When Love Breaks (Josephine)

After watching the video and reading the comments, Josephine was so furious that she was at a loss for words.

She couldn't believe that she was being framed as the mastermind behind it all when she was the victim of the affair between Zayn and Nadine.

How could they twist the truth like that? Was there no justice left in the world?

"See? Zayn is completely innocent," the girl in front of her said smugly before unlocking her phone. Josephine was stunned to see that her lock screen was a picture of Zayn. And it had clearly been photoshopped and enhanced.

In the photo, Zayn stood on a street, smoking a cigarette. His black suit was sharp and tailored, emphasizing his deep eyes, high nose, and thin lips. His raised arm revealed defined muscles. The Maybach beside him didn't steal his shine-it only made him seem even more commanding and imposing.

Not only did Zayn's affair not earn him public outrage, but it had actually won him a whole group of fangirls.

Josephine bit her lip, her eyes burning with anger.

Just then, her phone rang, and the name flashing on the screen was Zayn.

She took a deep breath, stepped aside, and answered the call. "Zayn, you actually have the nerve to call me after hiring online trolls to slander me?"

"My dad was the one behind that. I had nothing to do with it. I've been busy transferring assets these past few days. Don't take it out on me."

"It's all the same. You're part of the Forbes family, so you're all in this together. Listen, I'm not as easy to bully as you think. If you push me too far, you'll regret it!" Josephine snapped.

Zayn let out a low chuckle. "Who said you were easy to bully? I don't care what others think, but as far as I'm concerned, you've got me completely under your thumb."

"You're shameless! Cheating on me and still pretending to be devoted?" Josephine was even angrier.

"I'll say this one more time. I didn't cheat." Zayn said with a cold tone.

Josephine rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. Even now, you still won't admit it? I have to admire how shameless you can be."

Zayn chuckled again. "Enough. Stop copying everyone else's insults. If all you can say is 'shameless', people might think we're just flirting."

"You-"

"Shh, don't get worked up. I need to ask you something. Who did you sell your shares to?"

So, that was why he called. Josephine scoffed. "Why should I tell you?"

"Come on, Josephine. This is important. My dad planned to transfer your shares to Yvan so he could rightfully take a chunk of

Forbes Group's assets. But your net

sudden sale of the shares caught him off guard, and it did me @huge fayor. Now I need to find out who bought them before my dad does."

Josephine understood immediately. "You want to buy the shares back?"

Zayn let out a disdainful laugh. "I'm

already transferring my assets. Why would I still want Forbes Group's shares? just want to be that person's strategist and help them take Forbes Group away from my dad and Yvan."

She was taken aback. She had always known that Zayn didn't get along with Yvan and Joe, but she hadn't expected him to plot against them, No matter what, they were stillnoveldrama

his father and brother. She can't

believe he would go to suck lengths.

"Be good. Tell me," Zayn said.

Josephine thought about everything Zayn had done for Forbes Group over the past three years and then about Joe's smear campaign against her. Biting her lip, she finally revealed a little bit of information.
