Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1023

"Your former best friend has already secured five million and is now living a prosperous life with her family. For her, it's a fair deal. Mark, who assisted in your abduction of me, accidentally injured himself. Now, he is facing multiple charges and awaits sentencing."

"As for Arnold, his whereabouts remain unknown to this day."

With everything said and done, Rachel found herself in a nearly hopeless situation. She stared blankly at the ceiling, imagining her impending fate.

Suddenly, she spoke, "Don't be too pleased with yourself, Josie. I have never regretted it."

Josie remained silent, waiting for Rachel's next words.

"On the contrary, I am deeply grateful to Arnold. Without him, I would still be an unwanted orphan. Just an ordinary person among the masses, struggling for three meals a day, looked down upon by others, with no one to rely on. He gave me an opportunity, and I seized it desperately. If I hadn't held on tightly, that would have been my fate." Rachel spoke softly. "At least I have experienced the life of the wealthy, and I have seen what a good man in this world looks like. I knew all along that Dexter was using me, but I didn't want to believe it. I preferred to think that he had even a shred of genuine feelings for me, even if it was just for the identity of Liana!"

"You have never experienced it, have you? Distributing flyers in the biting cold of winter, a task that took up an entire day, just to earn a living. Washing thousands of dishes every day, regardless of whether you were studying or working. Always having to cater to others' whims. I have had enough of such days. You are truly fortunate." Rachel's dry eyes suddenly welled up with tears. "Why is it that you can effortlessly receive all of Dexter's love? You are even the real Liana, the future heir of the Olsen family. All the beauty in this world is bestowed upon you. Why is it so? It's just not fair..."

This person had simply gone mad. Josie looked at her, suddenly letting out a scoff, "I never thought you were like me in the past, but now I find quite a resemblance. "Everything you've mentioned, I have experienced it all. You say you are an orphan with no one to rely on. However, at least you didn't have to endure the hardship of a seriously ill father in the hospital, unable to afford the medical bills. Washing dishes, handing out flyers, setting up stalls, and working part-time as a tutor, I have done it all. I even worked several jobs in a day. I have had it much, much harder than you. Would you still say I was fortunate if you had seen me back then? As for the Olsen family, I admit that I am Liana, but I am reluctant to return to that place."

Josie looked down at Rachel, her gaze filled with disdain.

The latter clearly didn't believe her. She refused to believe that Josie had such an experience. After a moment, she said, "You have to admit, if Dexter hadn't helped you, you wouldn't have been successful in exposing me. You would have been forever under my foot, unnoticed by anyone."

Even at that point, she was still regretting not being more meticulous, more ruthless.

Josie paused for a moment, her gaze instinctively drifting towards the door. Rachel was right. If it weren't for Dexter, I wouldn't have had such a smooth journey. Regardless, he had lent me a hand, and that is why I am where I am today.

Meanwhile, outside the door, Dexter was leaning against the wall, having finished smoking three cigarettes. Secretary Huo's phone calls kept coming in, one after another, reminding him that the meeting had already started ten minutes ago. If he didn't show up soon, the shareholders were going to lose their minds.

Yet, Dexter kept saying, "Just wait a little longer."

Seeing the situation unfold, Moses couldn't stand by any longer. He attempted to reassure him, "Don't worry about Josie. With me and the others here, nothing will happen."

Dexter didn't voice whether it was good or bad, he just continued to smoke.
