Chapter 234 Hereditary Mental Disorder
Josie was powerless to fight back.
Arnold dragged her to his office and would not let her go, no matter how hard she struggled.
He made Josie sit down. Then, he took out an ointment and applied it to her bruise. There was a hint of concern beneath the fury in his eyes..
Josie felt awkward. “I’m telling the truth. It wasn’t Dexter.”
It was hard to tell what Arnold was thinking. He snorted and asked, “Is there anything he won’t do?”
Josie stopped trying to explain.
She sat straight and replied, “Arnold, being nice to me now won’t make me forgive you.”
She sounded so childish that Arnold could not help but laugh. He leaned closer to her and asked, “Tell me. What have I done wrong that requires your forgiveness?”
Josie had a lot to say. However, before she could say anything, she could not help but realize he was right. He had not done anything wrong that required her forgiveness.
She fell silent with frustration. The emotions she had suppressed for the past two days finally burst out.
“I’m an insignificant blade of grass to you and Dexter. All I want is to live, yet you and Dexter keep forcing me to do your bidding. If I don’t do them well, you will kill me. How is this fair?” Josie’s eyes welled up with tears. She looked up and felt unbearable tightness in her chest. I only wish to live.”
Arnold could not bear seeing her like this. He placed his hand on her head, comforting her gently. “No one wants to kill you.”
“But you and Dexter are pushing me to the brink!” Josie could not stand it anymore. “You and Dexter are always scheming against each other, and I’m stuck in between, bearing the brunt from both sides. Arnold, can you please let me go?”
Josie watched Arnold’s expression darken. He did not respond, but she knew his answer, prompting her to
shudder in fear.
