Chapter 1010
Josie’s wrist throbbed with pain, but she endured it, shouting loudly, “Justin! Don’t let your pride cloud
your judgment!”
As he opened the door, his movements abruptly halted. He asked, “In the end, will you return to the
Olsen family?”
Before Josie could respond, Justin had already stormed out, mming the door behind him.
Perhaps themotion was too loud. Morgan had a bad premonition after witnessing that scene. He
barged in directly. “Jo!”
Josie was half-lying on the bed, her brows furrowed in pain.
Morgan’s brow twitched, a pang of concern spreading through him. He stepped forward to check on her
condition. “Are you alright? Did Justin upset you?”
Josie didn’t let him touch her. He stood in the shadows, much like a child who had done something
wrong. “I’m sorry. It was my failure to execute your n properly that caused you harm.”
Josie raised her hand to cover her eyes, plunging herself into darkness. “After I left the airport, why
didn’t your peoplee to pick me up?”
“There was an ident. They’ve already been dealt with.”
“Justin and the others were deliberately let into the wedding venue by Dexter. Where were you at that
time?”
Morgan was at a loss for words, but he quickly added, “I know that whatever I say now is pointless. All
the me lies with me. However, fortunately, the oue is positive, isn’t it? Mark is already out of
danger and will wake up soon, and then…”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Josie.
“I should never have relied on anyone in the first ce. This isn’t your fault. It’s mine.” She sat up,
meeting his gaze. “Don’t take it to heart.”
She was too calm, a tranquility that deeply unsettled Morgan. He crouched down halfway. “If you’re
angry, let it out. Hit me, scold me, do whatever you want, just don’t be upset.”
Josie remained still.
Morgan approached her with longing in his eyes. “What are your ns after this? Will you return to the
Olsen family?”

He knew clearly that udia and Mark were just momentarily taken aback. Under no circumstances
would they abandon their own biological daughter.
Yet, as Josie stepped out of the hospital room, basking anew in the sunlight, she dered, “I am not
affiliated with anyone. I am simply on my own.”
Morgan’s silhouette, standing in the shadows, swayed slightly.
Outside, Calvin leaned against the wall, intending to light a cigarette, but up, his body radiating
frustration.
“I must see her,” he repeated to Mallory.
“I’m not stopping you. Go ahead, tell her all your grievances. See if she’ll go with you.” Mallory wore a
radiant smile.
Calvin, growing impatient, climbed up, barely holding back. “Something has happened to Russell
Group. If she doesn’t meet Dexter, once her shares are acquired, she won’t have it easy.”
Ever since the shocking scandal involving Heather broke out, Mark was hospitalized, leaving the Olsen
family leaderless. Their partnerships were dissolved, and Russell Group had to face not only the
onught of negative press but also the risk of a broken capital flow.
Even within thepany, there were those who watched the situation unfold covetously.
Dexter’s predicament was even more challenging than the most severe situation before. Those past
few days, he had been staying day and night at Russell Group without any spare time.
If, back then, Dexter hadn’t fueled the mes toplete Josie’s n, Russell Group wouldn’t have
ended up in that situation.
He was fully aware of the risks he would face, yet he still chose to proceed.
He gambled his entire fortune.
Upon hearing that, Mallory showed no reaction. “I’ve told you, you should speak to her yourself.”
Calvin narrowed his eyes. “She won’t listen to me. She might only listen to you.”
Mallory wanted to say that Josie wouldn’t listen to herself either, but she still smiled. “Beg me, Mr.
Barrett. When you ask for help, you should have the right attitude.”
