Chapter 509 We Are Family

Mallory turned around and left to get onto another flight to return to the United Kingdom

Laura pushed the wheelchair and rushed to the car park. At the same time, she said,

“What happened to you? Why didn’t you contact me at all? How did you get into an

accident? Why didn’t you tell me about your ectopic pregnancy?”

“I’ll tell you about it later, but first, send me to Russell Group.”

Laura paused briefly but decided to do as Josie instructed.

After they were seated in the car, Laura gave her a summary of the situation in Wavery

and added, “Actually, you don’t have to worry. Dexter’s family has deep reserves. They will

have no problem persisting for half a month. It won’t be easy for Arnold to destroy such a

large corporation.”

Then, she hesitated briefly and glanced into the rearview mirror before continuing. “Did

you see the news about Dexter and Summer?”

Josie curved her pale lips into a smile. “Yes. It was a setup,””

Laura instantly breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m glad that you understand. I was so anxious

about the rumors flying around and your condition.”

Josie had informed Henry that they would be visiting. They headed straight to De arriving

at Russell Group. Henry sat behind Dexter’s desk and wore a pair of read the documents.

He seemed tired and overworked.

“Grandpa.”

Upon hearing Josie’s voice, Henry looked up and was shocked to see her weak and brok

immediately and approached her. “What… What happened…”

He looked at her and felt heartbroken about her condition. However, he did not dare to ask

too questions or stare at her. He seemed nervous and unsure about what he should do.

Josie pretended not to notice and said half-jokingly, I’m okay. It’s only a minor injury, and I

will recove soon. Laura made a big fuss over a small matter and insisted I use a

wheelchair.“

Henry observed her for some time. It broke his heart to see her injured. “How am I to

answer your father with you like this…”

Josie held Henry’s hand to comfort him.

“The construction side is mostly resolved for now. However, our finances are tight, Henry

explained after hearing Josie’s reason for visiting. He sighed and continued, “Russell Group

and its branches have tens of thousands of employees. Their salaries amounted to billions

each month. Furthermore, the company has all kinds of projects requiring capital. Our risk

of bankruptcy gets higher the longer Dex drags this matter.”

Josie understood his words. “In short, we are running out of money.”

Henry sighed, reminding her, “I told you this only because you wish to know. However, you

must not overexert yourself. Carter Group and Russell Group are in the midst of a pricing

war. Don’t get involved.”

“But I’m Dexter’s wife. Grandpa, we are family. Family members should share burdens.”

Josie had a plan in mind. “Don’t worry. I will do what I can and won’t overexert myself.”

Henry was relieved to hear that.

Laura only dared to speak after they left Russell Group, “What are you planning to do? Are

you going to raise funds through our small studio or from your savings? We don’t have the

means to fill such a significant gap. If it were up to me, I would let Dex keep acting with

Summer. He will get the funds if he manages to convince Summer.”

“It’s perfectly normal to sacrifice a little when necessary.

Josie tightened the jacket around her body and pondered silently before saying, “Laura,

can you help me with something? I wish to meet Mark.”

Laura was stunned.

It was not easy to arrange a meeting with Mark. He was usually busy and had

unpredictable schedules. However, he had been shutting himself in Olsen Residence for

the past few days due to Summer’s illness.

Laura could not help but feel apprehension as she brought Josie to Olsen Residence. She

rarely interacted with her father-in-law. He was a prominent figure and was strict with the

people around him. She was scared of him.

“Don’t worry. I’ll tell him I came to the house alone and bumped into you at the door. I

won’t cause you trouble,” Josie comforted Laura.
