Chapter 828 Marriage Alliance
After returning to Wavery, Josie found herself working almost non-stop. She had rented a
small condominium for herself, which, while not spacious, was sufficient for her needs.
Most of the studio’s affairs were now being handled by Alice, Angel, and others. Josie
didn’t even spare a glance for the nominal projects from Russell Group, dedicating all her
attention to matters concerning the Olsen family.
On one of Laura’s visits, Josie happened to see photos of Dexter and Heather strolling
around town..
The photographer had captured their intimate behavior brilliantly, making it appear as if
they were a genuine couple. The media coverage was equally sensational, suggesting that
the two had met each other’s parents, hinting at a potential marriage alliance between
the Russell and Olsen families.
“Why is it so hard to find you? You should have stayed at my place,” Laura expressed her
dissatisfaction as she entered Josie’s small apartment.
Josie cleared a small corner for Laura to sit and replied, “I’ve been staying at your place
quite often; I didn’t want to trouble you further.”
Laura, clearly dissatisfied with this response, playfully punched Josic. “Don’t tell me you

Josie smiled and said, “The headlines have been quite lively these past few days. It seems
like the Olsens are on the brink of a major conflict.
Laura sighed and sat down heavily, feeling overwhelmed. “It’s not just a conflict; it’s
practically a war. When Summer and Zach meet, it’s like they want to tear each other
apart.”
“Why?”
“What else could it be? It’s all because Summer is caught up in a scandal, and the Carter
Group is still. under investigation. This situation has significant repercussions for the Olsen
family. When interests are at stake, it often turns into a fierce battle.”
“What about you? You seem to be on Zach’s side. Do you think you have a chance?” Josie
asked.
Laura raised an eyebrow and replied, “Chances of winning? What’s the point of defeating
Summer when there’s someone else waiting in the wings?”
Josie understood that Laura was referring to Heather. “But doesn’t Heather only own ten
percent of the
shares?”
“True, but this young lady has already captured your ex-husband’s heart, and he
represents the entire Russell Group. If they were to get married, both Zach and Summer
would be sidelined,” Laura explained.
The mention of Dexter made Josie’s smile turn somewhat melancholic.
Laura frowned and asked, “The news mentions that you and Morgan have some sort of
relationship. What’s going on? Are you really giving up on Dexter? Can you bear to do
that?”
Coincidentally, just as Morgan was mentioned, Josie’s phone on the table rang. The caller
ID indicated that
the call was from Rivodia.
Josie offered Laura an apologetic look, picked up her phone, and remained silent.

“Didn’t you say you would message me? I’ve been waiting this whole time,” a young and
charming voice on the other end of the line said.
Josie was momentarily speechless and replied, “I was just being polite when I said that. It
was all just an
act.”

two days, and nothing came. I got tired of waiting.”
Even in their conversations, Morgan displayed a hint of anger and spoke in a tone that was
both petulant and entitled.
Josie let out an exasperated laugh, saying, “Well, if you’re willing to wait, go ahead, but
don’t expect me to send you anything even if you wait for two years.”
Morgan, though clearly irritated, managed to find some amusement in the situation as he
clenched his. teeth and responded, “Two years, huh? I can certainly wait.”
“Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’m hanging up.” Josie glanced at Laura, and the
latter’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as they exchanged glances.
Morgan, seemingly satisfied with his last word, said, “Glad to know you’re safe,” before
hanging up.
Subsequently, Josie casually tossed her phone aside, prompting Laura to ask, “Who was
that? I’ve never seen you so impatient before.”
In actuality, she had vaguely heard a man’s voice coming from the phone. His tone was
relaxed and not serious at all.
“Morgan.”
Laura, her eyelids slightly lowered, masked her emotions and commented, “Why would
you talk to him in. that tone?”
