Chapter 906 Released For Medical Treatment Heather gritted her teeth and frantically searched for an exit. Feeling utterly insecure, she was desperate to know what Josie had done.
That was what Josie wanted.
In the study, the director had finished reporting on all aspects of Russell Group. Only after hearing Dexterâs orderly arrangements did he finally feel at ease.
âMr. Lockhart, thank you for making the trip.â Dexter poured a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Seth Lockhart.
âIndeed, if it werenât for Ms. Olsen, I wouldnât even know Mr. Russell is here.â
Dexter made no comment.
Suddenly, Seth remembered something. âThatâs right. Something has happened at the Carter Group.â
Dexter raised an eyebrow. A familiar figure outside caught his attention. It was Josie, striding through the corridor with her shoulder bag and poised demeanor.
Seth did not notice the unusual behavior of Dexter and continued, âEdward has been released for medical treatment.â
Suddenly, Dexter turned back to him.
News of Edwardâs release on medical grounds caused quite a stir among many in their social circle. Despite his many years in prison, Edward had never managed to secure his release. Yet, now, he had suddenly succeeded.
And this happened after Henry passed away.
When Josie learned of the news, she had already left the Russell Mansion.
She had just stepped out when she received a call from Laura who invited her to have a meal together.
âIt seems that the matter is already settled. Arnold has somehow pulled some strings and actually managed to bail his father out.
Mark was the first to know about this.â
Leaning back in her chair, Josiered deep in thought. âIâve heard before that Arnold has connections with people in the city. Could it be...â
Laura understood and shook her head. âAfter all these years, if he wanted to succeed, he would have done so already. He wouldnât have waited until now.â
Why now? Henry has just passed away, and Arnold chooses this moment to get Edward out of prison. Itâs clear as day that heâs trying to humiliate Dexter.
Suddenly, Josie recalled what Arnold had said that day He had promised to rescue Edward right in front of Dexter.
They actually managed to do it so quickly.
Transfer of benetis must have been involved in this.
111 1/2 âStormâs brewing in Wavery,â Laura said as she sliced a piece of steak and placed it on Josieâs plate. âGive it some thought, and decide who you should align yourself with.â
Upon hearing that, Josie scoffed, âSo, I must rely on others to survive, is that it?â
Laura waved her knife and fork. âNo matter which side succeeds, youâll end up the worst off.â
There was some truth to that statement. After all, she had managed to offend all the people she should not have.
Josie gave a bitter smile as a memory surfaced. âHow is Summer?â
âShe has now completely given up on the Olsen familyâs business and handed it over to Arnold to manage. Sheâs acting like a hands-off manager, a true socialite.â
In fact, that was quite a good way to go.
What Josie recalled was that day at the art gallery when Summer behaved hysterically toward Arnold. She had said then she wanted Josie to disappear.
Logically speaking, since Josie had already divorced Dexter, Summer should be resentful toward Heather and not herself.
Yet, she still directed her anger at Josie.
âWhat are you thinking about?â
âLaura, do you believe in blood ties?â Josie suddenly asked.
Laura frowned. âIn what way?â
âTelepathic connection.â
âOf course, it will always be the case for blood relations.â
âReally?â Josie was skeptical. She and Summer could be considered as close as sisters. Yet, right from the beginning, the two of them hated one another mutually, and there was no sense of connection.
She did have feelings for Claudia and for Mark as well.. but she did not know if they felt the same about her.
With that in mind, Josie let out another bitter laugh.
âI saw Heather today.â
