When the time comes, I will provide some resources from my project to assist you. That way, you can live the same lifestyle as during your marriage. You wonât have to worry about money.â

Xantheâs expression darkened. That was in the past. The situation has changed.â
âYes, it has changed. News about Summer preparing to take over the Olsen family business causes many people to panic. Even you are one of them.â

Xanthe avoided Josieâs gaze.
âMs. Quorn, what you say to me now is no different from what Summer told me. It seems you two are doing everything to make me divorce Dexter,â
Xanthe was running out of patience.
Before she could say anything, Josie said with much difficulty, âSince that is the case, give the documents to me. Iâll think about it.â

âShouldnât you at least give me a few days to consider?â Josie smiled bitterly.

She closed her eyes. âPlease leave. I need to rest.â
Xanthe snorted coldly and quickly left the ward.
Mallory returned from outside and bumped into Xanthe, who was leaving. The two exchanged glances. Suddenly, Mallory snorted and said, âWho knew an upper-class lady would stoop so low as to pressure a severely injured patient? I wonder what the public would say if they knew this.â
However, Xanthe was arrogant, thinking that she had a trump card. âMind your own business.â
Mallory did not reply but watched Xanthe and her entourage leave. Then, she rushed to Josieâs ward and saw her sitting on the bed, solemnly looking out the window.
Mallory half kneeled before Josie. âAre you okay? Did she do anything to you?â
