Chapter 337 An Alibi Arnold looked at Dexter, who was standing by the window. The rays of sunlight shone on him, but no one knew what was on his mind.
âYouâre obedient to Dexter.â
Josie couldnât concentrate on the conversation anymore. All she knew was Summer had returned.
Suddenly, she had many realizations. For example, the woman Xandre met was Summer. Dexter returned earlier, for Summerâs sake. Josie could even guess the owner of the white bra now So, thatâs what happened. Josie felt her heart squeezed upon realizing the truth. She covered her mouth so no one could hear her crying.
Meanwhile, Dexter placed his hand on the handle of the restroom after putting out his cigarette.
âArnold, hope you donât mind me using the restroom.â
Stunned, Josie forcefully pushed against the door. If Dexter discovered she was here, she would be finished.
Before Arnold could respond, Dexter felt the resistance behind the door. âIs there someone inside?â He asked with a frown.
Josie closed her eyes in despair.
Just then, Andy walked into the ward. Perceiving Arnoldâs look, he immediately said, âMr. Russell, the door is spoiled. I just asked someone to come and fix it. Sorry about that.â Then, he passed a packet of wet tissue to Dexter. âPlease use this if you donât mind.â
Dexter paused briefly before retracting his gaze. âThanks.â
After wiping his fingers with the wet tissue, he said, âA shipment was intercepted at the port a few days ago. The officers are investigating it. I received news that the shipment is related to the Carter Group, so I helped to cover it, but the follow-up procedures might be troublesome.â
Arnold replied, Iâve heard of it. Donât worry. Thanks for the favor. Iâm still investigating whose mistake it is.â
Dexter wore a faint smile. âYou should investigate it thoroughly. If it wasnât that you ran into a car accident that day, I would think itâs your decision.â
âI should be grateful for the car accident, which provided me with an alibi.â
âYouâre lucky as usual, Arnold. However, luck alone is insufficient to run a business. Dexter commented profoundly. Then, he turned to the side and muttered, âGood luck is rare.â One couldnât tell who Dexter was speaking to.
After Arnold finished the porridge, Summer kept the thermos away and said gently. âIâll ask the chef at my place to prepare meals for you. Get well soon.â
However, Arnoldâs response caught Summer off guard. âSum, arenât you worried that Dexter would be jealous of your concern toward me?â
Dexter was standing with his back facing them, so he didnât notice Summerâs blushing cheeks. âWhat nonsense you are talking aboutâ¦â She mumbled.
After Dexter and his companions left, silence was restored in the ward. A bodyguard came and reported to Arnold, âWeâve escorted them to the car park.â
Arnold lifted his head and said, âAre you gonna continue staying inside?â
Josie checked herself in the mirror before walking out silently with a sullen look.
Arnoldâs heart sank. He sat up and called out to Josie.
âI shall leave first,â Josie said calmly. While walking toward the door, she realized her handbag was left on the couch. Did Dexter notice it? Oh well. I donât think heâll know itâs mine Id âWait a minute. Arnold still wanted to say something.
Josie grabbed her handbag and said. âItâll be too much if you want to mock me after the embarrassing scene.â
âItâs not that. Iâ¦â Josie left the ward in disappointment before Arnold could finish her sentence.
Nothing could be more heartbreaking than bumping into oneâs husband accompanied by the woman whom he had an ambiguous relationship with.
