Chapter 158 She Loved Dexter
Dexter replied with a hint of sarcasm, “Something like that.”
Josie was stunned into silence.
Arnold loved Summer Olsen, and the whole world knew about it. Summer was the second daughter of
the Olsen family. She had a prestigious background, was beautiful, and was friendly. She was highly
respected in upper-class social circles.
The Carter and Olsen families lived near each other. Since Arnold was a teenager, he openly
expressed his feelings for Summer. However, Summer pretended not to notice and remained only as
his friend.
Dexter was not much older than them. Thus, he could sense something. For example, Summer applied
to study at the university he graduated from. She also devised ways to enter Russell Group for an
internship and work as his assistant. Moreover, he noticed the overflowing admiration in her eyes.
However, he could only feign ignorance.

the whole night expressing her love for him. She was devious and threatened. Dexter. “Dex, marrying
me is the best solution. I have the looks, capability, and prominent family background, making me the
most suitable woman for you. Moreover, you won’t be able to find a woman who loves you as much as I
do. If you refuse me, reporters will gather outside this door when it opens tomorrow morning.”
Dexter sat on the couch all night and looked at the sky through the window. “Is it worth. throwing away
your reputation like this?”
“Yes!” Tears flowed from her beautiful eyes. “All these years, I rejected countless men who pursued
me, including Arnold, for your sake. Others might not understand why, but you do, right? Did you not
notice anything?”
Dexter raised his eyebrows and felt frustrated. “You have the right to express your feelings, but I have
the right to reject you. I see you as my younger sister and nothing more. You can ask me for anything
except romantic love.”
Summer seemed on the verge of collapse and screamed hysterically, “Dex! But I love you. I loved you
for so many years!”
Dexter stopped responding.
However, Russell Group bought and destroyed every one of those photos. Shortly after Dexter freed
himself of Summer, his assistant received another piece of news.
Summer attempted suicide.
Ivy received the news while Dexter was taking a nap in the backseat. Dexter had worked through the
night to deal with work matters for days. He was exhausted.
Ivy hesitated briefly before stuttering out the news.
Dexter remained silent for a long time. Ivy peeked at him through the rearview mirror and saw him
suddenly opening his eyes like a ferocious beast woken from its slumber.
He rubbed his temple and said, “I’ll pay her a visit.”
Summer slit her wrist, leading to severe blood loss that left her life hanging on a thread. She did this all
to catch another glimpse of the man without regard for her.

Still, her gamble worked. Dexter came to see her.
He glanced at her bandaged wrist and tapped it lightly before looking into her eyes. “The worst thing a
woman can do is to degrade herself.”
Summer always made sure to dress up beautifully to see him. However, her lips were deathly pale this
time, and she looked on the verge of dying. Yet, this look prompted Dexter to spare her a few more
glances.
She wanted to laugh. “Dex, I cannot see you unless I degrade myself.”
Her eyes were red and swollen. It seemed she had cried recently. “Dex, do you really not want me?”
Her voice sounded charming even in her despair. Even Ivy could not help but pity her.
Meanwhile, Dexter sat in a chair and crossed his legs, looking at her kindly.
“Sum, you can name your condition. I won’t refuse.”
Naturally, he meant material things. Summer’s tears fell onto her pillow. She knew how generous
Dexter was with such things. The last girl who pestered him asked for a limitless black credit card,
which he gave her without batting an eyelid. All he cared about was that she stayed away from him.
