Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 959

"And what about you?" Calvin slowly spoke up after listening.

Mallory defiantly lifted her eyes, as if questioning him.

"Have you ever, even for a moment, stopped scheming against me all these years?"

At the standoff, Josie's whiskey was already finished. Someone quickly refilled her glass, bringing her back to reality.

"Laura?" She exclaimed in disbelief.

"Do you still recognize me?" Laura, heavily made up, looked enchanting in the shadows. "Calvin is having trouble with his girlfriend. What are you doing getting involved?"

Seeing a familiar face, Josie relaxed. "I'm sorry, but I've been busy lately and haven't been able to get in touch with you."

Laura waved her hand dismissively. "It's alright. I'm not blaming you. I thought something had happened when you called me in the middle of the night."

"Where have you just come from?"

"The Olsen family has many social obligations, and currently, I'm the only one who can handle them. I'm working around the clock." Laura expressed her frustration, picking up a bottle of wine to pour.

Josie's thoughts seemed distant. "How are things with the Olsen family now?"

"Don't you know?" Laura instinctively responded, quickly correcting herself. "Well, it's quite lively."

Josie thought of Summer and Zach's identities and began to wonder how much Laura actually knew, and whether she should tell her.

However, before she could speak, she heard Laura ask first, "What happened? Why did you run out in the middle of the night? Is Dexter..."

Josie pursed her lips.

She had slipped out quietly tonight. The entire Mason Garden was being watched, so she had deliberately dressed in Julie's clothes to sneak out without making a sound.

Dexter wanted to send her away. Mason Garden was no longer a place she could stay. But apart from Mason Garden, she couldn't think of a more suitable place to go. Therefore, she thought of the entertainment venues, where the noise and chaos could best numb her mind.

Laura understood clearly. "I've heard about what happened recently. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm currently in charge of the liaison between the Olsen family and Russell Group. I understand that Dexter can't get out of this unscathed now. So, just leave."

She looked into Josie's eyes.
