Chapter 374 Thwarting Dexterâs Schemes Exercise caution when interacting with him.
While Eileen remained oblivious to their relationship, her intuition nudged that Arnold had a genuine affinity for this woman.
Josieâs silence encapsulated the weight of desperation, a silent plea amid her risky gamble.
âI⦠I wonât allow Dexter to have it his way.â
She wouldnât hold back after he had mercilessly crushed her dignity.
The volatile economic state in the current market and the financial constraints from the Carter Group had left Josie in a predicament. Yet, she refused to let Dexter claim victory and turn her into a mockery.
Arnold offered another suggestion, âYou know your husband better than anyone. Since he started targeting Carter Group, the Russell Group has been in disarray. You could advise Wyatt to sell the company at a good price and venture into a new industry with the funds. Who knows, it might lead to a better outcome.â
Josie immediately refuted the suggestion and asserted, âNo way. This is Wyattâs first venture, and he will never agree to bankruptcy or selling it.â
She was determined to face any situation with Wyatt.
Arnoldâs brow slightly furrowed as he asked, âAre you doing this for Wyatt, or is it about your personal vendetta against Dexter?â
Josie clenched her fist, her eyes darting elsewhere.
Eileen was peeling a mango with a firm grip on the knife when Arnold abruptly snatched the knife and the large mango from her.

âYour house?â
Arnold blurted out his address and said, âEileen is feeling a bit under the weather, so Iâm staying home with her.
Josie nodded and replied. âYes, it is getting colder.â
There was a momentary pause in the conference room as Dexter sneezed.
After the project team dispersed, Ivy entered the room with a stack of photos and began, âSirâ¦â
Dexter casually closed his laptop, stretching his long fingers, and a photo fell from his grasp. Ivy peered at the barren autumn through the windows, shivering in the cold.
