Chapter 778 Let’s Get a Divorce
Intoxicated with alcohol, Dexter was aggrieved like a child. “There’s really nothing between. Heather and I.”
This was the first intimate interaction they had after many days.
Dexter had the confidence to explain himself, but the latter didn’t.
Dexter began hastily removing her clothes, tearing off her sleepwear. He was eagerly trying to prove something. Josie allowed him to do as he pleased and let out a moan. Thereafter, the man’s movement suddenly stopped, and he stopped gazing at her. Moments later, he gripped Josie’s hair and covered her eyes. This time, Josie heard his muffled moan.
It was the first time he had lost his composure in front of her.
“Dexter, I suspect Heather.” Josie blurted out of the blue.
There was a moment of silence before Dexter frowned. “It can’t be her.”
Josie sat up immediately and looked at him in the moonlight. “She’s now the daughter of the Olsen family, so she has the power to do so. Besides, I fired her. She might be resentful and could…”
Dexter held Josie’s hand. “Jo, do you have any evidence?”
Josie was dumbstruck. Indeed, she didn’t have any substantive evidence. “I…”
Dexter’s expression stiffened. After a while, he caressed her hair. “She wouldn’t do that. Rest. well.”
With that, he left the master bedroom. His trust in Heather was boundless.
Lying on the bed, Josie was overwhelmed with desolation as tears streamed down her cheeks. She thought of Paul again. If he were around, he would surely trust her.
As dawn broke, the morning sun shone upon the fully-bloomed summer flowers in the
arden. Josie finally got up and put on makeup in front of the huge mirror in the bathroom. The mirror reflected her delicate gestures and flawless contours.
She took her phone and typed out a message. She hesitated for a long time before finally pressing the send button..
‘Let’s get a divorce.”
At that time, Dexter had sole control over the Russell Group. As such, it was difficult for

foreign investors to venture into the conglomerate. However, if they took advantage of the company’s vulnerable situation during a crisis to use leverage to buy its shares and join forces with other domestic enterprises to aggressively target the Russell Group, Dexter might not be able to hold out despite his power.
After Josie’s incident, the Russell Group had lost its market value by thirty percent. Such loss. was severe damage to the company. As one of the top conglomerates, once the Russell Group was breached by foreign investors, it couldn’t escape the fate of being disintegrated or restructured. If that happened, the conglomerate would become worthless.
As for the political circles, Dexter had seized many interests from various political figures. and offended many of them while acting as the CEO. If the politicians chose to align with foreign investors to tackle the Russell Group at the national level, the situation would. become more devastating.
Apparently, they wouldn’t stay out of the matter and act like saints.
Foreign investors’ bearish attitude toward the Russell Group caused dissatisfaction among market traders. However, the securities commission promptly responded, claiming that the foreign investor’s funding was legitimate and there was no suspicion of insider trading. Ast long as the investors complied with relevant regulations, the commission would not intervene.
The Carter Group’s tackle on the Russell Group was particularly aggressive. Dexter had stayed in the office the past three days to monitor the stock market. He was truly stretched thin.
At the same time, many market traders in the exchange had grown weary. As long as the aftermath of Josie’s incident was not resolved, there was no way they could salvage the stock market’s condition.
One day, Larry seized a brief moment to update Dexter about Josie. “Mr. Russell, Mrs. Russel has left Mason Garden.”
