Chapter 798 Announcing Divorce
Some people held such immense power that they could accomplish many things without
having to step in personally.
For instance, a week later, Josie received the divorce certificate delivered by Larry. The
small, formal booklet declared that she and Dexter no longer had any connection.
“Mrs… Ms. Warren, Mr. Russell has stated that the terms of the divorce agreement will not
change. The assets listed will be transferred to your name at an appropriate time. The
Russell Group projects that you managed before the divorce will still be under your
supervision.”
Josie was absentmindedly caressing the booklet with a dazed expression as the man
spoke.
“Ms. Warren?”
“I understand.” Josie smiled a little and said, “Thank you. Mr. Peeple.”
That day, the news of Dexter’s divorce from Josie dominated the top trending topic on
social media. Russell Group’s official account released a statement saying that the couple
divorced due to incompatible personalities and hoped that the public would not speculate
too much.

Some people expected it, claiming personality clashes were nothing more than an excuse.
Meanwhile, at the top floor of Russell Group, Dexter was entertaining an old friend. The
tea he brewed was his friend’s favorite.
“There’s a Clusia proverb,” Zachariah said with a hint of amusement, “that goes ‘requite
evil with good. It’s talking about you.”
Dexter calmly extended a hand, clean and fair, with evenly distributed flesh and straight
joints. His palm was faced downward as he ignored the words spoken to him.
“Have any of the four major domestic banks received loan applications under the name
Arnold Carter?”
“No,” Zachariah replied. “But I can’t say the same for the banks abroad. What if he joins
forces with Josie? What will happen to Russell Group then? If I were you, I would have
signed a prenuptial agreement.”
Before, Dexter had paved the way for Josie by introducing her to many of his friends, and
Zachariah was fortunate enough to have met her once.
And now, what Zachariah hadn’t expected was that Dexter would leave Russell Group’s
most promising project to Josic!
If she truly had an affair with Arnold, coupled with the Carter Group’s covetousness,
Dexter would have a hard time handling everything alone.
Dexter slightly raised his eyebrows, his palm facing upward and his tone indifferent. “She
won’t.”
He then tossed over a document. “Don’t worry about my personal matters.”
Zachariah understood the implications. He flipped through the documents, quite
astonished. “You want to short the Carter Group’s stocks?”

Dexter didn’t respond. He withdrew his hand and put his glasses back on, making him look
even more like a refined yet decadent man. “I need your cooperation.”
“If someone finds out that you’re targeting the Carter Group at this critical juncture, the
matter could be blown out of proportion by the media, which wouldn’t be good for your
reputation.”
Dexter suddenly retorted, “So, by that logic, if it came out that the Carter Group is backed
by foreign. capital, what do you think the public opinion would be?”
“You…”

During this period, the Carter Group had been gaining significant momentum domestically.
Despite their extensive media influence, Russell Group was not to be underestimated as
long as Dexter was willing to take action.
In that case, the Carter Group would face countless impeachments.
Zachariah understood him now. “In that case, I’ll also give you a gift that I happened to
have found out about.”
Dexter raised an eyebrow.
Two minutes later, the man sitting in the shadows underwent a drastic change in
expression. His eyes revealed a murderous intent that had been absent for a long time,
exuding an intense aura of bloodthirstiness.
Summer hadn’t expected Dexter to find where she was staying at. She instinctively
stepped back, dropping her glass of water. The liquid spilled all over the floor.
“Dex, why are you here?”
Dexter walked over with his hands behind his back, gradually approaching Summer. His
pace was slow yer steady. Every step he took radiated a murderous intent, sending chills
down one’s spine.
