Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 923

As she spoke, Arnold's eyes flickered slightly, as if he too was reminiscing about the journey they had taken.

"Nevertheless, the plan to bring Rachel back to the Olsen family was successful. You had her change her name, her appearance, and even her habits. I believe a large part of those habits were learned from me right here."

Knowing about the past bond between Dexter and Liana was what led Arnold to devise such a scheme.

Josie tilted his head back. "Let me think, when did you find out I was Liana? You must have known before I did."

Arnold leaned back into the leather chair, squinting his eyes to observe her underneath the light.

She was now like a withered rose.

"Not only do you know, but Summer also knows. I still can't figure out why she would agree to this plan, but this plan must be beneficial to her, right?"

Red wine trickled down Josie's hair, her gaze alert yet sincere, as if her entire heart had shattered within.

"Arnold, you let Rachel steal my life away, and yet you have the audacity to say you like me. You're even more hypocritical than Dexter."

Every time she thought about how he had deceived her even during the good times they shared, Josie felt sick to her stomach.

Half of Arnold's face was shrouded in shadow, his expression inscrutable.

After a long silence, he finally spoke. "Has he ever been pushed to the brink of death for you? When we were in Rivodia, I was tortured by Mr. Dalton just to get you out. All of that was sincere."

"But Rachel had already returned to the Olsen family then! Your plan never stopped!" Josie looked at him disappointedly. "Throughout the entire time, have you ever thought of stopping?"

The moment she thought of this, all the guilt that Josie had been carrying simply vanished into thin air.

Arnold straightened up slightly, drawing closer to her, who was reeking of alcohol. When his icy cold eyes met hers, he said, "There's no turning back for us now."

Josie's body stiffened. "Arnold, you have to let me go."
