Chapter 382 Negotiation
Josie undoubtedly caved under such silence.

She broke the silence with a strained voice. “So your true purpose wasn’t Carter Group. It
was Wyatt.”
Dexter was playing with his wineglass with his bony hands. “Once Yanis’ process was
done, it was only natural to recover the value.”
He had deliberately let go and given Wyatt authority but wouldn’t let Wyatt truly occupy
the market. He had tormented Wyatt to reclaim the power.
Josie took a deep breath. “Wyatt’s company can’t go on the market, and he agreed to
allow the overseas company… no, to let Russell Group into the board of directors. We will
let you into the general shareholders’ meeting, but you can’t touch his position. His
position must be safe.”
Dexter was raising his glass to his lips, and he paused. The corners of his lips twitched,
and he said contemptuously, “When the market opens tomorrow, the stock prices will
continue to drop. The shares he owns will become a worthless sheet of paper. What
leverage do you have to make demands?”
After that, he finished his drink.

Josie’s hands by her side clenched tightly. He had really pushed them into a corner.
She took a deep breath and suddenly raised her head. Her bitter gaze turned into a firm
one. She restrained her voice from trembling. “I’m not discussing this with you on behalf
of Wyatt.”
The man raised his brows slightly. He didn’t expect what she would say next. “I’m sitting
here as your wife.”
Dexter’s heart stopped. He was momentarily taken aback.
“I’m begging you to let them go.”
From Josie’s strong demeanor, he never thought she would suddenly arm-twist him. She
pulled the rug from under him…
She looked down and felt extremely humiliated. She hadn’t wanted to use such a way to
plead with him.
But if she didn’t… She didn’t know how ruthless the man would be.
Of course, she wasn’t confident Dexter would be moved because of what she said.
What will he say? Will he say that work and personal matters can’t be intertwined? Or will
he ridicule me for being naive again?
Josie was prepared, but she never thought the man would put the wineglass down. It
made a sound in the quiet room. He said indifferently. “Since Wyatt has given up other
seats, I can allow him to stay on the board. The brands under his banner will still be
cohesive. I promise they won’t be torn apart and relocated to other companies.”
The light cast a dim shadow on the man’s face. Even his side profile was handsome.
She had successfully pulled the rug from under him.
This was Dexter’s most significant concession.
She was still silent. Dexter stared at the haggard woman, and his hardened heart suddenly
softened. His throat rumbled.
Josie said, “I need time to think about it.”
Dexter glanced at his watch and said. “The market is opening in two hours. You can go in
and rest.”
Rest in his break room.
She had been there many times.
Josie turned him down firmly. She walked out of his office and called Wyatt.
She told him the situation, and he didn’t say anything for a long time. He suddenly said,
“Josie, I was too
naïve.”
Josie shut her eyes.

Wyatt had yielded. This was the reality. Life went on. He had to do anything to survive if
he didn’t want to be eliminated from the rat race.
Arnold could no longer give them more funds because he could barely fend for himself.
With the current situation as a precedent, other venture capital investment companies
couldn’t help them out. Wyatt experienced the hypocrisy of the world in the past few days.
Josie always thought she could be an equal rival to Dexter, but she never expected to be
at the end of her road at such an early stage.
She returned coldly to the harsh office, and her expression was indifferent. “I will arrange
for a contract to be written. We can sign it before the market opens for trading.”
In the end, they were defeated by Russell Group.
What the man had done in this trade war could be considered a master class.
When she was turning to leave, the man behind her called out to her. “Wait a moment!”
Josie suddenly stopped. Her legs were slightly weak from being in heels for so long.
Dexter stood up slowly and walked to her one step at a time. The closer he got, the more
she shivered.
His lips brushed her ears. “Remember to come back for dinner tonight, Mrs. Russell.”
Josie restrained herself from slapping him.
