Chapter 1030
Angel couldn’t bring herself to meet Josie’s eyes as she added, “Furthermore, I always sensed
something off about Ryan’s behavior. There’s a high chance that he has malicious intentions. And by
‘you’, I mean you.”
Ryan’s boss was actually Morgan, the one who seemed strange.
Josie had noticed all of this. How could someone who fought their way back from abroad to Rivodia
and took control of the family be as simple as they appeared on the surface?
The elevator reached the first floor and its doors slowly opened. Seeing Josie remain silent, Angel grew
worried. “Ms. Jo…”
Regaining herposure, Josie took a deep breath. “I understand now. Thank you for telling me.”
Angel followed her out of the elevator, saying as they walked, “Ms. Jo, I’ve heard about what’s been
happening recently. I just want you to be okay, to not be deceived by others anymore, and to live a
good life.”
These sincere words touched Josie’s heart, leaving a bitter taste in her mouth. Only when she turned
around did she realize that there were hardly any people by her side who hadn’t deceived her. The
world is full of deception and exploitation, a realm of fame and gain that ispletely corrupt.
The next day, she arranged to meet with Laura.
In the elegant cafe, Laura had reserved a spot early on, but she arrived fashionablyte.
As Josie sipped her second cup of coffee, Laura finally pushed the door open and entered. “Hey,
Josie.”
Josie looked up and was startled to see Zach waiting outside, impatiently lighting a cigarette.
She averted her gaze and calmly stated, “It seems your marriage has significantly improved.”
Laura looked somewhat embarrassed as she sat down. “The Olsen family has been very busytely,
and I haven’t had much time. I could only ask him to drop me off. I wouldn’t have done it if I had any
other choice,” she said.
Josie caught onto the keywords. “Very busy?”
“Yes, you can probably imagine howplicated things have be after Russell Group and the
Olsen family’s downfall. Mark is still in the hospital.”
As Laura spoke thetter half of the sentence, she cautiously nced at Josie. “During this time, you
haven’t visited the two elders even once. Could it be that—”
“No.” Josie knew what Laura wanted to ask. “In everything I’ve done, I never intended to live as Liana.”
“In that case, why did you do it?”
“I wanted justice.”
In fact, Laura had no idea that Josie had known her true identity all along. She assumed that this
woman was simply stubborn and foolish.
With a hint of embarrassment, Laura tugged at her lips. “Let’s not talk about that. I heard about what
you did yesterday. You really saved Dexter. That was impressive.”
Josie didn’t care about that. Instead, she continued to inquire about the situation of the Olsen family.
Laura paused again before saying, “Just like Russell Group, gued by internal conflicts and external
threats, my abilities are limited. I can only do my best to prevent them. Are you asking because you
want to return? If so, you should talk to udia. She would agree.”
She spoke quickly, eager to gauge Josie’s attitude as if she was worried about being suspected of
something.
Josie shook her head and looked into Laura’s eyes. “I have no intention of returning to the Olsen family.
We’ve been friends for two years, so you should know my character. Everything I’ve done is not out of
a desire topete for anything. I just want to ask you to please manage the Olsen family in ce of
Mark. You have the ability, and I trust youpletely.”
Those words left Laura momentarily stunned. She hadn’t expected Josie to say something like that, nor
had she thought that Josie truly didn’t care about anything rted to the Olsen family.

Laura was somewhat surprised. “Do you know how much the Olsen family’s assets are worth?”
“I know.”
“Summer was desperate to have it. Are you sure you don’t want it?”
Josie shook her head in response.
