Josie was the woman he treasured, and once joyfully kissed every inch of her skin as he murmured, âJo, youâre mine.â
Standing on the highest floor of the revered skyscraper, Dexterâs body stiffened as he gazed. at his beloved woman. His accumulated emotions were about to erupt. âJo, I might have let you down. But how could you? How could you do this to me?â
Dexter noticed the kiss marks on Josieâs neck, while Josie witnessed Dexterâs red-rimmed.
âYour reputation, your fatherâs reputation, and the Russellsâ reputation⦠Do you not care about any of them anymore?!â
Josie knelt on the floor weakly, lifting her head to force her tears back. She knew someone. wanted to destroy her.
After the tears and pain, this incident had to be handled urgently, especially for the Russell Groupâs sake.
It was the twenty-first of the month, a day after Dexterâs twenty-seventh birthday.
At two in the afternoon, the Russell Group held a press conference, where Dexter appeared. alongside Josie to address the public.
Although his heart was already shattered into pieces, Dexter remained composed as always. No one knew he had shed tears a few hours ago.
The reporters presented the viral pictures of Josie and another man, whose appearance was pixelated, and bombarded the couple with harsh questions.
Dexter held Josieâs hand tightly with a hint of anger on his face. âMy wife and I have known. each other for years, with deep affection. She would never have an affair with another man. Letâs be real even if she indeed has an affair, she wouldnât allow the pictures to be exposed. No matter who the mastermind is, Iâll definitely not let the person off.â
Of course, Dexter had to pursue the matter. Everyone was criticizing Josie. The spectators gossiped about her explicit pictures and lack of shame while speculation about Dexterâs intention ran rampant.
There is nothing new under the sun, especially scandals in the upper circle. Most remained unrevealed, but Josieâs case, which was made known to the public, was unprecedented.
Facing countless cameras and non-stop flashing lights, Josie could imagine what was being spread across the Internet now. She couldnât collapse, yet she couldnât feel a tinge of warmth. from Dexterâs hand, which was tightly holding hers.
The media targeted Josie, demanding a statement from her.
Josie gripped Dexterâs hand and forced a presentable smile. âThe police have started their investigation. Once the truth is revealed, I donât mind sharing it with the public. Myâ¦â
She paused, wanting to say that her conscience was clear but couldnât bring herself to say so. âIâll deal the culprit a mighty blow.â
Dexter did not look at Josie but made a stern warning. âIâd like to urge everyone, including those who are watching this live stream, to stop spreading my wifeâs pictures and delete them. immediately. Iâll forcefully take them down if this continues.â
A few acknowledged Dexterâs unwavering support toward Josie, but they didnât know that after the press conference, Dexter instantly let go of Josieâs hand and instructed Moses to send her back to Mason Garden.
Then, he ordered the secretaryâs office to remove all pictures on the Internet and suspend the accounts which continued posting the pictures.
