Chapter 348 Had Suspicions Early on
Ivy’s scream reverberated through the air. “No! There’s no turning back for me, Josie! It’s too late!”
With those words, she forcefully yanked Josie off the ground and flung her beside Summer. “Now, let’s see who Dexter chooses!”
Just then, the guard stationed by the door notified Ivy, “Ms. Miller, Mr. Russell has arrived.”
Ivy lifted her head, her eyes brimming with anticipation, “Did he bring anyone with him?”
The guard surveyed the surroundings before responding. “No, he came alone.”
Josie summoned every ounce of strength to move her aching body and strained to look outside. The glaring sunlight made her squint and feel uneasy.
As the iron gate swung open, a man stepped in, bathed in a radiant halo of sunlight. But his presence exuded a dark and solemn aura.
Each of his footsteps bore down on Josie’s heart, making it difficult to catch her breath.
Ivy’s gaze locked onto Dexter, her expression bordering on madness, and she choked back tears, “Mr. Russell… you came.”
Dexter halted his steps at a distance, eyes scanning over Josie before briefly lingering.
“Weren’t you the one who asked me to come?”
He reached out to unbutton his cuff, his eyes filled with menacing intent.
“But did you come for me?” Ivy cautiously inquired, fully aware that it wasn’t the case, yet clinging to a foolish glimmer of hope.
Dexter remained silent, nonchalantly removing his coat and tossing it onto a nearby stack of wood. He then slipped the ring off his finger and stashed it in his pants pocket.
Ivy’s smile faded, and her attention turned to the two women beside her, “So, Mr. Russell, which of them. did you come for?”
Josie recoiled, a tinge of anxiety creeping in. She knew better than to place high expectations on Dexter, as she wouldn’t be the one he chose.
Dexter locked eyes with Ivy with a poker face, “What do you want?”
