Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 661

Chapter 661 A Stranger on the Phone 

Dexter was struck by a memory. When he first saw Heather, he thought she looked like Josie. 

Could it be that she didn’t look like Josie? Could she be the real Liana? 

Dexter’s heart thumped against his chest as he tried to process the idea that Heather could be Liana. He knew that seeing her again would cause a major emotional upheaval within him. 

All the things he had done to her in the past would only add to the guilt he already felt toward her. 

“I apologize for my bluntness, but I don’t think it would be easy for the Olsen family to clarify her identity. as their family relations are extremely complicated.” 

Dexter massaged his temples, his headache pounding like a jackhammer. “We need to get Claudia and Heather together,” he said, his voice strained. “If they meet, it will make our progress much smoother.” 

After a short pause, he emphasized, “It has to be Claudia.” 

She was the only clear-headed member of the Olsen family, unclouded by personal ambition or greed. She was the person most suitable to identify Heather’s true identity. 

“I understand,” Larry turned around and walked away. After a few paces, he stopped and turned back “We’ve secured the partnership with Shawn Bastille. I heard that Morgan is absolutely livid.” 

Dexter’s lips curled into a smirk. “He must be seething after losing his control.” 

The Olsen family was in complete disarray this year. Summer had been pushed to the brink by Zach Olsen’s return. She was so overwhelmed that she couldn’t focus on her plans to target the Russell Group. To make matters worse, she was also caught up in the Carter Group’s latest debacle. It had been a challenging year for her. 

Dexter had a meeting that night at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to discuss the Russell Group’s plans to build warehouses overseas the following year. 

He had left his phone in the car, so he asked Moses to get it for him. The hotel was crowded, and Moses was bumped into by a woman in the elevator. The sudden collision between their bodies inadvertently caused both of them to drop their phones. Alarmed, they quickly picked up the phone closest to them without further inspection. 

Unfortunately, they both had the same phone model, and they both ended up with the wrong phone. 

After Josie showered, she called Dexter, but the breathy voice on the other end of the line was delicate and 

coy. 

“Who is this?” 

Josie remained silent momentarily, trying to make sense of what was happening. She then noticed the noise in the background and took a wild guess at their location. “Hi, I’m looking for Dexter Russell. Could you please pass the phone to him?” she said calmly. 

“You’re looking for Dexter here? Are you his mistress or his wife?” 

Josie could tell that the woman was intoxicated. She took a deep breath to regain her composure before replying, “I’m Mrs. Russell.”

The woman at the other end of the call fell silent. Her calm and firm tone exuded a charisma that could only belong to the matriarch of the family. “What is your last name?” she asked timidly. 

“Warren.” 

The woman finally believed her. “I see. Why didn’t you join Mr. Russell here? Have you had dinner? It’s really late now.”
