Chapter 554 Bothered by Their Relationship Going Public 

Josie stiffened slightly, understanding what he was referring to. T’m fine,” she responded firmly.

Arnold felt a pang of guilt for involving her in the scandal. “The hat, it’s mine,” he explained.

During a business trip abroad, his secretary arranged for a woman who showed a keen interest in him. He paid her two million for five days. Despite the woman’s experience, she could only endure two days before being carried out on a stretcher and spending a month in the hospital.
