Chapter 558 Tell Him Everything
Quitting smoking had been a challenging journey, but in her presence, the cravings diminished. She became the replacement for his addiction.
Josie remained in a squatting position, her voice filled with anguish. “Dexter, you always do this. Why do you always believe you’re right? Is my opinion less important? Throughout, I’ve felt like nothing more than an accessory to you.”
Dexter’s gaze softened as he looked at her.
He listened attentively, patiently considering her words. “Like I mentioned earlier, within six months, can rise to the top of this industry. I won’t allow others to perceive you merely as an accessory to me. Isn’t that a good thing?”

“No, it’s not!” Josie’s voice echoed, her hair dancing in the wind. “It’s not fulfilling to achieve success without putting in my effort and relying on you to pave the way for me.”
Dexter chuckled, “You do have quite the pride.”
“As a businessman, you prioritize profit and seizing opportunities without considering the emotions of others. I can’t be as ruthless as you,” Josie explained, her voice tinged with frustration.
Dexter’s eyes narrowed, and he leaned closer, gently pinching Josie’s chin. “Do you know, I used to be just like you? But ever since I embarked on this path, all senses of ethical principles went up in smoke.”
Josie found herself locked in a gaze with his intense, pitch-black eyes.
“Don’t lecture me about emotions. Besides you, I have no feelings for anyone. I haven’t made a move on Arnold yet because of you. It’s best not to provoke me. Jo,” he warned, his voice carrying a hint of danger.
His words struck a nerve within Josie, and she realized he wasn’t joking.
A throbbing headache overwhelmed Josie, and she couldn’t help but regret getting entangled with this man. His words carried an overpowering weight, and every interaction with him felt overwhelming. Feeling the blood rushing to her head and dizziness overtaking her, Josie struggled to maintain her balance. She took a few unsteady steps before being caught by Dexter’s firm grasp. His cold smile sent shivers down her spine as he spoke in a threatening tone, “Take two days to think it over. But remember, your decision will directly determine the future of the Carters.”
Mouth agape, with her eyebrows pinched together, she yelled indignantly, “You’re threatening me!”
