Chapter 272 Gangster Before she finished her words, Josie reached out and grabbed the knife. Moses was momentarily stunned, and at that moment, she swiftly snatched the knife and threw it to the ground.
Without a scratch on her, Josie remained indifferent, as if she were merely an outsider. âIs this knife brand new? It doesnât seem sharp at all. Canât even cut a lemon with it.â
With the resounding thud of the knife hitting the ground, Moses was flooded with a whirlpool of emotions. Those who were expecting a frightening hostage-holding scene were left dumbfounded.
Little did they expect it was just a bluff from a cowardly troublemaker.
Bryce immediately put away his phone.
Moses straightened his posture, maintaining his tough appearance. âI donât care. No one leaves if you donât give me a way out today.â
Josie leaned against the side. âWhat can you do?â
âI canât do anything,â the man responded self-righteously.
âThen what do you want to do?â
âWell,â Moses stepped back and casually sat on someoneâs desk. His long legs swung freely as if he were on a beach vacation. He reached out his hand and continued with a serious tone. âlet me work here; any position will do. Iâm only asking for thirty thousand a month. Not too demanding, right?â
Josie did not respond to his ridiculous demands.
Alice couldnât help but say, âYou might as well go rob the bank!â
Bryce chimed in, âHow is this any different from robbery?â
Josie smiled nonchalantly, âItâs not impossible, but let your father come and talk to me.â
If she agreed to this request, the stubborn tenants wouldnât have the audacity to refuse their offer anymore.
She returned to the conference room and instructed Alice, âFind the security guards and throw him out.â
âYou!â
Several security guards escorted the young man out, leaving him utterly embarrassed.
Moses stood alone outside the Russell Group building and looked at the towering structure. His tongue pressed against the inside of his cheek, and his eyes narrowed into slits. Well done, Josie, he thought.
Eventually, Dexter came to learn about the incident as well.
At the top floor of the Russell Group building, a secretary poured a cup of hot water for Josie. Dexter leaned against the side, flipping through documents, and asked, âSo, Moses Chakov?â
Josie remained composed. âHow did you find out about this?â
The man didnât answer-an indecipherable emotion was hidden deep in his eyes.
A few days later, Josie received a response from the stubborn tenants. They were finally willing to let go of the plot, but on the condition that she would help their son find a job. Of course, it wouldnât be as extravagant as Mosesâ demands. As long as he could make a living, it would suffice.
At that time, Dexter had just received all the information about Moses. Moses had attended MIT but went astray afterward, leading an unruly life with few good deeds. The list of misdeeds filled two pages.
On that evening. Dexter appeared near the house where Moses currently resided.
With his own eyes, he witnessed a disheveled young man stumbling out of his house, looking lifeless.
He paused for a moment upon seeing the luxury car, and then, in silence, he picked up a large stone from the ground and raised his hand, ready to smash the car.
Fortunately, the driverâs quick reflexes stopped him. âWhat are you doing?â
Moses glanced at him and let out a yawn, appearing as if he had lost interest, and dropped the stone.
He confidently stated, âWhat am I doing? This is my house. You parked your car here, blocking my way.
Do you think thatâs appropriate?â
Dexter observed his actions quietly and then rolled down the car window.
Their eyes met.â
Moses raised an eyebrow and challenged, âWho are you?â
Dexter remained calm and surveyed the surrounding environment before asking, âAre you content with your life?â
Moses remained silent, his long-dead determination slightly stirred by the manâs words.
