Chapter 3 Heartless Capitalist

  • Dexter had no intention of wasting more time with Josie. He stared at her nonchalantly with his almond-shaped eyes and said, "My villa is in Mason Garden. I'll send the address and password to you later. You may move in tonight."
  • "...Okay."
  • They had to put up a good act. Besides, she had wanted to move out of her place, so she didn't mind at all.
  • "I'll bring you to meet Grandpa tomorrow." Even though he was unwilling to accept that his grandfather could only live for half a year more, he said, "We'll divorce half a year later. During this period, you just need to coax him and make him happy. Don't think about anything else."
  • Josie perceived the meaning of his cold words — she shouldn't hope to remain as 'Mrs. Russell' for long.
  • "I understand. About my father…"
  • Dexter checked his watch and said, "I'll send someone to make the necessary arrangements immediately."
  • "Alright. Thank you, Mr. Russell."
  • With that, he got into the black Rolls-Royce and left.
  • I can't believe this guy just ditched me after registering our marriage. What a heartless capitalist.
  • Josie pouted. She had only two quarters left after paying the fees for marriage registration. So, she decided to take the public bus.
  • Upon arriving home, Josie could hear Jenny Turner, her mother's voice, before entering the house because the soundproof system was terrible.
  • "Don't worry, Justin. Mr. Lowry is pleased with your sister. No matter what, I'll think of a way to make your sister marry him. By that time, we'll have money to settle the betrothal gift for Nicole and your house after you get married."
  • How brilliant it is to sell the daughter so that the son can get married.
  • When Josie entered the house, both Jenny and Justin looked at her.
  • Jenny said, "Jack is very happy with you. I know you're displeased with him, but he's a decent man. Despite being slightly advanced in age, he will treat you well. Moreover, you don't have to bear a child after marrying him. You…"
  • Josie rolled her eyes speechlessly. What's so honorable about becoming a stepmother?
  • She interrupted Jenny and blurted, "Say as you please, but I'll not marry him."
  • Jenny hit the table and scowled, "Josie Warren, you have to marry him! I'm your mother, so I have a say in your marriage!"
  • Josie took out the marriage certificate from her handbag and said with a smile, "I'm already married. Bigamy is a crime."
  • Jenny dashed forward and gasped, "You're already married?! To whom?"
  • Before Jenny could snatch the marriage certificate, Josie kept it back into her bag and threw her identity document on the table.
  • She naturally wouldn't tell Jenny that she was married to Russell Group's president, so she hummed insouciantly, "He works as a waiter in a restaurant. Didn't you want me to get married as soon as possible and get out of this house? Your wish has come true."
  • "You… You… Josie Warren, you're driving me crazy!" Jenny snarled while covering her chest with her hand.
  • Josie ignored her and went to pack her stuff in her room.
  • A few minutes later, Jenny regained her composure and went to Josie's room.
  • "Josie, I don't care who you're married to. Justin and Nicole are getting married soon, so you have to contribute something as an elder sister!"
  • "I don't have money."
  • Jenny grasped Josie's hand. "Then divorce the man immediately and marry Jack! We raised you all these years. As a sister, you can't brush your brother aside!"
  • Coldness flashed through Josie's eyes as she shoved away Jenny's hand.
  • "Dad was the one raising me all these years. Ever since he ran into a car accident, I've worked hard to earn my tuition fees at university. When did you contribute to raising me?"
  • Josie glared at Justin, who was leaning against the door, looking at them. "Moreover, I'm not your biological daughter. I have no obligation to help this younger brother who has no blood relation with me!"
  • At the age of twelve, Josie had a car accident and lost all her memories.
  • Paul Warren, who was working in the hospital then, adopted her. Over the years, Josie had not developed a good relationship with Jenny and Justin, unlike with Paul…
