Chapter 769 Next to Arnold


    A bad feeling bubbled up. She clenched her fingers and turned back slowly. Blood rushed to her head.


    She had seen thest scene she wanted to see.


    Her fingers dug into her palm. She was panicking, and her breathing was erratic. She patted his face.


    “Arnold! Arnold!”


    The usual light sleeper did not respond.


    Why is he in Wavery?


    She fell to the floor. Raising her head, she looked through the only window in the room. It was bright


    daylight.


    She bit her knuckles but could not stop the trembling. It was almost evening when she left home, and


    now it was bright outside. Dexter’s birthday had passed.


    She stayed a night with Arnold here, stark naked?


    Josie put on her clothes swiftly. She tried to wake Arnold up to no avail. Her mind was cluttered. She


    pushed all the unthinkable thoughts to the back of her mind. The most important thing now was to save


    Arnold.


    He was passed out.


    She smelled the air in the room. If she was correct, someone had put in drugs or something even


    worse, causing them to be light-headed.

    They were in a remote ce. Their phones were nowhere in the room. Josie spent all her energy and


    jumped out of the window. The fresh air was suffocating.


    She ran frantically. Tripped by a stone, she climbed up and continued desperately. She had to get


    someone to rescue Arnold.


    She did not even know how long she had been running.


    She did not have her phone or any money with her. When she finally saw a road, she stopped a taxi.


    “Please send me to Mason… No send me to Russell Group, alright?”


    When she recalled, Josie felt she had taken a path of self-destruction. She knew what had happened


    but hoped to prove that things were not as she had imagined. Dexter would also reach out to her as


    usual.


    Dexter was in his office. He received an unknown call. Joste’s voice was in distress Dexter..”


    “I’m outside thepany. I don’t have any money on me…”


    He could not hear what she said after that. His heart felt like a pin cushion.


    Larry went down in her ce.


    Reporters would have swamped thepany if they had not directed the traffic.


    When Larry arrived. Josie was standing next to the taxi. The driver was secretly filming her. Josie


    noticed him and was bewildered. “Why would you film me?”


    Larry rushed forward. The driver did not even ask for the fare and sped off.


    A pair of nk eyes stared at Larry. He could not bear looking at it with resentment in his heart. “Follow


    me, Mrs. Russell.”


    Josie grabbed his hand. “Why did he film me. Mr. Peeple?”


    Stiffly, he replied coldly, “You know what you’ve done.”


    Dexter’s office door was opened. He stood before the window. His ck clothes made him look forlorn.


    Josie moved forward slowly. Her steps felt heavy.


    A rarely-seen cigarette was between his fingers.


    Yet, even the smoke from it was ck.


    Josie’s voice was stuck in her throat. “Don’t smoke anymore since you’ve quit. It’s difficult to quit if you


    get addicted again.”
