Chapter 955
Josie looked up, a bit surprised. “I’m actually amazed that you’re willing to give me the dog, considering
the significant conflict between your daughter and me. Aren’t you afraid she’ll cause trouble when she
finds out?”
It was the end of autumn, with sunlight pouring down and a cool breeze blowing through, gently lifting
Josie’s hair. udia looked at her as if she were looking at an old friend.
After a moment, udia turned to Josie and said, “There aren’t many people in this world who truly
understand me. You are one of them. I don’t want to second-guess or doubt such people. I trust my
own judgment.”
Josie was taken aback for a moment, then realized that this was an affirmation—an affirmation from
her own mother.
Her voice choked up for a moment, but she quickly spoke again, “If therees a day when I do
something you can’t understand, something that disappoints you, what would you do? Would you hate
me?”
Upon hearing these words, udia’s lips parted slightly, and after a long moment, she sighed.
“Perhaps you have your reasons too.”
From udia’s perspective, Josie’s life had been too harsh. Her daughter had brought an end to her
marriage with Dexter, and now she had no choice but to watch him remarry.
She felt guilty towards Josie.
But what udia didn’t know was that these were not the things that Josie felt most aggrieved about.
Upon hearing udia’s response, Josie understood and led Pepper to the other side.
At the end of the street, there was a vast expanse of azure sea. Josie’s figure appeared frail and
delicate. udia looked on and suddenly spoke, “Jo.”
Josie’s back stiffened.
“Please don’t show up on the fifteenth. Consider it thest favor I’m asking of you.”
When udia uttered these words, even she was surprised. It was as if there was a premonition in the
air that Josie would definitely show up that day.
So, she made such a request.
This time, Josie didn’t turn around or respond. She just walked away slowly, leading the dog.

On the way back, the driver, who had been serving the Olsen family for decades, nced at the
rearview mirror. “Why didn’t you ask earlier?”
“What is it?” udia closed her eyes to rest.
“Ask her… why she is here. Our people traced Miss’s ssmate all the way to this ce, and you
happened to run into her. It’s such a coincidence.”
udia remained silent as she listened. She had wanted to ask the question earlier, but when Josie
mentioned that she had grown up here, udia just dropped the idea. For a moment, she didn’t know
whether to call it a coincidence or if she was being too meticulous.
“Where is Ruby?”
“We couldn’t find her, so we are currently verifying if there’s an error in the clue.”
udia slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurry. “She has already been taken away.”
“Ah…”
“Send a team to River City. They must find her for me before the fifteenth.”
…
Russell Group.
Dexter’s meetings for the day had finally ended. The secretary’s office staff approached him. “Mr.
Russell, Ms. Olsen has arrived.”
He flicked his eyelids, his voice slightly cold. “What does she want?”
The other party was taken aback, thinking that Dexter seemed quite indifferent towards his fiancée.
Outside the conference room, Heather had been waiting for a long time. Today, she was dressed in a
white dress, draped with a chic jacket, looking very elegant and dignified. Seeing the figure of the man,
she approached him with a smile. “Dex, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Dexter calmly avoided her outstretched hand and walked towards the elevator. “It’s already quitete.
Why are you here?”
Heather’s face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly smiled again. “I saw the photos sent by the tailor
this morning. Your suit looks very well-fitting. I came specifically to pick it up and thought I’d wait for you
to finish work.”
