Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1030

Angel couldn't bring herself to meet Josie's eyes as she added, "Furthermore, I always sensed something off about Ryan's behavior. There's a high chance that he has malicious intentions. And by 'you', I mean you."

Ryan's boss was actually Morgan, the one who seemed strange.

Josie had noticed all of this. How could someone who fought their way back from abroad to Rivodia and took control of the family be as simple as they appeared on the surface?

The elevator reached the first floor and its doors slowly opened. Seeing Josie remain silent, Angel grew worried. "Ms. Jo..."

Regaining her composure, Josie took a deep breath. "I understand now. Thank you for telling me."

Angel followed her out of the elevator, saying as they walked, "Ms. Jo, I've heard about what's been happening recently. I just want you to be okay, to not be deceived by others anymore, and to live a good life."

These sincere words touched Josie's heart, leaving a bitter taste in her mouth. Only when she turned around did she realize that there were hardly any people by her side who hadn't deceived her. The world is full of deception and exploitation, a realm of fame and gain that is completely corrupt.

The next day, she arranged to meet with Laura.

In the elegant cafe, Laura had reserved a spot early on, but she arrived fashionably late.

As Josie sipped her second cup of coffee, Laura finally pushed the door open and entered. "Hey, Josie."

Josie looked up and was startled to see Zach waiting outside, impatiently lighting a cigarette.

She averted her gaze and calmly stated, "It seems your marriage has significantly improved."

Laura looked somewhat embarrassed as she sat down. "The Olsen family has been very busy lately, and I haven't had much time. I could only ask him to drop me off. I wouldn't have done it if I had any other choice," she said.

Josie caught onto the keywords. "Very busy?"

"Yes, you can probably imagine how complicated things have become after Russell Group and the Olsen family's downfall. Mark is still in the hospital."
