Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter)
Chapter 180

Chapter 180 He Didn't Help Her

A crowd rushed forward. Meanwhile, Josie frantically cleaned up the spill with a pack of tissues, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice...

Just then, Ivy exclaimed from the corner, "What's happening here?"

Dexter and Arnold, who had been following Ivy, went pale at the sight. Dexter quickly withdrew his hand from his pocket and came forward.

Clueless about the preceding events, Dexter was shocked to see Jesse shoving Josie away tearfully. "What is wrong with you? I was just joking with you. Do you have to spill hot coffee all over me? You're so mean!"

With a believable despair demeanor, Jesse presented herself as a victim, effectively winning over everyone's trust and support.

Alice elbowed her way through the crowd and grabbed Josie's arm, her voice filled with disbelief. "Jo, did you really...?"

Josie's anger boiled up, and she forcefully shrugged off Alice's grip, "No, I didn't. She ran into

me!"

Ms. Hattie, with a keen eye, noticed Dexter and seized the chance to point fingers at Josie, "Seriously? How could someone be so despicable as you? Jesse didn't wrong you; you're despicable for trying to ruin her!"

Josie stood bewildered, "Instead of blaming me, shouldn't you hurry up and send her to the hospital?"

Ms. Hattie's eyes burned with fury as she raised her hand at Josie, "Don't you dare tell me what to do or try to reason with me!"

Just then, someone intervened, stopping her hand in mid-air. A deep voice commanded, "Leave her alone."

The crowd fell silent. Alice shielded Josie, her voice trembling, "Mr. Carter...?"

But Josie noticed another man standing nearby...

But that tall and handsome man didn't even spare her a glance. He walked up to Jesse, removed his coat, and draped it over her, "Let's get you to the hospital first." Jesse was taken aback, clearly surprised to see him. She instantly adopted an inferior demeanor as if she had been bullied. Mr. Russell? Why are you...

The surroundings erupted in chaos.

Regardless of the reason for Dexter's presence at the filming site, his actions seemed to validate the circulating rumors about him dating Jesse.

Dexter said calmly, "I've asked Ivy to take care of the rest. Let's head to the hospital now,"

He glanced at Josie before addressing Ms. Hattie, "You're coming with us."

Withstanding the pain, Jesse shot a devious glance at Josie and hastily clung to the man's arm, "Mr. Russell, I need you. Please keep me company at the hospital."

There was a brief pause before Dexter retracted her arm and patted her shoulder, "Sure."

Another wave of commotion ensued.

Everyone exchanged incredulous glances.

Josie finally averted her gaze, along with a flicker of hope vanished from her eyes... as if she had lost hope in Dexter.

Could the rumors be true? Is Dexter really dating Jesse?

Josie couldn't shake off the feeling that Dexter and Jesse were the perfect fairytale couple destined for each other. At the same time, she was left playing the villainous character who interfered in their love story, despised by all.

Jesse was the subject of admiration, yet she was stranded with malicious accusations.

Dexter and Jesse had left.

"Anyone who dares to spread gossip about what happened today will have to deal with me!" Arnold's sharp gaze swept across the crowd, eventually settling on Alice. "Come with me."

Arnold projected an air of dominance and authority. Even someone as bold and courageous as Alice felt a tremor in his presence. She squeezed Josie's hand reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Then, she set off with Arnold.

As they tidied up the set, some nosy crew members couldn't resist gossiping about the incident.

Josie stood there, feeling isolated and disheartened.

With a detached demeanor, she picked up some tools to clean up the mess.

Her long hair cascaded down, partially obscuring her ashen face.
