The next day, Josie woke up early and went to see Paul. As soon as she left, she received a phone call from Justin.

"It's the first tI heard that being someone's henchman comes with a full benefits package." On the other end of the phone, Justin said with conviction, "Not a henchman, but an intelligence agent. Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you." I wouldn't understand? Josie laughed. "All right, it's your call. That's what you learned from Mallory anyway. It's about tto put it to good use." She strolled through the verdant corridor and happened to bump into Mark, who had just returned from his morning run. He was sweaty and panting heavily. Upon seeing her, he quickly caught his breath. "Le—" "Remember to take good care of yourself. Your safety is of utmost importance." After ending the call, Josie finally met Mark's gaze. She clutched her phone tightly, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Can you really handle morning runs at such an age?" Mark's eyes narrowed slightly. He was somewhat taken aback. Is she... worried about me? "Of course I can. The doctor said this amount is just right for me." "Oh..." ." Josie nodded, and the two of them fell into silence.

Wiping his sweat with the towel around his neck, Mark asked, "Leanne, are you... going out? It's Saturday today." "I have arranged to meet with a business partner today with Juliette." "Then you should go," Mark said, clearing the way. "Remember to have breakfast before you leave! Do you need a driver to take you?" "No need." Josie pursed her lips. "You... remember to have breakfast too. Rehydrate and take in more vitamins after exercising." With that, she hurriedly left. For reasons she couldn't explain, uttering those words was more embarrassing than facing Dexter. Mark stood frozen on the spot, taking quite stto recover his senses. Just then, Claudia walked over.

"Cloud, did you hear that? Leanne just showed concern for me." He looked incredulous, like a child.

Claudia approached with a smile. "I did. Look at you, as thrilled as if you've found a treasure." "It's exactly like finding a treasure. But why? Is it because of last night..." Claudia had a look of affectionate annoyance on her face. "Why question the reason behind her concern for you? Isn't it a good thing? What did she say?" "Oh, she askedto stay hydrated and take svitamins! I'm on it right now!" Mark rushed back to the house, appearing not at all like someone in poor health. In fact, he seemed as if he had beca decade younger.

Claudia chuckled and shook her head. She turned around, only to spot a figure standing at the corner. It was Laura.

"Mother." Claudia studied her for a few seconds before saying, "When people get old, there are always expectations in their hearts. Don't mind him." Laura shook her head with a bitter smile. "Why would I? I'm actually envious. Leanne's father still has expectations for her. My father would only abandon me." Had things not been as such in those years, she wouldn't have married Zach and lived such a miserable life.

Claudia seemed lost in thought as she moved forward.

"From the moment you married into the Olsen family, I recognized you as a good child. That's why I was willing to entrust you with most of our family business. However, sthings are predestined. Leanne is our lifeblood, and we might inevitably favor her at times. If you notice this, don't take it to heart." This was a word of caution, as Claudia was discerning enough to see something.

Laura followed behind her.

"Why would? Leanne is my I've never been jealous of her. Mother, I know my place. While managing the business, I'll also stay true to my responsibilities. "That would be best,” Claudia concluded succinctly.

Laura broke into a smile. “It's been a while since I've gone out with you. How about we go shopping in the afternoon?"
