Chapter 663 Offending Mrs Russell Once the culprit stepped up and admitted her guilt, the manager understood it would result in the girlâs downfall.
For subordinates, having their supervisorâs support was something to be grateful for. Still, if the supervisor refused, the subordinateâs problem wasnât their concern or responsibility.
Ruby quivered in fear. Her previous arrogance towards Josie had now vanished.
She dared not lift her head and meet his eyes in Dexterâs overpowering presence.
âIâm sorry for my actions, Mr. Russell. I didnât know my place and offended Mrs. Russell. You can punish me however you think is appropriate!â Ruby apologized in a flutter, bowing deeply.
Dexter gave her a cold stare and asked, âWhich university do you attend?â
Ruby glanced at his expression and stuttered, ââ¦D⦠D University.â
Their eyes briefly met that moment, sending a shiver down Rubyâs spine.
With just a few glances, this man towering over her could see right through a personâs social background. And she knew nothing about himâ¦
The absolute dominance of power was terrifying and humbling, making Ruby feel inferior and insignificant.
Dexter shifted his gaze away and instructed Larry, âCheck if thereâs such a person at D University.â
Larry was about to take out his phone when Ruby suddenly blurted out, âMr. Russell⦠I, I didnât attend D University. I go to A Universityâ¦â

And it appeared to be true.
Sensing that things were about to get out of hand, the manager quickly said, âMr. Russell, please give her a chance. Sheâs young and new to all this. She chose to work here at our hotel. because her family has a sick relative, and she needed the moneyâ¦â
Î The manager attempted to excuse Rubyâs misconduct by highlighting her vulnerability.
Dexter glanced at him as if half-understanding. âNeeds money, huh? I suppose so. I mean, what does a college student know, right?â
The manager forced a smile. âExactlyâ¦â
âBut,â he suddenly changed his tone, âsince youâre working here, it doesnât matter if youâre a college student or if you need money.â
Rubyâs heart sank.
Dexter raised his hand slightly, motioning to Larry. âLet the media know.â
Then, the Daily Wavery would feature the story of a college studentâs downfall, enmeshed in a corrupted lifestyle, delving deep into and investigating the syndicate.
Dexter wouldnât even have to intervene personally. With a simple command, he could ruin a young girlâs life.
Ruby crumbled to the ground, and Dexter didnât spare her another glance as he stood. up and left, glanced at the embarrassed-looking manager, and remarked, âOur hotel needs some serious cleanup, or it will eventually tarnish my reputation.â

âAll sorted now.â
âMmm.â Dexter covered her with the blanket. âAll taken care of now.â
