Claudia's expression was stern. "Mark doesn't know about this matter yet. If he knew, he wouldn't be as easygoing as I am. You'd better think it over." It was quite rare to for Claudia to make threats.
With a cold laugh, Josie tightly grasped her petite hand. "To think you'd say such words in front of the police. Have you lost your mind, Mrs. Olsen?” Caleb and Scott exchanged glances as to whether to stay or leave had beca dilemma for them.

"I'll say it again, don't make things difficult for the public officials. Let's find a place and talk.” Naturally, Josie didn't think there was a need for conversation, but with so many onlookers, it wasn't easy to exit the situation gracefully.
Having dealt with numerous challenging affairs, Larry took the opportunity to lower his head, assuring Josie, "I'll take Grape with me. As long as Mr. Russell is present, there's no rush to register. You can rest easy." Those words finally brought a measure of relief to Josie. She squatted down and started fixing Grape's hair. "Go hfirst with Mr. Peeple, okay? I need to take care of sthings. Be good, okay?" Grape seemed to understand but not quite, nodding in agreement. Before being led away by Larry, she timidly cast a few more glances at Claudia. Outside the police station, several black vehicles were parked.
In one of the vehicles, the atmosphere was tense, filled with a palpable chill.
"When did you find out?" asked Josie.
"The night you were having a hard twith the Olsen family staff, I was outside. I saw this kid with Moses," answered Claudia.
Josie took a deep breath. So that's how it is. Despite my meticulous efforts, she still discovered it.

The bold yet timid eyes of Grape were just like Josie's when she was a child. “I began to harbor suspicions, keeping a close watch on the Russell family's activities. However, Dexter was secretive in his actions and I gained nothing. It wasn't until today when I finally saw the child appear again." She's the one who sent people to follow Moses. When Josie was feeling agitated, she had a habit of unconsciously picking at her fingers. "I didn't want you guys to know because this is my personal matter. I don't want the child to get involved in any power struggles." Upon hearing that, Claudia leaned in slowly, "So you allowed her to carry the Warren surname?" Josie locked eyes with Claudia, each word deliberately. "Is it not allowed?" "Of course not. She's your daughter, who carries the bloodline of the Olsen family. There's no reason she should carry the Warren surname." Josie laughed upon hearing that. "Even Dexter doesn't object, yet you're stepping in. I gave birth to the child. I have the right to decide her surname. Mrs. Olsen, I advise you to give up your ideas because I won't listen." A flicker of complex emotion passed through Claudia's eyes, but she quickly regained her resolve. "And what do you think are my ideas?" Josie remained silent.
"Lettell you, you can take the Warren surnto repay the kindness of being raised by Paul. We can even provide for him, but there's no reason for your child also to carry the Warren surname. Your child, who carries the blood of the Olsen family, must reunite with her biological family!" Claudia was filled with indignation. She was typically calm and composed, so it was rare for her to be this infuriated.
"So you want her surnto be Olsen?" Josie said softly, "You all are hardly worthy." "You!" Claudia was infuriated, abruptly raising her hand to strike Josie's face.
However, she found herself unable to follow through.
"If you don't tell Mark, we can act as if this never happened and continue to live in peace like before. However, if you wish to inform Mark and cause unrest in the Olsen family, I won't hesitate to fight you all."Josie articulated each word and sentence with an undeniable strength that resonated in her speech.
