Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1310

Her words resonated powerfully, causing the room to fall into silence.

Mark fell silent. This old man, who had experienced countless storms, now wore a look as if he had done something wrong.

“Leanne, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to stand up for you. Don't... don't be angry.”

Claudia didn't say anything. She just picked up the kettle and poured Josie a cup of water.

Her expression remained calm.

Seeing this, Josie felt uncomfortable, especially after remembering Mark's medical report that Claudia showed her. His body couldn't withstand any more turmoil.

“I'm not angry. I just wish sometimes you'd discuss with me when you're handling my affairs?”

Seeing her soften her tone, Mark finally relaxed. “Okay, of course. I'll be more considerate in the future.”

Josie looked up and met Claudia's gentle gaze. The latter smiled at her.

It wasn't surprising that Mark was angry. That morning, his daughter had shown signs of caring for him, but by evening, the fools in the company ruined everything.

It was hard not to be angry.

After dinner, Josie intended to visit Paul, but Claudia insisted she stay, wanting to speak with her alone.

“Laura has helped the Olsen family for years. Your father loves her as he would his own flesh and blood. However, when he heard of your misfortune, he was consumed with rage, and concern for you overshadowed everything else. At the end of the day, you are what matters to him most.”

Josie didn't deny it. “I know.”

“Then you...”

“I'll be mindful of my boundaries.”

Claudia clearly had more to say than just that. She gazed at Josie. “Given your understanding of Laura, do you believe she was involved in this matter?”

Josie furrowed her brows and instinctively said, “I've told you before that she's innocent. She probably doesn't know anything.”
