Blind Date Turned Proposal (Josie and Dexter)

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. However, the minor delay in cargo transportation doesn’t cause significant backlash or criticism against him. Instead, the workers were the only ones who suffered.”

Josie gasped upon hearing Dexter. She frowned as she looked at the middle-aged men working hard at the port and felt sad for them.
