Chapter 691 He Wonât Die with You Around âWhat would you do if I killed him? Dexter pulled out a tissue and slowly wiped his palm.
Josie felt a shiver down her spine and did not doubt that Dexter would kill Arnold as he said. âThatâs a crime.â
Dexter sneered, âHe wonât die with you around.â
Josie resisted lashing out at him. She closed her eyes and said, âWhat will you do about the waiter from just now?â
âLarry has explained about him.â
But Josie knew Arnold would not let the waiter off. She imagined he, like her, would become a tool in Dexter and Arnoldâs game.
âJosie!â Dexter shouted suddenly. âIf I donât get rid of Arnold, he will not hesitate to retaliate and kill me.â
Josie observed him through the darkness.
Everyone in Wavery knew Dexter and Arnold were rivals.
Two days later, Josie prepared tea for Paul in Mason Garden. He took a sip and shook his head. âJosie, youâre bad at making tea. You should stop making it.â
Josie wanted to laugh at herself. âIt seents Iâm only good at drawing.â
Paul was unsure about how he should respond. âErm, right. You should focus on what you can do.â
Josie was left speechless. She grabbed her phone without thinking and saw a notification about a news. article. Wavery is struck with another construction accident, resulting in the dismissal of the director of the cityâs industrial and commercial department!
Her hands shook.
Dexter succeeded despite the odds and ended the matter within two days. It seemed Arnold did not even have the chance to do anything.
Josie opened the article and read through the detailed reporting on corruption matters. The article also said that the police stopped Mr. Lynchâs family at the airport before they had a chance to escape.
Dexter quickly took down all the perpetrators with his plan.
Josie searched all over the Web and could not find news about Will. She calmed down and pondered on it Then, she guessed this was the most extensive result Dexterâs plan could hope to achieve.
However, he could not proceed further than that.
If he did, he would not only face obstruction from Arnold Even the higher-ups would forbid him from going further Still, the damage to Carter Groupâs reputation was sulligent to assuage Dexterâs fury But Jour knew Dexter could achieve more if she had ng gotten in his way 12 âWhy are you angry? I donât remember you ever liked teaâ Paul noticed her silence and tried to coax her Josie got out of her daze and responded. âWho likes tea? Not me.â
âYouâve been brewing tea for two days straight, switching between chamomile and Darjeeling tea, Paul spoke as if he was the victim of her tea obsession.
Josie was stumped. She could not help but recall Lianaâs elegant gestures as she prepared tea in Heaven on Earth.
The memory left her frustrated. âAm I unsophisticated?
Noises of a car sounded from downstairs as she asked this question. Dexter had returned. Larry exited the car first and opened the door for Dexter. He saw Josie and waved at her with a smile.
However, Josie turned away and pretended not to notice.
Larry felt awkward. âMr. Russell, is Mrs. Russell still and Dexter did not look up. He exited the car by himself and headed into the house. âLet her beâ
âWhat if the Olsen family fails to conceal the matter? There are already rumors in the upper-class circle. If Mrs. Russell were to hear...â Larry was worried.
Dexter planned to go to the study but paused upon hearing Larry. He headed to the balcony instead. Meanwhile, Josie covered herself with a shawl and closed her eyes to enjoy the sunlight.
âDad,â Dexter greeted Paul with a nod.
Paul waved at him. âCome here. Josie brewed tea. You should give it a try.â
As expected, Josie did not get up,to pour tea for him. Dexter looked down and picked up the cup before her. The tea had cooled, but he could still taste its slight bitterness.
âChamomile tea, Dexter said softly.
