After Dexter brought out Paul, Arnold didn’t make a single move, seemingly in no hurry at all. It turned out he had been waiting there all along.

“I’m warning you. If you don’t drink this glass of wine now, even if you beg me in the future, I won’t let you have any,” Arnold said with a mischievous smile.

The trials and tribulations of the past few years had stripped him of his former flamboyance.

Josie had no choice but to grasp the wine glass and drain it in one gulp. The strong liquor burned her throat, yet she didn’t even blink. “Can I speak now?”

Arnold was somewhat surprised. “It seems that you’ve really grown a lot in these past two years. I’ll say it again. Bring Edward out.”

“Why?” Josie didn’t understand. Since Paul had already been rescued, Arnold should have lost his leverage. How could he still make demands?

“The hospital probably couldn’t detect it. Your father was poisoned.”

As though struck by lightning, Josie was frozen in place. The next second, she fiercely grabbed Arnold’s collar, teeth gnashed in anger. “Say that to me one more time, you despicable person!”

He raised his hands past his ears, speaking in a measured tone. “All I did was let him take some drugs. Only people in this circle would know about this kind of poison. Don’t worry, it’s not highly toxic. However, if he can’t get the antidote, he will feel an unbearable itch in his heart, until he goes mad and faints.”
