A couple of hours later, Shawn left the room.
Dexter stood watching at the window. Larry went up to him. “Mr. Russell, do you think Mr.
Bastille would do as you say?”
“His only hope now is to do what I told him to. I’ve given him half a year to collaborate
with our company without him putting in any effort. He has the better end of the deal. He
wouldn’t even be able to go up against Morgan Bastille without this.” He placed the glass.
down. “Do you want to make a bet?”
“What is it for?”
“Within these six months, Shawn will force Morgan into a tight corner.”

Even though he could not see her face, Dexter immediately knew that she was Heather.
Is it her birthday today?
“Is Heather’s file still around?” he asked in a low voice.
Larry was puzzled, but he brought it out quickly. “Yes, sir.”
Dexter took it and glanced at it, immediately noticing the date written near the top. It was
the day’s date.
So, it is her birthday.
She seemed to be delighted after making her wish. She cut the cake open and took her
time eating it.
Dexter’s expression was mixed as he watched her finish the cake and left.

“That’s not possible. Our itinerary hasn’t been disclosed to many.”
He recalled a memory. At that moment, an absurd thought came to his mind.
Today’s Leanne’s birthday too….
“We’ll head back to Wavery tomorrow.”
Mrs. Langman received the news very swiftly. “Zach Olsen is already in Wavery?
Josie was speculating about his first move. Would he go straight to the hospital?

Claudia would not be around. She seemed busy as she had been staying at the Olsen
Residence for a while now.
Josie stepped into the church. A priest greeted her. “Peace be with you.”
She nodded back under her cap. Her heart would feel calm whenever she was there.
After standing in one spot for a while, she turned to leave, but a familiar figure caught her
eyes.
It was Claudia. She had a veil over her head. A man with a hat held his arm out to support
her as they left the main sanctuary. They must have just finished a prayer meeting.
Josie wanted to hide from them but could not do it in time.
She had nowhere to hide when the two walked into her.
