Chapter 697 Liana’s Welcoming Banquet
Laura waved her hand. “Mark and Clauha suspected this but found other ways to confirm Heather’s identity. They checked the birthmarks on her body and found them to be the same as Liana’s. That was why they confirmed that Heather was Lana
Joste had heard about Liana having birthmarks. However, it had been too long since she saw the missing person’s notice that she forgot what birthmark it was
“Could the birthmarks be taked?”
Laura shook her head. “Even if someone were to fake the birthmarks, they would have to know their position and appearance. However, Mark and his wife are the only ones who know what they look like. It’s nearly impossible for anyone to imitate them.”
In other words, Heather had to be Liana.
Josie understood upon hearing Laura’s explanation.
Meanwhile, Laura lay on the couch and covered her face with her hands. She asked curiously, “Why did you ask? Do you suspect something?”
“You said Heather passed the DNA test and had the right birthmarks. How would I dare to suspect anything? Forget my nonsense.” Josie finished her cup of coffee and frowned at the bitterness.
Laura observed Josie and said, “Don’t blame me for not warning you. Heather is now Liana, meaning she is someone precious to Dexter in his youth. Things are different now.”
“I heard a rival company tried to bring Dexter down when he was at the peak of his authority. The company put in a massive effort to search for Liana, which rivaled even the Olsen family. They wanted to find her and use her to threaten Dexter. This might sound harsh, but if Liana decides to compete with you for Dexter, you might lose.”
Laura’s words were harsh, but Josie did not care. “I’ve been Dexter’s wife for many years. If he chooses to abandon me for Liana, there’s no point fighting it.”
Laura stood up and approached Josie. “I don’t mean he will give up immediately. But it’s hard not to compare you to Liana. Furthermore, what if she keeps taking up his affection? If this persists, who knows how long he can resist before giving in to his desire.”
That meant Liana would always be a thorn in Josie’s side and a threat to her marriage.
Josie pondered briefly and shook her head. “It won’t happen.”
Laura sighed and did not press the matter.
“How did Summer react to Liana?”
Jusie believed Summer would see Liana as her rival for her family’s affection and would not stand her.
“Surprisingly, Summer is exceptionally friendly to Liana. I wonder if Summer is acting out of fear for her position. Laura explained indifferently. “Still, no one will expose her even if she’s acting. The Olsen family needs to maintain a harmonious front.”
Josie was briefly silent before asking. “It’s Liana’s welcoming banquet today. Why aren’t you attending?”

You have your reason for not going Its the same for me
Josie and Laura exchanged glances and smiled at their shared anguish
After a while, Alice entered with documents. These are the documents that require your signature)
Josie checked each document and signed them After some time, she paused and asked, “Is Russell Group reorganizing its design department?”
Since she left the company, the department could never find someone suitable to lead it. Moreover, Josie had opened her studio. Thus, Dexter decided to break up the department. Furthermore, the company had also given up on real estate, switching to other investment areas.
Yet, Russell Group was rebuilding the design department. How could Josie not know the company was making such an arrangement?
“From what I’ve heard, the department is recruiting and offering generous benefits.”
“I understand.” Josie felt strange and put the document down.
It was night by the time she finished dealing with work matters. She suddenly turned to Laura and asked, “Regarding the matter with Arnold, how long do you think it will take him to recover?”
Laura looked at Josie meaningfully, “Are you kidding me? You’re still worried about him?”
