Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 899

Chapter 899 Henry Is Near Death 

By saying such words, Heather was essentially giving Dexter permission to be with two women at the same time. 

Dexter frowned, for he had never imagined that her obsession with him was so great. 

“Leanne-” 

“I’m tired and would like to rest, Dex. You should go out first.” Heather managed to force a smile even uglier than if she had cried. 

Outside the ward, Claudia waited anxiously. When she saw the man coming out, she hurriedly asked, “How is Leanne?” 

Dexter massaged his temples. “She’s asleep. I should get going now, Ms. Hadey.” 

Claudia seemed to have aged overnight. She nodded and said, “Please don’t take it to heart, Dexter. We’ll make things up to Leanne and give her the love that had been missing these years together, okay?” 

Since Heather attempted suicide, she was truly scared. 

In the face of her plea, Dexter’s brows furrowed deeper. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he -chose to remain silent. 

By the time he left the hospital, Larry had been waiting for a long time. “Morgan picked Ms. Warren up.” he said. 

Dexter closed his eyes in rest, having expected as much. 

She must have been disappointed that I didn’t come home, so it’s probably for the best that she left. In the time to come, there will inevitably be many more things that will disappoint her. 

At the lack of a response, Larry couldn’t help but say, “Perhaps she’ll understand if you explain things 

now.” 

Dexter didn’t reply to that. After he had closed his eyes for a moment, his personal phone rang. The caller ID indicated that it was Marilyn. He exhaled and cleared his throat before answering it. “Ms. Marilyn.” 

The person on the other end rapidly said something, upon which Dexter’s expression changed. A storm was brewing. 

“These are all companies Xanthe is collaborating with Justin rushed over. Thirsty, he downed an entire bottle of water. 

Josie took the list from him and quickly scanned through it. It was detailed, clearly stating which corporation each company belonged to. 

The list didn’t include Russell Group, so it seemed that Dexter has truly cut all ties with his mother. 

She also couldn’t find anything wrong with the rest of the companies. Her brows furrowed. Could it be that I had been investigating in the wrong direction? 

Justin noticed the bandage on her head, “What happened to your head? Did Dexter hit you after the art exhibition?”

The art exhibition, it was his credit in finding out the painting Heather plagiarized. Hence, he naturally knew as well. 

Josie shook her head. “Which corporation owns this Stardust eCommerce?” 

Justin glanced at it and said, “I’m not sure. It’s an independent enterprise.” 

“Help me look into the owner behind the scenes.” Xanthe’s most frequent collaborator was that company. 

Justin agreed, then remarked in concern, “Sis, Dexter has been at the hospital these past two days…. Heather is using a ruse of self-injury.” 

Josie shot him a sidelong glance. “It’ll only work if someone is willing to take the bait. He willingly panders. to her, so there’s nothing I can say.”
