Blind Date Turned Proposal

Chapter 347 There’s Still Time to Change Your Mind
Ivy fixed a piercing gaze on Josie, her expression filled with disdain. “You’re quite the cunning one, aren’t you? Knowing your
time as Mrs. Russell was limited, you seduced Arnold and won him over to your side. Impressive how you managed to maintain
that relationship,” she taunted. “so, did you sleep with him?”
Josie stood her ground, her voice steady. “Arnold and I have never crossed that line. As she locked eyes with Ivy, a realization
dawned on her. “You were aware of the close connection between Arnold and me, which is why you sent those photos to Dexter,
pretending they came from Arnold.”
Ivy sneered, neither confirming nor denying Josie’s accusation. A sense of indifference seemned to wash over her. “You fooled
me, keeping me under your control all this time!”
A subtle tremor passed through Ivy’s body, her gaze wandering as if lost in distant memories, “The first time I laid eyes on Dexter
was at an airport overseas. I had lost my luggage during the check-in process, and I was in despair, unable to speak Spanish or
receive proper assistance. That’s when he appeared and offered his help
“I’m not lying. I had no idea about his high status and identity then. Yet, I was attracted to him. It was love at first sight, Ivy
confessed, her voice tinged with nostalgia and bitterness.
“We were only together briefly, but he lifted me out of despair, giving me a glimpse of a better life, teaching me elegance and
grace.”
“I knew I didn’t deserve someone like him, but I couldn’t help but hope. And then, within just a couple of days, he offered me the
position of his special assistant. These past few years by his side have felt like a dream, fulfilling beyond words.”
“But... he was heartless... He discovered my feelings for him and fired me.” Ivy showed no hint of remorse. She slowly lowered
herself to a squatting position, her voice wavering with a chilling tone. “He was unbelievably heartless...”
As Josie observed her, Ivy had manifested signs of obsession with Dexter.
Josie’s words were blunt, yet they hit the mark with unwavering truth. “You knew from the start he wouldn’t have feelings for
you...”
Tears streamed down Ivy’s face uncontrollably, smudging her makeup into a messy blur.

“You’re right. But why? I’m an exceptional woman. Why doesn’t he like me? Josie, it’s all because of you. Everything is because
of you!”
Despite facing Ivy’s frenzied screaming, Josie remained composed. She spoke slowly, deliberately. “You can’t hold onto
someone like him.”
Ivy glared at her.
Josie continued, “I can’t hold onto him either.”
“As his special assistant, you should know that women would flock to him with his status and attractiveness. Don’t you know that
he could easily date multiple girlfriends simultaneously?”
Ivy momentarily contemplated Josie’s words before letting out a cold, disdainful laugh. “Are you trying to
lecture me? How presumptuous of you. Just because you’re Mrs. Russell, you think you’re above everyone else and your life is
secure. Dexter understands what goes in your mind. Even if you hold the title of his wife, it won’t guarantee you any special
treatment.”
Blood trickled from Josie’s mouth as she trembled with fear and anger. “At least I’m the rightful Mrs. Russell. Dexter still
acknowledges me as his wife. We have no prenuptial agreement, so if we divorce, I have a claim to his assets. But what about
you?”
Aware of Ivy’s plan and hoping to buy some time, Josie attempted to distract her.
Ivy tightly clenched the hemp rope, causing her fingertips to turn white.
“Ivy, just think about it. You’ve got credentials from the Russell Group that can take you places. Why settle
for this crumbling place and waste your youth? There’s still time for you to change your mind.”
