Chapter 717 Life and Death

It was Leanne!

Why was she given permission to be here, standing with Dexter in such a sensitive situation??

In her astonishment, Josie endured Dexter’s scrutiny.

“I believe I handled it well, wouldn’t you say, Mrs. Russell?”

Arnold chuckled, his query directed beside him.

Josie shot him a furious look, her expression shifting to one of seriousness and embarrassment.

Leanne caught Josie’s gaze and instinctively lowered her head, addressing Dexter, “Mr. Russell, should
I excuse myself for now?”

Leanne’s approach to Dexter was strictly professional, conveying a forthcoming demeanor that implied
any inappropriate interactions.

This transparency was at least public.

Unexpectedly, Dexter raised his hand, signaling her to stay, “Stay right here.”

Leanne was puzzled, briefly glancing at Josie.

Josie pressed her lips together, withholding any response.

Dexter’s expression grew stern. “Arnold, your underling had zero manners, crossed the line, and
provoked my family. Seems only right I give him a taste of discipline.”

No respect whatsoever in that sardonic gaze.

“Of course, you were right. He had it coming.



Arnold strode up to Scar and quickly glanced at him, saying, “But I’m curious, who did he tick off that
got you so riled up?”

“With the hefty cost of Wyatt being in the ICU, you’re definitely not holding back,” Dexter spoke
candidly and named the person directly.

Arnold’s understanding seemed hazy at first, but then it clicked suddenly.

“Ah, Wyatt… but you can’t just put the blame solely on Scar. Wyatt came to my turf uninvited, created a
scene, and criticized you in and out, Dex. Naturally, I couldn’t let it slide, so I allowed Scar to put him in
his place. Whe

would’ve thought it’d escalate to a cerebral hemorrhage out of the blue?”

In simpler terms, Arnold meant that Scar causing Wyatt’s hospitalization wasn’t premeditated. It was an
unfortunate accident.

Dexter’s knowing smirk held an air of intrigue. “And why did you keep me out of the loop on this?”

It appeared he received the news almost simultaneously with Josie. Now, the second lead to Paul had
gone cold.

“Tsk, I was worried you’d hear what he said about you and lose your temper. Plus, Yanis has already
gone to keep my old man company behind bars. For someone like Wyatt, I took it upon myself to give
him a reality check. Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it?”

Arnold was crafty, subtly implying multiple things with just one sentence.

“Every life carries value. I should get something in return,” Dexter asserted, revealing his reluctance to
be on the losing side.



A shudder coursed through Josie as she witnessed Dexter and Arnold discussing life and death with
ease and smiles as if it was a casual subject.

Scar tugged at his restraints and shouted, “Mr. Carter, save me!”

Everyone was well aware that Dexter didn’t show mercy when he chose to act. Should he go through
with it, Scar might end up paying with his life.

“Quiet down! Make sure this lesson sinks in. Keep your eyes wide open and never cross Mr. Russell
again!”

Turning to Dexter, his tone shifted, “Dex, go easy on him, will ya?”

The bodyguards had their whips poised, ready to strike with force.

“That’s enough!”

Josie cut through the chaos, advancing towards Dexter. “Wyatt had a cerebral hemorrhage due to
excessive drinking; it had nothing to do with them.”

Her gaze was unwavering, as if she fully grasped the cause behind Wyatt’s condition. Dexter sensed
this to some extent; his voice remained calm, “How did you manage to get out?”

Josie didn’t mention she had tried contacting him earlier. “Climbed over the wall. No need to blame the
servants.”

Dexter chuckled, “How forthcoming of you.”

He caught a strong whiff of alcohol from her, and a glint of fierceness flashed in the corner of his eyes.



“Jo, you’re a little troublemaker, aren’t you? Must’ve given Mr. Carter a run for his money again. You
really don’t make it easy for me, Dexter said calmly, a touch of underlying turmoil in his words. He lifted
his hand and placed it on Josie’s shoulder, asserting his claim.

“It’s not like it’s the first time. A couple more won’t hurt,” Arnold added with a smirk, fanning the flames.

“I came to look into Wyatt,” Josie said in a hushed tone, addressing Dexter.

“You sure do have a knack for getting involved in my business,” Dexter commented, motioning for his
bodyguards to step back. “Let him go.”

Scar was set free, landing hard on the ground. He clung to his tough exterior, issuing a menacing
threat. “Dexter, mark my words. I’ll make it my life’s mission to get back at you and make you pay in the
future!”
