The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 717

Chapter 717 Life and Death

It was Leanne!

Why was she given permission to be here, standing with Dexter in such a sensitive situation??

In her astonishment, Josie endured Dexter’s scrutiny.

“I believe I handled it well, wouldn’t you say, Mrs. Russell?”

Arnold chuckled, his query directed beside him.

Josie shot him a furious look, her expression shifting to one of seriousness and embarrassment.

Leanne caught Josie’s gaze and instinctively lowered her head, addressing Dexter, “Mr. Russell, should I excuse myself for now?”

Leanne’s approach to Dexter was strictly professional, conveying a forthcoming demeanor that implied any inappropriate interactions.

This transparency was at least public.

Unexpectedly, Dexter raised his hand, signaling her to stay, “Stay right here.”

Leanne was puzzled, briefly glancing at Josie.

Josie pressed her lips together, withholding any response.

Dexter’s expression grew stern. “Arnold, your underling had zero manners, crossed the line, and provoked my family. Seems only right I give him a taste of discipline.”

No respect whatsoever in that sardonic gaze.

“Of course, you were right. He had it coming.

Arnold strode up to Scar and quickly glanced at him, saying, “But I’m curious, who did he tick off that got you so riled up?”

“With the hefty cost of Wyatt being in the ICU, you’re definitely not holding back,” Dexter spoke candidly and named the person directly.

Arnold’s understanding seemed hazy at first, but then it clicked suddenly.

“Ah, Wyatt… but you can’t just put the blame solely on Scar. Wyatt came to my turf uninvited, created a scene, and criticized you in and out, Dex. Naturally, I couldn’t let it slide, so I allowed Scar to put him in his place. Whe

would’ve thought it’d escalate to a cerebral hemorrhage out of the blue?”

In simpler terms, Arnold meant that Scar causing Wyatt’s hospitalization wasn’t premeditated. It was an unfortunate accident.

Dexter’s knowing smirk held an air of intrigue. “And why did you keep me out of the loop on this?”

It appeared he received the news almost simultaneously with Josie. Now, the second lead to Paul had gone cold.
