Chapter 740 Ex-boyfriend


    “I’m not returning yet,” Josie protested. “I must continue the investigation and confirm whether they had


    anything to do with Paul’s disappearance.”


    Arnold frowned at her determination. “How are you nning to go against them?”


    “I have evidence on La Oricle’s illegal dealings.”

    Veins throbbed on Arnold’s forehead! He immediately covered her mouth and pushed her against the


    wall, whispering. “Are you insane? How could you talk about that here?”


    Josie whimpered and replied softly, “What’s wrong with what I said? What they did is against thew.


    Your Sky Pce must have many illicit dealings too. So, don’t anger me, or I’ll get you arrested!”


    She tried to intimidate him, but Arnold grinned and replied, “If you ask around, you will discover that


    every nightclub has something shady going on. On second thought, you don’t have to ask anyone. You


    can ask Dexter if he has done anything illicit.”


    Josie fell silent at the mention of Dexter and put on a pitiful expression.


    Arnold felt heartbroken and jealous as he looked at her. “Do you want the police to arrest him?”


    “No,” Josie answered honestly. “He must have good reasons for doing that.”


    Arnold was angry yet amused. Heughed and pinched her cheek. “You and your double standards.”


    Josie looked up and saw something that scared her out of her wit.


    A man with gold-rimmed sses turned toward a corner, surrounded by a group of people. He had a


    dignified yet indifferent demeanor. As he was about to nce in Josie’s direction, Josie immediately


    pulled Arnold by his bow tie, forcing him to bend toward her. She pressed her face against his chest.


    When Morgan looked her way, he could not see her as Arnold’s body had concealed herpletely.


    Morgan soon turned elsewhere and left.


    Arnold snorted and pressed his cool lips against her face. His gaze darkened instantly, and his heart


    beat like a drum.


    After two minutes, Josie confirmed Morgan had left before pushing Arnold away. She hugged her


    knees. and gasped for breath.


    I almost died of suffocation!


    Arnold stood still. He saw her panicked expression and teased, “Why is your heart beating so rapidly?


    Did you see someone? Are you afraid of someone in Rivodia?”


    -Josie ignored him and could not be bothered to exin that her elevated heartbeat was due to fear.


    She headed outside and retorted, “I’ve told you. It’s scarier than a ghost.”


    Arnold followed her. His voice was clear despite the non-stop music on the first floor. “Could it be your


    ex-boyfriend?”


    Josie stood straight and refused to respond.


    Arnold nced at the surroundings and caught a glimpse of a dignified figure leaving the nightclub. He


    could only see the person’s side profile, but it was enough to confirm his suspicion. “He’s really your


    ex- boyfriend.”


    Josie red at him. “Can you shut up?”


    She did not notice the brief, bitter smile on his face.


    Why do other men have significant rolesat some point in her life except me?


    It gives me no choice but to ept that fate works on a firste, first-served basis. Unfortunately, I’m


    always a step toote.


    That was enough to cause me to lose out on everything.


    Someone approached them when they arrived at the entrance. It was Scar. He nced at Josie and


    greeted, “Yo! Mrs. Carter, you’re here.”


    Josie retorted in exasperation. “I’m not Mrs. Carter.”


    Scar appeared at a loss before going to Arnold’s side and reporting some matters. Hearing him, they


    walked further away, discussing something.


    Josie felt it was pointless to hang around and decided to leave. She walked along the road and called


    Moses. to pick her up. Unbeknownst to her, a tall figure slowly approached her from behind and shoved


    her phone to the ground. He covered her mouth and dragged her away before she could scream.
