Chapter 748 I’m Waiting for Your Divorce
Josie panicked. “Have you heard of Wayne’s actions in the basement
today?”
Arnold was shocked to hear that. “What do you mean?”
“I saw him in a mask today, with a young girl calling him ‘daddy. Does he have a daughter?” She spilled the beans calmly, but it
was Arnold’s turn to lose his cool.
He grabbed her arms and carefully scrutinized her, only releasing her after no wounds were found. “Wayne usually dresses up
as another person when he appears in public. Sometimes, he could be an old. man; sometimes, he would appear strong and
young. Only Mr. Vipera knows what he looks like.” Arnold leaned against the windows indifferently. “The girl is his adopted
daughter.”
“Adopted, huh?” Josie muttered. “Why would he do that? Does this mean that she’s his soft spot?”
The moment Arnold heard that, he shot a meaningful look at her. “You learned quite a lot while you were with Dexter, didn’t you?”
Josie froze upon hearing that. She didn’t know that she had started resembling him.
“Why do you send me away suddenly? I told you-I’m not leaving with Pop.” She changed the topic.
“Josie, things were not as simple as you thought. After all that we’ve been through, he’s still nowhere to be found. I don’t think we
can find him any time soon. Why don’t you return to Wavery? At least Dexter is there he can protect you while you look for
clues.”
He analyzed the situation for her thoroughly. Josie understood that staying alive was more important than anything else.
But...
“What about you? Are you leaving with me?”
“I can’t. Now that I’ve arrived at this point, I have to go back and apologize to him.”
What?
“I w what he did to his bodyguards today. Everyone lost a finger. If you go back after all you’ve done to him, he’s going to kill
you!” she exclaimed worriedly as she walked to him in an attempt to change his mind.
He took another puff of the cigarette. “If that happens, will you take revenge for me?” he asked in his usual playful tone.
Josie nudged him anxiously. “If you dare to go back, I won’t even collect your corpse back!”
He smiled chillingly. “Trust me, Josie. I won’t die so easily.”
She felt her heart tighten upon hearing that.
It seemed that Arnold had everything arranged. Once night had fallen, he disguised himself and took her across the busy streets
to leave La Oriele.
The rain pelted down continuously. As they shared an umbrella, she said in a low voice, “Arnold, you have to come back alive for
me to repay this.”
Raindrops slipped through his fingers as he held the handle of the umbrella. “Of course. I’m waiting for your divorce.”
This time around, Josie didn’t chastise him anymore. She trudged ahead with a heavy feeling in her heart.
They reached the backdoor of La Oriele. A burly-looking bodyguard had been waiting for them. “Mr. Carter,” he greeted
reverently when Arnold got closer.
“Hugh, how have I been treating you?” Arnold asked.
“Extremely well, sir,” Hugh replied solemnly.
“I will remember the favor today.”
Hugh turned around and walked away. When he was some distance away, he waved to the rest of the bodyguards. “You guys
are hungry, aren’t you? I ordered something for everyone. Find a place to rest.” “Thanks, sir!” They followed him under a shelter
and started gobbling down the food.
Meanwhile, Arnold and Josie got into a car that drove away. “When we reach the highway, someone will pick you up.”
