it and unable to sleep…
“Dr. Maynard, please come in. I happen to have something I’d like to ask you.”
Josephine was extremely polite, using every honorific she could think of.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zachery’s mouth.
