Chapter 830 He Did It
Suddenly, a figure blocked Josie’s prying gaze. It was Zach. “Ms. Warren, you’ve dropped
Laura off. You can leave now,” he said coldly, his voice filled with disdain for her.
Josie remained unfazed. “Laura hasn’t asked me to leave yet. Why are you being so
presumptuous?”
Her underlying message carried a hint of mockery. Laura held considerable influence now,
and Zach no longer dared to mistreat her as he once did. In fact, he seemed somewhat
apprehensive of her.
“You!”
“Zach.” Dexter’s voice interrupted the tension. He lightly tapped Heather and said, “You
siblings should have a chat.”
After saying that, he stepped forward, his intention quite clear.
Zach was indeed wary of him. After struggling for a while, he still took a step back, turning
around with a face full of disgust.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHeather frowned with worry. “Dex…”
Nevertheless, the man remained calm and composed. He gestured for her to remain quiet
and closed the door behind him, shutting out the prying eyes from the room. In the
hallway, only Dexter and Josie remained.
Dexter’s calm gaze felt more intense than the effects of alcohol and smoke in the air.
Josie craned her head to meet his eyes. “You did this, didn’t you?”
Dexter stayed silent, but he took her wrist and led her upstairs. It was only when they
reached the rooftop that he released her wrist and spoke. “Summer’s actions were her
own doing; I couldn’t control her.”
In the past few minutes, Josie had pieced together the situation. She rotated her bruised
wrist and remarked, “You were aware that Summer was involved in the photo incident.
After returning to Wavery, a series of scandals involving her surfaced, enraging Mark and
leading to this situation. How is this not revenge?”
Her words were filled with seriousness, and the sunlight cast an amber hue in her eyes.
Dexter listened attentively before breaking into laughter. “What’s the point of seeking
revenge? We’re already divorced.”
The word “divorce” stiffened Josie. Indeed, they were divorced.
She shifted slightly and said, “Who said it had to be for my sake? Summer has severely
harmed the Russell Group, and by extension, your reputation has suffered. Seeking
revenge for yourself would be entirely reasonable.”
Dexter tilted her chin up, his other hand lightly resting on her shoulder as he leaned in.
“Even if that were true, I wouldn’t have expected Summer to stoop this low.”
Indeed, that part didn’t make sense, but in a flash, Josie remembered the doctor
mentioning Summer’s claustrophobia. She furrowed her brows. “Did you do something to
her?”
As Josie watched, Dexter’s lips curled into a smile, a smile that was almost chilling.

“You’ve become smarter, Jo.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You!” Josie was incredulous, and her pupils were slightly dilated.
It’s Summer we’re talking about. The means to make her claustrophobic must be beyond
imagination. And this man in front of me, he always has countless ways to torment people.
“I didn’t share her photos; that’s already me being as merciful as I can be.” Dexter’s
expression gradually turned cold, resembling a venomous snake in the summer heat.
Josie shivered despite the sun being at its zenith. “Is this what you consider a ‘gift”?”
Dexter seemed puzzled. “Not satisfied? Well, there’s another gift. That guy’s currently
under investigation. by the Securities Regulatory Commission, but it appears he’ll return
soon.”
Josie furrowed her brows deeply. She certainly wanted to retaliate against Summer,
especially after the damage to her reputation. However, she hadn’t anticipated Dexter’s
approach to be so ruthless, striking. without spilling blood.
“An eye for an eye,” seemed to perfectly describe Dexter’s actions, with no room for
deviation.
He let out a soft sigh, prompting Josie to look up at him. “I went to great lengths to
prepare a gift for you, and yet you won’t behave.”
