Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74

He wasn’t really leaving; he just wanted to see if Josephine, standing by her deserted booth, regretted the divorce.

But too many people were following him, so he had to wait until the crowd dispersed before going over.

Helena wanted to leave with Wilfred at the same time, but a man in his sixties called out to

her.

“Miss, could

you introduce me to one of your company’s cameras?”

Helena sized up the elderly man.

He was wearing a gray polo shirt, with a fountain pen in the left breast pocket.

His hair was neat and tidy, the silver at his temples adding a touch of scholarly elegance.

He looked like a casual visitor just out for a stroll.

Helena replied honestly, “Sir, I just started working here and don’t know much about the products yet. Can I arrange for someone else to help you?”

Every other staff member had more than a dozen clients in front of them; only she was free.

With no other choice, she stood with the old man for five minutes, but her eyes kept darting toward the lounge, afraid that Wilfred would find Josephine…

The old man smiled faintly and asked, “Miss, how many days have you been working here?”

Helena absentmindedly replied, “Six days.”

“Six days, and you haven’t memorized the specs of a single camera?”

“Hm?” Helena turned her head and saw the old man smiling and shaking his head as he walked away.

She didn’t give it a second thought.

She immediately turned and headed for the lounge as well.

The old man visited every booth at the expo without missing a single one, and finally arrived at ‘EternalCore Fab.‘

Josephine composed herself, masking her dejection, and walked over with a calm expression.

She immediately noticed that the fountain pen on the old man’s chest was unusual.

The small stone embedded in the pen cap was actually a hidden camera.

Josephine immediately lost much of her goodwill toward the old man.

She spoke bluntly and made her point clear:

“If you want to record, you can put the camera out in the open. The original intention behind developing the X2+ Chip was for judicial evidence collection. If it’s used for malicious secret filming, it would really hurt the developers‘ feelings.”

Theodore came over, looking for proof that the old man was secretly recording.

But he truly couldn’t see where a camera could be hidden.

The old man suddenly burst out laughing, took out a pen, and handed it to Josephine: “It’s

not on.”

Josephine checked it, and sure enough, it wasn’t turned on.

She returned the pen to the old man, but still didn’t let down her guard.

The old man said, “Walking around is quite tiring. May I come in and sit?”

Before Josephine could reply, Theodore stepped aside, making way for him.

After the old man sat down, Theodore brought him a glass of water.

He didn’t say a word, and walked away again with a cold demeanor.

Josephine felt the temperature of the water, and only placed it in front of the old man after making sure it wasn’t too hot.

“What? You… you’re the Executive Director of the Chip Innovation Alliance?” Josephine was shocked and pale.

The director’s influence in the chip industry was extraordinary.

He was responsible for the overall work of the semiconductor industry and for setting

Josephine never expected she would run into him.
