Chapter 198 Splash of Wine âWhat do I know? Dexter brought his wife to a party for the first time, and youâre here creating trouble for him. Weâll wait and see how he punishes you later.â
âIâll leave that up to him!â She replied without a hint of nervousness. âArnold, didnât you go to London a few days ago? Is Summer recovering well? If she knew what happened here, youâd need to return to London again!â
Arnold fidgeted a little but smiled as he continued, âLaura, if Summer ever finds out about this, I wonât let you off easily.â
âArnold Carter! Why are you taking this b*tchâs side?â
âWho are you referring to as a b*tch?â Josie was upset at her rude remarks. âI donât even know you, but it doesnât mean you can call me names!â
âWhy canât I? You are a b*tch! You seduced Dex when Summer wasnât around. I canât believe you even married him secretly!â She was the only one in the room who wasnât wearing a mask of composure. She mustâve just found out about their marriage.
âIf sheâs 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.â
Josie couldnât help but refute her outrageous claims.
âYou!â Lauraâs anger boiled over. The next moment, she snatched up a wine glass, intending to splash it on Josieâs 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.
Arnoldâs eyes narrowed into icy slits. âAre you satisfied now?â
âArnold.â
âLeave!â
Laura glared at Josie before stomping away in anger.
Josie rushed to take the tissues and wiped his suit. âThis⦠I⦠you⦠that⦠thank you,â she stuttered nervously.
Arnold grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the washroom. âItâs not convenient here. Letâs go somewhere else.â
Unlock succeeded him unwillingly. She turned around and and hadnât seen what had happened.
Arnold removed his coat in the washroom and went straight to the point. âYouâre good.â
Josie pretended she didnât understand. âWhat do you mean, Mr. Carter?â
âIt turned out youâd already been married to Dexter when I first met you. How did it happen?â Arnold had his hands in his pocket as he leaned on the sink and lit a cigarette.
Josie awkwardly smiled at him. âI guess Iâm really charming.â
Arnold sneered at her reply and rested his eyes on her chest. âIâm not sure about your charms, but you have an attractive body.â
Josie immediately covered her chest with her hands. âWhy are you acting like this?â
âHave you two done the deed?â
Josie didnât understand why he made such a brusque inquiry. However, since Dexter had already admitted their relationship, she naturally replied, âOf course.â
Arnold nodded and exhaled a puff of smoke. âIâve seen the CCTV in the resting area.â
Josie remembered that Dexter had already removed the listening device. âYouâre lying.â
âHe removed the listening device but not the CCTV. He wanted me to witness it, so I did my part and enjoyed it.â Arnold was having fun teasing her. âI 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 wasnât around.â
Josieâs eyes widened as she realized the truth. They were all part of Dexterâs deliberate plan.
âMr. Carter had wanted me to charm Dexter, but it turns out that a similar spell has been cast on you.â
