Chapter 636 Someone Inside the Olsen Family
“Ask away,” Dexter responded casually.
At the tip of her tongue, Josie was worried that the question might offend Dexter. Anyone who offended Dexter, sooner or later, would face unfavorable consequences. Besides, asking about it would seem like jealousy, so she kept it to herself.
“Nothing much, it’s about Yanis. You dealt with him, but what about the situation with the Olsen family?” Josie smoothly shifted the topic.
Dexter closed his eyes, a look of contemplation crossing his face, his finger pressed against his temple. “Mark’s illness has relapsed, and he’s in the hospital. If the people under him find. out, the New Year won’t be peaceful for him.”
Josie understood the delicate situation Summer faced after taking over the Olsen Group. Mark’s illness weakened his support for her, leaving her vulnerable to internal challenges, and Arnold, too, would be affected.
This presented a favorable opportunity for Dexter, who aimed to deal with both the Carters and Olsens, leveraging the vulnerability caused by Mark’s illness. The situation was ripe for him to make significant moves within the Olsen family structure.
A sudden thought struck Josie as she observed Dexter’s composed expression. “Is Mark’s illness somehow related to you?” she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.
Dexter’s eyes flickered open, a mocking smile playing on his lips. “I can’t control someone else’s health, can I?”
Josie understood the implication. Some individuals within the Olsen family were loyal to Dexter and might have played a part in orchestrating Mark’s ailment.
Wrapped in Dexter’s embrace, Josie pressed her fingertip to his lips. “Forget about Summer, but Mark is still your childhood friend’s father. If she finds out, she’ll be heartbroken.”
Dexter responded with a teasing smile. “Jealous of her, are you?”
Amused by the suggestion, Josie rolled her eyes at him. “What do I have to be jealous of? When you two broke up, you were just a kid. It doesn’t bother me at all.”
Dexter’s grin widened. “You’re jealous.”
Josie playfully rebutted, “Just because you’re easily jealous doesn’t mean I am too.”
