Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1151

“Don't bother even if the king of the world arrives.” Dr. Larson's expression was grave. “There are so many things in the world, can you really deal with them all? I told you two years ago that your body needs rest. You need to rest and stop overthinking. Only then can your health improve.”

Dexter felt somewhat helpless. “Won't I be reduced to a useless person?”

“Ah, yes, just be a useless person. Listen to me. Focus on recuperating for two years. After that, whatever you choose to do, I won't interfere.”

Subconsciously, Josie shifted her steps. She knew Dexter's health wasn't the best, but she didn't know it had worsened to that state. How could this have happened?

It seemed as if Dexter hadn't heard. He said to the staff, “It's fine. Go on.”

“Charles was investigated. You should already be aware of this, Mr. Russell. It implicated many people, including Preston Kaufman, who was the general manager at Russell Group. Do you remember? He was Charles' trusted aide and was also affected. Consequently, many projects came to a halt.”

When Dexter was deep in thought, he had a habit of rubbing his fingertips. He nodded. “This man can withstand scrutiny.”

“Enduring is one thing, but if someone with ill intentions deliberately stirs up trouble, it's a different story.”

“We came to Rivodia primarily to implore you to take action. It is crucial that we protect Preston. You personally promoted him within Russell Group. Over the past couple of years, he has handled numerous critical affairs. We simply cannot afford any mishaps.”

A slight change would affect everything else, even implicating Russell Group's fundamentals.

Dexter lightly tapped his fingertips. “I'll handle it.”

“Also...” The staff hesitated, glancing sideways to indicate. “If someone with ulterior motives knew Ms. Warren was with you, I'm afraid they might make a big fuss about it.”

As those words were spoken, Dexter looked up. “Josie—”

Josie's heart fluttered, thinking he was calling her over. Just as she was about to step forward, she heard him say. “She must stay with me.”

From a distance, he gazed at her with an intense look in his eyes.

Josie was somewhat stunned, standing still in her spot.

Dexter leaned forward slightly. “What's the matter? Are you going to meddle in my personal affairs too?”
