Chapter 726 A Voice Recording
Larry glanced at the half-burnt cigarette. “Mr. Russell, you haven’t smoked for a long time. Mrs. Russell would not be happy if she found out that you relapsed.”
Dexter stopped smoking because the couple tried to conceive, but bad habits die hard.
“Do not tell Mrs. Russell about it when she comes back,” Dexter shot Larry a look while stubbing the cigarette out.
Larry nodded. “I won’t. After all, men need an outlet. Smoking is nothing.”
“How’s the progress at the construction site?” Dexter asked as he got into the car.
“Things are still uncertain, although the plans are underway. We recently seized three projects from the Carter Group, putting them on high alert.”
Dexter leaned back with his eyes closed as he listened to Larry’s report. “Paul Warren’s whereabouts are still a mystery. Our men are canvassing a greater area to no avail.”
If the Russells could not find Paul, that meant that he most probably was not in Wavery.
“Send a batch of men to Rivodia.”
“Yes, sir!”
As the journey wore on, Larry contemplated whether or not to offer his opinion, and eventually did. “Mr. Russell, isn’t it dangerous to have someone from the Olsen family around you?” Indicating that he was uneasy about Liana Olsen.
It was evident that Mark Olsen planted Liana at the Russells so that he had an eye on what they were planning to do, yet Dexter allowed her to stay.
Many considered him to be playing with fire.
“Is she a threat?” Dexter asked as he opened his eyes when the car came to a stop.
Looking ahead, he saw Heather taking a picture of her simple outfit in the full-length mirror at the entrance to the Russell Group.
Larry followed his gaze and noted that the young woman looked youthful, even innocent.
“She looks harmless, but people usually only reveal their trump card at the end.”
