Chapter 740 Ex-boyfriend
“I’m not returning yet,” Josie protested. “I must continue the investigation and confirm whether they had anything to do with Paul’s disappearance.”
Arnold frowned at her determination. “How are you planning to go against them?”
“I have evidence on La Oricle’s illegal dealings.”
Veins throbbed on Arnold’s forehead! He immediately covered her mouth and pushed her against the wall, whispering. “Are you insane? How could you talk about that here?”
Josie whimpered and replied softly, “What’s wrong with what I said? What they did is against the law. Your Sky Palace must have many illicit dealings too. So, don’t anger me, or I’ll get you arrested!”
She tried to intimidate him, but Arnold grinned and replied, “If you ask around, you will discover that every nightclub has something shady going on. On second thought, you don’t have to ask anyone. You can ask Dexter if he has done anything illicit.”
Josie fell silent at the mention of Dexter and put on a pitiful expression.
Arnold felt heartbroken and jealous as he looked at her. “Do you want the police to arrest him?”
“No,” Josie answered honestly. “He must have good reasons for doing that.”
Arnold was angry yet amused. He laughed and pinched her cheek. “You and your double standards.”
Josie looked up and saw something that scared her out of her wit.
A man with gold-rimmed glasses turned toward a corner, surrounded by a group of people. He had a dignified yet indifferent demeanor. As he was about to glance in Josie’s direction, Josie immediately pulled Arnold by his bow tie, forcing him to bend toward her. She pressed her face against his chest.
When Morgan looked her way, he could not see her as Arnold’s body had concealed her completely.
Morgan soon turned elsewhere and left.
Arnold snorted and pressed his cool lips against her face. His gaze darkened instantly, and his heart beat like a drum.
After two minutes, Josie confirmed Morgan had left before pushing Arnold away. She hugged her knees. and gasped for breath.
