“Mr. Russell, congratulations for your success!”
“Mr. Russell, the acquisition of Landon by Russell Group is considered their greatest blessing.”
They stood before Dexter and raised a toast in his honor. Dexter received a glass and passed it to Josie before
receiving another.
“Thank you. But I’m afraid that Arnold will not be pleased by your comment.”
The people who were present observed how he was taking care of Josie, even a man in a blue suit. The man walked
over and contributed to their conversation, “It seems that Dexter may be overly concerned. Landon isn’t something
I must hold on to. I’ll gladly pass it to you.”
His eyes immediately rested on Josie. “Take it as a present to your…” He left his last word lingering for a few
moments before continuing, “New girlfriend.”

Josie felt her heart sink while everyone stared at her intently, growing more curious about her identity.
“She’s my wife.”
Everyone, including Josie, was startled by his revelation. Even Arnold raised his eyebrows in disbelief. He was
impressed that Josie managed to get Dexter to publicly clarify the nature of the relationship.
“Mrs. Russell? When did Mr. Russell get married? I never heard any news about it.”
The elderly CEOs at the party were unhappy to learn that a highly accomplished young man in Wavery was
married.

wittily. “How is it my honor to marry him? He’s the one lucky to have me as his wife.”

replied, “Yes, I’m the lucky guy.”
Arnold smirked. “They look good together.”
Dexter held her hands and introduced her to the executives of Russell Group. She was addressed as Mrs. Russell in
a respectful and affable tone by everyone. Suddenly, someone commented, “Why does she seem familiar?”
Josie immediately replied, “I get that a lot.”
After an hour, Josie felt her feet were starting to sore from continuously walking around without rest. Dexter guided

poor, she let out a deep sigh.
Suddenly, she caught sight of a woman entering the ballroom hastily. She was dressed entirely in branded clothing
and accessories from head to toe. She quickly exchanged a few words with a middle-aged man before dashing in
her direction.

nearby.

“Arnold! Why are you taking her side? You know she…” She was becoming visibly frustrated as her face started to
turn red.
