Grape leaned towards her, exclaiming, “Mommy!”

Lachlan cast a warm glance in her direction, but as his gaze fell upon her standing shoulder to shoulder with Dexter, the smile on his lips froze instantly.

Subconsciously, Josie took a step back, distancing herself slightly from Dexter. “How did you all get here?”

The scene was lively. Everyone had followed Lily. Only Dexter noticed Josie’s deliberate distance. His face sank into a weary pallor.

“You seemed to be in a difficult situation. The organizer had given me a heads-up, and when I arrived, I happened to see a suspicious person trying to leave. Something didn’t feel right.” Lachlan shifted his gaze away from Dexter.

“I’m extremely grateful to you. Without you, I truly wouldn’t know how to prove my innocence.” With sincere gratitude, Josie took Grape from Lachlan’s arms and playfully toyed with her.

Dexter stood behind the three of them like an outsider.

Perhaps it was his overwhelming aura that made the scene somewhat eerie. Lachlan couldn’t ignore Dexter’s presence. He asked softly, “Who is this?”

Josie subtly glanced sideways, finding an appropriate identity for Dexter. “He’s Mr. Russell of Russell Group.”

Of course, Lachlan knew Dexter. When he returned to his country, he had already figured out who Dexter was. Dexter, who single- handedly saved the entire city, was a prominent figure in Wavery. Apart from his Russell Group, the Russell family’s influence in Wavery was unparalleled, and he had already become the head of the family.

In other words, Dexter was a very formidable and highly respected man.
