Chapter 790 Original Photo
Josie blocked her and raised her chin pridefully. “Who does Heather think she is? How dare she compete with me?” Summer was fuming with frustration.
Josie raised an eyebrow. It seems that the relationship between the two sisters isn’t good. Moreover, Summer’s desire to become Dexter’s wife is undying. However, she’s still married to Arnold.
“Isn’t that so?” Josie released her hand and sized her up. “I didn’t understand it until I saw Heather. She’s always in a white dress, gentle in demeanor, just like you were at the beginning, Summer. You’ve been. imitating her all along, trying to make Dexter happy, just like she does.”
At Josie’s words, Summer’s brows furrowed, a trace of an indiscernible emotion crossing her face. It was obvious that Josie had seen right through her.
“Perhaps you imitated the old Liana because of her demeanor. You might not have even realized that one day Liana would return to Dexter’s side, and at the same time, take away Mark’s affection, Summer, I truly find you pitiful,” Josie said, each word pronounced distinctly.
The retort she couldn’t voice in the crowd was now fully vented in solitude, bringing her a great deal of relief.
Summer looked at Josie with a peculiar gaze, one that traveled from top to bottom, and then suddenly, she laughed. It was a genuine, amused kind of laughter. She said, “Josie, you’re too full of yourself.”
Josie furrowed her brows.
“Perhaps you will never truly understand what’s going on until the day you vanish from Wavery,” Summer
said.
After saying that, Summer laughed even harder.
Utterly baffled, Josie broke out in a cold sweat and was about to leave when suddenly, Summer called out to stop her.
“Josie, I know who the man in the photo is.”
Josie’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
Summer took steps toward her, their eyes meeting once again. Josie said slowly, “You did it. The photos, you’re the one who sent them.”
Summer wore an expression of modesty when she said, “I couldn’t possibly orchestrate such a large operation on my own. However, I do indeed have the original photo in my possession. If I send out these photos, what do you think Arnold will do?”
When she uttered Arnold’s name, it signified that she indeed had the photograph in her possession.
Josie’s fingers clenched tightly as she struggled to calm herself down. “I think you should be threatening. Arnold with this, not me,” she said. “After all, my reputation is already ruined. It won’t matter to me if people find out who the man is. But it’s different for you. You’ll have to deal with the gossip about a man’s infidelity, and it could even bring down the Carter Group.”
“Yes. When the time comes, the public will sympathize with me, and the Olsen family’s stocks will rise. Even my parents will feel sorry for me. I might even get a divorce. As for the Carter Group you

mentioned, what does their downfall have to do with me? I still have the Olsen family and fifteen percent of the shares. Whatever happens to Arnold, it really has nothing to do with me.”
Summer spoke quickly, surprising yet also expected by Josie.
Indeed, Summer had always been such a selfish woman.
“By the way, there’s another advantage. With the Carter Group’s downfall, Russell Group might very well turn the tide in their favor.”
Summer said so much without making Josie show any emotion. Josie frowned when she asked, “Are you going to publish the photos?”
Summer pursed her lips. “It depends on my mood. Maybe one day, when I’m in a good mood, I’ll publish them.”
Being threatened and controlled wasn’t a pleasant feeling.
Josie was inclined to let her do so, but she had made a promise to Arnold to help him unconditionally once, so those photos could not be revealed.
