Chapter 800 Leaving Early
As the plane ascended into the sky, a multitude of lights from innumerable homes
twinkled below.
Dexter opted not for a private jet this time. Disguised behind a mask, he occupied a seat
in business class, engrossed in his laptop. Behind him, Larry had a clear view of Josie and
her assistant positioned two seats. ahead on his left.
At that moment, Larry grasped the situation. Dexter had boarded this flight, setting aside
his pride, all for
her.
The flight from Wavery to Rivodia entailed a five-hour journey. The passengers around,
fatigued from the trip, had dozed off into slumber.
Among them, Josie lowered her gaze to power down her laptop. She quietly gave Angel
some instructions regarding work before concluding. “Please wake me promptly if
anything comes up.”
Dexter sported a bracelet on his wrist, emitting an air of elegance whenever he raised his
arm. Yet, what truly captured attention beneath the backlight was the modest,

Its surface was rugged, suggesting its value at best a few thousand which was a purchase
from a shopping mall. Neither its craftsmanship nor its price aligned with his stature, yet
he proudly wore it on his ring finger, never removing it.
Larry saw Dexter rise with a blanket in his hand, his tall figure crossing the quiet cabin.
He appeared next to Josie, startling Angel almost to the point of screaming. “Mr. Russell…”
Before she could finish speaking, Dexter’s gaze remained fixed on Josie. He raised his
hand, signaling Angel not to wake her up.
Dexter draped the blanket over Josie, who was drifting off to sleep. His large hand hovered
in mid-air, motionless, as if he was hesitating. He lowered his head and stared for a
moment, then seemed to give up. He clenched his fist and suppressed a cough at his lips
before returning to his seat.
When she slept, her eyelashes would always quiver slightly, likely a sign of restless
slumber. Her complexion was too pale, revealing the faint green veins beneath her skin.
Josie had arrived in Rivodia as the head of Russell Group’s project to participate in a
conference. It wasn’t a grand affair, but it did draw the presence of a few financial
magnates, and the media were scattered. everywhere. News had circulated that both
Dexter and Josie would be in attendance, briefly igniting hopes of capturing some
sensational photographs. However, to their astonishment, the moment they disembarked
from the plane, the two of them went their separate ways through distinct exits, declining
all interview requests.
Josie hadn’t expected Dexter to come, let alone that they would be on the same flight.
When she woke up and saw the blanket on her, she assumed it was Angel’s doing. Angel
hesitated for a moment, recalling Dexter’s gesture, but said nothing.
At the conference, thanks to Dexter’s prior introductions to many of his connections, Josie
had become acquainted with most of the attendees. They could exchange smiles and
engage in discussions about
business matters.
After the prominent figures had concluded their speeches, it was Dexter’s turn to deliver
his address. Adorned in formal attire, his every gesture exuded grace and ease. The allure

emanated from him, instilling a profound sense of reassurance. It left no room for doubt
that this man, no matter the circumstances, would always be there to protect you.
Josie was sitting across from him. The camera intentionally swept over her several times.
She didn’t raise her head, pretending to take notes on the paper.
The conference was halfway through when she received a phone call and had to leave
early.
It was Laura. “It’s all set. Every quarter at this time, Claudia will visit the famous church in
Rivodia to worship.”
Josie took a private car and headed straight for the church.
This place was bustling with throngs of tourists, a stark contrast to the quietude of
Sousturham. However, it also seems to lack a certain degree of devotion.
“May God bless you. Madam, this place is already occupied by another pilgrim. It would be
inappropriate for outsiders to disturb.” The abbot politely declined Josie’s inquiry.
“Apologies, could you please pass on a message for me? My name is Josie, I believe she
would be willing to
meet me.”
