Chapter 365 In Trouble âAre you on your way to the Russell Group?â Arnold asked indifferently.
âIf I had known, I wouldnât have dragged you into this mess,â Arnold continued. Josie slowly lifted her head, her temples still pounding. She used a napkin to wipe her mouth, then took out her lipstick and applied it. As she did, her face slowly began to brighten.
She shouldnât have crossed the line with Dexter.
âHowâs the situation?â she asked.
Arnold frowned as he scanned the stock market report. This doesnât look good,â he observed. The problem is more complicated than we thought. Itâs not just the Carter Group thatâs being targeted Small and medium-sized businesses all over Wavery are being affected. The whole market is in trouble.â
Josie could never have imagined that Dexter would go to such lengths to get back at her. âWhat about the Carter Group?â she asked, her voice trembling.
âWeâre taking emergency measures to address the stock market problem, but Dexterâs decision also affects his subsidiary companies, including the team led by Wyatt,â Arnold said urgently.
Josie felt her head pounding. He must be out of his mind. âTell me what I have to do, she demanded, âDexter must be stopped. This stock market cannot continue to crash. Iâll send you a file with the affected businesses later.â
The phone call ended. Josie knew she couldnât drive to the office, so she immediately called Moses, âWhere are you?â
He was stunned to hear her voice. She hadnât been to the office lately, so he was on a break at home.
âIâm surprised to hear from you. I thought youâd already fired me.
âStop the nonsense. Come to Mason Garden and pick me up.
After packing her things. Josie opened the file on her phone. She saw that Wyattâs team was on the list of companies affected by the stock market. Dexter had announced their independence from the corporation, but seeing them go through such trouble was a pity Moses arrived shortly after. Josie got into the car but didnât answer when he asked where they were going The car idled outside the gates of Mason Garden, Josie finally made the call to Wyatt. After a long ring, he picked up. âJosie?â
His voice was weak and weary. He sounded exhausted.
âHow are you doing?â
âThe company was about to be listed, but now the stock market is in chaos. A foreign company has offered to buy us out at a high price Josieâs eyebrows furrowed at the news. âYour opponent is the Russell Group âWhat does that have to do with me?â Wyatt asked, his voice sharp.
There was a long pause before he continued, Josie, Iâm starting to think this is all a scheme.â
Josie felt a pang of guilt at Wyattâs words. She closed her eyes and asked, âWhere are you? Iâll go over to you.â
She shouldnât have angered him. She was finally starting to understand how important her position as Mrs. Russell was.
Wyatt told her his location, and she instructed Moses to take her there immediately, The e-commerce business attracted mostly young and passionate individuals. Everyone at Wyattâs office was whispering and discussing, clearly having encountered a problem..
Josie walked inside the office, guided by Wyattâs assistant. âWyatt,â she called as she entered his office.
As soon as the door opened, her heart sank. She saw two people inside, one of whom she recognized as the woman who had been seen with her husband in the past month.
Summer was dressed professionally and had a file in her hands. When she saw Josie enter the room, her eyebrows raised, and her lips curled into a wide smile.
The room fell silent.
