â Chapter 60 Josie was anxio 60us because she had been careless. The direct messages on Twitter were permanent. They could be seen even if the IP address was changed!
Dexter closed his laptop and said coolly, âWhy are you worrying?â
âHow can I not! He traced it back to me! Heâll find Nicole sooner or later. Oh, thatâs right. Nicoleâs parents⦠I havenât reported it to the police. Iâll do it now!â
Josie was too anxious. She wanted to report it to the police, but her cell phone fell on the ground.
Dexter grabbed her trembling hands and slowly said, âCalm down! Iâve sent people to look after Nicoleâs parents. If Justin does anything, I will know at once. Iâve also gotten people to pressure the casino. You donât have to report to the police for the time being.â
Josie was startled. She never thought that he had made a move.
âWhat about me? If Justin canât find Nicole and keeps coming to dead ends, he will come after me.â
She valued her life, and there were too many things that she hadnât done. She couldnât die like that.
Dexter frowned, displeased. âWhat are you afraid of with me around?â
With him holding her hand tightly, Josie lost her sanity. The words âwith me aroundâ swirled around in her heart. She didnât know how to reply at that moment.
Upon seeing that she had stopped trembling, Dexter let go. âMason Garden has strict security. Non-
residents have no way of getting in, just like Russell Group. He canât do anything to you.â
âBut what about when I go to work and leave work⦠And when I visit my dad at the hospital. What should I do if he camps out at one spot?â
Dexter pursed his lips tightly. âFrom today onwards, weâll go to and leave work together. As for going to the hospital, if thereâs a clash in our schedules, I will get someone to go with you.â
In other words, if there was no clash of schedules, he would go with her.
Josie clenched her fists unconsciously. âActually⦠you donât need to protect me like this.â
âThis is my duty.â Dexter didnât think that it was strange. âSince youâre married to me, I am responsible for your safety. But of course, thatâs only if you listen to me.â
Josie ignored the paradox in what he said and nodded at once. âI will! If you ask me to jump, I will ask how high!â
Dexter gave her a strong sense of security. After all, as the business executor of Russell Group, he had a unique identity. Josie wouldnât die if she obeyed him.
Dexter twisted his fingers gently and felt her warmth from just now.
âI have to remind you of something.â
âWhat is it?â
âYou used Nicole terminating the engagement as an excuse to try and stop Justin and his mom from getting the sum of the medical expenses. But Justin is heavily in debt. He might become more extreme when he reaches the end of his rope. How will you stop him?â
Dexter hit the nail and got to the bottom of things at once.
Josie had a splitting headache, but she understood. âI didnât overthink it at the time. I emphasized the wedding and forgot about this.â
âThen what do you think I should do? I believe they canât get the medical fees, but Iâm afraid they will lay a finger on my dad!â
âWait and see what happens.â
At night.
âDexter!â
Josie woke up with fright. She had a dream where Justin held a knife against her neck as he asked about Nicoleâs whereabouts. She was so spooked that she cried out loud.
There was still lingering fear in her heart when she woke up. She stood on the moonlight-filled balcony and was lost in thought. She kept thinking about one question â Why did I call out for Dexter in my nightmare?
It seemed like he had been protecting her since they got married.
Am I⦠slowly starting to rely on him?
