Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 735

Chapter 735 Wayne Was an Alias 

“Are you scared?” Arnold snuffed the cigarette. “It’s not too late to get out now. I’ll protect you.” 

She would have been lying if she said she was not afraid. Even the memory of the scene from before made her shudder in fear. However, she could not back out. 

“I can’t leave. I have to find Paul.” 

Arnold narrowed his eyes. “You heard what they say. Wayne is connected to what happened to Paul more than ten years ago. Do you know what kind of person he is? Don’t tell me you wish to investigate him?” 

Josie was confused. “What’s wrong with investigating him? He did something shady, so shouldn’t he be afraid of me?” 

Arnold sneered and held the back of her head before leaning closer to her. “You think can threaten him? Even I can kill you any time.” 

you 

They were so close that Josie could smell alcohol and cigarette on him. She frowned and nearly choked from the strong smell. 

“Why didn’t you kill me, then?” 

Arnold paused briefly. Then, he pushed her away in resignation. “You should leave. You should go back to Dexter and continue being Mrs. Russell.” 

“I will leave.” Josie’s expression was calm. “But only after I’ve found Paul.” 

She grabbed her bag, pushed open the door, and left. 

Moses had been waiting outside all this while and nearly went mad from worry. Seeing Josie, he rushed to her and said, “Mr. Russell, are you all right? I heard someone was bleeding from their head…” 

Josie pulled out a tissue and dabbed the blood stain. “I’m fine. Arnold showed up and saved 

me.” 

As he got closer, he noticed a blood stain on Josie’s wrist. He held his breath and asked, “What’s this…” 

Moses was stunned. Knowing Arnold, Moses found the matter suspicious no matter how he thought about it. “What should we do next?” 

The sky was dawning, Josie turned around at looked at La Oriele’s architecture. “Can you

inform the staff in Wavery for me? Tell them to investigate a person called Wayne. If possible, find out about his family.” 

Moses answered in the affirmative and left to get it done. 

Meanwhile, Josie checked into a hotel near La Oriele. The whole situation was unclear at the moment. It seemed she would not be returning to Wavery any time soon. 

She was exhausted after a busy day. Nowadays, she could only sleep when she was thoroughly drained. Despite being tired, she slept fitfully and only woke up in the afternoon. Coincidentally, her phone rang. It was a call from Dexter. 

“You’re awake.” Dexter’s voice was charming and sensual when he lowered his tone. 

“Yes, did 

you find anything?” Josie’s voice was a little hoarse from sleep. She did not ask how he knew she had woken. 

On the other hand, Dexter paused briefly before answering, “I can’t find anything significant for now. Wayne is most likely an alias.” 

“Arnold said he never met Wayne. This man controls Robert, proving he is no ordinary person. Furthermore, he forced a hospital director to resign and made a doctor go missing. He must have considerable authority.” 

Josie analyzed speedily. 

“I understand. But things will get messy whenever it affects a higher-up’s interest. Moreover, you’re in Rivodia. I don’t have much influence there.”
