"How many of you came? Where is Laura? How is she?" "Speak of the devil, she's here. She happened to be in Rivodia and said she would take us out to celebrate today." As Alice lifted her head, she was surprised to see a woman leaning elegantly against a luxury sedan not far away.
Laura was wearing a long green dress and delicately holding a thin cigarette in her hand. She was not only beautiful but had also matured significantly.
Josie looked over and saw the parking lot. Mallory and Morgan's cars were also parked there. Mallory was on the phone with someone, while Morgan sat in his car, positioned directly opposite Laura.
Josie walked over, calling out, "Laura!" The woman who was smoking hesitated for a moment. When she looked over, her face instantly lit up with delight. "Josie?" She extinguished her cigarette and quickly stepped forward to hug Josie.

"Why didn't you tellyou were back? How did you end up here?" Mallory was on the phone when she heard the commotion and immediately looked over.
Josie shook her head at her.
In the end, she got into Laura's car, and Mallory left by herself.
The two of them spent a lot of tcatching up on the events of the past two years. Laura carefully looked at Josie. "Why haven't you returned to Wavery? Mom and Dad miss you a lot." Mom and Dad? Upon hearing this address, Josie was taken aback.
Realizing something was wrong, Laura decided not to ask any further.
"I've heard that you've managed the Olsen family business brilliantly these past two years. I'm impressed." Josie expressed her sincere admiration. She glanced at the rearview mirror, suddenly realizing that Morgan was not following them.
She knew that he was someone fickle, so his stint as a "bodyguard" would never last long.
"Not really. | had to learn along the way." "As for Zach, he probably can't do anything to you, right?" Upon hearing this, Laura's hand, which was gripping the steering wheel, stiffened momentarily. It seemed as if she was pondering over the underlying intentions behind Josie's question.
"He, of course, can't do anything." "I can see that. The moment | returned to the country, your magazine cover was the first thing | saw." In reality, it wasn't that, but rather the sight of Laura entwined with another man, something she found inappropriate to mention.

"Is that so? You seem to have a keen eye then." Josie didn't understand, so she leaned in and asked, "Who is the man on the cover?" Laura furrowed her brows, scrutinizing Josie's face. "You... don't recognize him?" "What do you mean? Do | know him?" Josie wore a look of confusion, which somewhat reassured Laura. "Oh, you don't know him." Laura explained evasively, "He works in finance." Josie, noticing her reluctance to answer, decided not to press further.
She simply patted Laura's hand to comfort her.
There was a dinner gathering for the studio's staff that night, and Laura had reserved the best seats. Josie initially didn't want to go, but considering the imminent collaboration between the two parties, she ultimately decided to.
She made a video call to Dexter, but to her surprise, Grape answered. In a sweet tone, Grape called out, "Mommy." "Sweetie, why are you answering the phone?" "Daddy is at work and left his phone on the couch. | picked it up when it rang." Josie's smile unconsciously grew even sweeter as she reassured Grape that she would cha bit later, so there was no need for Grape to worry.
Grape acknowledged her words without crying or causing a fuss.
