Holding a pen, Dexterâs hand paused briefly before he continued signing a document while exerting more force. âContact Moses and get him to shadow her. Heâll be responsible if anything goes wrongâ
Larry sighed inwardly. âYes, sir.â
Dexter attempted to detach all subsidiary companies in the stock market under the Russell Group so that they wouldnât be affected. Even if foreign investors stepped in, they wouldnât gain much. He had prepared for the worst. This wasnât his typical style. However, at this critical juncture, no one else would be able to handle things as he did.
Laura was overworked recently and ended up being hospitalized. That day, Josie went to visit her.
The two ladies tacitly remained in an unspoken silence, giving each other a safe space.
It was late at night. Finally, Laura couldnât hold back any longer. âHow has Dexter been to you?
After the incident, besides the initial anger and disappointment, he had been pretty good toward Josie.
Josie fell silent for quite a while before squeezing a stiff smile. âIâm going to divorce him.â
Lauraâs eyes widened in shock, âHave you signed the agreement?â
The answer was no. Josie initiated the divorce, but Dexter hadnât replied to that particular message after so many days or mentioned the divorce at all.
Little did she know Dexter had indeed received her message promptly, and he smashed his phone upon. reading it.
At that time, he was in a meeting. The top executives witnessed him losing his cool. After smashing his phone, he smirked. âDivorce? Donât even think about it!â
Around the same time, the Carter Group revealed a statement of change in equity, proving that aside.
from the four hundred billion monetary funds, they had pre-initial public offering stocks valued at three hundred billion. Combined, they had over seven hundred billion to acquire the Russell Groupâs shares.
A companyâs total assets are equal to the sum of its liabilities and its shareholdersâ equity â this equation always holds true.
The Carter Group was listed on the United States stock inarket and was equally a financially strong conglomerate. As the Carter Group and the Russell Group went head-to-head, one party would inevitably be damaged. In the past few days, the Carter Group had undoubtedly garnered support from the majority of market players as the latter continued increasing their stock holdings. In the next two trading days, the Carter Groupâs stock price reached its limit-up. Some analysts alleged that Arnold was making a strong comeback and was almost successful.
The cranberry plants in the hospitalâs garden bore plenty of fruit. Early in the morning, dew formed on -
the fruits. Standing on her tiptoes, Josie plucked a cranberry and tasted it. It was so sour that she spit it out. .
When she lifted her eyes again, she was startled to see a man standing beside a car not far away. His features were distinct, and his expression was cold. He had been staring fixedly at Josie, yet Josie couldnât read his mind.
After quite a while, he approached Josie and embraced her. âCome home with me.â
His voice was hoarse, probably because he had been having numerous meetings.
Josie attempted to push him away. âDid you receive my message?â
âNo.â He answered instantly, tightening his grip on Josie.
Josie closed her eyes. âHowâs Russell Group?â
âDonât worry about it.â
A prolonged silence followed. Josie stared blankly into the distance. She allowed Dexter to hold him for a long time before saying, âDexter, letâs get a divorce.â
The man was stirred up at once. Towering over her, he seized her shoulders. His eyes became bloodshot, filled with anger. âWhy?â
Thinking Josie was worried that the incident would affect their relationship, he hurriedly explained, âDonât concern yourself with those matters. Iâm not concerned, either. Iâll talk to my family, and I can also handle the public, Or are you worried about the impact on the company.
Josie interrupted him. âDo you think Iâve slept with him? Do you trust me?â
