Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1220

Mark remained utterly composed. “What do you mean?”

Arnold sneered, “Dexter, Mark is practically your father-in-law. He risked his life to come here, yet you continue to deceive him. Is that really appropriate?”

Dexter turned to his side, seemingly puzzled. “What did I supposedly lie about?”

“Josie didn't die, and you used this fact to lure Mark. If Josie knew, she would probably hate you even more, wouldn't she?” Arnold turned off the loudspeaker so he was audible only to a few people around him.

Dexter stared at him. “Do you dare to tell him and everyone, then? Do you have the courage? Once you do, you'll lose all your leverage. Is it worth it?”

He gradually began to laugh. “Is it worth it to expose someone as notorious as me?”

Arnold looked into his eyes, filled with a potent mix of hatred and an inevitable sense of resignation.

Impatient, Mark interrupted, “Enough with the chatter. I'm giving you two options, Arnold. You live, or you die. Your choice, one word.”

That left Arnold with no room to retreat.

Josephine watched the spectacle unfolding before her, her legs turning to jelly. She shook her head. “Robyn, just hand them over. Survival is what matters.”

Initially, she assumed that Josie was just an ordinary person. Little did she know that Josie had such a powerful support system behind her!

“Shut up! Do you really think that handing over a person would guarantee our survival? Dexter—” Arnold raised an eyebrow, suddenly saying, “What I detest most is your air of superiority, as if you have everything under control.”

Upon hearing those words, Josie felt a sudden sense of foreboding washed over her.

Indeed, under Dexter's watchful gaze, Arnold suddenly pulled out his cell phone.

“Mr. Dalton.” His voice was languid yet resolute. “It seems I can't get out of this last deal unscathed. Do it.”
