Chapter 862 Do Not Marry Her
Dexter continued to puff on his cigarette, his smile somewhat chilling. “Actually, perhaps I
should grant you your wish.”
Josie felt a chill running down her spine.
In the next second, Dexter again gripped the back of her neck and drew her close as he
did previously. But this time, he didn’t kiss her. Instead, he brought the cigarette he had
smoked before her, forcing her to place it between her lips.
Josie was on the verge of losing her mind.
The cigarette Dexter smoked was exceedingly strong, making Josie choke. Her throat
stung, and she coughed so violently that she couldn’t catch her breath. Tears welled up in
her eyes. Nonetheless, her graceful figure was still evident in her movements.
Dexter was also feeling discomfited at the sight. “Why have you stopped?”
Josie hadn’t expected the scoundrel to remain hung up on that matter. Her soft and
delicate hand rested against his leg, catching her in a dilemma of whether to continue.
“Won’t Liana be upset if we do this?” Josie reminded, tilted her head back.

his fingertips. He frowned. “She won’t know.”
“Is it that so? Or will she still be fine even if she knows?” Crouched between his legs. Josie
softened her posture. “Since she likes you so much, will she be okay with you keeping me
as a mistress even after you’re married?”
That remark was overly callous, and a chill flashed in Dexter’s eyes. “You’re feeling me
out.”
Josie readily admitted to it. “There’s no need to do so. It’s common knowledge that the
Russell family is set to form a marriage alliance with the Olsen family.”
Dexter neither affirmed nor denied it. He snubbed out his cigarette. “You’re different from
her.”
“What makes us different?” Josie asked, probing further. “Is it just because she’s the
daughter of an elite family while I’m just an ordinary person?”
Dexter stared at her, then scoffed, “If so, you’re quite capable for an ordinary person.”
Josie’s gaze was captivating. “Have you bedded her?”
She glimpsed the sudden stiffening of his expression
“You did?” Undeniably, Josie’s heart skipped a beat when she asked that question.
However, Dexter quickly denied it. “No.”
She was stunned for a moment. From his expression, she could tell that he wasn’t lying. A
subtle feeling sparked to life within her. “So, you’ve remained chaste for me, Mr. Russell.”
with that answer, she still pretended otherwise. Dexter frowned. He lifted her onto
forcefully holding her down.

In spite of the constant conflicts, Josie always knew that she could never truly hate the
man. He was not only her childhood playmate but also her first love.
At that moment, she tilted her head back slightly with her neck subtly elongated, exuding
an indescribable.
allure.
Dexter toyed with her earlobe absentmindedly. “Sever all ties with Morgan.”
Josie didn’t respond to that. “Then, you’re not to marry Liana.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as she said that, she distinctly sensed him stilling in his movements. In a flash, a
wave of despair flooded her. But she suppressed it.
“Don’t marry her, and I’ll cut ties with Morgan.”
Dexter’s eyes that were as dark as night betrayed no emotion. He didn’t respond to that.
That could almost be considered an answer.
“Even you need a marriage alliance?” Josie sneered, smirking. “I thought you’re invincible,
Mr. Russell.”
Dexter dropped his hold on her, completely losing all interest. “Josie, don’t take advantage
of the little patience I have for you. It will only disgust me.”
Josie lay motionless, staring blankly at the ceiling.
“If you get married, I’ll disappear completely.”
In this world, there were few who dared to threaten Dexter. Josie was one of them.
He took in her words. Then, he bent down and picked his belt up before walking out with it
in his hand. “Try it, then.”
It was a light and brief remark yet carried significant weight.
