Chapter 899 Henry Is Near Death


    By saying such words, Heather was essentially giving Dexter permission to be with two women at the


    same time.


    Dexter frowned, for he had never imagined that her obsession with him was so great.


    “Leanne-”


    “I’m tired and would like to rest, Dex. You should go out first.” Heather managed to force a smile even


    uglier than if she had cried.


    Outside the ward, udia waited anxiously. When she saw the maning out, she hurriedly asked,


    “How is Leanne?”


    Dexter massaged his temples. “She’s asleep. I should get going now, Ms. Hadey.”


    udia seemed to have aged overnight. She nodded and said, “Please don’t take it to heart, Dexter.


    We’ll make things up to Leanne and give her the love that had been missing these years together,


    okay?”


    Since Heather attempted suicide, she was truly scared.

    In the face of her plea, Dexter’s brows furrowed deeper. He wanted to say something, but in the end,


    he -chose to remain silent.


    By the time he left the hospital, Larry had been waiting for a long time. “Morgan picked Ms. Warren up.”


    he said.


    Dexter closed his eyes in rest, having expected as much.


    She must have been disappointed that I didn’te home, so it’s probably for the best that she left. In


    the time toe, there will inevitably be many more things that will disappoint her.


    At theck of a response, Larry couldn’t help but say, “Perhaps she’ll understand if you exin things


    now.”


    Dexter didn’t reply to that. After he had closed his eyes for a moment, his personal phone rang. The


    caller ID indicated that it was Marilyn. He exhaled and cleared his throat before answering it. “Ms.


    Marilyn.”


    The person on the other end rapidly said something, upon which Dexter’s expression changed. A storm


    was brewing.


    “These are allpanies Xanthe is coborating with Justin rushed over. Thirsty, he downed an entire


    bottle of water.


    Josie took the list from him and quickly scanned through it. It was detailed, clearly stating which


    corporation eachpany belonged to.


    The list didn’t include Russell Group, so it seemed that Dexter has truly cut all ties with his mother.


    She also couldn’t find anything wrong with the rest of thepanies. Her brows furrowed. Could it be


    that I had been investigating in the wrong direction?


    Justin noticed the bandage on her head, “What happened to your head? Did Dexter hit you after the art


    exhibition?”


    The art exhibition, it was his credit in finding out the painting Heather giarized. Hence, he naturally


    knew as well.


    Josie shook her head. “Which corporation owns this Stardust eCommerce?”


    Justin nced at it and said, “I’m not sure. It’s an independent enterprise.”


    “Help me look into the owner behind the scenes.” Xanthe’s most frequent coborator was that


    company.


    Justin agreed, then remarked in concern, “Sis, Dexter has been at the hospital these past two days….


    Heather is using a ruse of self-injury.”


    Josie shot him a sidelong nce. “It’ll only work if someone is willing to take the bait. He willingly


    panders. to her, so there’s nothing I can say.”


    Justin was just about to say something further when his phone rang. He picked up the call, only to be


    somewhat surprised after hearing from the person on the other end.


    After hanging up, he muttered, “It seems this ruse of self-injury won’tst much longer.”


    Josie didn’t hear him clearly. She lowered her head and continued typing on the keyboard.


    “Sis, I just got news from our informant at the hospital who said that the patriarch of the Russell family


    is er death. Dexter is by his side. It seems he won’t have time to bother about Heather.”


    Justin spoke in a light and breezy manner, his tone suggesting that he was enjoying the show. He didn’t


    notice that Josie had already stopped typing on the keyboard.


    Josie’s eyes widened slightly. Looking at him in disbelief, she asked, “What did you just say?”


    Justin was surprised by the look on her face. “I… I said that the patriarch of the Russell family is near


    death.


    Dexter…”


    Before he could finish speaking, Josie had already stood up and started to head out. But no sooner had


    she taken a couple of steps than her legs gave way, and she had to lean against the wall to keep from


    falling.
