Chapter 198 Splash of Wine
“What do I know? Dexter brought his wife to a party for the first time, and you’re here creating trouble for him. We’ll wait and see how he punishes you later.”
“I’ll leave that up to him!” She replied without a hint of nervousness. “Arnold, didn’t you go to London a few days ago? Is Summer recovering well? If she knew what happened here, you’d need to return to London again!”
Arnold fidgeted a little but smiled as he continued, “Laura, if Summer ever finds out about this, I won’t let you off easily.”
“Arnold Carter! Why are you taking this b*tch’s side?”
“Who are you referring to as a b*tch?” Josie was upset at her rude remarks. “I don’t even know you, but it doesn’t mean you can call me names!”
“Why can’t I? You are a b*tch! You seduced Dex when Summer wasn’t around. I can’t believe you even married him secretly!” She was the only one in the room who wasn’t wearing a mask of composure. She must’ve just found out about their marriage.
“If she’s as outstanding as you describe, why did she leave the country and give me this. chance? Please watch your filthy mouth! I have never seduced Dexter. Not even once.”
Josie couldn’t help but refute her outrageous claims.
“You!” Laura’s anger boiled over. The next moment, she snatched up a wine glass, intending to splash it on Josie’s face, but Arnold stepped before her. The wine splashed all over his suit, and Josie gasped in shock, bewildered that he would protect her dignity.
Arnold’s eyes narrowed into icy slits. “Are you satisfied now?”
“Arnold.”
“Leave!”
Laura glared at Josie before stomping away in anger.
Josie rushed to take the tissues and wiped his suit. “This… I… you… that… thank you,” she stuttered nervously.
Arnold grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the washroom. “It’s not convenient here. Let’s go somewhere else.”
Unlock succeeded
him unwillingly. She turned around and and hadn’t seen what had happened.
Arnold removed his coat in the washroom and went straight to the point. “You’re good.”
Josie pretended she didn’t understand. “What do you mean, Mr. Carter?”
“It turned out you’d already been married to Dexter when I first met you. How did it happen?” Arnold had his hands in his pocket as he leaned on the sink and lit a cigarette.
Josie awkwardly smiled at him. “I guess I’m really charming.”
Arnold sneered at her reply and rested his eyes on her chest. “I’m not sure about your charms, but you have an attractive body.”
Josie immediately covered her chest with her hands. “Why are you acting like this?”
“Have you two done the deed?”

Josie didn’t understand why he made such a brusque inquiry. However, since Dexter had already admitted their relationship, she naturally replied, “Of course.”
Arnold nodded and exhaled a puff of smoke. “I’ve seen the CCTV in the resting area.”
Josie remembered that Dexter had already removed the listening device. “You’re lying.”
“He removed the listening device but not the CCTV. He wanted me to witness it, so I did my part and enjoyed it.” Arnold was having fun teasing her. “I got a call from Summer that day. She was involved in an accident, so I had no choice but to fly to London, but it turned out that Dexter had acquired Landon while I wasn’t around.”
Josie’s eyes
widened as she realized the truth. They were all part of Dexter’s deliberate plan.
“Mr. Carter had wanted me to charm Dexter, but it turns out that a similar spell has been cast on you.”
