Chapter 540 Recognized

 

The door of the study had been locked from the inside, which meant that no one could have entered the room. This allowed them to exit the basement safely without getting caught.

Arnold placed his hat over Josie’s head as they left the room, hoping to draw attention away from her.

To their surprise, Zach arrived at the garden, dressed in a suit and tie as he mingled with the guests. He had the poise of a gentleman, but they knew this was just a façade.

“I want to thank you all for coming to Summer’s birthday party today,” Zach announced, raising a glass of champagne.

Arnold raised his glass to Zach, his lips curling into a smirk. “Zach.”

Zach turned around to face him and greeted him with a slight nod. “Arnold.”

“I thought you’d be here earlier, Arnold said, walking over to Zach and blocking his view of the villa.

Zach smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “The whole of Wavery knows how much you care for Summer. I could never be as attentive to her as you are, even though I’m her brother.”

Everyone in the crowd chuckled politely at Zach’s remarks.

“What about Laura?” Arnold probed, taking a sip of his wine. His casual manner and tone made it seem as if he hadn’t just witnessed a horrific scene before him earlier.

“Laura wasn’t feeling well, so I had her stay in her room,” Zach said confidently, his voice steady.

Arnold smiled, his lips curving up in a faint smile..

“Mr. Russell, he doesn’t seem suspicious, Larry said to Dexter. They both kept their eyes fixed on Arnold.

The way he carried himself confidently, speaking in high spirits with the guests, left no room for suspicion.

Meanwhile, Summer was walking towards Dexter; her eyes focused on him.

“Where is his secretary?” he inquired.

Larry frowned as he looked around the garden, his eyes searching for Andy. “I don’t see him anywhere,” he replied.

“Find out where he is right now,” Dexter ordered, his voice commanding.
