“But Eileen is different. I can understand her feelings. It’s me who caused her misfortune, so she
wanted to put me in deep water. It’s the consequence of our doings. We should bear it.” Josie remained
calm. Even in this state, she could objectively analyze the situation, showing that her rationality was still
intact. However, looking at Dexter’s response, she knew he wouldn’t easily let Laxir Corporation or
Eileen off.
Dexter’s face was as cold as ice. He glanced at Josie with murderous intentions in his eyes
“It’s easy for you to say. Do you know how easily Norman can put someone to death? If it weren’t for
me, you would’ve died in the desolate wilderness, where I wouldn’t have known. There are a lot of
ways one can die; some can be brutal. Don’t you fear pain the most? Why aren’t you afraid now?”
Josie was taken aback by the unexpected question. Her body was still trembling and she appeared

If he didn’t ask her to attend the auction, this incident wouldn’t have happened. Dexter was regretful,
thinking Josie was involved in more danger by staying beside him.
Josie had complicated emotions. The current Dexter was different from his usual cold self. It was as if
his coldness had shattered.
Josie soon regained her composure in Dexter’s embrace and calmed down.

It was rare for Josie to experience such an intense cramp to the extent that she couldn’t fall asleep.
After taking a shower, Josie decided to rest in the smaller room.
Just as she was about to exit the room, she bumped into Dexter, who was returning from the study
room. “Where are you going?”
Josie lowered her head awkwardly with her cheeks flushed.
Dexter stared at her and thought of something. “Wait here.” He said and walked away.
