Chapter 498 Did the Birth Control Pills Cause an Ectopic Pregnancy?
Before she could answer, her cell phone vibrated. Arnold had replied. ‘Yes.‘
He admitted it openly.
Josie answered Mallory’s question. “I’m pregnant.”
Mallory raised her brows and was about to congratulate Josie when Josie continued. “It’s
an ectopic pregnancy. The doctor suggested that I abort it immediately.” D
She saw Mallory’s smile dim.
“What do you think?”
“No. At least not for now. Dexter and Russell Group are at a critical juncture. I don’t have
the time to do such a thing.” D
Josie answered decisively. She took her prescription to get some medicine and asked the
doctor to prescribe temporary painkillers.

Mallory followed Josie. “Are you overthinking this? You should discuss this with Dexter.
After all, he’s the child’s father.”
Josie didn’t know if this was a cruel joke on herself or fate. “He doesn’t have the time for
me now. It’s just a child that can’t be born. It’s not important.”
She couldn’t help but think. How will Dexter react if he finds out he has a child? Will he be
happy or indifferent? But Dexter doesn’t like children. Otherwise, he wouldn’t make me
take birth control. D
She couldn’t help but think… Is it because the birth control pills harmed me and caused
this ectopic pregnancy? She shouldn’t have been overthinking at such a critical juncture.

Mallory caught up to Josie and cleared her throat. “As an outsider, I shouldn’t comment,
but he should at least know.”
Josie took her medicine and forced a smile. “Of course. I’ll tell him.”
However, Dexter’s negotiations went on the whole day.
The negotiation teams of both parties were neck and neck.
Dexter oversaw the entire process. When faced with various funding representatives, he
stood his ground. He even skillfully made an unrelated joke.
Countless prying gazes were on him.
Capital never sleeps. Companies deteriorated every day, so no one found it strange. They
wanted to see how Dexter would turn the situation around and shrewdly make a
comeback. Russell Group’s survival depended on Dexter.
During the break, the media quickly published articles. They said that Dexter had privately
met with an
executive who had met with the same crisis and successfully resolved it.
On the other end, Larry deftly reported the current capital situation of Russell Group and
foreign investors. “Our restraint against Carter Group was useless. There must be
someone behind Arnold.”
“Investigate,” Dexter spoke succinctly..
Larry didn’t sense too much of a crisis. It seemed like nothing terrible would happen as
long as Dexter stood firm. O

was perceptive. “What’s wrong with your eyes?”
Dexter’s tall and slender figure walked forward, and he said, “Ignore me.”
His eyelids had been twitching the whole day, and it upset him. He wanted to lose his
temper for no reason, as though something had happened…
Calvin handed him a cell phone. “Call her. Since she’s here, she’s clearly worried about
you.”
Dexter had his first genuine laugh in twenty–four hours but didn’t take the cell phone. “It’s
alright. She’ll be more worried if I call her. I’ll talk to her when it’s done”
“Have you fallen in love with her?” Calvin said half–jokingly in an amazed tone.
Dexter continued walking forward, and he seemed to have relaxed slightly. “Indeed. An
unmarried person like you won’t understand.”
The corners of Calvin’s mouth twitched. He questioned why he had to come thousands of
miles to listen to Dexter brag.
