Chapter 346 Who Would He Choose?
Fear gripped Josie as she instinctively stepped back, âSo, it was you all along! You conspired with Claire to smear my name!â
âTook you long enough to realize. Tsk. I wonder why Dexter would fall for an idot like you!â
Ivy said while forcefully pushing Josic, causing her to trip and fall to the ground, leaving a bloody mark on her scraped elbow.
Josie felt a burning sensation in her elbow. She bit her lips and glared at Ivy. âWhy did you do this?
Even if Dexter has no feelings for you, you can stay by his side as his personal assistant. Isnât that enough?â
âNo! No! Itâs all because of you! Itâs your fault!â Wielding a hemp rope in her hand, Ivy ruthlessly assaulted Josie.
âIf it werenât for you, Dexter wouldnât have sidelined me! Josie Warren, youâre good at your deceitful and despicable antics!â
Tears welled up in Josieâs eyes as the pain in her wounded elbow intensified. She took a sharp breath, realizing that Dexter had removed Ivy from her role. It now made sense why Ivy had become so unhinged.
âHave you ever thought that your repeated boundary-crossing led him to make that decision? You betrayed his trust, and thatâs why things turned out like this. No one forced you to make those choices!â
Ivyâs fixation and infatuation with Dexter sent chills down Josieâs spine.
Josieâs confrontation stirred up Ivyâs anger. A cruel smirk formed on Ivyâs face as she retorted, âWe were always in sync, like soulmates. No one in this world understood each other better than us. But ever since. you came, everything changedâ¦â
Ivyâs demeanor and words revealed her unraveling state, with her head shaking frantically and her body swaying uncontrollably.
âIt was you! It was you who took away his love for me!â
Ivyâs voice echoed through the room as she relentlessly lashed at Josie with the hemp rope. Beads of sweat rolled down Josieâs face from the intense physical torment.
Ivy turned away, her gaze fixed on the lush trees outside. She sighed and reminisced. âI remember I first. met Dexter; it was spring. He asked if I wanted to be his assistant with a charming smile.â
A tender smile graced Ivyâs lips as she recalled that moment. âI know deep in my heart that we would end up with each other if things had gone as planned. But you⦠Josie Warren! You robbed him away from me!â
Josieâs eyes remained cold and unwavering. âYouâre delusional.â
âNo, youâre the one whoâs delusional!â Ivyâs disheveled hair added to her frenzied appearance as she squatted down, forcefully gripping Josieâs face.
âWhy do you think he asked you for the recording pen? It was to protect me, Josie. Between you and me, he chose me!â
Who Would He Choose?
âStop fooling yourself. He would never like you!â
Undoubtedly, this incident left a deep emotional wound in Josieâs heart. However, deep down, she knew Dexter didnât do that to protect Ivy.
Ivy simply didnât hold enough significance in Dexterâs life.
Josieâs words triggered a wave of anger within Ivy. She forcefully pushed Josie away, a sneer forming on her face. Today, I want to see if you truly matter to him!â
Confusion and worry filled Josieâs mind. What did Ivy mean? Had she told Dexter about their kidnapping?
Josie turned her gaze towards Summer, who was forced to kneel nearby. A sense of dread washed over her, âWhat are you going to do to us? Why involve an innocent person in our grievances?â
âWell, sheâs not just anyone,â Ivy remarked, lifting Summerâs pale face with the tip of her high-heeled shoe.
âLetâs see if Dexter will choose you over her. Or vice versa.â
Josieâs thoughts raced in chaos. Ivy had gone insane, resorting to extreme measures!
âBut sheâs the only daughter of the Olsen family. You ought to pay with your life if anything happens to her!â
âDo you think I still bother about my life at this point?â Ivy retorted, her voice filled with determination.
Desperate, Josie ignored the pain in her body and shouted, âWake up! Wake up, Summer!â
But Summer remained motionless. Ivy gloated, saying, âDonât bother. I drugged her. She wonât wake up anytime soon.â
âIvy! No!â
