CHAPTER 849 LEARNING TO PAINT THROUGH THE NIGHT
Josie lowered her gaze and opened the envelope. Inside was a stack of photographs.
In the photos, Heather was dressed modestly. She met with the teacher. Under his guidance, she began to learn painting.
Josie could not help but let out a cold laugh. Her actions at the Olsen Residence that day had caught leather’s attention. She was imitating everything about her, even the fact that she was painting, which had been overlooked.
Heather desperately wanted to win the trust of the Olsen family.
“All we know for now is that she has booked this teacher for a month without anyone’s knowledge.”
Upon hearing that, Josie stuffed the photos back into its original place. “So how did you find out?”
Justin suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, and he scratched his head. “Well, I found a job suited to my skills.”
Josie curved her lips into a smile. “In this year or so at Heaven on Earth, you’ve learned quite a few things.”
It was hard to believe that Justin was once a troublemaker and caused his family endless worry. Now, he erned to have lost that rebellious streak. It appeared that Calvin and Mallory had done a good job in guiding him.
“I’ve changed for the better,” Justin said, feeling a bit nervous under her intense gaze. “Sis, I know I was a mess before, but I’ve genuinely improved now. I have the ability to take good care of our father, and…. you.”
It was indeed rare to hear those words from him. Josie felt a warmth in her heart, but then, as if remembering something, she sighed.
“i know, and I’m happy for you.”
The waiter brought the coffee over. Josie stirred the latte art with a spoon and said casually, “I’ll still need your help in the future. Just keep an eye on Heather.”
“May I ask why?” Justin looked at Josie. It had been a long time since they last met, and he noticed that the innocence once present on Josie’s face was gone. Instead, it was replaced with a mix of worry and determination.
Josie lifted her gaze, but she did not intend to reveal the truth just yet. With a flicker in her eyes, she sail, “She and I are love rivals. Didn’t you know?”
justin was taken aback. “So what’s written on the gossip olumns is actually tr….
Josie nodded in agreement. “Indeed.”
“So, you… you’re really sull hung up on Dexter?”
The news of her divorce was the talk of the town in Wavery, but Justin did not pry. She had always been decisive. However, the previous photo scandal had hirm constantly worried. When he heard people gossiping about it, he even beat someore up
Back then, he had yelled. “She’s not that kind of person!”
Josie rolled her eyes. “I suppose so.”
Justin was somewhat conflicted. “Actually… it’s true that Dexter is quite a good man, but you can find someone even better. You don’t need to take this risk.”
It was a clumsy attempt to console her. Josie laughed. She was amused by his innocence.
“Anyway, keep an eye out for me. Let me know if there’s any movement. When I’m free, we’ll talk.” justin did not understand and asked, “How has Dad been doing lately?” Content rights belong to .
He had been busy too, and it had been a long time since he last saw Paul.
His question made Jesie’s spine stiffen. The matter of Paul’s disappearance was known only to a select few…
“He’s fine, just as before,” Josie chose her words carefully. Justin was young and impetuous. As such, it was not suitable for him to know the truth.
“Oh, so he’s living with you now? I should find some time to visit him. It’s been a while since we last met. Has he been complaining about me to you?” Justin casually remarked before taking a sip of his coffee and grimacing at its bitterness.
“timm… You do have a good sense of self-awareness.” Josie subconsciously tightened her grip on the corner of her clothes and feigned calmness. “Let’s wait and see. I’ll have someone keep an eye on Heather, and she’ll have someone watching me too. It won’t look good if she sees us together.”
Her calm voice was very persuasive. For a moment, Justin did not realize something was amiss. He did not ask why it would be a problem for them to meet.
