Chapter 347 There’s Still Time to Change Your Mind
Ivy fixed a piercing gaze on Josie, her expression filled with disdain. “You’re quite the
cunning one, aren’t you? Knowing your time as Mrs. Russell was limited, you seduced
Arnold and won him over to your side. Impressive how you managed to maintain that
relationship,” she taunted. “so, did you sleep with him?”
Josie stood her ground, her voice steady. “Arnold and I have never crossed that line. As she
locked eyes with Ivy, a realization dawned on her. “You were aware of the close connection
between Arnold and me, which is why you sent those photos to Dexter, pretending they
came from Arnold.”
Ivy sneered, neither confirming nor denying Josie’s accusation. A sense of indifference
seemned to wash over her. “You fooled me, keeping me under your control all this time!”
A subtle tremor passed through Ivy’s body, her gaze wandering as if lost in distant
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmemories, “The first time I laid eyes on Dexter was at an airport overseas. I had lost my
luggage during the check-in process, and I was in despair, unable to speak Spanish or
receive proper assistance. That’s when he appeared and offered his help
“I’m not lying. I had no idea about his high status and identity then. Yet, I was attracted to
him. It was love at first sight, Ivy confessed, her voice tinged with nostalgia and bitterness.
“We were only together briefly, but he lifted me out of despair, giving me a glimpse of a
better life, teaching me elegance and grace.”
“I knew I didn’t deserve someone like him, but I couldn’t help but hope. And then, within
just a couple of days, he offered me the position of his special assistant. These past few
years by his side have felt like a dream, fulfilling beyond words.”
“But… he was heartless… He discovered my feelings for him and fired me.” Ivy showed no
hint of remorse. She slowly lowered herself to a squatting position, her voice wavering
with a chilling tone. “He was unbelievably heartless…”
As Josie observed her, Ivy had manifested signs of obsession with Dexter.
Josie’s words were blunt, yet they hit the mark with unwavering truth. “You knew from the
start he wouldn’t have feelings for you…”
Tears streamed down Ivy’s face uncontrollably, smudging her makeup into a messy blur.
“You’re right. But why? I’m an exceptional woman. Why doesn’t he like me? Josie, it’s all
because of you. Everything is because of you!”
Despite facing Ivy’s frenzied screaming, Josie remained composed. She spoke slowly,
deliberately. “You can’t hold onto someone like him.”
Ivy glared at her.
Josie continued, “I can’t hold onto him either.”
“As his special assistant, you should know that women would flock to him with his status
and attractiveness. Don’t you know that he could easily date multiple girlfriends
simultaneously?”
Ivy momentarily contemplated Josie’s words before letting out a cold, disdainful laugh.
“Are you trying to lecture me? How presumptuous of you. Just because you’re Mrs. Russell,
you think you’re above everyone else and your life is secure. Dexter understands what
goes in your mind. Even if you hold the title of his wife, it won’t guarantee you any special
treatment.”
Blood trickled from Josie’s mouth as she trembled with fear and anger. “At least I’m the
rightful Mrs. Russell. Dexter still acknowledges me as his wife. We have no prenuptial
agreement, so if we divorce, I have a claim to his assets. But what about you?”
Aware of Ivy’s plan and hoping to buy some time, Josie attempted to distract her.
Ivy tightly clenched the hemp rope, causing her fingertips to turn white.
“Ivy, just think about it. You’ve got credentials from the Russell Group that can take you
places. Why settle for this crumbling place and waste your youth? There’s still time for you
to change your mind.”
