Chapter 404 Returning A Favor
“Since it’s a formality, you can see if he cares for you. Jo, I know you, and I know what he must do to give you a sense of security.” Paul pulled her arm. “Is there an ulterior motive?”
No matter what, Josie couldn’t be honest. “No… We’ll do it later. He’s busy recently.”
If Summer saw them having a wedding, she would want to kill Josie.
This was no longer concerning just the two of them. It was a power struggle.
Josie received news from Arnold one week later. He told her that his wedding with Eileen was canceled, and the debt of one billion was repaid.
Josie didn’t know how he had done it.
“I heard that you’re now free?” Arnold’s voice sounded relaxed on the phone.
Josie quickly understood what he meant. “I’m not in a rush to work.”
“Help me do something since I saved you once.”
Josie was dumbstruck.
He wanted her to help Carter Group close a project. There was competitive bidding on a new area in Wavery.
“Don’t worry. I’m not Russell Group’s competitor this time,” Arnold said half–teasingly, but he was considerate.
Josie was relieved. Ultimately, she asked, “How did you save Carter Group?”
“Dexter and I have information on each other.” Arnold avoided her question. His voice was cold. “Josie, he can never completely defeat me. No matter how many times he tries, neither side will win.”
His animosity was apparent. Josie thought of his father and didn’t ask further.
She stayed up late daily to work to prepare the tender document for him because of the favor she owed him.
Dexter didn’t ask much when he saw her suddenly getting busy. She wasn’t sure if he knew that Carter Group was participating in the competitive bidding. Still, she didn’t plan to say anything before he asked.
He asked the servants, “Is Josie back yet?”
