Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442 Three Strikes Law 

When the person discovered it. Arnold was playing with his child at the park. Wearing a pair of glasses, he smiled maliciously like a snake. “You have one day to write a public apology and announce your bankruptcy. Then, leave Wavery” 

The man was scared out of his wits when he saw Arnold casually holding the child’s neck without exerting force. The child thought he was playing with him, but of course, the man could tell Arnold was threatening him. 

“Mr. Carter, if I reveal this matter to the public, my family will be ruined!” 

Arnold replied mercilessly, “If you rather see your family die in Wavery. I won’t force you.” 

That man nearly fell on his knees. Thereafter, he left Wavery and stayed away from the business circle. He started anew in a foreign place and could only look back at his previous achievements in remorse. 

It was a gray area. Arnold had his dark ways but rarely made a move. Once he was irritated, the 

consequence could be dire. 

What Eileen did had undoubtedly provoked Dexter, but little did she know it Arnold too.

Arnold didn’t bring up the past matters previously because he felt indebted to Eileen and thought she had a clear conscience. However, what she did to Josie crossed Arnold’s bottom line. 

In California’s three-strikes law, a convict who repeatedly committed serious felonies would receive a life sentence without parole. The same principle could be applied to other matters in life. Obviously, Eileen had received more than three strikes from Arnold.

Arnold’s smile faded as he caressed Eileen’s delicate face without expression. “Mm-hmm. Go

Eileen saw a glimmer of hope and blurted a sharp remark. “She’s a b*tch!” 

“Aah!” Suddenly, a piercing scream emerged from the lounge, sending a chill down the spine of those outside. 

Three Strikes Law 

Awakened by the pain, Eileen finally regained her senses as she slumped to the ground, looking incredulously at the enraged man. 

Later, Andy came in to take care of the rest. The lounge was in disarray. Arnold restored his lofty manner and threw away the napkin he used to wipe his hand. “Call the police. Ms. Shaw is using drugs. He ordered apathetically. 

Andy was shocked when he saw Eileen, who collapsed on the ground miserably. She was trembling and muttering, “No… No… I didn’t! Arnold, you can’t do this to me!” 

Arnold left resolutely as if the matter was unrelated to him. 

Eileen was in immense pain and let out a desperate cry, “Aah-”
