Chapter 557 No One Move
“That’s the plan. I hope that my wife’s studio will make a name for itself nationwide within
six months and even beat the Russells,” said Dexter.
Ms. Warner’s eyes widened in astonishment as she witnessed the ambition radiating from
Dexter’s calm and composed demeanor. The audacity of his aspirations left her genuinely
shocked.
Even Josie, who initially resisted these ideas, had to reluctantly admit the efficiency of
Dexter’s plan. His strategic vision and determination made it clear that with his execution,
becoming an industry leader was only a matter of time.
Ms. Warner took a moment to comprehend Dexter’s intention. She felt flattered and
expressed her admiration, “After listening to your words today, I admire you greatly. Truly,
talented individuals are remarkable no matter where they are.”
Dexter heard her words, but his gaze remained on Josie. With a playful smile, he replied.
“Because my wife has excellent taste in man.”
Not waiting for Ms. Warner’s response, Dexter got straight to the point, “I know your team
has always wanted to expand in your field. The Russell Group can support you without any
financial obligations. The condition is that you must contribute to the success of my wife’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstudio.”
The temptation was immense. As a businessman, Dexter was willing to make a significant
investment for the sake of his beloved. He knew he was sacrificing potential profits for
love.
Ms. Warner nodded enthusiastically, moved by Dexter’s sincerity. She replied, “Mr. Russell,
your sincerity is undeniable, and I have no reason to refuse. Rest assured. I will make the
necessary arrangements immediately.”
After a brief pause, Ms. Warner turned her attention to Josie, who had remained silent
throughout the discussion. She added, “However… we will need Mrs. Russell to provide us
with the studio’s information. This will help us understand the direction in which to operate
effectively.”
Dexter could make all the other decisions, but Josie had the final say in sharing the
studio’s information.
At that moment, Josie finally lifted her head and gazed at Dexter with a hint of provocation
as if to say, “You talk so much-why don’t you say it?”
Dexter remained unfazed by Josie’s provocative gaze; instead, he smiled faintly. He liked it
when she acted vivid and lively.
Josie stood up and disregarded all the plans Dexter had meticulously prepared. She
asserted, “This studio belongs to Laura and me. Without our authorization, no one can
interfere with it.”
After making her statement, Josie didn’t even glance to see Dexter’s reaction when she
walked out of the
room.
Ms. Warner stood frozen in place, feeling somewhat awkward and unsure of how to
proceed.
Remaining composed, Dexter rose from his seat and calmly said, “Carry on with the plans.
I will send you the necessary details later.”
With that, Dexter left the lounge, leaving Ms. Warner to contemplate the unexpected turn
of events. Confident in his determination, Dexter believed that Josie would ultimately
come to an agreement.
Josie walked quickly, but she knew no matter where she went, Dexter was certain to catch
up, aided by the convenience of having a car at his disposal.
As Dexter trailed behind, two bicycles passed by on the roadside, Riding their bikes was a
group of high school students still dressed in their uniforms, making their way to school.

The boy slowed down and held an umbrella to shield the girl beside him from the sun.
The sound of their laughter filled the air, carrying a sense of carefree innocence and
freedom from
worries.
Josie watched their figures gradually fade into the distance, and a sudden rush of
memories from long ago flooded her mind.
She averted her gaze and turned back, her voice firm, I don’t need you to worry about my
affairs.
Dexter chuckled softly, “Ever since you became a hot topic, your information has been
widely exposed. People know you’re a talented designer and that you’ve even won the
Interior Design Award. Soon, there will be those who try to flatter you because of me.
Instead of waiting for them to approach you, I’d rather take charge of the situation
myself.”
Despite his injuries, Dexter stood tall, exuding confidence and pride.
Josic listened attentively, her brows slightly furrowed.
He reached for a cigarette, tapped the box, and pulled one out, but after a moment of
consideration, he decided against lighting it and placed it back in place.
