Chapter 339

“Silly girl!” Sean raised his hand and gently patted Josie on the head. “A corporation’s growth can’t rely solely on achievements in one area. I’m not so incompetent that I can’t even protect my family’s company. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. While I’m happy you think that way, it’s not your obligation.”

“Then why in the previous life…” Josie blinked, confused.

“Unless… I didn’t want to protect it anymore.” Sean smiled bitterly.

He said, “You know, Grandpa always thought the reason Elliot never married was because the company took up too much of his time. So, for a while, Grandpa kept urging me to go back to my parents.

“He knew very well that not a single person in the Reedshaw family had given up on Reedshaw medicine. Everyone seemed happy on the surface, but in truth, everyone was thinking about restoring Reedshaw medicine to its peak era.

“He once gave me an order: if by the time I finished grad school, Delilah still hadn’t found a suitable disciple, and Elliot still refused to get married, I was to abandon the Reedshaw Group and leave Aloville.

“For a long time after Grandpa passed, I struggled with this, not knowing what choice to make…”

Sean fixed his intense gaze on Josie. “Fortunately, you appeared.

“Josie, you were like an angel, appearing unexpectedly by my side. Because of you, Delilah has a good disciple.

“And because you saved Mr. Longley, you eased the tensions between the Longley and Reedshaw families, allowing Elliot to soon reunite with his first love. I believe as long as I can uncover the reason for their breakup back then, their reconciliation is only a matter of time.”

“Wait a moment!” Josie was a bit confused. “Are you saying the woman who broke up with Elliot after the Reedshaw incident and went abroad alone… is Mr. Longley’s youngest daughter?”

Given conditions such as having gone abroad, remaining unmarried, being of a similar age to Elliot, etc., it was not difficult to infer the situation.

Josie looked moved.

“You are truly clever!” Sean beamed with delight. “See? Because of you, both things Grandpa worried about have been resolved. That way, I have no reason to abandon the Reedshaw Group anymore.”

So, in his previous life, Sean had voluntarily given up the Reedshaw Group?

Josie looked up at Sean, uncertain what to say.

Sean reached out and took her hand. “I believe that as long as we’re willing to work hard, Reedshaw medicine will return to its former glory sooner or later. Josie, would you be willing to…”

A cheerful voice interrupted Sean, exclaiming, “Josie, it really is you!”

Zoey rushed to Josie’s side and grabbed her arm. “I thought I was mistaken, but it really is you. It’s wonderful to see you here!”

She looked like she’d been stilled.

Josie felt a twinge of guilt. She had promised to find Zoey, but kept getting delayed. Instead, Zoey found her first.

“I came specifically to find you!” Josie took her hand. “Are you okay? Did Aiden do anything to you? What did he do?”

Zoey was a little moved. “Don’t tell me you came all the way here just because you were afraid he’d bully me?”

“Colby was worried about you and asked me to check,” Sean explained, not missing a chance to boost his friend’s image. “I thought bringing Josie along would be better!”

“Yes, yes! With Josie here, I feel much more at ease!” Zoey laughed, pulling Josie towards the food. “You look so beautiful today, like a princess!”

Josie’s face flushed. “You’re very beautiful too. I’ve never been to a party like this before. Sean prepared the clothes for me.”

“He has good taste!” Zoey winked at Josie.
