Chapter 419 Meeting Mrs Langman
Summer edited the interview the following day before sending it to the printing press.
Then, newspapers containing the interview were distributed all over the city on the second
day evening. The interview with Dexter was popular with the public.
Since Summer had done well, the supervisor did not skimp on praises. However, her
success caused dissatisfaction among her colleagues and led to many enemies. Many
caused her trouble behind her back, but she never retaliated because she did not care.
Russell Group was full of talented individuals, but Dexter still stood out from these people
and was always a few steps above them. He was different from ordinary people.
Therefore, Summer believed she still had much to improve to grow to his level.
She wanted to be recognized for her abilities and not just as the daughter of the Olsen
family.
Josie received no response for her submitted resumes. Still, she was not anxious and spent
most of her time with her father, Paul.

recovering well. Since recovery was challenging for Paul’s condition, it was not easy for
him to recover to his level. Thus, Josie was glad to hear that.
“By
the way, the medical team Dexter brought to the hospital has left, Matthew mentioned
suddenly.
Josie recalled their previous argument and paused before replying, “That’s good.”
Matthew spun a pen between his fingers and seemed awkward. He smiled bitterly. “They
have half the credit in curing Mr. Warren’s condition. For nearly a year, they spent all their
time treating him.”
Josie understood what he was implying. In other words, he meant Dexter cared about her
tremendously.
“I understand.”
The photos from that night were never exposed to the public. Josie knew Dexter had
intercepted those photos and taken them down.
Later, Josie left the hospital with Paul. As they reached the lobby entrance, someone
shouted, “Mrs. Russell,”
Josie was stunned. She and Paul turned around and saw the elegant Mrs. Langman coming
their way. She seemed happy to see Josie. “I didn’t expect to see you in the hospital.
You’re
here for…”
Josie forced a smile. “He’s my father. I brought him here for a follow-up.”
Mrs. Langman seemed to have known about this. She had a strange expression as she
regarded Paul. On the other hand, Paul understood she wanted to talk to Josie alone. “Jo, I’l
wait for you outside.”
“Sure.”
After Paul left, Mrs. Langman held her arm and said, “What’s wrong? Why didn’t you bring
a servant with you?”

Her words showed the stark contrast between their social statuses. Josie pursed her lips
and replied, “I’m used to going everywhere alone. Mrs. Langman, you’re here for…”
Mrs. Langman complained about her recent bodily ailments and said she visited the
hospital for a checkup. Then, she asked, “I heard recently that you and Dexter had a huge
row. How is it now? Have you reconciled?”
Josie did not expect so many people to know about the matter. She felt embarrassed and
said she would prefer not to talk about it. Mrs. Langman seemed to have a good
impression of Josie after the matter with Xanthe and asked, “There will be a week-long
charity gala in Wavery in two days. Many influential people will be attending. Would you
like to go?”
“Thank you, but I won’t be going. I dislike such social events.”
“Don’t say that.” Mrs. Langman frowned and shook her head. “You can’t win a man’s
affection by laying low. I suppose you don’t know about this yet. Summer Olsen has
returned. She used to cover your husband. They will surely attend this charity gala, and
people will speculate about them again.”
Josie could tell that Mrs. Langman was trying to help her. What’s the point if I have to fight
to win his heart?
She shook her head. “Let’s see how it goes. I don’t want to appear before others for now.”
Things might get messy if Summer were to see me.
