Chapter 574 She Left First
After Summer left, Josie continued sitting in the lounge for quite a while. It was her third
time in the Olsen Group’s hotel, but she had never carefully observed the furnishings here.
The furnishings of the hotel were luxurious but not extravagant. Its elegant style
corresponded to Claudia’s taste.
Mark must love her a lot. If Liana were still around, maybe she wouldn’t have to stay in the
monastery and isolate herself from the outside world.
At this thought, Josie smiled ruefully.
She wanted to go and find Laura but accidentally sprained her ankle when she stood up.
Her heels broke, which left her in an inconvenient state. She looked around the lounge in
exasperation, but there was no one she could seek help from.
Just then, Claudia walked into the lounge, surrounded by a few other ladies. She lifted her

just now.
“Mrs. Olsen, she’s…” Her companion asked when they saw her gazing at Josie hesitantly.
“Nothing. Go ahead. I’ll come later.” Claudia sent her companions away and walked up to
Josie. “What Happened?”
Josie was startled when she heard the voice and became nervous to see Claudia. “I…”
Claudia was observant and quickly noticed her broken high heels. “Wait for me here.”
Josie was upset as she watched Claudia walk away. Although Claudia was Summer’s
mother, their personalities were completely different. Josie felt apologetic toward Claudia
for disrupting her daughter’s major occasions repeatedly.
Not long after Claudia left, Josie’s phone vibrated. She was relieved, thinking Dexter had
texted. To her shock, it was a message consisting of a picture. In the picture, a man
dressed in home wear was pressing. his body against a woman on the bed. He placed one
hand on the woman’s chest while kissing her neck.
It was obviously a couple who were madly in love. The man’s side profile could be seen
clearly.
Instantly, Josie’s feet felt like jelly. She tightened her grip on the phone. The man in the
picture was so familiar that she could recognize him at one glance.
Gulping, she enlarged the picture to confirm her perception. There were no traces of the
picture being digitally edited; the two people in the picture looked natural.
The ID which sent the message was one from Wavery. Josie called the number
immediately, but no one answered.
– Just then, Laura came down from upstairs with a coat over her shoulder. She walked up
to Josie and said,
“I’m leaving now. Come with me.”
Josie was still standing in a daze at the spot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hey, Josie. Are you okay?” Laura waved at Josie. Only then did Josie regain her
composure. “What is it?”
“I said I’m leaving. Let’s go together.”
Josie unlocked her phone screen and mumbled, “I-I’m waiting for Dexter.”
“The men are busy socializing, and it won’t end that soon. Why don’t you come with me to
check out the house?”
“Okay.” Josie was filled with complicated emotions. She felt light-headed and wished to
leave the place as soon as possible.
“Oh, your heels are broken.” Laura exchanged her shoes with Josie before the two left the
hotel together.
By the time Claudia rushed back to the place after asking for a pair of sandals from the
server, Josie was nowhere to be seen.
Dejected, Claudia noticed the heels Josie left on the floor. She instructed the server to
keep them away and wrote down an address, “Get them fixed and send them to this
address.”
