Chapter 444 Liana Olsen Josie felt embarrassed with others watching. âThere are people aroundâ¦.â
Dexter smiled. âLauraâs one of us. Why are you embarrassed?â
Laura smiled. âWow, Mr. Russell. Youâre making me jealous. In that case, I should call her my sister-in-
law.â
âThen why havenât you?â
Josie choked when she heard them. She pulled Laura. âIâll be back soon.â
As they stepped into the front yard of Mason Garden, Lauraâs expression turned grim. âDo you know they arrested Eileen?â
Josieâs smile froze. âI didnât hear that. When did it happen?â
âYesterday. They took her in under suspicion of ingesting drugs.â
The weather was bright and sunny. But all Josie felt was the chills on her back. âDid she really?â
Laura stared straight at her. âNo one knows if itâs true. But thatâs what happened.â
Josie could see the spots they were standing in just moments ago. Dexterâs tall figure bent down as he cared for a potted plant. The rays of sun shining down on him made it a pleasing scene.
Laura noticed and looked back. She sighed. âYou shouldnât completely trust the words of the men in this circle. Itâs best to leave, but if you canât, just turn a blind eye. Donât end up like her.
Josie could not identify her own feelings. It was the truth that Eileen had hurt her. But she did hurt Eileen before that. It was a never-ending cycle of harming each other.
Laura was already in the driverâs seat and switched the engine on. Josie suddenly remembered something and stopped the door from closing. She leaned closer. âLaura, do I look very similar to someone?â
Lauraâs actions became stiff. She pressed her lips into a thin line. âWhat?â
âWhen Dexter and I got married, one of the reasons was because I looked like someone. All I know is that sheâs called Leanne. But thatâs probably not a secret.â Josie continued slowly, âIâm wondering if this person is the same one Mark has been missing.â
Laura slowly released her foot that was on the accelerator. She squinted as the sunlight gleamed at her.
She said slowly, âYou didnât know? Leanne was an Olsen. Her full name was Liana Olsen. She was Markâs eldest daughter.â
A sharp humming started in Josieâs ear. Lauraâs mouth kept moving, but Josie could not hear anything else. She could not move her body as though it was paralyzed from being electrocuted.
âLiana disappeared when she was very young. Mark and his wife were devastated. They only had Zach and Summer a year later. Now that you say it, your eyebrows and eyes look the same. No wonder Dexter has a soft spot for you.â
Not only Dexter but even Mark was also particularly caring for Josie.
Summer must have known, or she would not have asked me to change into the dress when I met Mark.
I must have looked identical to Liana at that time.
âJosie! Are you listening?â Laura raised her voice, and Josie was pulled back to reality.
She forced a smile. Thanks for telling me. Now I know.â
Laura hesitated. âDid you meet Mark?â
Jodie continued smiling without a word. She took a few steps back. âYou can go now. Drive safe.â
It turned out that Leanne was the Olsenâs missing daughter. It was not surprising to see a valuable gem being cared for attentively. People have different lives, regardless of how similar they may look.
Josie stood at the same spot and could not help but smile bitterly. It felt like she had stolen another personâs place in their life.
