Chapter 154 He Was Disappointed
As the man walked away, Josie noticed something wrong with his legs. He was limping.
Dexter leaned slightly to her and explained, “Around fifty thousand people are working in a few ports in Wavery. These people are neither young nor old and have no qualifications. They had no choice but to work in such a dangerous job of transporting cargo to provide for their families. If they were even a little careless, it would lead to injuries.”
“It’s difficult, right?”
Josie furrowed her brow. “Yes.”
“What to do then? Should we get rid of them?” Dexter casually pulled out a cigarette case and placed a cigarette between his lips. “If fifty thousand people lose their jobs, it will affect fifty thousand families. How can anyone bear to do this?”
Dexter lit a cigarette as Jean listened to his words, puffing away at the cigarette.
“Yet, Westin Ardon has no qualms doing that. Wavery’s economy showed no growth but declined in the ten years he was in charge. He also meddled with the workings of a few corporations, including Landon. Moreover, he automated the cargo transportation work in ports to secure a profit for himself. However, the technology of these machines is still underdeveloped. These machines not only took away many people’s jobs but were unreliable.

Josie was too intimidated by his gaze to speak.
“You said there are many ways to bring down the Ardon family, but you have no idea how extensive his influence is. Any misstep will lead to my downfall. There’s very little leeway.”
Dexter came up behind her and hugged her, continuing softly, “All the money Leo uses was

Josie looked down. “I’m sorry…”
“I’m very disappointed in you. I know you have a kind heart, but I didn’t expect you to empathize with the Ardon family.”
Dexter let go

After he left, Josie slowly squatted on the floor and covered her face in regret. I was wrong…

Josie could not help but tremble.
“Are you a local?”
“Erm…”
“There’s a delicious local specialty. I’ll bring you to have it if there’s a chance.”
Arnold chuckled and pushed a name card to her. “Dexter doesn’t have much interest in women, so naturally, he doesn’t know how to cherish a lady. However, I treasure the woman I love. I like you very much, Ms. Warren. Even if we can’t be business partners, we can consider dating.”
