NovelEnglish"Mr. Russell, Mr. Kaufman tried to reach you earlier but couldn't get through. He calledinstead and askedto tell you to return his call as soon as possible." Larry, who was driving in the front seat, cautiously began to speak.
Dexter lowered the car window halfway, deep in thought. “Preston Kaufman?” "Yes. Perhaps there's something urgent with Russell Group." The neon lights cast an elusive glow on the man's face, making his expression unreadable. He didn't seem to be listening; instead, his gaze was fixed on the boy who had been silent the entire tin the passenger seat.
From the moment Paul was sent to the Olsen Residence up until now, he had not uttered a single word.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Justin." He did not respond. Larry quickly nudged him with his foot, giving him frantic glances. It was only then that Justin seemed to cback to his senses "Hmm?" "Do you blme?" Justin remained silent, implicitly admitting it.
"You blme for taking the liberty to discuss with the Olsen family and send your father there. Although the environment where he recuperated was quite good, and you couldn't find a better option, you still feel unhappy, don't you?" Dexter revealed Justin's melancholy.
Justin took a deep breath, summoning the courage to meet the gaze of the man reflected in the rearview mirror.
"Heh, so what if he's my father? The choice is in your hands. I'm just not capable enough to make decisions." He let out a self- deprecating chuckle. "I don't blJosie. She doesn't have a choice too. We're all pathetic." "It's my fault, then," Dexter responded quickly, his tone icy and detached.
Justin turned his head away.
His deep, black eyes appeared to comprehend the world in a manner that intimidated others from directly encountering his stare.
e After a long silence, he said, "I've been a rebel since I was a kid, which is why my dad always favored Josie over me. After his car accident, our family was strapped for cash. It's funny, but I was ready to give up then. But Josie persevered, working three jobs all by herself. I wanted to help, to contribute, but with no education, all I could resort to was gambling. In the end, I got hooked, and it was Josie who risked everything to save me." Looking back on the past, Justin gave a bitter smile.
"I've never really done anything worthwhile, so I suppose I deserve to end up where I am now." After he spoke, there was a brief silence in the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Actually, I admire you a lot," Dexter said, his voice unexpectedly soft as he spoke these words out of the blue.
Justin hadn't expected him to say such a thing.
"When Josie was devising her revenge plan, everything wouldn't have gone as smoothly without your involvement. Both she and I are deeply grateful to you. Rivodia is Mr. Dalton's territory. You said you'd go and you did for two long years. The hardships and trials you faced there were beyond the imagination of most. Throughout this time, Moses never heard a word of complaint or grievance from you. As a son, you've truly embodied filial piety. As a man, you've shouldered the weight of responsibility." The vehicle glided effortlessly under the glow of the streetlights. Dexter's voice resonated with a gentle and unhurried rhythm. Even Josie had never said such words to him.
Justin pressed his lips together.
"Don't underestimate yourself. You deserve eighty percent of the credit for my smooth discovery of Paul." Even Larry found himself compelled to pay attention to these words. Undeniably, it was a significant accolade. "Actually, I didn't—" "Just keep following me. You've experienced Moses' art of persuasion, and by following me, you've effectively joined Russell Group's ranks. It's inclusive of extensive insurance benefits." The sudden jest from Dexter caught Justin off guard, prompting him to break into a slight smile.
Over the past few days, he had been staying at Dexter's place, which 1.n allowed him to experience firsthand the way things were run there. Coupled with his connections to Grape, Josie, and even Paul, he didn't have a better option. "You can be my boss, but I'm still deciding if you're good enough to be my brother-in-law," Justin stated provocatively. Dexter lazily flashed a smile. "Sure." mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
