Chapter 383 Owing A Favor Dexter didnât personally sign the contract. The supposed leader from the overseas company was scht instead.
When Josie faced Wyattâs team, she saw how disappointed they were and felt upset. She forced a smile and consoled them.
âDonât worry. We will still have opportunities in the future.â
She looked at Wyatt again. He hadnât shown up for a few days. Even though there was a solution to their problem, he must have felt bad too.
What else could they do?
âWhat a close call. How tragic,â Laura said on the phone to Josie as she looked at the news on the Internet.
The articles were poorly written. Some ridiculed Wyattâs company for being small, so it wasnât a pity to be acquired.
Some media took photos of Josieâs side profile as she left under the protection of others. It didnât make many waves because no one knew who she was. When Dexterâs secretary saw it, she quickly instructed the public relations team to take it down.
Josie had a splitting headache and didnât want to say a word.
Laura followed the situation and didnât think it was a big deal. She laughed lightly as she asked, âDid you cheat on Dexter to make him like this?â
Emotions finally stirred in Josie. âI cheated? Have you not seen his rumored partners?â
âOh, thatâs right.â
Josie wanted to hang up.
Laura sensed Josie was in a bad mood and stopped teasing her. âDonât worry. When I can finally use the Olsen familyâs power one day, Iâll help you make a comeback.â
Laura was vowing solemnly, and Josie couldnât help but laugh. She couldnât bear to tease Laura. âAlright. Iâll wait for you to rescue me.â
âBut since weâre talking about it, where does the Olsen familyâs power lie?â
âYou know who your enemy is but donât know your enemyâs power,â Laura told Josie that her familyâs debt was immediately cleared after she married Zach. The family had substantial financial resources and had been rich for generations. âWaveryâs most valuable ports and land areas belong to the Olsen family.â
Josie understood. Russell had previously told her the Russell family owned a lot of land in Wavery. The Olsen family must have owned half of what remained.
Laura didnât tell Josie certain things because she feared Josie would be angry.
She didnât understand the business world, but she knew that if Josie revealed it to the media and admitted to being Mrs. Russell, it would be payback to Dexter. Then, regardless of the response, Arnold would have the opportunity to catch a breath. Perhaps he could even.... overcome the malicious acquisition.
But Laura didnât do so. Even when Dexter suggested it to Josie, she didnât want him to make their marriage public.
It seemed like Josie had decided not to let the outside world know she was connected to him.
Josie didnât contact Arnold. He sent her a message of his own accord. You donât have to contact me for the time being. I will deal with it.
He didnât mention the one billion at all...
She made a mental note. Not only did she owe Arnold money, but she also owed him a huge favor.
She didnât return to Mason Garden.
Even if she wanted to return, she couldnât do it now. Even if she failed, she couldnât let Dexter see her as a joke.
Heaven on Earth was as lively as usual. No matter what was happening outside, it could be forgotten in Heaven on Earth.
Everyone could just indulge in worldly pleasures.
Josie kept drinking. It was as though she felt nothing and desperately wanted to get drunk.
It attracted Calvinâs attention.
He frowned when he looked at her. âWhat happened? Did Dex bully you?â
Josie put down her glass heavily and pointed with her finger. She wanted to say something but couldnât say a word.
Calvin guessed that she wanted to swear.
He couldnât convince her, so he wondered if he should call Dexter.
