Chapter 106 Practice
Inside the vast office, the sun shone brightly through the large windows, slightly heating up the floor.
Ivy sat at the coffee table and poured a cup of tea. “Mr. Russell, Landon isn’t making any moves. I believe Martin Lane wouldn’t act recklessly as he is afraid of
you.”
“The situation is different now that Arnold Carter is back.”
Dexter held a cigarette between his fingers. He slightly sniffed the cigarette and showed no hint of concern or fear.
Ivy froze as she was pouring the tea. “Arnold Carter came back yesterday. Have you seen him?”
“Yes, in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.”
Ivy looked down and felt a surge of uneasiness creeping up her whole body. Dexter hasn’t invited her to accompany him to any events recently. Moreover, she had no idea that he had gone to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel yesterday or with whom he was spending his time.
She poured a cup of Earl Grey tea and passed it to Dexter. His forehead creased upon tasting it. It wasn’t as good as the one he had last night.
Ivy noticed his expression and immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”
Dexter didn’t answer her question. Instead, he put down the cup and interjected with his own question. “How did Arnold settle the project in Rivodia?”
“He used cash to shut them up. Nothing can’t be solved in this era with a load of money.”

“Everything’s in order. It’ll be in Russell Group’s hands after the bidding process.”
Ivy answered his questions diligently. Her gaze rested on the cup of tea he had only taken a sip of
Dexter nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
Ivy observed his expression before speaking again. “Mr. Russell, the cost to acquire Silmark is quite high. If Landon participates in the bidding, Russell Group’s capital will be strained.”
Ivy couldn’t wrap her head around what he meant. Why would he take over Silmark for practice? It’s a large property with schools surrounding it.
