Josephine paused, and after a while, she asked Belinda:
“Do you remember what you said a couple of days ago?”
“Belinda, don’t treat others like toys you can beckon over when you need them and kick away when you don’t. If you want me to come back and take care of you, you should first let me forgive what you did before.”
Belinda immediately became impatient: “There you go lecturing again. Forget it, don’t come back, Josephine.”
Belinda hung up the phone, still looking annoyed.
She looked at Wilfred: “Dad, did Mom figure out that I was faking being sick?”
Wilfred didn’t say a word.
In the past, no matter how busy Josephine was, if she heard that Belinda was sick, she would drop everything to take care of her personally.
She would even stay up all night, keeping watch by the bedside without leaving for a
moment.
But this time, she actually ignored Belinda because she had to go to an interview at LuminousCore Tech… Did she really want to work for someone else that badly?!
In the taxi, Josephine felt a bit uneasy and called Zoey on her phone.
Zoey was taken aback: “Did Belinda have a fever?”
But just this morning at breakfast, she was still laughing and chatting with Helena.
Josephine said, “Thank you for your concern. If anything comes up, please call me anytime.
Zoey replied, “Okay,” several times in a row.
She went upstairs to see what was going on
Wilfred answered a call from his secretary and hurriedly drove out

Belinda said angrily, “Why did Auntie Helena make me call Mom? It ruined my good mood.”
Helena coaxed her, “Just wanted to see if your mom still loves you.”
“She didn’t come, so does that mean she doesn’t love me?”
“If I were Belinda’s mom, I’d be worried sick if I heard Belinda was ill, and I’d come home
right away.”
“I get it, Mom doesn’t love me, so I won’t love her either, hmph!”
Belinda felt very uncomfortable inside.
If Mom doesn’t love her, who does she love? That new classmate Natalia? Hmph, why should
she!
When Zoey found out that it was Helena who told Belinda to fake being sick, she cursed inwardly:
Getting married at twelve–what a disaster.
She sent Josephine a message: “Don’t worry, Belinda is in great spirits.”
Josephine felt much more at ease after receiving Zoey’s message.
The taxi stopped in front of the Thalassa Group LuminousCore Tech building.
After getting out, Josephine straightened her always unruly silk scarf and walked inside.
Someone was waiting for her and led her to the vice president’s office.
Josephine thought that since the company had just been acquired, the new person in charge would be a sharp, capable young or middle–aged man.
She never expected it to be an elderly man with white hair.
His name was Finn Keller
When she entered, Finn was dozing on the sofa, with ‘Tom and Jerry‘ playing on the screen.
After being woken up by his assistant, Finn calmly looked Josephine up and down
Then, with a kindly face, he patted the seat beside him and said
“Ms. Copeland, come over, let’s watch together I’ve made jasmine tea and there are cookies

too.”
Josephine sat down in disbelief.
Finn brought over the jasmine tea and cookies.
He crunched on a cookie for a while, then took a sip of jasmine tea.
Watching Finn’s casual and friendly manner, Josephine was momentarily struck by the illusion that she was seeing her own grandfather.
After three cups of jasmine tea and three episodes of cat–and–mouse, Josephine started to feel restless.
“Mr. Keller…”
