Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 67

Chapter67

“When you were eight, your mother took you to be a homewrecker, interfering in someone else’s marriage. When the wife found out, she beat

you both up, and your mother ran off, leaving you behind… I thought Ms. Pollard was lucky to have Mr. Hayden’s care and guidance, that maybe you could change your bad genes, but I didn’t expect you to surpass your mother in every way.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room erupted in an uproar.

It was no secret in the business circle that Helena was raised by Wilfred.

Josephine had even once revealed rumors about the ambiguous relationship between Helena and Wilfred..

Although the gossip didn’t last long, the rumors lingered. Many people knew the two had been entangled for a while, their relationship unclear.

Josephine looked at Zachery with admiration, amazed by his thoughtfulness and consideration.

Knowing she might be targeted by Helena, he had actually investigated Helena in advance and stood up for her.

Josephine’s eyes sparkled as she said, “Thank you, Zachery.”

Zachery tightened his arm around Josephine’s shoulder, pulling her closer into his embrace.

He spoke close to the faint mole beneath her right earlobe:

“Now, you are Natalia’s guardian, you are mine, and no one can bully you.”

Josephine was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Zachery.

Her temperament was pure and striking, her eyes shining brilliantly.

With Helena’s background exposed, her face turned deathly pale, completely drained of color.

Wilfred pulled Helena into his arms, shielding her protectively, and looked at Zachery with a gloomy expression.

“Lena’s mother has already passed away, Dr. Maynard. Do you not know to respect the dead?”

Josephine stopped smiling and spoke coldly, “Mr. Hayden, why don’t you ask Helena first if she knows?”

Afraid that the truth about Josephine slapping her would be revealed, Helena stopped Wilfred and said, “Fred, don’t say any more, we’re still at school.”

The surrounding parents muttered to themselves:

“So you do know we’re at school. This is turning into prime time drama.”

The school administrators, hearing the commotion, quickly split into two groups to mediate and separate them.

Only then did the four finally stop their confrontation.

The farce ended abruptly, leaving the parents feeling unsatisfied, as if they hadn’t seen enough.

Someone suddenly remembered the ‘punishment‘ item.

Luciana, embarrassed, took out the most–voted punishment–the losing parents had to kiss in public for one minute.

Parents kissing in front of their children was, in itself, nothing out of the ordinary.

But with Wilfred and Helena’s relationship, if they kissed in public…

That would be way too explosive and sensational.

The parents egged Wilfred on, urging him to accept the consequences of his bet.

Helena was naturally happy to comply, though she still pretended to be understanding:

“Fred, you don’t have to force yourself. I’m fine with it…”

Wilfred clenched his fists, his gaze flickering over Josephine.

But Josephine didn’t look at him at all; her eyes were only for Zachery and that girl.

Wilfred’s eyes grew darker and darker, like an abyss at the bottom of a cold pond, impenetrable by light.

He turned back and, to his surprise, saw his own reflection occupying Helena’s almond- shaped eyes.

“Fred, I’m willing to do anything for you, without regret or complaint.”

Wilfred slowly unclenched his hand, cupped Helena’s cheeks, and kissed her forcefully.

Exclamations of “Whoa!” and “Oh!” erupted from the crowd.

Josephine hadn’t turned around yet, but her gaze had already grown cold.

Bit by bit, she turned her head to look, extremely slowly.

With every glance, her heart grew colder, until it dropped below the lifeline of warmth.

Zachery reached out and covered Josephine’s eyes.

“Don’t look.”

Josephine stubbornly moved Zachery’s hand away.

She insisted on watching!

Only then could her heart die completely, so that she wouldn’t go soft in future confrontations!

After a minute, Wilfred let go of Helena.

He turned to look in a certain direction, but Josephine was already gone.
