Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 951

Josie's eyes sparkled mischievously as she half-smiled. "I'm not upset," she said, glancing at the clothes. "Do you know who's really upset?"

Dexter remained surprisingly calm. "You used to be quite similar to her."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Josie became anxious. "Don't compare me to her. It's bad luck."

He chuckled softly, gently lifting her chin. "I once said she doesn't think as much as you do, and that still holds true."

Josie brushed his hand aside and sat down to have breakfast. "Scott wants me to go to the police station to give a new statement."

"He didn't inform me."

"Why should he? I am the primary person involved, after all."

"I'll ask Moses to accompany you."

Josie accepted without protest. She didn't turn around, nor did she notice the gaze Dexter fixed upon her. She simply left promptly.

Upon arriving at Russell Group, Larry approached and reported, "Matthew has booked the earliest flight to Japrium."

Dexter raised an eyebrow.

"Someone is already taking care of it," Larry continued. "And someone is keeping an eye on Ms. Olsen. After you left last night, she had an argument with Claudia."

"For what reason?"

"It seems to be about a dog," Larry recalled. "Ms. Olsen is afraid of dogs, and there happens to be one in Olsen Residence. She wanted someone to remove it, but Claudia stopped her."

Ah, so that's the cause.

The servant didn't dare make a decision on his own, so he sent for Claudia. She hurried over and found Heather clutching an iron rod. Tearfully, she said, "Mother, I'm really scared of dogs now. Please take it away. It barks every day, and I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown."

The servant responsible for the chili plants found it hard to believe. Given the vastness of Olsen Residence, Heather's room was far from there. How could she possibly hear a dog barking?

Claudia's gentle face also appeared somewhat gloomy. "Leanne, has something been bothering you?"

"No, it's not... I hate it. Mother, I really hate it!"
