Chapter 555 Let’s Pretend We Don’t Know Each Other 

At the end of the corridor, two women stood facing each other, enveloped in an unusual atmosphere. Josie lowered her head and spoke first, “Mrs. Hadey, I apologize for ruining Summer’s birthday banquet that day.”

Claudia examined her closely, unable to accept the fact that this soft-spoken woman before her was her daughter’s rival in love and Dexter’s wife.

Josie nodded in agreement, “I am equally surprised.”

Josie understood that Dexter’s feelings for her all came down to her appearance. She explained, “I know I bear a resemblance to your missing daughter and Dexter and she shared a special bond from their childhood.”
