Chapter 573 Hold Tight Dexterâs gentleness made Josie regret remembering someone whom she shouldnât. She cracked a smile. âI hope I didnât disgrace you.â
Dexter replied with a smile, âNot at all. When did you learn the piano?â
âWhen I was in uni.â Josie thought about it and answered honestly.
She could feel Dexterâs hand stiffen momentarily.
âYouâre pretty good at it.â
Meanwhile, the guests who attended the wedding realized how absurd the rumors were. How would a loving couple like Dexter and Josie possibly get divorced?
âIâm tired.â Josie mumbled.
Her face was pale. Dexter carried her to the lounge, which was a quiet space. âI still need to talk to some people. Rest here first. Weâll go home together later.â
Josie nodded. âOkay. Iâll wait for you.
Dexter kissed her on her forehead before striding back to the hall that was filled with materialistic people. Everyone was socializing with the intention to garner benefits.
Josie sat obediently in the lounge. There were only servers passing by with food and drinks.
The servers, too, had witnessed Josie outshining Xenia just now and admired her boldness and dignity.
A server approached her and asked, âMrs. Russell, would you like to have some drinks?â
Josie was thirsty, so she thought about it and said, âCan I have some orange juice, please? Thank you.â
Just as the server was about to pass a glass of orange juice to Josie, a fair hand intercepted and took over the glass to pass it to Josie.
Surprised, Josie lifted her head to see a familiar face. âSummer?â
Dressed in a white gown, Summer stood arrogantly before Josie.
The observant server sensed something was off and quickly left.
Holding the glass of juice, Summer uttered, âYouâve gained all the spotlights in my wedding, Mrs.
Russell.â
She had seen how composed Josie was and knew she could never be as elegant as her. Even Claudia was impressed by Josieâs poise, which made Summer even more annoyed..
She would be in deep waters if Josie returned to the Olsen family.
Josie adjusted her shawl alertly and asked, âWhat do you want?â
âWhat else can I do? Youâre so capable; thereâs nothing I can do to you.â Summer sat down beside Josie and said saltily, âBesides, Iâm well aware that thereâs no chance between Dexter and me.â
Josie didnât intend to act before Summer. âIâm glad you know.â

O âHowever, it doesnât mean that others donât stand a chance. You better hold tight to the identity and donât be dragged down.â
Josie was not interested in entertaining Summer but silently clenched her fists.
âYou should worry for yourself if youâre so free. Oh well. Arnoldâs parents are no longer around, so you donât have to deal with the elders. But he has plenty of women out there. Are you able to secure him?â
Josie smirked. âEven the public knows he loves you. But if he really does, why is he involved in so many scandals during this period?â
Josieâs comment hit the bullâs-eye. Summer tightened her grip on the glass. Indeed, Arnold was a ladiesâ man. Xenia didnât mess with her but went after Summer; this proved she knew who Arnold truly cared.
for.
âThatâs none of your business.â
Josie took the glass of juice from Summer and said, âMy matter is none of your business too.â
Summer stood up with a grin. âFrom now on, Iâm Mrs. Carter. Weâll inevitably meet on various occasions, and I look forward to it, Mrs. Russell.â
