Chapter 848 Sold Off By An Acquaintance
As if nothing had happened, Josie carried on with her life and work as usual after leaving the Olsen family.
Russell Group’s construction company had taken on several major projects. She hadn’t completely disengaged from her work there, and had a certain amount of authority to get them to collaborate with the studio. That made her exceptionally busy.
Vith how busy everyone got, they forgot about her story with Dexter.
“Ms. Jo, I’ve noticed that all the recent major projects initially involved the Carter Group,” Angel casually mentioned while printing out some documents.
Jade, who happened to be nearby, asked, “How did you know?”
“There’s a rumor going around online. Look at this. It’s a picture of a seaside luxury hotel. The word on the web is that it was supposed to belong to the Carter Group, but somehow, it ended up in the hands of the Russell Group,” Angel said, sounding quite certain.
Josie glanced over while listening to them. This project was highly sought after even before the public bidding began.
That’s quite normal. The Russell Group and the Carter Group have been competing for a long time,” said Jade.
Angel suddenly became upset. “Why do you have to argue with everything I say?”
“Me? How am I being argumentative? I’m just stating the facts,” Jade said, looking genuinely puzzled.
Angel was impatient and didn’t want to talk to him anymore. She left with the printed materials in her arms. Jade was surprised and asked Josie, “Ms. Jo, do you think I was being argumentative?”
Leaning leisurely to one side, Josie glanced at the retreating figure of Angel. She sensed something, but chose not to comment on it. “Girls need a bit more coaxing,” she advised him.
Feeling somewhat wronged, Jade still ended up chasing after Angel.
Whenever Josie had some free time from her busy work schedule, she would go visit Henry.
Henry was still not very conscious, so he often mistook her for Liana. She never minded that thought In fact, she payed listening to his stories from the past. Sometimes, she would even take the initiative to ask him sen questions.
Sun, Josie came to understand what Liana used to enjoy doing.
She loved to draw, often got lost, adored small animals, and enjoyed wearing white dresses. She also liked
to stick around Dexter.
Josie would often lose herself in thought while listening Now, some of the hobbies Liana loved as a child no longer heid her interest.
She never wore a white dres:
At first, Marilyn was worried that Josie would get upset upon hearing these things. However, as time went on, not only was size net upset, but she also enjoyed listening to them. As a result, she often chimed in with
a few words of her own.

der face up with her hands. “Marilyn, you said Liana disappeared at night. Wasn’t she at home? Don’t tell me she just vanished into thin air?”
Marilyn sighed. “It’s really strange The Olsen Residence didn’t have any surveillance cameras. The surveillance cameras were only on the streets, but those did not contain footage of her leaving. Afte several years of investigation, it was suggested that she might have been taken away by someone she
knew.”
An acquaintance?” Josie frowned.
“Yes. It should be someone from the Olsen family whom Liana trusted. However, the Olsen family has not been able to point out the suspect.”
Upon receiving the crucial information, Josie’s heart pounded in shock.
Did she get sold off? But, why was she eventually taken to the hospital and then adopted by Pop? Why did that person kidnap her and sell her off?
As Josie pondered, a chill ran down her spine.
Two days later, she finally met Justin.
The hidden coffee shop required a detour through several alleys. Josie walked all the way in, finding a spot in the corner of the shop. There sat Justin, donning a baseball cap and a mask.
She walked over, her brows furrowed as she asked, “Are you pretending to be a spy?”
Glancing around, Justin said, “Ah, I was worried that someone might be tailing you.”
Josie put down her bag and sat down, calmly saying, “We are siblings, so it’s normal for us to meet occasionally. Act more natural and stop hiding.”
Upon hearing this, Justin finally stood up straight.
“A few days ago, you asked Mallory to entrust me with a task, and I have an update about it.” He took an envelope out of his bag and continued, “Heather secretly met up with a famous art teacher in Wavery
