Chapter 326 Marriage of Convenience.
Josie understood something. âI was right thenâ She stood up and went to the window. Her back profile seemed melancholic. âI should have listened to you and not trusted Dexter. Unfortunately, itâs to She could not see his face from her position. On the other hand, Arnold sipped some tea and give you some money. Can you help me pass it to Laura?
*TH âWhy wonât you give it to her yourself?â
âIâm granting you a favor, Ms. Warren Arnold lazed in his chair and smiled nonchalantly.
Josie leaned toward him. Her hair swayed before his nose. She said. âMr. Carter, please me.â
âIâve been doing that all this while.â
Later, Josie returned to her hotel and was informed by the receptionist that someone upgraded her room to a suite.
Josie stood before the floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the city. She knew Arnold did He always cared for her, but Josie was unsure whether she could trust him.
She considered herself a selfish person. Ever since she witnessed Dexterâs true colors, she decided not to.
Once Arnold transferred the money to Josieâs account, she invited Laura to meet. Then, she brought up the matter straight away. âYouâre probably short on money Arnold told me to transfer the money to you.
It should help you deal with urgent needs temporanly?â
Laura looked unwell. She shrank further into her chair, but her gaze was calm. âItâs a lot. I canât accept it âSeems like you still have some pride. However, as someone who experienced something similar, your future will be even more difficult.â
Laura suddenly looked into her eyes. âJosie. Dex also transferred money to me last night.â
Josie did not expect to hear his name suddenly and looked down instinctively.
âDo you know why theyâre helping me?â
Josie shook her head.
âItâs because their common enemy owned the project my father invested in. Thus, they had no choice but to sacrifice the insignificant Brandel family. Thatâs why they are helping me. Itâs considered pittance.â
Josie suddenly noticed an aura of exhaustion and despair on Laura. After all, Laura was a wealthy young lady until recently. She had witnessed the ugly side of the business world overnight and knew there were no true friends in this world.
Josie opened her mouth in shock upon knowing the truth. No wonder Arnold refused to meet her himself âI donât blame themâ Laura smiled bitterly. âJosie, I feel envious of you sometimes. At least you married a competent man.â
Envious? Josie considered silently. Her life was not as perfect as Laura thought.
Marriage of Convenience âBy the way, I want to tell you Iâm getting married next week. You should come to my weddingâ Laura casually dropped the news before taking her bag and leaving Josie was stunned. Wedding? Next week? Thatâs too soon!
âItâs a marriage of convenience to the son of the Olsen family. He had always been interested in her.â
Arnold bent over a canvas in his office in Carter Group. He was focused on painting it..
Josie was astounded by the speed at which Arnold received the news. âWhich Olsen family?â
âIs there any other Olsen family in Wavery?â
Josie fell silent and suddenly recalled that the Olsen family was one of the most prominent families in the business world. It was also Summerâs family. Summer was the woman that caused trouble for Arnold and Dexter.
âWhatâs his name?â
Arnold stood straight and answered, âThe Olsen family has two children. The son is called Zach. He is Summerâs brother.â
Josie had heard about him but did not know much. She realized once again that marriage could be treated. so casually.
âWhat do you think? Want to attend the wedding with me next week?â
Josie looked at him incredulously. âYou ruined her family. How do you dare to show your face?â
Arnold appeared innocent. Im not the only one going. Dexter will go too. You canât just scold me and not him.â
