Chapter 535 Laura in Danger

Summer flounced off to change, leaving Dexter and Claudia alone. Claudia smiled at

Dexter and said, “Thank you for taking care of Summer. She can be quite a handful.”

Dexter understood what she was implying behind her words. He knew why she had

avoided him all these years.

“It’s part of my responsibility,” Dexter said simply.

Arnold had been listening to their conversation the whole time. He finally spoke up, his

smile dripping with sarcasm. “I never knew you were so protective, Dex.”

Dexter raised his eyebrows in derision. “Of course, I had to protect her,” he said firmly, his

voice rising. “She’s my responsibility. D

Dexter smoothly changed the subject, effectively cutting Arnold off.

Arnold’s lips tightened into a thin line, and he remained silent.

Dexter raised his glass in a toast to Arnold. “Congratulations on your new project,” he said

in a courteous manner.

Arnold’s lips curled into a smirk. “You must have your sources,” Arnold said as he leveled

his gaze at him,

“It’ll only get more efficient, Dexter responded, taking a large gulp of wine.

It was ten at night, and Josie was fast asleep.

Josie had a regular sleep schedule.

Josie was jolted awake by her phone ringing. She furrowed her brow as she answered the

phone. It was Laura.

With her palms plastered on her forehead, Josie pinched her eyebrows when she finally

registered Laura’s name on the screen of her phone. It was late at night, and Laura only

called her this late if there was a problem at work. She answered the call with a worried

sigh.

Her stomach churned with dread and anxiety when she heard Laura’s crying on the other

end of the line.

Laura was sobbing so hard that she could barely speak.

Josie sat up in bed, her eyes wide with alarm. “Laura?!”

“Josie, I’m so scared, Laura quavered, her voice breaking.

“Laura, calm down,” Josie responded, her voice firm. “Where are you right now?” She

swept her hair out of her face and asked in a frantic tone. ‘Give me the address. I’ll be

there as soon as I can. Don’t panic”

Laura’s mind was in disarray, and her clothes were stained with tear marks.

Josie’s heart sank as she listened to Laura’s tearful cries. She quickly got out of bed,

changed her clothes, and left her house in her bedroom slippers. She was determined to

find Laura and help her.

As Josie was trying to get a sense of Laura’s situation, Laura said out of the blue. “Josie,

you don’t have to find me. I’ll be fine

Josie stopped in her tracks, her anger rising. “Where are you right now? Do you want to

die?”

The air was thick with tension. All Josie could hear was Laura’s panicked breathing.

“You’re at the Olsen’s residence, aren’t you?” Josie was sure of it.

Josie took Laura’s silence as a sign of agreement and darted downstairs in her slippers.

“I’ll be there soon,” she announced.

“Don’t come here,” a faint and raspy voice said through the phone. “It’s Summer’s

birthday today.”

Josie’s footsteps came to a halt. After a moment, she said, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of

this,”

She hung up the call and booked a taxi on her phone. Later, she browsed the web and saw

several photos from Summer’s birthday party that had been posted online.

“The Olsen residence?” the cab driver asked, surprised.

Josie clutched her phone tightly. “Yes,” she answered.

The taxi Josie hailed looked out of place in the opulent villa. The sound of music and

conversation wafted from within as if another world lay beyond the gates,

After paying the taxi fare, Josie felt a pang of regret as she looked down at her slippers.

At that very instant, a delivery man in uniform arrived at the villa. Josie stopped him in his

tracks. “Hi, those are mine.”

The delivery man handed her the items and was about to leave when she called out to

him. “Hey, can you sell me your uniform?”

I’ll pay you three times the price.”
