Taken aback, Josie looked up to meet Dexter’s gaze. She hadn’t expected Grape to think that, and she found herself unable to argue. All she could do was smile and nod in agreement.

“You’ve decided to take it over?” Inside the Olsen family’s study, Mark let out a sound of surprise and delight. He repeatedly slapped the table, exclaiming, “Brilliant, just brilliant!”

Standing by the side, Laura lightly chuckled. “Jo, what made you suddenly see the light? Is this the result of Juliette’s sweet talk?”

“After interacting with her, I felt we were quite compatible, so I decided to give it a shot. You were right. Upon returning to Wavery, I needed to make a pledge of allegiance.” After Josie finished speaking, she turned to Mark and said, “However, I have one condition.”

Mark was more than happy to listen. “Go on, is it a matter of payment? That’s no issue at all.”

“I want to move out of the Olsen Residence.”

As the words fell, Mark’s expression changed. “Why?”

“My health has improved, and I now have the means to find a place to live in Wavery, so I don’t want to trouble you any longer.”

Though it was said so, the truth was, there was no desire to maintain any further contact with them.

Mark wore a troubled expression as he attempted to persuade her. “Listen, Leanne, no matter where you are, you’re still a daughter of the Olsen family, you’re Liane Olsen. It doesn’t make sense for you not to live in the Olsen Residence. Of course, I’m not against it. If you insist, I can arrange for you to live somewhere else and provide you with house staff.”
