Chapter 852 Summer Exerts Pressure

The higher-up was left without a retort, for that was the truth. Rivodia’s development was

impressive, and no one had expected Morgan to come to Wavery.

“No matter what, we must pander to this big shot today. The mayor has given strict

orders. If anything goes wrong, neither of us can bear the consequences.”

Josie swept her gaze over the people present there. Among them were the district mayor

and the secretary. Even the police chief was there.

“Such a grand reception?” How much money must he have invested?

Seeing her surprised gaze on the police chief, the district mayor quickly explained, “This

big shot’s primary requirement is good public security. That’s why the police chief is here

to lend his support.”

At that, the corners of Josie’s mouth twitched. Could the security in Wavery be any worse

than that in Rivodia?

She reluctantly returned to Morgan’s side and mocked under her breath, “Don’t tell me

you’re still scared from that incident in Rivodia that you’re always asking for good public

security wherever you go?”

Following her quip, Morgan smiled. “I value my life more.”

Josie forced a smile. “Boss, would you like to try other activities? I’ll accompany you.”

In such a situation, her personal likes and dislikes couldn’t be taken into consideration

anymore. All she could do was smile and play along.

Morgan was pleased with her attitude. He even patted her on the head. “I’ve just arrived

in Wavery and am, hungry after the long journey. Let’s eat.”

“Ah, we’ve prepared the food for a while now,” a higher-up said.

And so, they entered the private room that had been prepared in advance. During the

meal, Morgan changed into a new set of clothes and discussed the collaboration with

them. The conversation flowed back and forth, filled with pleasantries and formalities.

Josie paid little attention. She buried her head in the food, all the while musing inwardly.

How long is Morgan going to stay in Wavery? Surely, he isn’t planning to stick around until

the project is completed, right?

“Wavery is already a nationally renowned tourist city. With the development of this project

and the support of Russell Group and Bastille Group, the tourism industry is bound to

reach new heights.”

At the mention of Russell Group, Josie choked slightly. She coughed into her clenched fist

softly. It was subtle, but a glass of warm water suddenly appeared beside her when she

lifted her head.

The hand holding it was well-defined.

Morgan sat beside her and replied without any change in expression, “I haven’t met Mr.

Russell yet, but I’m sure it will be soon.” While saying that, he nudged the glass of water

closer to her.

Josie’s brows furrowed.

After a few rounds of drinks, Josie had almost finished eating. At that precise moment, a

secretary pushed open the door and came in. He leaned close to the police chief and

whispered something in the man’s car. The latter’s face changed instantly, and he

murmured. “How did they find out about it?”

1/2

“Someone must have leaked our whereabouts.”

The police chief didn’t respond immediately but fell into a brief silent contemplation. The

secretary added, “Ultimately, she’s a member of that family, so it wouldn’t be appropriate

to decline meeting her.”

Still, he seemed conflicted. Morgan, sharp-eyed as ever, took the initiative to ask the

police chief, “Is there something bothering you?”

The police chief clicked his tongue, somewhat helpless. “In my position, there are always

some favors that

can’t be refused.”

Josie didn’t really care about it, but then her phone lit up with a message from Laura. It

read: Are you at the archery club today?

Her brows furrowed, and she replied: How did you know that?

Laura texted: You were sitting by the door. I saw you when I passed by.

Josie responded with a question mark.

To that, Laura typed: I came with Summer.

Following her words, Josie seemed to have sensed something. Just then, the police chief

stood up and excused himself to attend to some matters.

She clenched and unclenched her fist, then said to Morgan, “I’ve eaten overly much. I’m

going out for a walk.”

Having said that, she pushed open the door and went out without waiting for his

agreement.

The archery range was located directly below the private room. She stepped out into the

corridor and leaned against the railing to observe the situation below.

Summer and Laura were both dressed smartly, toying with a bow and arrow at the

moment. At the sight of the police chief striding over, Summer stepped forward and shook

his hand. “Say, what a coincidence. I initially didn’t want to intrude on you. But I thought

since I’m here, it’d be rude to not greet you.”

The police chief stretched out a finger at her. “You’ve been a little rascal since young,

Sum!”
