Chapter 277 She Has Another Son
Josie turned around and reciprocated Yanis with a superficial smile, “Hi, Uncle Yanis What a
coincidence. 1 was supposed toe around and say hi to you, but I had.
Yanis waved off her concern and shed a smile. “What brings you here? I see Wyatt came along with
you’
“Yeah.”
From the corner of his eye, Yanis noticed Moses, who had been following Josie, casually indulging in
dessert. Catching Yanis’s gaze, Moses indolently lifted his eyes and locked gazes, showing no hint of
fear
“Why didn’t you inform me about your visit to Rivodia? I could have made arrangements for you. And
what about Dex? Did hee with you too?”
Josie shed a smile but didn’t utter a word. At that moment, her understanding of Yanis deepened. He
wasn’t as gentle as he portrayed himself; he was clearly a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I’m only staying for
a few days. And Uncle, I thought you were supposed to be recovering in Wavery?”
Rumors had it that Yanis had already retired, so why was he attending such a dull and insignificant
event? Could he still have other business ventures under his belt? Moreover, considering his age, why
would Yanis personally grace such a mundane banquet?
Rumors were circting that Yanis had already retired, so why was he attending such a dull and
insignificant event? Could he still have other business endeavors in progress? Moreover, considering
his age, why would Yanis bother showing up at such a mundane banquet?
“Shall we have a chat?”
Yanis’ gesture implied that he was willing to answer her doubts.
Josie tightened her grip on her cup, a flicker of emotion passing through her eyes as she acquiesced to
his
request.
The conversation took ce in a tea room, with Moses left outside. Yanis wore an indifferent
expression, clearly defining his role as a spectator.
“Dex is treating you well. Some things that others can’t achieve even after ten years of hard work, you
effortlessly obtain,” Yanis personally poured tea for Josie, who quickly reached out to ept it, sensing
a trace of bitterness in his words.
“Uncle, you should know that having influential connections can sometimese in handy.”
Josie’sment had a teasing tone, prompting Yanis to squint and chuckle.
He pointed with his finger, “Heard you came to Rivodia today for some financing?”
Josie remained silent, bringing the teacup to her lips and blowing gently.
Yanis showed no embarrassment or fear in revealing his intentions, as if he were confident that Josie
wouldn’t divulge their conversation to anyone.
“Jo,” the old man sighed softly. “I’ve heard about Dex’s mother.”
“You’ve got keen ears. Heard about something that happened so long ago.”

“If I want to know something, nothing can stop me.”
“Anything else?” She suppressed her smile.
“That woman is conniving and crude. Dex shouldn’t have helped her and gone through all this trouble
for
her son.”
Josie narrowed her eyes and stood motionless. “Her son?”
“Don’t you know? Dex isn’t her only child.”
Josie was left speechless, utterly shocked. Xanthe had another son… Could that be the reason why
Dexter kept this information hidden from her?
“Where is he now?”
Yanis simply smiled, refusing to provide any further answers.
After a brief moment, Josie tilted her head slightly, catching the delightful aroma of the tea with a touch
of bitterness. She shed a smile and asked, “Uncle, what kind of tea is this?”
Yanis wasn’t clueless and finally broached the subject. “Did you know that most of the guests attending
the banquet today have business ties with the Carter family?”
Josie raised an eyebrow. This was news to her.
If true. Arnold wouldn’t easily allow the Russell family to secure their financing. Dexter knew in
advance. that Wyatt wasing to Rivodia. So why didn’t he intervene? Did he deliberately let them
go through all this trouble for no apparent reason?
