Chapter 463 Mockery Just as Larry was about to bring the meeting to an end smugly, a voice chimed in and interrupted, âCorrect me if Iâm wrong, but isnât it someone elseâs duty to handle this matter on behalf of Mr. Russell?
Wouldnât it be more appropriate for Mr. Russell to offer some insights?â
A stunned silence fell over the room.
Larry glanced at Summer, frowning slightly.
âI have been given complete authority over the Vaste case by Mr. Russell himself,â he stated confidently. âIf you have any concerns, please get in touch with me directly. Given his recent health issues, itâs best not to burden Mr. Russell with additional stress.â

âHow dare you! The Vaste has endured many trials and tribulations over the years. Weâve seen it all, and we wonât be vanquished.
Their words reverberated with great determination.
Suddenly, Dexter let out a derisive laughter that displayed his disdain.
âWhatâs so funny?â
Summer was at the forefront, but she struggled to speak due to her affiliation with Vanke.
The manâs silhouette remained nonchalant, seemingly not fully grasping the situation. âEven those from a media background are concerned about superficialities during times of crisis. No wonder Vaste has ended up in its current state, Dexter said coldly.
âWhatâs that supposed to mean?!â the crowd roared.
Isnât that the truth?
Their furious outburst stemmed from the uncomfortable truth hitting too close to home. A wave of embarrassment washed over them.
Beneath his detached demeanor, there was a subtle vulnerability.

âSeems like autumn is here sooner than expected.â
The reflection in Dexterâs eyes appeared colder than usual.
Moses, gripping the steering wheel, laughed heartily. âMr. Russell, you are truly impressive. It felt like those Vaste folks were on the verge of jumping off a building just moments ago.â
Those who emerged triumphant in a situation often had a way of presenting their arguments compellingly.
Moses had known Dexter for years and increasingly recognized his formidable prowess.
Larry looked agitated as he peered over Dexter and said, âPlease be careful.â
He handed Dexter his phone and explained, âMadam made several calls earlier. I noticed you were busy, so I didnât answer.â
Dexter took the phone and was rather amused. It was unexpected that she had been reaching out to him more often lately, and it was surprising that she even remembered to give him a call.
