Chapter 1049
“Yes,” Larry said, “The Golden Key Awardspetition has already been fullyunched. Would you
like to monitor the entire process?”
When it came to news about the construction industry, Dexter never missed a thing.
He nodded in acknowledgment. “Let me take a look at the list.”

There were too many people involved, from judges to contestants. Going through each one of them
individually would be time-consuming andborious, so Larry was hesitant. “The doctor has advised
you to rest for at least ten hours a day. You shouldn’t be engaging in mentally and physically draining
activities.”
Upon hearing this, Dexter sneered from the shadows. “You really think I’m useless, huh?”
Larry immediately bowed apologetically. “That’s not what I meant. I’m just concerned about your health,
which hasn’t improved since the car ident two years ago.”
Speaking of this, a hint of sadness shed across Dexter’s face.
Two years ago, on a rainy night, Josie’s ne took off. Dexter was speeding along the Second
Highway in his car. Countless nes were taking off andnding overhead, but he had no way of
knowing which one was hers. He drove dozens of kilometers just to see her off.
Thest thing he could do for her was to set her free.
As dawn broke, Josie’s flight had already departed from Wavery. On his way back, Dexter suddenly felt
a self-destructive resolve.
He let go of the steering wheel and closed his eyes.
The car crashed directly into the treewn.
The severity of that ident wounded his heart and left him confined to a hospital bed for nearly half a
year, almost devoid of any vitality.
After Josie left, he felt like a fish removed from water, unable to survive any longer.
By the time he realized that he loved and needed her far more than he had ever imagined, it was
already toote.
Dexter spent countless nights regretting not keeping her by his side.
Yet he would ponder, perhaps if given another chance, he would still let her go, as long as she could be
happy.
When he snapped out of his series of shbacks, Larry had already obtained the list. There were a
total of ten judges and hundreds of contestants, each with a distinct countenance.
Dexter’s gaze was immediately drawn to a woman. Her face was unfamiliar to him, yet he felt an
inexplicable sense of familiarity.
“Who is this?” he asked, pointing at an avatar named Alice.
Larry nced at it and recited smoothly, “This is a very young rising star in the industry. She is in her
early twenties and is very talented. She’s Clusian, but the person in this picture… I don’t recognize
her.”
The words that followed were spoken with utmost caution.
After all, it wasn’t Josie’s face. To support his im, Larry hastily added, “There are many Clusians
among the judges, and this one named Lily is one of them.”
The age indicated that she was already in her thirties.
Dexter closed his eyes upon hearing that. He had experienced this feeling of disappointment far too
many times.
Larry studied his expression. “Was it necessary to be present at the scene when the selection process
began? Russell Group has invested in thispetition, and the other partners are all in Sumanthova,
so there was bound to be some ovep.”
“We’ll see.”
After ying all day, Grape quickly fell asleep.
Engrossed in the documents on herputer, Josie turned to L and asked, “Are we returning to
the country tomorrow?”
L, dressed in a white sweater, calmly replied, “After the team clinched the championship, there
are numerous matters that need to be dealt with. We’ll be swamped for a while, so we really can’t stay
in Sumanthova for long.”
Josie remarked that it was a good thing.
L looked at her and added, “However, there’s still time to take you to the venue. The flight is in
the afternoon, so I can help take care of the child for half a day.”
Josie couldn’t help but exim, “Aren’t you considerate?” This was crucial for a mother with a child.
“You’re not just a capitalist, L. You’re a lifesaver!”
