Chapter 169 Betrayal 

“I would have controlled the horse!” 

Josie’s tears fell onto the back of Dexter’s hand. It felt hot on his skin and thawed his heart. 

Dexter furrowed his brow and seemed angry. 

Josie was unsure what he was annoyed about, but she guessed it wasn’t only about what happened on the racecourse. Furthermore, he behaved indifferently to her the whole day. disheartening her. 

She turned away and said, “You’re right. I should know my place. I’ve already received your favor, so I shouldn’t expect more. Don’t worry. I won’t join Arnold’s side.” 

Dexter made her face him, demanding, “You were drinking with him. Did you share the same glass?” 

“That’s right.” Josie could not resist goading Dexter. Her heart was filled with grievances against him. 

Dexter sneered indifferently and placed the cigarette between his lips. The glowing cigarette lent a threatening gleam to his gaze, intimidating Josie. He blew puffs of smoke to her face, obscuring her vision. Suddenly, he let her go and tossed the cigarette in the trash can before going to the bar counter. Then, he reached under it and pulled out something before doing the same to the edge of the couch and the bathroom door.

Josie could not help but be afraid of Dexter at this moment. She retreated from him. “What are you doing? This is Arnold’s place.”

Josie shook her head. “I saw Claire at the hospital. She was there with Mr. Yves, the human

If she had known what Phil would do afterward, she would have risked everything and fought him. 

Dexter furrowed his brow. He had no idea about the things Josie said. “Why didn’t you inform me earlier?” 

“How could I tell you? Arnold was beside me, and my phone signal was cut due to outstanding fees. I couldn’t message you,” Josie felt anxious and explained hurriedly. 

Dexter sat down and lit another cigarette. He smoked to calm his fury. 

Josie noticed his fierce expression and pursed her lips. “Did something happen?” 

“He went against me.” 

It took her a while to understand what he meant. “Isn’t he… the manager of the human. resource department?”
