Chapter 938


    Betrayal.


    Josie tensed up. She had already realized that the man inside was Calvin.


    Moses quietly exined to her, “After Mr. Barrett received your call, he acted immediately. He rescued


    Mallory before she could be captured by Arnold’s men.”


    Oh, I understand now.


    Mallory took a deep breath, adopting a yful tone, “Who knows? Maybe I grew tired of ying around


    and longed for a more exciting life.”


    This statement was clearly provocative. Calvin nced at her. “Say it again.”


    “I said maybe over time, I got tired of ying…” Mallory’s words were interrupted as Calvin pointed the


    knife he had used to peel the apple directly at her neck. “Think carefully before answering me.”


    Mallory looked at him. This man was usually carefree and unconventional, but when he became


    serious, his presence was overwhelming.


    Tears welled up in her eyes as she faced the knife. “Thank you for saving me. It wasn’t in vain that I


    didn’t reveal the secrets of Heaven on Earth during Arnold’s interrogation. Calvin, we broke up two


    months ago. Why are you asking me these questions?” she asked with augh.


    “Yes, it has been two months.” Calvin put the knife away, ying with it in his hand. “I’ve long


    forgotten.”


    “I heard you have a new woman by your side who is quite beautiful.”


    “I’ve never had a shortage of women around me.”


    “Yes, even when I was with you, women always flocked to you. But you never crossed the line. I


    appreciate that.”


    Her words sounded more like a farewell.


    Calvin stopped listening, took a bite of the apple, and stood up. “We’re even now.”


    After saying that, he opened the door and left, identally bumping into Josie.


    Josie looked embarrassed as she stepped aside. “I-I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”


    Calvin’s expression darkened. He didn’t pursue it further and walked away. He still appeared


    unrestrained, but upon closer inspection, a hint of loneliness lingered.


    After seeing him leave, Josie quickly entered the hospital room. She looked quite shocked. “What’s


    going on? You’ve broken up!”


    Mallory had a wound on her forehead, covered with gauze. She yed with her fingers. “I cheated on


    him.”


    Josie was stunned before bursting intoughter. “That’s quite amusing, but I don’t believe it.”


    Malloryughed along. “It’s true. Sorry I didn’t tell you immediately.”


    Josie didn’t understand why, but she also knew that there were some things she shouldn’t pry into.


    “When I called him that day, I thought he wouldn’t take action, but he still came to save you. It means


    he still has feelings for you. Why not give it another try?”


    “I’ve been with him since I was eighteen. It’s been five years.” Mallory looked up. “From the beginning, I


    knew we had no future. He would eventually find out that I approached him with a purpose.”


    Josie was speechless. After a while, she told Mallory what had happened in thest two days and


    expressed her gratitude.


    “Josie.” Mallory suddenly suggested, “Your path isn’t blocked. You should try your luck. At least let


    Dexter know the truth. If he knows, maybe—”


    “Maybe what? He won’t get married?” Josie sighed. “He has signed a cooperation agreement with the


    Olsen family. Mark won’t let him off easily. I know he has no choice.”


    “Are you just going to stand by and watch?”

    Josie’s gaze became evasive, and she didn’t answer.


    After spending some time with Mallory, Josie went to the restroom. Moses still followed her. She


    couldn’t bear it anymore, “Do you have to follow me into the women’s restroom?”


    “Ms. Jo, you have too many ways to escape. I have to be cautious.”
