Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509 We Are Family 

Mallory turned around and left to get onto another flight to return to the United Kingdom 

Laura pushed the wheelchair and rushed to the car park. At the same time, she said, “What happened to you? Why didn’t you contact me at all? How did you get into an accident? Why didn’t you tell me about your ectopic pregnancy?” 

“I’ll tell you about it later, but first, send me to Russell Group.” 

Laura paused briefly but decided to do as Josie instructed. 

After they were seated in the car, Laura gave her a summary of the situation in Wavery and added, “Actually, you don’t have to worry. Dexter’s family has deep reserves. They will have no problem persisting for half a month. It won’t be easy for Arnold to destroy such a large corporation.” 

Then, she hesitated briefly and glanced into the rearview mirror before continuing. “Did you see the news about Dexter and Summer?” 

Josie curved her pale lips into a smile. “Yes. It was a setup,”” 

Laura instantly breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m glad that you understand. I was so anxious about the rumors flying around and your condition.” 

Josie had informed Henry that they would be visiting. They headed straight to De arriving at Russell Group. Henry sat behind Dexter’s desk and wore a pair of read the documents. He seemed tired and overworked. 

“Grandpa.” 

Upon hearing Josie’s voice, Henry looked up and was shocked to see her weak and brok immediately and approached her. “What… What happened…” 

He looked at her and felt heartbroken about her condition. However, he did not dare to ask too questions or stare at her. He seemed nervous and unsure about what he should do. 

Need 

Josie pretended not to notice and said half-jokingly, I’m okay. It’s only a minor injury, and I will recove soon. Laura made a big fuss over a small matter and insisted I use a wheelchair.“ 

Henry observed her for some time. It broke his heart to see her injured. “How am I to answer your father with you like this…” 

Josie held Henry’s hand to comfort him. 

“The construction side is mostly resolved for now. However, our finances are tight, Henry explained after hearing Josie’s reason for visiting. He sighed and continued, “Russell Group and its branches have tens of thousands of employees. Their salaries amounted to billions each month. Furthermore, the company has all kinds of projects requiring capital. Our risk of bankruptcy gets higher the longer Dex drags this matter.” 

Josie understood his words. “In short, we are running out of money.” 

Henry sighed, reminding her, “I told you this only because you wish to know. However, you must not overexert yourself. Carter Group and Russell Group are in the midst of a pricing war. Don’t get involved.” 

“But I’m Dexter’s wife. Grandpa, we are family. Family members should share burdens.” Josie had a plan in mind. “Don’t worry. I will do what I can and won’t overexert myself.” 

Henry was relieved to hear that.
