Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 710

Chapter 710 This Meeting Ends Here 

“This is now an official police record. Please take a moment to think carefully about where your father might have gone. In the meantime, we’ll have some officers search the nearby area, Scott tried to reassure Josie. 

However, Josie couldn’t shake off her unease. “Officer Buncho, my father couldn’t have just lost his way like that. He was in the car…” 

Scott’s extensive investigative experience triggered a thought, “Do you know of anyone who might hold a grudge against him?” 

The notion of enemies sent Josie’s thoughts spiraling. 

She couldn’t pinpoint them even if there were indeed any adversaries. Among the people she could recall, none of them seemed to have any direct animosity toward her father. 

Josie pursed her lips, “Let me think again. I’ll let you know if I recall anything.” 

Scott nodded. 

As he was getting ready to enter his car, a colleague patted him on the shoulder and said. “Relax, Buncho. You’re out here on duty for a reason. Why’s still the long face? Don’t worry. They wouldn’t keep you waiting for an eternity.” 

Scott responded with a teasing glance before addressing Josie, “Do you need a lift?” 

Josie’s focus snapped back suddenly, “…No, thank you.” 

Having said that, she briskly walked to her car, pressed the gas pedal, and drove away. 

As Josie sped away, the police officers exchanged hushed murmurs. One asked, “Officer Buncho, are you handling this case, or…?” 

Scott’s usually furrowed brow etched an even deeper line, “I am. Her background is more complex than it 

seems. 

“Oh? Who is she?” Another officer queried. 

Scott disclosed, “She’s Dexter Russell’s wife.” 

His colleagues immediately grasped why Scott had assumed personal responsibility for the case. 

Josie drove straight to Russell Group. Amid the rush hour traffic, her driving was reckless and daring, as if she had no fear of consequences. 

Navigating through the flow of people leaving work, she headed for the VIP elevator and swiped her card, gaining entry. She rode it to the top floor without hesitation. 

Even at this point, Dexter did not return back the call. 

“Mrs. Russell?” 

The employees in the secretary’s office were taken aback by Josie’s hurried arrival. Observing that Josie seemed to disregard them, they hastened to add, “Mr. Russell’s meeting is still ongoing. He’s not in the office right now…”

Josie clenched her fists, her expression taut as she shifted her course and headed directly to the conference 

room. 

“Mrs. Russell, you can’t enter. Mr. Russell is in a board meeting now!” 

The room was filled with all departmental directors of the company, all wielding significant influence. They were engrossed in discussing critical matters concerning the company’s future trajectory. 

Yet, undeterred, Josie stormed into the conference room, causing a stir among the attendees, who all raised their heads in unison. 

Seated at the head of the table, Dexter reviewed his files, his countenance bearing the cold seriousness. befitting a business discussion devoid of his usual warmth. 

He closed the folder.
