Chapter 826 Confirming Her Plastic Surgery
Just as Heather thought Josie might continue, the latter didn’t make any further moves. Josie settled into her seat, dealing with official matters on her computer alongside Angel. The two groups didn’t interact again until the plane was ready to take off.
Heather sat beside Claudia, observing her mother closely. “Mother, it’s not that I don’t care about you… It’s just that the past is also painful for me, and I’d rather not dwell on it.”
Claudia was once connected with Josie, and Heather was worried that Josie’s words might affect the older woman.
Upon hearing this, Claudia simply patted Heather’s hand and sighed. “You’re overthinking it, Leanne. You’re my daughter, and you don’t need to worry about such things. I’m more concerned about you than anything else. When I think of the hardships and challenges you’ve faced, it breaks my heart.”
Heather relaxed slightly at Claudia’s words, a subtle hint of relief in her eyes. The airplane soon landed in Wavery. Josie instructed Angel to deliver the documents to the Russell Group, while she took a taxi to another location.
During the ride, she powered on her phone, and the first thing that caught her eye was today’s news. A vivid picture of her and Morgan, appearing intimately close at the airport, filled her screen.
In the photo, Morgan was adjusting her hair while she adjusted his tie, unmistakably portraying them as a couple deeply connected.
The press reported that Josie had left Dexter and was immediately whisked away by a mysterious tycoon, which seemed like a deliberate provocation. A provocation, huh? Josie smiled. Well, I suppose so.
The vehicle pulled up at Heaven on Earth. Before entering, Josie attempted to call Laura but was promptly hung up on. Puzzled, she received a message from Laura instead: I’m busy. If there’s something, just say it straight.
Josie sensed an odd tone but initially thought she might be overthinking it. She began typing a response to ask for a favor when she suddenly heard someone call her name.
“Josie.”
Startled, her finger slipped, accidentally sending the incomplete message. She looked up and was surprised to see Mallory stepping out of another car, about to enter Heaven on Earth.
The woman took off her sungla*ses and studied Josie intently.
“Mallory?” Josie walked over. “What a coincidence.”
Mallory glanced around and commented, “Aren’t you afraid of being photographed here, now that you’re a famous celebrity?”
“You’re here with me and you always find a way to protect me.” Josie replied confidently

Their connection was unusual. They didn’t have much in common, yet Josie instinctively trusted Mallory. It was as if she didn’t need to question it; her trust in Mallory was unwavering.
Mallory smiled and led Josie inside. They took the elevator to the top floor and entered a private room with the utmost privacy.
“Now, tell me, why did you want to meet all of a sudden?” Mallory inquired.
Josie stood on the balcony, gazing at the surrounding view. “I know,” she began, “there’s nothing in all of Wavery that Calvin doesn’t know about. So, the fact that you’ve managed to stay by his side for so long must mean you possess extraordinary abilities.”
Mallory flipped her long hair back casually. “Spare me the flattery and get to the point.”
With a knowing smile, Josie pulled out her phone and showed Mallory a video. “You’ve seen this person. before. Take a close look. Do you think she’s had any plastic surgery on her face?”
Mallory seemed surprised at first sight. “She’s the missing daughter of the Olsen family?”
The video had been recorded covertly, but it was of such high quality that one could see every detail on Heather’s face.
Mallory surveyed the surroundings cautiously. “Our country doesn’t have such advanced plastic surgery technology, so…”
Josie’s anticipation lifted as she waited for Mallory to continue.
