Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 830

Chapter 830 He Did It 

Suddenly, a figure blocked Josie’s prying gaze. It was Zach. “Ms. Warren, you’ve dropped Laura off. You can leave now,” he said coldly, his voice filled with disdain for her. 

Josie remained unfazed. “Laura hasn’t asked me to leave yet. Why are you being so presumptuous?” 

Her underlying message carried a hint of mockery. Laura held considerable influence now, and Zach no longer dared to mistreat her as he once did. In fact, he seemed somewhat apprehensive of her. 

“You!” 

“Zach.” Dexter’s voice interrupted the tension. He lightly tapped Heather and said, “You siblings should have a chat.” 

After saying that, he stepped forward, his intention quite clear. 

Zach was indeed wary of him. After struggling for a while, he still took a step back, turning around with a face full of disgust. 

Heather frowned with worry. “Dex…” 

Nevertheless, the man remained calm and composed. He gestured for her to remain quiet and closed the door behind him, shutting out the prying eyes from the room. In the hallway, only Dexter and Josie remained. 

Dexter’s calm gaze felt more intense than the effects of alcohol and smoke in the air. 

Josie craned her head to meet his eyes. “You did this, didn’t you?” 

Dexter stayed silent, but he took her wrist and led her upstairs. It was only when they reached the rooftop that he released her wrist and spoke. “Summer’s actions were her own doing; I couldn’t control her.” 

In the past few minutes, Josie had pieced together the situation. She rotated her bruised wrist and remarked, “You were aware that Summer was involved in the photo incident. After returning to Wavery, a series of scandals involving her surfaced, enraging Mark and leading to this situation. How is this not revenge?” 

Her words were filled with seriousness, and the sunlight cast an amber hue in her eyes. 

Dexter listened attentively before breaking into laughter. “What’s the point of seeking revenge? We’re already divorced.” 

The word “divorce” stiffened Josie. Indeed, they were divorced. 

She shifted slightly and said, “Who said it had to be for my sake? Summer has severely harmed the Russell Group, and by extension, your reputation has suffered. Seeking revenge for yourself would be entirely reasonable.” 

Dexter tilted her chin up, his other hand lightly resting on her shoulder as he leaned in. “Even if that were true, I wouldn’t have expected Summer to stoop this low.” 

Indeed, that part didn’t make sense, but in a flash, Josie remembered the doctor mentioning Summer’s claustrophobia. She furrowed her brows. “Did you do something to her?” 

As Josie watched, Dexter’s lips curled into a smile, a smile that was almost chilling.

“You’ve become smarter, Jo.” 

“You!” Josie was incredulous, and her pupils were slightly dilated. 

It’s Summer we’re talking about. The means to make her claustrophobic must be beyond imagination. And this man in front of me, he always has countless ways to torment people.
