Josephine had been busy with the development of third - generation imaging chips in the past two months . So , she had barely come home . She'd never doubted Wilfred - until she saw Helena on top of him , wearing nothing but a nightgown . Wilfred's robe collar was half - open , his honey - toned chest peeking from under it Helena slid her hands inside , her voice light and teasing . " Get up , you lazy bones . Belinda's left for the kindergarten already , and you're still in bed ... " Wilfred gave a rare laugh . "That tickles . Stop it , Lena . I surrender , alright ? I'm getting up now . " Fred , admit it - I'm way sweeter and more considerate than Josephine , right ? " Josephine expected Wilfred to say no . 2881 After all , he had rather cut all ties with his family six years ago just to marry her . He even made a vow- " I'll burn in hell if I ever betray you , Josie . " The pain of his betrayal was so suffocating that she could barely breathe . Helena buried her face in Wilfred's chest , looking upset . " Fred , if only I could stay by your side forever . " Wilfred cooed , " What are you talking about , silly ? This will always be your home . " Helena's home ? Josephine smiled bitterly . Had Wilfred forgotten that this manor belonged to her ? In five years , she had earned her bachelor's , master's , and Ph.D. in semiconductor materials , and chip companies worldwide were vying for her . Wilfred had built Rose Manor according to her liking , and she was so moved . Otherwise , sh wouldn't have stayed in Vexford . A cold glint flashed in Josephine's eyes as she turned and walked downstairs . Zoey Dodson , the maid , greeted her , " Hello , Mrs. Hayden , you're back . " " Hi . " Josephine nodded but didn't slow her pace . She knew Helena and Wilfred were aware she was home . She'd be waiting for them in the living room . *** Josephine pulled up the surveillance footage , finally realizing Helena had been putting on an act , When she was at home , Helena played the part of the innocent , obedient sister . But once she was gone , Helena would drink from Wilfred's glass , hug him from behind , and even sleep with her head on his arm . Wilfred had never stopped her , showing no objection to her shameless oversteps . Chapter 1 : 288 Vouchers On top of that , Helena had affected Belinda . She kept encouraging Belinda to wear perfume and makeup , saying that was how a free , perfect childhood should be . Now , in Belinda's eyes , Helena was the best , and Josphine was nothing compared to her . " Josephine , let's go back to the room , and I'll explain everything to you , alright ? " Wilfred's deep , slightly cold voice rang out above Josephine's head . She looked up and saw him in his bespoke suit . At thirty , he remained the same tall , lean frame of his youth . His deep - set features , coupled with his always - calm , detached expression , gave his demeanor a certain charm . Standing next to him , Helena seemed even more petite . Biting her lip , she looked at Josephine with her doe - like eyes , seemingly perfectly innocent . Knowing he was in the wrong , Wilfred explained patiently , " Lena is my sister , and you're my wife . Don't get the wrong idea , Josephine . " " Fred's right , Josephine . We were just messing around . " " While you were on top of him ? " Josephine sneered .
