Chapter 789 A Nobody
At the standoff, Summer gracefully emerged from the crowd, “Mr. Shaw, you’re in high spirits. You’re willing to take time out of your busy schedule to attend tonight’s fashion banquet, just to share a dance with Mrs. Russell.”
Zachariah’s gaze sharpened instantly. “Ms. Olsen, you’re mistaken. That’s not the purpose of my visit.”
“I heard Mr. Shaw didn’t take on a single project tonight. He only did one thing,” Summer said with a smile, looking at everyone. “You all saw it. He was dancing with Mrs. Russell.”
Josie stood still, her expression growing increasingly unpleasant. She couldn’t understand the sudden appearance of Summer, but she was certain there was no good intention behind it.
Zachariah scoffed coldly. “Dancing with her is hardly a big deal. It’s just an opportunity to appreciate Ms. Warren’s charm.”
When he spoke these words, he didn’t address her as Dexter’s wife. Clearly, he intended to leave Dexter out of it and solely humiliate Josie.
Everyone understood and simultaneously burst into laughter.
It was not exactly friendly.
Summer also laughed, feeling the gaze from the corner. She walked over to Josie with a serious expression. “Mr. Shaw, you shouldn’t make things difficult for Ms. Warren. Who knows how many people. will come to trouble you if she acts coquettishly?”
Josie’s hand was held by Summer. The sudden difficulty made Josie stiffen.
Zachariah, with a hint of discomfort, chuckled at the words. “I must admit that I hadn’t thought it through. Thank you, Ms. Olsen, for showing me the way.”
Summer and Josie exchanged a glance. Summer then said, “Indeed, she never sleeps with a nobody.”
The remark was dripping with sarcasm. Josie’s mouth corners drooped, and she even noticed someone. not far away raising their phone to take a picture.
She wanted to say something, but Summer forcefully silenced her. Lowering her voice, Summer said. “Think carefully. Do you really want to confront me here?”
Josie’s hand, along with her retort, was suppressed.
Until the crowd dispersed, Summer and Josie stood facing each other on the hotel balcony.
Summer raised her wine gla*s, pouring the wine into the flowerpot. “After more than a year of prosperity,
I never thought you’d see this day, Josie. How does it feel to shoot yourself in the foot?”
Josie stood straight, her face expressionless. “I’ve never done such a thing. I have nothing to say.”
“No?” Summer laughed. “Such photos have already been leaked, and you still deny it? Do you enjoy playing the innocent so much? If I were Dexter, I would divorce you immediately.”
It seemed she knew that Josie and Dexter were not yet divorced.
Josie stared at Summer. It had been a long time since they last met, and she noticed a few more fine lines

on her face. It seemed that the scheming and plotting of the Olsen family had not been few.
“We’ve already gotten a divorce, Ms. Olsen. No need for you to worry.”
Summer was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Josie to be so nonchalant. “A-Are you really willing to
divorce him?”
From beginning to end, she believed that what Josie was attracted to was Dexter’s position of power.
“Why wouldn’t I want to? What I desire is not a marriage filled with suspicion. Even without Dexter, I can still live well.”
Josie was so candid that Summer couldn’t help but scoff. “No… Dexter would never agree to this.”
After all that time, she knew Dexter harbored genuine feelings for Josie.
“I’ve made up my mind, and I believe this is also what you want, Ms. Olsen. Once the divorce is finalized, you’ll be the first one I’ll inform. By then, I’m curious to see if you can outshine your own sister and truly become his wife.”
After some thought, Josie found such a scene quite amusing.
“You!” Summer raised her hand.
