Chapter 134 The Person He Groomed Josie was terrified. She thought that the city officials were untouchable. Still, she never imagined that Dexter could make a move against someone so influential.
âSo you didnât actually go to give him a present, but toâ¦â Make things difficult for Leo. âLeo likes you.
He would hate you if he found out.â
Dexter got into the car, and Ivy followed. He looked down and casually picked up a coat placed at the side. He threw it on her legs. Ivy was pleasantly surprised.
âI can only guarantee that if something happens, he wonât have a hard time in the future.â Dexter held his cell phone in his other hand. âWhy arenât you sleeping?â
After talking to him, Josie suddenly felt that what was happening tomorrow wasnât a big deal, and she naturally felt less nervous. âIâm going to sleep now. Um, Dexterâ¦â
The man waited, and he heard her say, âBe careful.â
After that, she hung up at once. Dexter heard the dial tone in the phone, and a subtle smile appeared in the corners of his mouth.
Ivy noticed his smile and unconsciously guessed who was on the other end. Was it Josie?
âWhere is she?â
âMrs. Ardon has been waiting for a long time,â Ivy answered quickly.
âTell her to come in.â
The car door opened, and a woman with exquisite makeup entered. When she saw the coat covering Ivyâs legs, she smiled at the man with his eyes shut. âYou treat your assistant well, Mr. Russell.â
Ivy gripped the coat tightly and said coldly, âGet on with it.â
The woman spoke wearily. It was a bit of an occupational hazard. âWith the current situation, Iâm unsure if I can keep it to myself. If you can protect me, Mr. Russell, I will serve you. faithfully.â
Dexter had yet to open his eyes. He smelled the scent of perfume on her and furrowed his brows slightly.
Ivy spoke nastily. âWeâve groomed you for so long. Are you trying to take us for granted?â
âWatch your words, Ms. Miller.â
The Person He Groomed Ivy was dumbfounded.
âWhy should I protect you?â
The manâs voice was icy. It was as bone-chilling as snow in winter.
Mrs. Ardon stared at his ethereal face, and her hand slithered up his leg. âWestin Ardon abused his public position to attain personal gain. I have a list of people who conspired with him, including Martin. I donât know if this stepping stone will move you, Mr. Russell.â
Ivy glared at Mrs. Ardonâs hand.
Dexter still hadnât opened his eyes. His leg twitched, and he shook her hand off. âWhereâs the name list?â
Mrs. Ardonâs hand shivered. She had experienced a lot, but she couldnât conquer this man. âHow can I simply bring such a thing with me? This is part of a video. Would you like to take a look. Mr. Russell?â
He still didnât move. Ivy intuitively took it and glanced at it. She said, âItâs real, Mr. Russell.â
Dexter slowly opened his eyes and finally looked at Mrs. Ardon. She had deliberately dressed up today and was in a tight dress that exposed her bosom. He glanced at her and looked.
away.
âWhat do you want?â
âTwenty million. And my freedom.â
âIâll give you an additional ten million. Report it under your name. After that, I will guarantee your safety,â Dexter said indifferently yet solemnly.
Mrs. Ardon was moved by the figure. âHow will I know if you will really protect me?â
Ivy said, âThink about it. If we donât protect you, what if you turn on Russell Group?â
Mrs. Ardon came to her senses when she heard it. âBut⦠Westin is already on alert recently. He doesnât even let me enter his study room.â
