Chapter 150 Cold-Blooded and Ruthless
Josie didn’t know. She thought that getting her revenge on Claire was enough.
She pretended to stay calm. “It’s only natural. I would do the same if I were in Dexter’s shoes.”
Arnold revealed an admiring smile. “I told you how men can fall prey to beautiful women. previously. This time, I’m going to tell you how.”
“You’re devious, Mr. Carter.” Josie sighed and waved her injured arm. “It’s a shame I’m not the main female character in your stories. I’m expendable, at best.”
“Have
you heard of people carrying out their schemes behind a façade?”
Josie kept quiet.
“It’s what you two are doing.” Arnold poured her a cup of tea.
She stared at the ripples on the tea’s surface. “Mr. Carter, I’m really not who you’re looking for. I was stirred by what you said last time, and I tried it, but Mr. Russell was aloof. He won’t be moved by me. Why don’t we just give up?”
It was as though Arnold didn’t hear what she said. “You say I’m devious, but I’m not as meticulous as Mr. Russell. He pulled the rug from under the Ardon family, throwing the Carter Group into chaos. He’s so capable.”
Josie understood. The Ardon family protected Landon and Martin, which meant they also
shielded Arnold, but Dexter was merciless. It could be said he had hit two birds with one
stone.
“I don’t understand. It’s just the law of the jungle in the world, isn’t it?”
“Just like the woman who was beaten up? The only reason she’s weak and you’re strong is because you have someone supporting you behind the scenes while she doesn’t.”
“She schemed against me first!” Josie blurted out.
