That Day When I Got Married to My Boss at the Blind Date

Chapter 987

Josie was equally surprised. When did he find out…

Upon hearing those words, Johnny gradually let down his guard. He swallowed hard, realizing he shouldn’t defy this man. He stepped forward, cutting Josie’s ropes, and then stood guard at the door. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, Josie was free from her shackles. Her arms trembled, and for a long while, she was unable to move. She had lost all sensation, unable to feel even pain.

“Instead of attending your daughter’s wedding today, you came to mock me. What is your purpose?”

Mark stared at her pained expression, then his gaze fell on the live broadcast playing on the screen in front of her.

“You’re a smart person. I’ve felt that way since the moment I first saw you.”

Josie couldn’t quite articulate the feeling in her heart. Despite the man standing before her being her biological father, she felt an immense distance between them.

“I thought you were as kind and loving as a father at first. Even though you saw me as a substitute, you took care of me in every possible way. I once thought you were a smart person as well.”

She reflected on when they first met. The impression Mark had given her was as gentle as a spring breeze. Everyone said he was cunning, yet toward her, he had always shown an extra bit of tolerance.

Even when Summer made mistakes, he did not hesitate to criticize, yet he was also forgiving.

“But you’ve done so many things that disappointed me later on!”

“I disappointed you?” Josie didn’t quite understand and chuckled. “For instance?”

“You seduced Arnold and betrayed Dexter, didn’t you?”

“Well, about that… I actually believe you started to have prejudices against me only after you found your biological daughter. I did nothing wrong from the beginning.”

With a cold expression, Mark asked, “Since you’re so smart, do you know why I came today?”

“I’m not curious about it.”

Perhaps it would be more heartbreaking to know.

“My daughter has been wandering for over a decade before she returned to my side. Today is her big day, and under no circumstances will I allow you to ruin it.”

He preferred to stay, to watch over her.

Josie understood most of it now. So, it’s true that he’s here to watch me, not to save me…

“Even if you knew that Heather was the one who kidnapped me…” Josie’s voice was icy cold.

Mark recalled the previous night. He had inadvertently seen Heather carrying something and heading straight for the mountain. Struck by curiosity, he couldn’t resist following her. He watched as she crossed the tea plantation and arrived at this abandoned factory.

And there, Josie, was astonishingly bound inside.

Mark was not unaffected, but he chose not to expose Heather.

“Yes,” he said.

Josie’s heart sank a little further.

“She never had any good days, and you’ve been constantly ruining her life. She’s so scared that she locked you up here,” Mark said quickly. “I can understand, and I will also cover up for her!”

Josie laughed upon hearing this. Scared?

“She isn’t scared, Mr. Olsen. She’s out to kill me.”

She glanced at Johnny at the door. “Even if she killed me, you would cover up for her, wouldn’t you?”

With a look of anger on his face, Mark declared, “She wouldn’t!”

“But what if!”

Mark hesitated, and it was this brief hesitation that made Josie’s heart grow colder and colder.

She realized that in this world, there was truly no one standing by her side.

“You would cover up for her and hide the evidence. You could easily discard me somewhere no one would ever find. You wouldn’t let her be discovered. Under your protection, she would forever remain the pristine Ms. Olsen.”

She accurately voiced Mark’s thoughts.
