    As she watched those people show off and act all fancy, Josie finally felt a sense of relief as the project


    had concluded smoothly, without any mishaps.

    Josie spent most of her time in Mason Garden, keeping her fatherpany, and asionally visited


    the Russell Group to support Dexter while he worked.


    Today, she feigned exhaustion and used it as an excuse to avoid preparing for the Russell Group’s


    annual meeting.


    Josie yfully said to Dexter, “I’m exhausted. Spare me, please.”


    And Dexter smiled and indulgently rubbed her nose before letting her off the hook.


    On the day of the annual meeting, she attended it alongside Dexter.


    Even though they dressed modestly, their status naturally drew attention.


    Many people came to offer toasts, and Josie confidently called out each person’s name as they


    approached. She exuded theposure expected of Mrs. Russell, even when Dexter wasn’t by her


    side.


    The emcee on stage was the most notable project owner from one of Russell Group’s investments this


    year.


    Sporting an enchanting smile, she spoke with eloquence and


    grace.


    Sitting next to Josie in the front row, she suddenly added, “Guess what? Our project’s investor isn’t only


    Mr. Russell but Mrs. Russell too. And on theunch day, he bought the first batch of products,


    especially for her.”


    Josie smiled knowingly, catching the full implication it meant that even Mr. Russell was treated as a


    guest during their productunch.


    The emcee’s choice of words was clever, subtly turning the tables on Russell Group at their very own


    event.


    “Yes,” Josie took the microphone. She added, “when your husband first came to our house to discuss


    the investment with Dex and me, I was already blown away by the project’s innovation. He spent half


    an hour exining the concept, and Dex took only a minute to sign and agree to invest.”


    As Josie delivered her words, her polished manner and eloquence left a strong impression on everyone


    present, and they exchanged subtle nces, recognizing her wit and skillful presentation.

    promote the project. At the same time, Dexter’s quick decision to be on board. showcased their


    enthusiasm. It was a shrewd move that clearly demonstrated who had the advantage.

    revealed her displeasure.


    Rumor had it that Josiecked influential connections and came from an ordinary. background, leading


    some to believe she was easily influenced. Little did they know that Josie was like a rose with thorns a


    gentle exterior hiding a fierce spirit. Prick her a little, and she’d prove her strength.


    Shortly after, Dexter returned to stand beside Josie.


    Having heard her speech and witnessed the room’s amazed reaction earlier, he couldn’t help. but feel


    an immense sense of pride as he observed the woman he had mentored now basking in the spotlight.


    Dexter felt reassured, knowing that Josie would stand up for him. They held hands, their understanding


    of each other’s emotions flowing effortlessly without the need for extensive words.


    The annual meeting hit its midpoint, and the music invited everyone to the dance floor. Amidst the


    festive atmosphere, someone teasingly suggested that Mr. and Mrs. Russell share a dance. Blushing


    slightly, Josie softly replied, “I don’t know how to dance…”


    With numerous eyes on them, Dexter calmly held her hand and offered, “My wife isn’t


    feelingfortable dancing today. But if everyone’s willing, how about we present a musical piece


    instead?”


    Josie nced up, intrigued.


    “Woohoo!” The crowd burst into apuse.


    Guiding her to the stage’s piano, Dexter heard Josie whisper, “Can you y the piano?”


    She waspletely unaware of his piano-ying ability.


    Dexter gently squeezed her hand, “Moonlight Sonata, shall we?”
