Chapter 874 How To Be A Good Husband
“Ms. Warren’s horse riding skills are truly impressive. No wonder she is an equestrian champion. It turns out it was all thanks to Mr. Russell’s training-” As he spoke, he walked away, not noticing Morgan in his blind spot.
The moment the latter came into view, his voice abruptly ceased.
The reason was that he also saw Laura.
She was standing at the back the whole time, her face devoid of any expression.
The equestrian champion’s female companion was still standing by his side with an intimate posture.
Zach immediately withdrew his hand.
With her hands folded, Josie said leisurely, “Mr. Zach sure knows how to enjoy the good life. I just didn’t realize that even an equestrian champion needs to play dirty tricks to win.”
She was insinuating about his companion’s recent actions.
The female companion was already irritated and couldn’t hold it in any longer. “I’m much better than you,” she said. “You think you’re so capable, but you still rely on men.”
Josie’s face changed color, and Morgan’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to step forward, Laural preempted them from behind.
With a serious expression, she picked up a bottle of red wine and approached. Simultaneously, she picked up the bottle opener and popped it open with a bang.
Zach looked at her in disbelief. “What are you doing, Laura?”
In equal disbelief, the woman in his arms dodged instantly,
Laura, however, stared at her and burst into sudden laughter. “You’re not the person I saw last time.”
Then she said to Zach, “What about Ms. Shaw? Weren’t you completely devoted to her?”
After he was exposed in front of so many people, Zach’s face turned red in anger and embarrassment. “What the hell does my business have anything to do with you!”
Rumors were rife that he was hen-pecked by a woman. Now, in front of so many people, he naturally. couldn’t tolerate being humiliated.
Laura nodded, lifting the wine bottle. Seeing Zach almost hide behind his female companion, she laughed and took a sip.
Zach breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, after she finished drinking, she raised her hand and splashed the wine onto Zach’s face.
“F*ck!”
“I’ll teach you how to be a good husband today!”
After finishing her drink, Laura laughed and said to his female companion, “After he got bored of his last

woman, he her to work at the club. Do you understand what I mean?”
These words sent chills down the woman’s spine.
“Get out of here, now!”
The woman flinched, her face turned pale. After stomping her foot in exasperation, she quickly ran away.
With a commanding presence akin to that of a matriarch, Laura smashed the wine bottle on the ground.
Taken aback, Josie frowned as she watched. Laura was usually patient and reserved, hence her assertiveness that day was unexpected. She wondered if the latter had been provoked.
When Dexter caught Morgan’s subconscious gesture of protecting Josie, his eyes darkened slightly.
Heather tugged at the corner of his clothes. “Dex…”
Dexter lowered his gaze. “Let’s go.”
There was a cocktail party afterward, but Zach didn’t attend anymore. Laura quietly touched up her makeup. “Old Mr. Olsen has called him away.”
As Zach’s actions had completely disgraced the Olsen family, he needed to be taught a serious lesson. With Mark absent, the party was hosted by Claudia. As expected, it was to pave the way for Heather. Laura couldn’t be bothered to listen any further. She picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Morgan, teasing him, “Dr. Morgan, we meet again. Oh, I should call you Mr. Bastille now.”
Morgan stood beside Josie, taking the wine glass without a change in expression. “Ms. Brandel, are you feeling better now?”
Laura laughed and said, “Even if I’m not well, I can’t get you to treat me anymore.”
Morgan just smiled without saying a word.
Meanwhile, Josie’s mind wasn’t on their pleasantries but on Claudia.
She announced on stage that Heather’s art exhibition would be held next Saturday. Coincidentally, next Saturday was Heather’s birthday, so she hoped that everyone could come and support the latter.
Heather was standing by the side, smiling elegantly.
Meanwhile, Josie suddenly realized that all these years, she didn’t know when her own birthday was. She had always designated it on the day Paul found her.
So, next Saturday is her birthday.
