Claudia gazed at Josie for a long time unmovingly.

Silence remained in the car for a long time. Outside, Larry and Caleb exchanged glances, both harboring an uneasy premonition. In a low voice, Scott suggested, "Should we go in and check?"

At that moment, Claudia had regained her composure. She spoke softly, "Josie, if you wish to keep your current surname, don't push me."

In the end, she's still threatening me. Josie clenched her fists, her eyes bloodshot. "Are you really pushing me to this extent? I'm not the only descendant of the Olsen family. There's also Nathan and Summer!"

Claudia's expression shifted immediately. Her voice softened, yet held a firm conviction. "You know none of them carry the bloodline of the Olsen family. However, you, without a doubt, and your child, must carry the Olsen surname."

Josie frowned, a sense of suffocating threat hanging heavily over her.

Claudia cast her a profound gaze before rising to leave. Just before she stepped out of the car, she left with a final remark, "I didn't want my first meeting with this child to leave such a poor impression. You should have informed us earlier."

The car door closed, leaving behind a blanket of silence.
