Chapter 1028


    Risking it all, she uttered those words.


    Isaac was so overwhelmed by her presence that he almost took two steps back. He clutched his chest


    and gasped for breath, relying on someone to support him in order to remain steady.

    No one had anticipated that Josie would actually go through with such a daring act.


    What was even more surprising was that she had helped Dexter.


    Even Larry was breaking out in a cold sweat. Josie’s aura was incredibly powerful, exuding both


    coolness and beauty, showing no fear towards anyone.


    Looking at Dexter again, he stood under the sunlight, radiating an endless brightness. However, his


    complexion was terrifyingly gloomy. He didn’t show the slightest hint of gratitude for Josie’s assistance,


    as if it meant nothing to him.


    After Josie hadpleted everything, she finally met his gaze.


    She almost let out a sigh of relief. It was then certain that Dexter would seed as the CEO of Russell


    Group.


    “Does anyone else have any objections?”


    Everyone remained silent, and without any agreement, they all left dejectedly. In the end, only Larry


    remained. Thoughtfully, he closed the door behind them.


    In the conference room, only two people remained.


    Josie approached Dexter steadily, extending her hand towards him. “Congrattions,” she said.


    The man’s lips were somewhat dry, moving up and down as he asked, “Should I be happy?”


    “Why shouldn’t you be? No matter how terrible Russell Group might be, it’s still yours. I’ve held it


    together for you.”


    Dexter’s gaze lingered on her face, unable to look away, filled with immense affection.


    Seeing him remain silent, Josie had no choice but to continue speaking on her own. “Before my


    grandfather passed away, he told me to take good care of you. Naturally, I can’t let you give up on


    yourself.”


    He still remained silent.


    “Don’t disappoint me. Those shares are very valuable. It’s already generous of me not to ask you for


    money, so make sure you manage Russell Group well,” she said.


    No matter how one heard it, it sounded like a farewell.


    For some reason, Dexter was almost out of breath, his breathing bing slow.


    He knew that, at that point, it was time to say goodbye. Otherwise, Josie would not have acted that


    way.


    “Don’t leave, alright? If it were the Liana of the past, she wouldn’t have had the heart to leave me.” His


    voice was hoarse. It was as if he had exhausted all his strength to speak.


    Josie lowered her eyes, trying to ignore the bitterness that welled up from the depths of her heart.


    Her tone was light and breezy when she said, “Indeed, the old Liana was reluctant to let go, but you’ve


    forgotten that I’ve spent most of my life as Josie. She has already overshadowed the traces of Liana.


    And as Josie, I have reached the day where I am ready to let go.”


    Dexter closed his eyes. She is Liana, but even more so, she is Josie.


    She took hisrge hand, casually ying with it as if it were their most intimate moment.


    Josie’s voice was soft when she said, “In truth, these things were always yours. I’ve merely returned


    them to you, including the favor you did for me at our wedding. Now, I’ve repaid you. We owe each


    other nothing.”


    Those words were the harshest words she could have said to him.


    Dexter was trembling, unable to hold back. He swiftly grabbed her fingers, repeating, “Don’t go. Without


    you, I am not aplete Dexter. As Liana, you’ve left me once, and as Josie, you cannot leave me


    again.”


    He had been saved twice in his lifetime.


    Once, on a rainy day during their childhood, she jumped down from the car, clutching her doll, and


    stood before him, reaching out her hand towards him.


    Another time, on a bright sunny day when they were older, he proposed to her in a cafe, a bold request.


    She was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and agreed.


    That smile was etched into Dexter’s life just like that.


    Josie’s eyes were tinged with a hint of red as she gently let go of his hand. “Take good care of


    yourself.”


    With that, she strode out of the conference room, not pausing or looking back.


    She couldn’t see, but the man standing in ce seemed as if his world had crumbled. He swayed,


    needing to lean on the table for support. Unable to control his trembling, his tears fell heavily onto the


    table.


    Evidently, when the world seemed like it was crumbling, even the toughest men would cry.
