Chapter 504 Hiding the Truth
Calvin’s gaze turned conflicted. He turned around after hearing Mallory and pulled out his phone to make a call.
No one answered.
“He doesn’t answer?”
“Mallory, Dexter is dealing with an urgent matter. We mustn’t disturb him.”
“Is Elisa’s situation not urgent?” Mallory looked at him in disbelief.
Calvin pondered and seemed conflicted. However, he chose to hide the truth. “You said that her surgery was a success. That means she will be fine. We can afford to wait a little.”
“Calvin!” Mallory glared at him. “How could you say this? Don’t you know she nearly died?”
“I know!” Calvin gripped her arm and continued urgently, “But I also know Dexter’s matter involves the livelihood of tens of thousands of employees.”
Mallory sneered angrily upon hearing him. She struggled to break free of his grip. “Are you saying you won’t tell Dexter?”
Calvin looked away before replying, “He cares too much about Josie. It will mess up his focus if he fin out about it. We need to wait until the crisis is resolved
“What about you? Do you also think the same?” Mallory turned to the subordinate dejectedly.
“I… Ms. Whiteford, what Mr. Barrett said is not unreasonable…” The subordinate hesitated before gritting his teeth and continued, “I will go to the hospital now and arrange for the best treatment for Mrs. Russell.”
“That won’t be necessary!” Mallory got up angrily to leave. She suddenly recalled something and paused, standing with her back facing Calvin. “If I get into an accident, will you do the same to me?”
“There’s no need to make such an assumption.
Mallory left without another word.
“You’re not chasing her?”
