Josie glanced down at herself. “It's nothing. Just a kid causing trouble. I have to discipline him a bit.”
Juliette looked at Zach and the others, roughly understanding the situation. She sternly commanded the staff, “What are you standing around for? Call the police now!”
Just as Josie was about to speak, a voice suddenly echoed from behind. “Apologies. Allow me to handle this matter.”
She paused, turning around to find herself unexpectedly facing Laura. She was dressed in a practical manner, appearing travel-worn.
Upon seeing her, Josie immediately understood why Zach had such a peculiar expression on his face. She paused for a moment. “Hey, Laura.”
Laura nodded at her, then turned to Juliette and explained, “It's a family matter of the Olsen family. I apologize for any inconvenience, Ms. Witherspoon. Rest assured, I will handle this matter appropriately.”
“Household affairs?” Juliette asked, casting a puzzled yet somewhat understanding glance at Josie.
“Yes. I rushed over today specifically to apologize to you for the delay in our collaboration. This is a carefully chosen gift as a token of my apology. Please accept it.” Laura came prepared, carrying a gift in her hand, which she respectfully presented with both hands.
Josie understood the situation. She made a special trip to come here today.
Juliette didn't accept it, her enthusiasm somewhat faded. “That matter is already in the past,” she said. “I've signed the contract. It seems like your internal communication isn't very good.”
Her words carried an eerie undertone, her gaze lingering on Josie and Laura for a few moments. The former quietly explained, “Mark asked me to deliver the contract. It's all taken care of now.”
A myriad of emotions played across Laura's face, momentarily beyond her control.
Juliette took everything in, then found an excuse to leave.
For a moment, silence filled the grand hall. Zach, hands tucked in his pockets, stepped forward, his tone brusque. “When did you get back?”
As he spoke those words, Shirley couldn't help but step forward, attempting to grasp Zach's arm. However, with an impassive expression, Zach shrugged her off.
With a stern expression, Laura retorted, “Since when do I have to report to you about my comings and goings?”
