Chapter 261 Seeking Help
“Ms. Warren, I must say you’re braver than I gave you credit for Xanthe caid with an indifferent smile. “but let me tell you this quality alone won’t secure your place in the Russell family”
She took a tissue from her bag and meticulously wiped her fingers clean, one by one, before discarding it in the trash bin “We’re likely to cross paths often in the future I wish you all the best in life.”
Josie had anticipated Xanthe’s anger, but instead, she remained calm and composed, adding to Josie’s mounting pressure
In response, Josie mustered a smile and said. “Happy New Year to you!”
Xanthe turned and walked away. Just as she was about to enter the car, she glanced back and said. “You know what Dexter told me yesterday at the family estate?”
Confused, Josie looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Xanthe smiled again. “Never mind, it’s probably best if you don’t know. Knowing would only make you
sad”
At nightfall, Dexter returned home, looking a bit dusty. He spotted Josie sitting on the sofa, lost in her thoughts. “Something bothering you today?” He asked.
Josie glanced up and sighed. “Your mom came to me earlier.”
Dexter paused, his expression revealing no surprises. “What did she say?”
“She mentioned how you owe me and another girl, and she hopes I’ll be the one to call for divorce.”
A smirk formed on his lips as he listened. “Don’t let her words get to you.”
Knowing Xanthe’s true nature, Josie didn’t take it to heart, but she couldn’t shake off the pressure. She sat up and held onto Dexter’s waist. “Dexter, if the time comes and you have to choose, would you choose me again?”
Her intuition told her not to ask this question, but she couldn’t resist prying.
Dexter allowed Josie to cling onto him, placing his hand gently on her head as he reassured her, “I would.”
