Chapter 723 It’s a Pity You are not an Olsen
Josie stared down at him from where she was standing. She knew that how she dressed
expressed that she no longer carried the childish naivete she used to.
“I don’t think we met by coincidence, did we, Mr. Olsen?”
On the other hand, Mark Olsen was dressed neatly in a shirt and slacks and had a set of
gold- rimmed spectacles, which made him look like a university lecturer instead of an
owner of a large conglomerate firm in Wavery.
Mark refrained from responding. Instead, he gestured at a chair. “Sit.”
Despite her reluctance to concede, she felt Mark’s bodyguard stare into the back of her
head with such vehemence that she knew she had no choice.
“I heard that Leanne met you yesterday at the Sky Palace,” Mark did not waste time with
pleasantries.
“Are you here to rebuke me on behalf of your beloved daughter?”
“She cried last night because of you.”

family’s beloved. Her tears can compel her father, who is a busy head of the family, to
speak to the person who had hurt her daughter personally! Most fathers would’ve just told
their children not to engage with people who don’t look eye-to-eye with them.
Josie raised an eyebrow, questioning silently.
Mark continued, “I believe many people offered to reward you if you left Dexter even

However, I heard your father has gone missing, hasn’t he?”

Josie’s questioning expression turned hard. “Are you threatening me?”
“No, that isn’t my intention. However, I offer my services. If you’re willing to compromise, I
can hunt him down to the ends of the earth and beyond for you,”
Surely, I would have to pay a steep price. Josie thought to herself.
“I’m tempted. My father is important to me,”
Mark smiled and shrugged as if waiting for her to decide.
“However, if the Russells cannot find him in Wavery, how could the Olsens do any better?”

Josie was courageous enough to challenge Mark because she knew Dexter had her back.
On the other hand, Mark was astounded, but only for a moment. “The Russells have their
tendrils weaved into Wavery, but the Olsens’ authority can reach the furthest places of the
world.”

Money and connections don’t lie the Olsens can really reach the ends of the earth. Josie
contemplated his offer sorrowfully with a loud sigh.
Mark expected Josie to beg pitifully and felt his smile melt away uneasily. “Why the loud

“I’m aggrieved. You must have been fretting when you struggled to find Liana, who went
missing. I did not expect someone who experienced what I’m experiencing now to use my
missing father to threaten me. I guess empathy is a myth.”
Mark did not expect to hear that from Josie, but her words hit him hard.
Josie noticed that the sharpness in his eyes dulled as if he regretted his actions. “You’re a
good lady, Josie. It’s a pity that you are not an Olsen.”
Josie felt her heart skip a beat. It was true that if she was an Olsen, she could have all the
finances and authority backing her every action. Liana and Josie could have had the same.
fate, but their lives are drastically different.
However, Josie begged to differ.
“Is it a pity? I don’t think so. My family isn’t rich, and we had to work hard through school
and at work. Even now, we have to pay for the medical bills. And yet, my father has been
exceptional. He gave me all the love that he had. Sometimes, I think he loves me more
than. he loves his biological son. Do you think you could do that for your children?”
Mark knew that she insinuated that he did not love his children well.
