Chapter 152 Calling Him Cruel
Dexter didn’t answer.
Leo sat on the floor and lost all his energy. No one knew how much he had heard.
Arnold stood up and signaled for people to take him away before saying, “Dexter’s forehead is bleeding. Why are you still staring blankly?”
After that, the staff in the private room came to their senses and started to bustle about and deal with it hurriedly.
Dexter raised his hand to stop them. He took out a paper towel and wiped his forehead. “It’s a minor injury. It’s not a big deal. Why are you here today?”
Arnold pulled a chair and sat down. He said honestly, “Martin is being investigated, so Landon is in unrest, and they can’t access their funds. I came to dig for information. Do you still insist on taking over this dump, Dexter?”
Dexter crumpled his blood-stained paper towel into a ball and threw it into the trash. He said half-jokingly, “Since you know that it’s a dump, you don’t want it either, right, Arnold?”
Arnold said, “The subsidiaries under Carter Group have gone through a second round of financing. We have more than one billion. We’re not inferior to Russell Group.”
“I know.” Dexter took a napkin to wipe his hand. “It’s good news to Carter Group, who has been through serious damages. One good move makes all the difference. Good job.”
Arnold said, “Dexter, Landon isn’t my only goal.”
Dexter laughed indifferently when he heard it. “I heard that you love the girls that Calvin has. here. Did you come here for them today?”
“As you know, I love good food and beautiful women.”
It was cold late at night, but the women at the bar’s entrance didn’t seem cold. Their skirts. and dresses were so short and only reached their thighs.
Josie stood at the door for a long time and shivered in the cold. Her heart also felt chilly.
Dexter came out with Calvin. The latter laughed and said, “I see you were wounded in action, Mrs. Russell. Claire was carried out, so I thought you had a complete victory.”
Josie froze, and she looked around subconsciously. “Don’t announce it out loud. I’m not

didn’t
She didn’t know what to say. “… I just came out.”
Calvin went forward to size up her expression, and he quickly understood. “Dex was just held up at his social gathering. Are you upset?”
His tone sounded like he was coaxing a child. Josie was exasperated. “No.”
After leaving Heaven on Earth, the car had a tense atmosphere. Dexter replied to an email on his cell phone and asked, “How much did you hear?”
Josie was startled and looked up unconsciously to see his quiet expression. He knows about it? “Not much… I wanted to look for you and happened to hear it.”
“Where were you?”
“In the private room next door.”
Dexter typed quickly with his hands and silently acknowledged her.
Josie could no longer hold back. “Why? There are many ways to bring down the Ardon. family. Why did you have to use Leo? Wasn’t that too cruel?”
When Dexter heard the word ‘cruel,’ he stopped typing and lifted his head. He had an attractive lower jawline. “You think I’m cruel?”

Josie didn’t dare to look him in the eye, but the feeling of injustice bubbled in her heart. “Aren’t you? Although he’s a cocky son from a wealthy family, you were like a brother to him. You were his role model. Anyone else could have made a move against them, and it wouldn’t have hurt as much as it did when it came from you. You personally sent him to his demise.”
“Do you have any emotions, Dexter? Or are you just pretending?”
Dexter turned off his cell phone and sneered. “You’re the first person to talk to me about feelings.”
Josie gulped. She was actually very nervous. “I’m not the first. Leo did it, too.”
