NovelEnglishBlind Date Turned Proposal (Josie and Dexter)
Chapter 1044 Meeting The ChildHe called her over and introduced, "This is Mr. Peeple, the investor of Stardust. If you join Stardust, you will inevitably interact with him frequently. Please greet him." Helena gestured towards Larry and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Peeple." Larry nodded. "You're very beautiful. Once the news gets out, it will certainly create a huge wave of excitement." Recalling the recent argument among the young men, Helena gave a bitter smile and said, "They must be cursingfervently." Mallory chuckled. "If you want to step onto the stage, there's bound to be malice. It's best to just bear with it." Larry pulled out an invitation and said, "This is from the boss of Stardust. On the day of your performance, | will be there to watch your competition." Helena was quite grateful. "Thank you, Mr. Peeple. I've heard about the mysterious financial backer of Stardust for a long time, but | didn't expect you to be so pleasant to deal with." However, it was out of respect for Mallory.
Larry stood with his hands behind his back. "Actually, I'm not the initial investor in this project..." Halfway through his speech, he glanced in the direction where Mallory had been looking earlier. The figure by the window had already disappeared. He sighed almost inaudibly. "Forget about it. It's nothing." Mallory listened to their conversation when suddenly, a small figure appeared in her peripheral vision. She focused her gaze and saw Grape sitting on the doorstep. Her chubby face was a mix of fear and anxiety as she looked at them, unsure whether she should enter or not.
"Where did this child cfrom?" Mallory rose to her feet.

Upon seeing the strangers, Grape said in a soft voice, "I want to be with you, Hellie. | don't want to be with the boys." For a moment, Helena didn't know what to say. Faced with Mallory's questioning, she was at a loss for a response. "This... Actually, | also don't know whose child this is..." Helena had only met Josie once, so she didn't even know Josie's name.
Mallory, impatient, slapped her forehead. "Tell the hotel to help find the child's parents." However, when she looked closely, she felt a sense of familiarity with the child. "Those large, sparkling eyes look like someone..." Larry seemed to also find sresemblance. He exchanged a glance with her, and in the end, shook his head, implying that it was impossible.
"Mr. Peeple." At that moment, a deep male voice resonated. Grape turned towards the source of the sound, only to see a tall, aloof man standing at the doorway. His gaze was intense, and the way his eyes fell upon her was dangerously captivating.
Yet, there was an inexplicable allure.
Grape couldn't take her eyes off him. He was truly handsome. She had never seen a man as attractive as him before.
Helena was also taken aback. She hadn't expected to encounter such a character there.
Larry quickly turned around. "Mr. Russell, she's a lost child. I'll have someone handle it immediately." It was Dexter.

He furrowed his brows slightly, a harbinger of his displeasure.
Mallory didn't dare to linger for even a second. She pushed Helena, urging, "Let's go quickly." Just as Helena was about to take a step, she heard that dangerous voice say, "Since she's lost, let's keep her for now." Helena found herself caught between a rock and a hard place.
Five minutes later, she found Michael's contact information. She sent him numerous messages, asking him to cand take Grape away.
Despite this, it seemed he hadn't looked at his phone at all, and there was no response.
Little did she know that the teenagers had just realized the child was missing and were nearly driven to madness with worry.
