Chapter 574 She Left First After Summer left, Josie continued sitting in the lounge for quite a while. It was her third time in the Olsen Groupâs hotel, but she had never carefully observed the furnishings here.
The furnishings of the hotel were luxurious but not extravagant. Its elegant style corresponded to Claudiaâs taste.
Mark must love her a lot. If Liana were still around, maybe she wouldnât have to stay in the monastery and isolate herself from the outside world.
At this thought, Josie smiled ruefully.
She wanted to go and find Laura but accidentally sprained her ankle when she stood up. Her heels broke, which left her in an inconvenient state. She looked around the lounge in exasperation, but there was no one she could seek help from.
Just then, Claudia walked into the lounge, surrounded by a few other ladies. She lifted her eyes and noticed the helpless girl, who looked completely different from her confident self just now.
âMrs. Olsen, sheâsâ¦â Her companion asked when they saw her gazing at Josie hesitantly.
âNothing. Go ahead. Iâll come later.â Claudia sent her companions away and walked up to Josie. âWhat Happened?â
Josie was startled when she heard the voice and became nervous to see Claudia. âIâ¦â
Claudia was observant and quickly noticed her broken high heels. âWait for me here.â
Josie was upset as she watched Claudia walk away. Although Claudia was Summerâs mother, their personalities were completely different. Josie felt apologetic toward Claudia for disrupting her daughterâs major occasions repeatedly.
Not long after Claudia left, Josieâs phone vibrated. She was relieved, thinking Dexter had texted. To her shock, it was a message consisting of a picture. In the picture, a man dressed in home wear was pressing. his body against a woman on the bed. He placed one hand on the womanâs chest while kissing her neck.
It was obviously a couple who were madly in love. The manâs side profile could be seen clearly.
Instantly, Josieâs feet felt like jelly. She tightened her grip on the phone. The man in the picture was so familiar that she could recognize him at one glance.
Gulping, she enlarged the picture to confirm her perception. There were no traces of the picture being digitally edited; the two people in the picture looked natural.
The ID which sent the message was one from Wavery. Josie called the number immediately, but no one answered.
â Just then, Laura came down from upstairs with a coat over her shoulder. She walked up to Josie and said, âIâm leaving now. Come with me.â
Josie was still standing in a daze at the spot.
âHey, Josie. Are you okay?â Laura waved at Josie. Only then did Josie regain her composure. âWhat is it?â
âI said Iâm leaving. Letâs go together.â
O Josie unlocked her phone screen and mumbled, âI-Iâm waiting for Dexter.â
âThe men are busy socializing, and it wonât end that soon. Why donât you come with me to check out the house?â
âOkay.â Josie was filled with complicated emotions. She felt light-headed and wished to leave the place as soon as possible.
âOh, your heels are broken.â Laura exchanged her shoes with Josie before the two left the hotel together.
By the time Claudia rushed back to the place after asking for a pair of sandals from the server, Josie was nowhere to be seen.
Dejected, Claudia noticed the heels Josie left on the floor. She instructed the server to keep them away and wrote down an address, âGet them fixed and send them to this address.â
