Chapter 951
Josie’s eyes sparkled mischievously as she half-smiled. “I’m not upset,” she said, ncing at the
clothes. “Do you know who’s really upset?”
Dexter remained surprisingly calm. “You used to be quite simr to her.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Josie became anxious. “Don’tpare me to her. It’s bad luck.”
He chuckled softly, gently lifting her chin. “I once said she doesn’t think as much as you do, and that
still holds true.”
Josie brushed his hand aside and sat down to have breakfast. “Scott wants me to go to the police
station to give a new statement.”
“He didn’t inform me.”
“Why should he? I am the primary person involved, after all.”
“I’ll ask Moses to apany you.”
Josie epted without protest. She didn’t turn around, nor did she notice the gaze Dexter fixed upon
her. She simply left promptly.
Upon arriving at Russell Group, Larry approached and reported, “Matthew has booked the earliest flight
to Japrium.”
Dexter raised an eyebrow.
“Someone is already taking care of it,” Larry continued. “And someone is keeping an eye on Ms. Olsen.
After you leftst night, she had an argument with udia.”
“For what reason?”
“It seems to be about a dog,” Larry recalled. “Ms. Olsen is afraid of dogs, and there happens to be one
in Olsen Residence. She wanted someone to remove it, but udia stopped her.”
Ah, so that’s the cause.
The servant didn’t dare make a decision on his own, so he sent for udia. She hurried over and
found Heather clutching an iron rod. Tearfully, she said, “Mother, I’m really scared of dogs now. Please
take it away. It barks every day, and I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown.”
The servant responsible for the chili nts found it hard to believe. Given the vastness of Olsen
Residence, Heather’s room was far from there. How could she possibly hear a dog barking?

udia’s gentle face also appeared somewhat gloomy. “Leanne, has something been bothering you?”
“No, it’s not… I hate it. Mother, I really hate it!”
udia patted her on the back. After a moment, she said, “I’ll take care of it tomorrow.”
“Mother! Do you love me?” Heather’s anxiety and anger intensified. “I want you to deal with it now. I
want it dead!”
The sudden outburst of these words shocked udia. She had been practicing asceticism for many
years, never taking a life. Upon hearing this, she tightly gripped Heather’s wrist. “Calm down!”
Heather cried until she waspletely drained.
“Is the dog’s name Pepper?” Dexter seemed to recall something as his brows furrowed deeply.
“Yes.”
Doubts began to arise within him, so hemanded, “Keep an eye on udia. We must save that dog
at all costs.”
“Yes, but udia is religious. She probably wouldn’t kill…”
“No matter how she handles it, this dog must stay in Wavery!” Dexter interrupted.
Larry immediately went to take care of it.
Under the autumn sun by the floor-to-ceiling window, Dexter’s expression appearedplex. After a
while, he suddenly asked, “Larry, do you believe in fate?”
“Fate…” Larry hesitated before responding, “I only believe in human effort.”
“Everything depends on human effort,” Dexter pondered over these words, then asked crisply, “Has
Josie left yet?”
…
“Moses, your driving skills have improved tremendously,” Josie said from the passenger seat, holding a
bottle of drink. “When I first met you, you weren’t as steady as you are now.”
Moses found it hard to sit still. “Josie… just say what you want to tell me.”
With a smile, Josie suddenly unbuckled her seatbelt and sshed the drink in her hand directly into
Moses’ eyes. The drink was spiked with chili powder, causing such a stinging pain that Moses couldn’t
open his eyes.
“Holy crap!”
“My apologies.” Taking advantage of his momentary loss of control, Josie quickly reached out to spin
the steering wheel and hit the brakes. She then jumped out of the car and swiftly got into another one
that had been waiting by the roadside for a while, and sped away.
