Her hand gripping the bottle shook uncontrollably, veins popping out as she struggled to control the tremors.

Marilyn said Daddy's back from his business trip. Is it true?" Josie was extremely exhausted. She slowly crouched down. "You're quite quick with the news." Marilyn hadn't left yet. "Leanne, why do you look so pale? Did you see Dexter?" "Yes." "That's good. I knew Dexter would be fine." Before her were Grape's expectant eyes, shining brightly.
Josie gently touched her face. "Tomorrow, I'll have Mdm. Marilyn take you to see your daddy. I'm going to take a bath now." Josie's condition was obviously off. Marilyn and Claudia exchanged a glance, sensing something was wrong. The former quickly followed her. "What's wrong, Leanne? Tell me. Don't makeworry. Is Dexter the one who upset you? Whatever it is, you must speak up. Dexter finally got out of trouble. It's best not to misunderstand each other." Josie continued walking, her face extremely gloomy, showing no desire to speak.
"His ability to get himself out of trouble has nothing to do with me, and any misunderstandings are insignificant.” "What? Of course, it has something to do with you. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered Selena's existence, Justin wouldn't have takento find her, and Dexter wouldn't have gotten out of trouble! How can you say it has nothing to do with you?" Hearing Selena's name, Josie stopped in her tracks. She finally showed semotion. "What? You know Selena?" Marilyn was surprised. She thought Josie knew everything, but it turned out that Josie didn't know anything.
She was about to speak when a servant outside suddenly called, "Ms. Olsen, Mr. Russell is here." After a long while, Josie stiffly turned her head away.
"Dexter's here. He'll explain everything to you." Marilyn comforted softly, then held Grape who crunning to them and left. "Be good. Your parents have to talk." The man was cloaked in the harsh wind and rain from outside, his body radiating a chill. His figure stood tall and firm like a pine tree. He let out a soft sigh. "You blme." S Josie turned away, desperately holding back her emotions. She felt so humiliated that her neck flushed a deep shade of red. "Selena is Marilyn's cousin's daughter." He spoke the truth himself, but Josie didn't feel any satisfaction. She still didn't speak, needing even more strength to endure his long-absent voice.
This was the corridor, not the place for discussions. Dexter took her cold hand and entered the room. Leaning against the door, he pinched her cheek. "Look at me, Josie," Josie struggled but couldn't resist. Her eyes turned red as she stared at him.

In an attempt to secure a prosperous future, she becthe lover of someone from a wealthy and influential family. By the tshe wanted to get out, it was too late. She tried every means to find out that Ms. Marilyn worked for the Russell family and begged for her help. Ms. Marilyn, in turn, begged Grandpa, to rescue her.
