Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1259

As Claudia spoke, she walked over to Josie. Her voice then became notably gentler.

“Are you okay?”

Mixed emotions brewed within Josie. “I didn't do, so I'm fine.”

Claudia turned around to face Ava directly. Her first words were, “Young lady, I've met you before.”

“Mrs. Olsen...” Ava's heart sank to rock bottom.

“Two years ago, I gave you a large sum of money in my son's condominium and asked you to leave him. You accepted the money and agreed to my terms. Yet, you stayed by his side and demanded more money by using pregnancy as an excuse.”

With every word from Claudia, the color drained from Ava's face. In the face of such immense pressure, she couldn't utter a word of denial.

“If it weren't for me insisting that you get an amniocentesis, we would never have known that the child you carried wasn't my son's.”

Following that single statement, the crowd plunged into an uproar. Whoa! A honey trap!

“What's this? You raked in money hand over fist, yet it was still insufficient? Now, you're even trying your tactics on my daughter.”

Claudia's mention of the word “daughter” rolled off her tongue with such ease and familiarity that Josie was almost too stunned to react.

Ava's face flushed bright red, but she insisted, “Regardless of whatever happened in the past, the fact remains that the bangle was found in your daughter's handbag now.”

Claudia gave a slight nod, then turned and motioned at the subordinate she brought along. “Check the bangle and see if it's worth millions.”

Before she came over, she had already learned of the entire situation and purposely brought along an antique appraiser.

Ava's hand trembled as she held the bangle. She took a deep breath. “Regardless of its worth, stealing is still a crime!”

Without even needing to touch the bangle, the appraiser made his conclusion. “The color isn't rich enough, and the material is too thin. It couldn't possibly be a family heirloom. It's a fake.”

The first lie was shattered.

Seeing him is akin to seeing Dexter. He has also come?
