Chapter 366 May I Speak With You for a Moment
Josie halted her steps. Wyatt stood up from his seat, surprised to see Josie. He was about to greet her but hesitated as Summer was around.
“Take a seat,” he spoke indifferently. “Summer, you can continue.”
Summer placed the files on the table and explained, “A foreign company has decided to buy all your stock. While they are in the process of doing so, I recommend that your team develop a policy for your shares. You could prioritize your trusted aides with your dividends. If you are unable to prevent your company from being taken over, you could also bring your opponent down by repaying your outstanding debt early. This would create a financial crisis for the company that is trying to take over yours.”
Wyatt didn’t say a word, clearly deep in thought, as he mulled over what Summer said.

stood lost in thought, her gaze drifting over the plants on the windowsill,
Summer continued, “There is another option. You could try to find out who is behind this and find a supporter to buy your company’s shares. They could then go against your opponent and artificially inflate the price of the company. This would not only help your company, and…”
Wyatt interjected, “Summer, if we follow this plan, our company could go bankrupt before we have a chance to defeat our opponent.”
Summer tilted her head.
“I could ask my father to support you, but even with his resources, we may not be able to defeat them without outside help. It will take time to find out who is behind this.“
Summer nodded. “Your concern is understandable. I will do my best to help you overcome this. I need a little more time to think it over.”
“Thank you, Summer. The information you brought me today was very useful.”
Summer chuckled. “You’re like a brother to me. I don’t need thanks for helping the family.”
Wyatt’s shifty eyes and restless posture were evidence enough of the awkward position he was placed under.
She turned to leave but paused beside Josie with a smile. “Ms. Warren, may I speak with you for a moment?”
Josie took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and nodded at Wyatt.
“I wasn’t sure what you like, so I got both of us Americano.” Summer passed her a cup of warm coffee from the cafe downstairs. Her slender fingers were adorned with beautiful nail art.
Josie glanced at her bare fingers. She couldn’t have any nail art, as she needed to work on designs.
“Thank you”
“I didn’t add any sugar” she said. “I assumed you and Dexter have similar tastes, so I ordered his usual.” Summer’s black hair framed her face as she smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, accentuating her

classically beautiful appearance.
“I like it very much. Josie said with a warm smile. She bent her head to take a sip of her coffee, and Summer noticed the bruises on her neck. She froze, her heart pounding.
I’m glad you like it. While I was away, you took care of Dexter. In the future, if you want anything. I’ll do my best to give it to you. She spoke with a resolute voice and took Josie’s hand. “After the incident at the factory, I knew you were a good person.
Josie didn’t return her smile and slowly pulled her hands away. “I believe you’d be safe no matter what happens, with your great luck and Dexter’s protection. It had nothing to do with me.”
Summer remained collected despite Josie’s hostility. She spoke with an innocent air, “But you were hurt. I hope it didn’t affect you too much.”
Josie stared at her, a shiver running down her spine. She was no ordinary woman if this woman could control Arnold for all these years.
“Don’t worry: I mean you no harm, even though you are Dexter’s wife.” Summer took a sip of her coffee and leaned back in her chair. Her eyes were unwavering as she continued, “I know you won’t be wearing that title for much longer.”
Josie couldn’t help but scoff at her confidence. “How can you be so sure of yourself?”
