Chapter 833 The Biggest Beneficiary

Laura led Josie to her bedroom, which was clean and tidy, with very few personal

belongings. It was evident that the room wasn’t frequently occupied.

After Josie finished her bath, she emerged to find the torrential rain outside hadn’t ceased,

showing every sign of continuing unabated.

The Olsen residence was vast, so expansive that a single day wouldn’t suffice to explore it

entirely. Josie had never taken a comprehensive tour of the place. She asked Laura, “Has

the Olsen family always lived

here?”

Laura, while using a hairdryer to dry Josie’s hair, replied, “Not entirely. The Olsen family

has had its ups and downs. Back then, the various branches of the family were scattered,

and Mark’s branch wasn’t even based in Wavery.

Josie suddenly recalled that Dexter had mentioned Mark’s remarkable recovery from a

near-death experience, after which he had gradually expanded his business in Wavery.

“Mark acquired this place. It’s rumored to have been built over a century ago. After

several renovations, it has become what it is today.”

Josie must have been absent when Mark purchased the property, as she didn’t remember

it.

No wonder I don’t remember this place.

Josie contemplated this information. Once her hair was dry, she thanked Laura and

inquired, “Has Summer not woken up yet?”

Laura shook her head and explained, Mark is still resting in bed. He hasn’t come to terms

with the fact that Summer would commit suicide.”

Thinking of Dexter’s pride in his abilities and the fact that there was little he couldn’t

accomplish, Josie felt no sympathy for Summer. She remarked, “If, and I stress ‘if,

something happens to her, who will inherit her shares?”

Laura looked somewhat apprehensive and fell into deep thought. “It all depends on Mark’s

decision. Arnold is out of the question. There’s a high possibility that Heather and Dexter

might get married, and it could be her.”

“That would mean the Olsen family would be completely under her control.”

“Indeed.” A knock at the door interrupted their conversation. Laura answered the door,

and it was a housekeeper reminding them, “Dinner is ready. Mrs. Olsen has requested your

presence… along with Ms.

Warren.”

Laura acknowledged with a nod and then turned back to find Josie wearing a peculiar

expression. “What’s wrong?”

Josie inquired, “How did you decide to become involved in the Olsen family’s business and

attain the position you hold today?”

Caught off guard by the question, Laura hesitated for a moment before responding. “If I

hadn’t fought for myself, would Zach be as he is now? He would have killed me long ago.”

The hint of sorrow in her words revealed the gravity of her situation, causing Josie to lower

slightly. This reason seemed convincing enough.

If something were to happen to Summer, the biggest beneficiary might not necessarily be

Heather. Mark would not likely hand over his assets to an outsider, and Zach, being a

member of the Olsen family, would be a more trustworthy choice. Laura could potentially

be the biggest beneficiary in such a scenario.

As soon as that thought surfaced in Josie’s mind, however, it was disrupted by Laura’s

explanation.

Moreover, even if Summer were to pass away, Dexter would likely have a plan to secure

the Olsen family’s

shares.

Josie inwardly chided herself for overthinking, for the woman before her seemed genuinely

gentle.

“Let’s go.” Josie said, playing along with the pretense of her sprained ankle, allowing Laura

to assist her into the dining room.

At the long dining table, Claudia occupied the main seat. Seeing Josie’s condition, she

inquired about it, to which Laura explained, “She twisted her ankle on the rooftop. I

apologize for not taking better care of her.”

Claudia furrowed her brows, and Dexter’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Ms. Olsen, what

brought you to the rooftop?”

Josie nearly ground her teeth but maintained her composure. “I was admiring the

scenery.”

Dexter ladled a bowl of soup for Heather and placed it in front of her, saying, “The view at

the Olsen Residence is indeed beautiful. Once the rain stops, we should go take a look.”

Heather looked somewhat surprised. “It doesn’t seem like the rain is going to stop

anytime soon.”

Laura and Josie exchanged glances, and Laura then spoke up. “Mother, there’s a

thunderstorm outside. I’m a bit concerned about Josie going home. Can she stay over for

the night?”
