Chapter 501 High Fever
Josie slammed into something sharp. She saw blood before her eyes and felt a throbbing pain in her head. She felt like she was about to collapse and panicked. No! I can’t get hurt now. I have important things to settle.
However, she soon blacked out.
“Josie!”
Meanwhile, Dexter’s subordinate received urgent news at a financial institution.
“This is the latest news. Carter Group increased the amount of capital.” The subordinate stood before the computer and appeared anxious as he walked to Dexter. “Based on our past estimate, Carter Group would never be able to fork out such a high sum unless he had secret support. Mr. Russell…”
Dexter stood before the floor–to–ceiling window and looked at the skyscrapers in the distance. He already had a plan in mind.
Calvin nafrowed his eyes. “Could it be the Olsen family”
Larry added, “It will be difficult to top that amount even if we were to gather all our available funds. Moreover, with the ongoing credibility issue, no banks will be willing to loan us money. It’s a dead end…”
All their funds came from the company or Dexter’s private fund. Even if they were to offer all they had, it would still be in vain.
“Dex, you must decide carefully from this point on.” Calvin was discouraged after the pressure and stress of the past few days.
“Give me the phone,” Dexter said suddenly. His expression was tense.
Larry immediately handed it to him. He unlocked the screen and was surprised that Elisa had not called yet. Perhaps she did not want to disturb him.
He scrolled down the call log quickly and called a number. Everyone waited with bated breath.
The call got through, and a gruff male voice sounded, “Dexter, it’s late. What’s the matter?”
Dexter’s expression was grim, but his voice sounded amicable. “Mr. Olsen, if I’m not mistaken, we agreed to cooperate. Why did you suddenly backstab me?”
His friendly tone carried an unmistakable hint of threat. Even Mark could not help but shudder as he listened.
“Dexter, I don’t understand what you mean.”
Dexter replied immediately, “Mr. Olsen, you’ve got to be kidding me.”
