Blind Date Turned Proposal Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Deadlock

Wavery had no shortage of wealthy young men and luxury cars. However, most cared about their family reputation, so few dared to use their authority as blatantly as Dexter did and sealed off the highway. He drove recklessly and way above the speed limit.

Josie’s face was pale. She keenly sensed the car’s dangerous speed and gripped the seatbelt tightly. clenching her teeth to prevent herself from shouting out loud.

The car finally stopped at Mason Garden. Josie fought back the urge to puke and gritted her teeth as she looked at him. Her eyes flashed with hatred. “Dexter, are you insane?”

Dexter was furious. He gripped her chin and tilted it. I usually don’t care about someone’s life, but unfortunately, you are my wife. We haven’t divorced. I don’t want to be made a widower while I’m still young. It’s bound to be humiliating

He spoke rapidly as if running away from something.

Josie looked into his eyes as if looking at a stranger. After a while, she raised her hand and slapped his face with all her might.

Dexter did not dodge. His head leaned slightly to the side from the force of her slap. Then, he looked back at her and licked his lips, looking alluring but dangerous. At the same time, he did not hesitate but opened the front passenger door and dragged her out of the car. The servants were already gathered outside the house to welcome them. Dexter pushed her to them in disdain.

“Keep a close watch on her.” He would not tolerate any disobedience.

Then, he returned to his car without hesitation or a backward glance and sped away, leaving a plume of dust in his wake.

After he left, Josie could no longer hold back her tears. She struggled free from the servant’s hold and crumpled to the floor, bursting into tears. Her image meant nothing to her at this point.

Dexter returned to Mason Garden the following few days and behaved as usual. However, he never took a step into their bedroom. Anyone could see that what happened between Dexter and Josie was more than just a quarrel this time.

It was past midnight, but Josie was still awake. She could not fall asleep.

Rain began to splatter outside. When Josie finally fell into a light sleep, the phone by her pillow suddenly buzzed and vibrated violently. It was incredibly frightening in the darkness.

Josie picked up the phone and saw that it was an unknown number.

Who would call me in the middle of the night?

Her finger hovered above the screen, unsure whether to accept the call. The call was like Pandora’s box. She had no idea what would happen if she were to answer it.

The phone vibrated for a while before stopping by itself.

Josie breathed a sigh of relief and put the phone away. However, it suddenly rang again. Her hand shook, and her heart pounded from fright.

The number kept calling her for nearly half an hour. Josie looked at the screen from afar. She was not sure

why she was wary about answering it. At the same time, the caller was persistent. The constant buzzing made her panic. Ultimately, she answered it and asked, “Who is it?”

Josie was afraid.

What scared her more was the silence on the other end. She could not hear any noise at all. Her voice trembled as she repeated the question, but there was still no response.

The caller hung up.

Dexter had indicated that she could return to work, but she must not even think of leaving Wavery.

After wallowing in misery in Mason Garden for a few days, Josie thought about her unfinished work and washed up before heading to Russell Group.

As expected, Laura did not come to work. Alice said she had family matters.

How could she have any matters? She’s only too afraid to face me.

However, Josie did not care. She could see from the present situation that Laura’s plagiarism scandal was still under wraps. It seemed the competition committee dealt with the matter well. No one knew that she colluded with Claire and caused such an incident.

Dexter had always been thorough in everything he did.
