Chapter 719 See You Again
Arnold’s smug smirk etched deeper as he deliberately spilled a glass of wine onto the ground, remarking. “Navigating the storms of Wavery is the real challenge, wouldn’t you say, Dex?”
With his words hanging in the air, the group trailed after Josie, their strides determined.
Unnoticed by anyone, Dexter’s gaze turned remarkably intense.
Scar stumbled along, his caution evident, and turned to Arnold, “Did Mrs. Russell provoke her husband. just now? What’s going on between them…”.
Arnold playfully slapped his head, “Address her as Ms. Warren, not Mrs. Russell!”
Scar’s typical menacing demeanor appeared oddly wronged now, “Well… Mr. Carter, but she’s already married to Dexter Russell. Are you sure you’re not being too hopeful?”
Why did he get the sense that Arnold was instead relishing this fictitious identity of Josie?
Shooting Scar a glare, he corrected himself promptly, “Alright, alright, my mistake. Ms. Warren, it is.”
Meanwhile, Josie wandered aimlessly, not knowing her destination but driven by the need to walk and dispel the frustration within her.
Arnold waved off the others and trailed Josie, holding her bag.
After walking for around thirty minutes, Josie’s fatigue began to set in. She found a slightly elevated spot and took in the nocturnal panorama of Wavery,
Arnold joined her, a playful grin on his face. “This skyscraper of mine is enormous. You wouldn’t even cover half of it on a single night.”
Josie wasn’t in the mood for playful banter. She remained silent, letting the breeze tousle her hair.
However, their vantage point was tricky. If they cast a glance downwards, they would spot Dexter’s car parked at the entrance, surrounded by a convoy of five or six cars,
Dexter stood in an open area, Leanne at his side. Their conversation seemed to be in full swing-
Josie gasped for air seeing their seemingly close relationship, “…I don’t want to doubt him, but he never tells me anything.”
She was entirely unaware of Leanne’s position at the Russell Group.
Why hadn’t Dexter informed her?
“Why would he even mention such a spicy topic to you? Could you handle the heat? Everyone in Wavery got
their cars to the ground about Mark and Leanne.”
Arnold rested against the railing as he revisited today’s event. “And it’s not far off from the buzz caused by your unexpected appearance today-equally scandalous and spicy for him to handle.”
“Ah, both of you walking into the shocking and spicy truths inadvertently adds to the intrigue. How exciting!
He chuckled gleefully as if he were watching a clash of titans.
