Chapter 550 Leave as Soon as Possible
Josie stood by the entrance, pouring a cup of water for the police officers.
The police officers didn’t hold anything against her after she explained what happened. “Your husband looked furious. He must bully you often, they commented.
However, she kept it to herself and explained, “It’s my fault. I came out without telling him.”
“Is he that strict with you?”
“That’s how he’s always been.”
“Seeing how you and your husband act around each other, I’m sure your relationship won’t last. Listen to my advice and get away from him as soon as possible.
Josie chuckled softly, “Thanks, buddy.”
Despite her wishes, Dexter wouldn’t let her go.
The police officers had already left when Dexter exited the station. Andy went outside to make a call. Dexter leaned against the wall, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He lit it up but didn’t take a puff. “They look quite young. I’m sure they’re just at the beginning of their careers. Shall I turn their world. upside down?”
The smoke he breathed out wafted between them.
“All I need is for you to come with me. It’s a simple and straightforward request. However, if you’re unwilling to do so, I guess I’ll have no choice but to make them pay. Their lives would be ruined because of your little rebellion. Would you be able to sleep soundly knowing what you’ve done to them?”
“You know me better than anyone.”
“Josie, you’re playing with fire. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Dexter’s voice was assertive. As he spoke, Josie’s knuckles turned white from the pressure of her grip. Dexter was a master manipulator, and he knew exactly how to push Josie’s buttons.
Josie’s eyes were like two chips of blue ice, cold and unyielding. “I have a condition.”
Dexter’s eyebrow shot up in amusement.
“You have to inform me about Laura’s situation.”
Dexter’s lips expanded into a wide grin. “Sure.”
When they left the station, the police officers who had arrested them were still there, shining a flashlight. into the car. Dexter’s eyes narrowed to slits as he growled, “What do you want? Are you thinking of hitting me again?”
