Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1087

"Edward is still in Dexter's custody. If you want Paul to return, help me rescue him first."

The exchange of a life for a life was discussed as if it were a business transaction.

Josie's heart grew colder and her strength slowly waned. "Arnold, is Paul safe?"

"Didn't Dexter inform you?" he asked teasingly.

"Arnold!" Josie was on the brink of madness, and the buttons on her gown came undone.

"I've heard about what happened in Wavery," he said, fastening her dress one by one. "You were stunning in white when you exposed Rachel's lies."

Josie couldn't help but tremble.

"Now that you're the daughter of the Olsen family, with no one to challenge you, why won't you return?" Arnold let go of her. "Take my advice. Paul is not your biological father, after all."

Slap!

Arnold was struck so hard that his head was knocked to the side.

Josie was so infuriated that her chest heaved. "Come at me, I dare you!"

Arnold remained silent. Josie pushed past him and walked out.

"Take my words to heart." Josie took two steps before she stopped. "If you want your father to return, don't touch Paul, and don't lay a finger on Justin either."

She had only taken a few steps when she spotted Dexter. He was leaning against a street lamp, his face obscured in the dim light. As she approached, he furrowed his brow. "You've been gone for quite a while."

Josie gathered all her strength to calm her chaotic mind and said, "There's a long line because of the crowd."

Dexter furrowed his brow.

"It's been ten minutes. How's it going now?" Josie asked.

"Justin was exposed, Paul has been relocated, and our people are searching for him." Dexter sounded apologetic.

Josie had already known in advance, so she wasn't surprised at this moment. Seeing her lack of reaction, Dexter took out a pack of cigarettes, selected one, and held it between his fingers. He was lost in thought.

He knows. Josie cautiously asked, "What do you mean?"
