Chapter 617 No Wonder He’s Smitten with Her
“Alright, that’s enough!” Arnold scolded in a firm yet restrained voice.
Summer’s expression contorted with displeasure at his reprimand.
Josie took a deep breath and stepped forward, navigating her way through the crowd.
“Mrs. Carter, I see that you have other guests to entertain. Why don’t you leave this to me? I’ll make sure she learns her lesson while you take a moment to compose yourself.”
Summer furrowed her brow, casting a skeptical glance at Josie, “You?”
Josie maintained a composed demeanor and reminded Summer of her priority. “We must handle this properly.”
Whispers circulated among the onlookers, drawing attention to the uncanny resemblance between Heather and Josie.
Unwilling to extend the public spectacle in front of the city’s socialites and elites, Summer fixed Heather with a fierce glare before striding away.
Arnold exchanged a meaningful glance with Josie and quickly followed after Summer.
As the crowd was dispersing, Josie approached Heather and extended her hand. “Come on.”
Amid the chaotic scene, Josie stood before Heather. With the former’s poised and distant. demeanor, she appeared like a guiding presence in front of Heather.
Heather hesitated momentarily before firmly taking Josie’s hand to lift herself off the ground.
“Thank you, Mrs. Russell.”
“So, you still remember me,” Josie commented, tilting her head slightly.
“We met in Spain,” Heather recalled, reminiscing about their previous encounter where Josie had stirred up some trouble while seeking information.
Josie nodded and approached the counter. “A cup of hot cocoa, please.”
The waiter swiftly prepared the beverage and handed it to Josie, who then extended it to Heather. “Here, this will help warm you up.”
As the chilly winter wind blew, they stood facing each other, Heather appearing somewhat lost. “Mrs. Russell, I truly appreciate your help today. I wouldn’t know what to do without
you.”
Observing Heather’s submissive and hesitant demeanor, Josie smiled slightly, “Aren’t you afraid that I might cause you trouble?”
“No. You’re not that kind of person, Heather replied with confidence.
Her certainty piqued Josie’s curiosity. “You seem to know me quite well.”
“With the few encounters I’ve had with Mr. Russell, he had mentioned you, Heather explained.
