    Chapter 224 Looking at Him


    Josie kept quiet. She didn’t want such a role.


    Jesse sized up the woman before her, who was as quiet as a mouse, and felt that Josie was quite


    elegant. As a woman herself. Jesse didn’t feel like a failure after losing to someone like Josie. Jesse


    was just jealous of Josic.


    After finishing a cigarette, Jesse furrowed her brows. “You’re so calm. Aren’t you afraid that I will reveal


    it to the media?”


    “You won’t.”


    “Why?”


    “Because it would be beneficial to me.”


    Josie was right. Jesse stared at her. “What if I deliberately defame you?”


    “Dexter won’t let you do such a thing.”


    “Heh. You have no fear.


    Jesse walked past her and said, “I don’t dare touch you, but I’m waiting for your fall from grace.”


    Josie smiled faintly. She reached out to adjust her fringe and didn’t answer Jesse.

    Laura was also present at this year’s annual meeting. Her elders had personally brought her along.


    She didn’t have a great family background. Everyone was astonished when they saw her at the annual


    meeting. Their emotions were unclear.


    As Dexter walked around, Laura stuck to him incessantly. She sat at one side and waited patiently


    while he spoke to others. Those who didn’t know her thought that she had feelings for him, but those


    who did. know that she was like a younger sister to Dexter. The Russell family wouldn’t ept an


    illegitimate daughter.


    Dexter was a gracious host, and he didn’t express his annoyance. He couldn’t help but remind her


    softly. “Laura, you’re a guest today. I’ll entertain you next time. I can’t attend to you simultaneously on


    such an


    asion.”


    Lauraughed coyly when she saw that he initiated a conversation with her, “I saw that woman just


    now, and I felt annoyed. I don’t want you to be with her on such an asion. Do you understand, Mr.


    Russell?”


    Dexter raised his eyes and looked for Josie. She wasn’t around.


    “I won’t do such a thing. The two hadn’t spoken for a few days since that day. They returned to Mason


    Garden separately.


    “Really? You’re still rational, Mr. Russell. I thought you would be impulsive and publicly announce your


    marriage. You announced it at the celebration dinnerst time. The whole world will know if you


    announce it at the annual meeting this time.” Laura taunted.


    “If you continue talking, you will be embarrassed.” Dexter retorted calmly.


    Laura felt anxious and grieved. “I still don’t understand. Why? Why isn’t it Summer? How is she inferior


    to that woman? Must you degrade yourself like this?”


    Dexter’s expression was grim. He took a ss of wine from a waiter and handed it to her. “Are you


    sure you want to continue?”


    Laura froze. She didn’t dare to provoke this man further. “In any case, I’m going to stay with you


    tonight. I want to keep watch over you for Summer’s sake.”


    Dexter didn’t take to heart her immature actions. He put the winess down. Before he left, he said,


    “Take care of yourself instead.”


    It was a busy day. Josie had been upied the whole day and finally had time to rest. She found a


    quiet porch and enjoyed the chilly breeze.


    She felt much more clear-headed. She held a bottle of wine and drank from it repeatedly without


    looking at the lively scene behind her. She felt like there was a void in her heart that couldn’t heal no


    matter what.


    Josie.”


    She didn’t know when Ivy had appeared behind her. She turned, and a cold breeze swept her hair.


    “What’s wrong? Aren’t you busy enough, Ms. Miller?” Josie’s voice was slightly sarcastic.


    “Get a divorce with Mr. Russell. He will agree if you insist,” Ivy said solemnly. “I know you have troubles


    at home. I can help you, but you must divorce him.”
