Chapter 775 An Unfaithful Wife Is as Good as a Prostitute
She didn’t know what she was thinking as her mind was cluttered.
After some time, Josie could no longer fight tiredness and fell asleep by the bed. She was so stressed that she could break down anytime.
When Dexter woke up, he caught a familiar scent. He turned to the side and saw the woman whom he had missed terribly. He closed his eyes, feeling a throbbing pain in his brows.
Enduring the pain, he found his jacket and gently draped it over Josie. His face turned red as he suppressed his coughing, so he wouldn’t wake her up.
Josie woke up after a short while and saw Larry adjusting Dexter’s IV drip, so she thought Larry had put the jacket on her. Feeling bitter, she thanked him softly, thinking Dexter had not woken up.
She stood up and left the ward. Before that, she exhorted Larry not to tell Dexter she had visited.
Larry had not been in a relationship and couldn’t understand the dynamics between the couple. When he boldly asked Dexter, the latter stared blankly at the door, clenching his fists. and coughing. His eyes were filled with agony. “She’ll feel embarra*sed.”
Meanwhile, Josie didn’t leave the hospital but decided to undergo an examination, which would require her to swallow her pride and dignity.
Xanthe soon received the news of Dexter’s hospitalization.
She arrived at the ward alone, looking proud and confident, which made one recall her vehemence back then when she temporarily took over the position of the Russell Group’s chairman.
Her anger was palpable.
“You should divorce her.” This was the first thing she said to Dexter.
Dexter had gotten up, leaning against the bed and reviewing some documents. He lifted his eyes wearily and said, “The situation has yet to be clarified.”
Xanthe was flustered. “What else do you want to clarify? At the press conference, you. didn’t confirm if the pictures were photoshopped. They are real, aren’t they? The rumors are true. Am I right?!”
Xanthe pushed away the gla*s of water served by the servant and flared up.

“As an outsider, I could tell your marriage has had issues for some time. Look at what happens now. Tell me, how are you going to salvage the company’s stock price and compensate the business partners? Foreign competitors and politicians have always been. eyeing you. How do you plan to hold out this time?!”
Dexter listened quietly until Xanthe finished speaking. Then, he removed his gla*ses aloofly and put them aside. “What do all these have to do with you? I can handle it.”
Xanthe remained silent for a moment before saying gloomily, “If your father knew this, he wouldn’t agree for you to continue this marriage.”
At the mention of his father, Dexter shot a fierce glare at Xanthe. “You have no right to bring. him up. Moreover, he wasn’t an unreasonable man!”
Xanthe sneered. “This isn’t even about being reasonable or not. Let me ask you, if she indeed. slept with another man, won’t you feel uncomfortable being with her moving forward?”
She knew her son well. Ever since he was young, he had been using all the best and most unique things. Now that Josie was tainted by someone else…
Dexter gulped, feeling his heart squeezed.
He wouldn’t mind giving his kingdom up to anyone who was capable of vying for it, but Josie was untouchable. He could abandon everything for anything that was related to her.
Perceiving his silence, Xanthe blurted mercilessly, “An unfaithful wife is as good as a prostitute. Think about it.”
‘Bang!’
Suddenly, Dexter swept everything off the bedside table. Like a trapped beast in a cage, he was provoked, emanating a ferocious and deadly aura.
“Get out!”
