However, Heather could not follow him, as she had been summoned back to the Olsen residence.
When Dexter arrived, Marilyn was keeping watch over Grandpa as he slept.
As he fell into deep thought, the man began to finger the rosary beads in his hands. âMs. Marilyn, who told Grandpa about Paulâs disappearance?â
Old Mr. Russell fainted that day because he had been told about the incident.
It was difficult for Old Mr. Russell to make a new friend in his golden years, so the news about Paul profoundly impacted him.
Marilyn shook her head sadly. âNo one dared to tell him about Paul, but he fainted after receiving a call that day.â
Dexter had tried to track down the phone number, but it was an overseas call, so he could do nothing.
It was a deliberate attempt to upset Grandpa. Who would do such a thing? Dexter was furious at the thought.
At the same time, he had sent his men to find Josie. He had assembled his most capable men, who had been through hell and back, to find a way into Wayneâs compound.
He was eager to learn about Josieâs situation.
He couldnât imagine what his life would be like if he lost her.
âDex, you donât look well. Have you been sleeping well?â Marilyn asked as she poured him a cup of hot water.
Dexterâs eye bags were beginning to show. He had woken up several times in the middle of the night, sweating and shaking from nightmares about Josie begging him to save her. He felt his blood run cold.
every time.
He couldnât take it any longer.
âIf Grandpa doesnât wake up by tomorrow, Iâll have to leave,â he said, looking up at Marilyn. His eyes were clear with determination. âJosie is in trouble, and I have to help her.â
Marilyn nodded and turned to look at Old Mr. Russell. âYour grandfather will understand. Donât worry.â
Larry sat in the car after leaving the hospital, his face grave and solemn. He held the documents tightly in his hands. âMr. Russell, there have been too many things going on,â he said with a solemn voice.
Dexter narrowed his eyes. He was exhausted, and his voice was hoarse. âExplain them to me one by one.â he ordered.
Larry then reported the recent incidents to Dexter throughout the car ride. âEver since Summer messed her project multiple times, Mark has focused on Zach. Zach had never shown any outstanding results, but heâs been getting much more attention these days.â
Mark was still a businessman through and through. He would only keep the people who benefited him.
around.
Dexter saw through Markâs intentions. âHe must have a military adviser,â he said derisively.
Larry was startled by his response. âWho?â he asked.
The manâs face turned grim. He lowered the window and reached his hands out to feel the breeze.
Heather would tell him everything he wanted to know, even the way Mark pampered Summer and praised her brother.
âI initially heard rumors that Zach and Laura were not on good terms, but I noticed that they have treated. each other very respectfully since I returned. Also, Zach has complied with Lauraâs opinion, especially on work matters.â
His casual utterance revealed critical information.
Dexter didnât ask any further, knowing that Heather would eventually tell him everything.
He had sent his people to investigate the matter, and they discovered that Zachâs projects were related to one woman.
He had never thought that the slow-witted beauty Laura would turn out to be so competent.
There must be something more to this.
