Chapter 301 The Person Arnold Likes Carter Groupâs celebrations werenât inferior to Russell Groupâs. Arnold was a particular person. He wouldnât lose to Dexter.
Josie discovered Arnold had returned to the country as they arrived at the hotel.
Laura ran to Arnold in her heels and hugged the brightâlooking man. She looked up and asked, âWhat time did you arrive, Mr. Carter?â
It seemed like he had just returned today.
Josie stood on the spot and felt slightly awkward. Josie saw Arnold patting Lauraâs head but looking at Josie. âIn the morning.â
For some reason, Josie thought of what Lillian had said to her but was still unwilling to believe it.
âWe meet again, Ms. Warren.â When Arnold approached Josie, he extended his hands with a faint smile as he sized her up.
âMr. Carter.â Josie nodded respectfully and didnât overstep boundaries.
After entering the venue, Laura was a social butterfly. She could chat with anyone and seemed to be in a great mood.
Josie looked around and only saw a few acquaintances from Russell Group. After greeting them, Josie sat in a corner and sent Dexter a message, asking him if he had finished his work.
He didnât reply to her message, so she thought he was still busy.
A few board members were giving speeches on stage. Josie supported her head with her hand as she listened to them, overcome with boredom. She could vaguely predict Carter Groupâs future development.
It wasnât as complicated as Russell Groupâs. Carter Group made a fortune out of the real estate business. They had exceptional foresight and knowledge. Therefore, everything went smoothly for them.
None of the board members were Carters. They were outsiders but were willing to work for Arnold. His ability and status were evident.
Josie had always felt that although Arnold didnât seem very resolved, he had profound plans and schemes.
Otherwise, Dexter wouldnât have treated Arnold as a rival for so many years.
âWhat are you thinking about?â A soft yet firm voice pulled her back to reality. She was taken aback when she looked up at Arnold, who was in a bright suit.
He sat beside her, and she subconsciously shifted to the side.
âArenât you occupied today?â
Arnold stretched and leaned back in the chair. âYouâre an honored guest. How can I ignore you?â
She didnât want to hear such things.
Carter Group had invited many celebrities, and many people surrounded the stars. No one noticed Josie and Arnoldâs interaction in the corner.
shapter av The Person ATTIONU DIRUS âYour husband is quite merciless. He dealt a heavy blow at such a crucial juncture. It hurts,â he said with a faint sinile as his bright eyes curved. Josie didnât dare look at him.
Josie had a rough idea that Dexter was making a move against the Carter Group, Did his business trip this time have anything to do with this?
âBusiness is like war. A woman like me doesnât understand it.â
Business Arnold sneered and twisted his wrists. âI told you not to return to Rivodia previously, but you still did, didnât you?â
Josic looked at him and kept quiet. It was her way of silently acknowledging.
Arnold understood it and nodded. âHeâs like that. He takes advantage of people to their full extent.â
Josie was uncomfortable by Arnoldâs peculiar words. She frowned. âArnold, you donât have to beat around. the bush if you want to say something to me. But of course, I will judge for myself if your words are right.â
At this time, the celebrities dispersed, and there was a ruckus on stage as they asked Mr. Carter to dance.
The spotlight shone on Arnold. Josie, who was next to him, had no place to hide. She subconsciously hid her face, and her heart beat furiously.
Arnold was at case. He sat on the spot without moving âYouâve never trusted me.â
Josie frantically avoided the spotlight, and she kicked his calf. âQuickly answer them!â
After a moment, Arnold slowly rose among everyoneâs baffled gaze. âWho do I have to dance with?â
Someone shouted, âThe person you like, of course.â
