StarNovelRyan did not respond.
She had no choice but to put on the headphones. The sound was initially fuzzy, but after a while, it becclear.
To her surprise, it was Heather's.

After a moment, Dexter's somewhat distant voice cthrough. “Okay. You decide.” Josie subconsciously clenched her fist.
Heather added relentlessly, “What do you think of this wedding dress? If you find it beautiful, I'll have it custom- made right away.” Dexter seemed to glance over. “It suits you very well.” Heather laughed joyfully, wrapping her arms around his neck from behind. “I hope my father's intentions haven't put you in a difficult position. I've been looking forward to being your wife ever since | was a little girl.” Dexter chuckled lightly. “Being able to marry you is my fortune. | should have given you more tto prepare, but the situation doesn't wait for anyone. | hope you understand.” Heather held on tighter, a hint of nervousness in her voice as she asked, “Dex, did you have a wedding ceremony when you married her?” That question plunged both parties into a brief silence.
Josie felt a bit breathless. She and Dexter had only obtained their marriage certificate. They never had a wedding ceremony. Her grandfather had mentioned it, and so had he, but in the end, it was all left unresolved due to their busy schedules. Is he going to arrange a wedding for Heather now? Indeed, it's only fitting for the daughter of the Olsen family to receive such treatment.
“No.” Dexter's voice was low.
“Am |, in any way, special, then?” Heather asked bravely.
“Of course.” Josie removed her headphones and took a deep breath, preventing herself from suffocating.
Ryan stood to one side, silently watching her movements.

It can hear every move of Dexter, and no one has opened it. Mr. Bastille is giving it to you, hoping you can rest assured.” Josie furrowed her brows. She hadn't expected Morgan to give her the computer.
From the moment he installed the bug, she thought he was going to control everything. Now, he's actually givingfull authority? “What is he playing at?” Ryan shook his head. “He has your best interest at heart.” Josie stared at him for a while. Then, after a moment, she chose to close the laptop and take it with her. “Thank him for me.” Ryan followed her.
“Why are you still following me?” “Mr. Bastille insists on ensuring you get hsafely.” Josie wanted to ask why was he bothering to escort her hnow when he didn't assign anyone to pick her up.
However, recalling the lingering fear from earlier, she didn't refuse. “Thank you.” Coincidentally, when Josie arrived at the door, Angel was standing nearby, holding files, clearly having waited for a long time.
She saw Josie and quickly stepped forward. “Ms. Jo.” Then, she noticed Ryan behind her, somewhat surprised.
Her voice softened. “Where have you been?” Josie followed her gaze and also looked at Ryan.
“Handled sbusiness. What's the matter?” “These are the backlog files from the studio. | brought them over for you to sign.” “Didn't | say to give full authority to Alice to run the company when I'm not around?” Angel nodded. “These are things that Alice couldn't handle, so she askedto bring them over.” Josie understood and led her into the house, leaving Ryan outside. Unable to resist, Angel asked, “Why is Mr.
Garcia with you?” Josie signed her name, her expression unchanged. “Angel, have you broken up with Jade?”
