Chapter 329 Being the Mistress Laura suddenly recalled who she was and looked at her.
Meanwhile, Josie heard noises and was about to leave the inner room. However, she noticed Lauraâs hand gestures to her and kept silent.
Laura watched the person take out a red ring box froin her pocket. She approached Laura and opened it âI woke up this morning and found it on the bedside table. I imagine you will need it today, so I did not delay and brought it here. Would you like to check it?â
The woman was clever with her words and quickly outlined a narrative that stirred peopleâs curiosity.
She obviously had no plan to explain but added suggestively, âDonât tell Zach about me being here. He would be angry if he knew.â
The ring box contained a menâs ring. Laura bought it on her own. Although it was not expensive, Zach cherished the ring when she gave it to him.
Laura stood still. Josie looked at her and thought she would be furious. Unexpectedly, she accepted the ring from the woman and thanked her politely. âThank you for coming over. You could have called me, and I would have gone to you to collect it.â
-Josie was astounded by Lauraâs calmness. Her past self would have torn the woman to shreds by now.
âYou should know that he canât stand loneliness. Do you think he will see me again after you marry him? Honestly, I donât mind being his mistress.â The woman smiled smugly.
Josie was stunned by what she heard. Why are all the mistresses so shameless these days?
However, Laura remained unmoved. âSure, I suppose you will come to show off again.â
The woman left.
Josie came out of the inner room nervously, but Laura still showed no hint of sadness. âAbout just now....
Zach came in before Josie could speak further. She immediately fell silent.
He said, âLaura, ihe wedding is about to begin. It might get tiring later.â
Laura gave him the ring. âYou have been searching for this for days. Someone brought it here just now. Donât you think you should explain?â
Josie did not expect Laura to be so direct about the matter.
Zach was stunned. He looked down and accepted the ring before wearing it on his ring finger. Im sorry. She called me over that day. I was careless and left it there. It wonât happen again.â
Laura smiled.
After Zach left, Josie held Lauraâs arm and asked, âWhy werenât you angry?â
âWhatâs the point of being angry?â Laura replied. âIâm not in the position where I can afford to be angry with him.â
Zach and Lauraâs parents did not show up for their wedding.
Being the Mistress Laura walked down the aisle alone and stood beside Zach. It was supposed to be a moving scene, but Josie thought it looked tragic. She looked at the honest-looking man strangely and sensed he was not as nice as he portrayed himself.
âWhy does it feel like she had gone out of the frying pan and into the fire?â Josie muttered softly.
Arnold was peeling an orange beside her. âIt would be nice if you had thought like this before marrying Dexter.
Josie did not hold back from slapping his arm in anger. âShut up if you have nothing nice to say.â
However, Arnold smiled lovingly and stuffed a slice of orange in her mouth. âDonât worry. At least Zach will help her resolve her crisis.â
Meanwhile, a man seated adjacent to them watched the scene unfold. His secretary stood beside him and said nervously, âMr.
Russell, should I âLet her be, Dexter ordered sternly and stared at them. His gaze darkened as he sipped wine.
