Chapter 970: Chapter 976

Exhausted, Josie opened his eyes. “I will never submit to you in this lifetime.”

“Stubborn as a mule.”

Heather casually pulled out her phone from her pocket. Flipping through the photo album, she showed her one picture after another. “The venue for tomorrow’s wedding has already been set up. Can you take a look for me? Is it beautiful?”

In the photograph, as far as the eye could see, there were white roses everywhere. A red carpet was laid out, exuding an aura of extravagant grandeur.

Josie turned her head.

Heather, however, insisted that she look. “Today, Dex came to accompany me through the process.

Look, his hand is resting on my waist. Isn’t it nice?”

Josie cast a glance, and indeed, Dexter was among them. His expression was indiscernible, but his mere presence there was enough to explain everything.

Did he… realize I have gone missing? Does he just not care…

“We will walk down this red carpet tomorrow under the watchful eyes of our guests,” Heather said slowly. “Our parents will give speeches at our wedding, and Dexter will start calling my parents Mom and Dad. We will become a family.”

When Josie heard that, her previously calm emotions shattered. She finally responded, “You really have no shame.”

“You’re the shameless one!” Heather was livid, forcefully lifting her chin to make her look at her. “The wedding tomorrow will be broadcast live. I’ll make you watch Dex put the wedding ring on my finger and recite the wedding vows with me. Everything you failed to obtain, I will have. What you’ve obtained, I will also secure for myself.”

After saying that, Heather abruptly let go of Josie, straightened up, and left.

Upon leaving the factory, Johnny followed, his mood somewhat heavy.

“What happened?”

Johnny swallowed hard. “Tomorrow, are we really going to deal with her?”

“If not? If you don’t deal with her, she will come after me.” Heather raised her voice. “You are scared!”

“No… Heather, I just… I just felt it wasn’t necessary. You’re already married. She can’t cause any more trouble. Did you really have to go that far?”

“You truly have a soft spot for women,” Heather stated, devoid of any trace of fear. “Do you even know who she is? For all these years, she has taken everything from me. If she escapes, all my efforts will have been in vain!”

Johnny nodded, his expression still somewhat conflicted.

“Johnny, when I saved you back then, I didn’t think too much about it. Now that I’m asking for a favor in return, are you unwilling?” Heather’s expression suddenly softened.

Johnny immediately shook his head. “Of course, that’s not what I meant. I will repay your life-saving favor. As soon as the wedding ceremony ends tomorrow, I will take care of it.”

Upon seeing the situation, Heather gave a slight nod before turning around to leave.

“Heather,” he called again.

“Is there anything else?”

The bald man scratched his head. “Uh… Happy wedding.”

Upon hearing these words, Heather finally broke into a smile. “Hmm.”

She retraced her steps, necessitating a journey through a mountain path. The silence here was so profound that it was frightening. She trod carefully, and only when she finally saw the lights of Olsen Residence did she feel somewhat at ease.

The back door of Olsen Residence led to the rear mountain. The housekeeper lingered in the back door for a long time, finally hearing a sound. It was the noise of a walking stick striking the ground, gradually drawing closer.

The door swung open, revealing Mark’s figure.

“Mr. Olsen, why did you go out?” The housekeeper approached him.

Mark’s expression was as solemn as ever. “I couldn’t sleep last night, so I went to the back mountain to clear my mind.”

“Are you alone? The forest behind the mountain is too dangerous.”

With a deep sigh, Wen Mark said, “Could you help me back to my room to rest?”

The housekeeper glanced outside, and after a slight pause, she responded, “All right.”
