As she spoke, she briskly walked over to the car, slid into the seat, and slammed the door shut.

“Are you f*cking satisfied now?” Josie ripped off her earpiece and threw it on the ground.

Arnold was still smiling. “I wasn’t joking just now. Charles is no small fry, Josie. You are of great importance.”

“Thanks. For your mess, I’ve exhausted the connection that could have ensured a lifetime of wealth and prosperity for me!”

Josie was genuinely furious. If it weren’t for Arnold’s threats, she could have kept Charles as a resource for any future emergencies, instead of acting so rashly.

“Can he protect you?” Arnold sneered disdainfully, “He’s just a mayor for now, but in a couple of years, he won’t be. The one who can truly protect you is…”

He drew out his words, finally giving up. “Forget it.”

Just then, Josie’s phone chimed. It was a message from Charles confirming that everything had been arranged. They were to meet the day after tomorrow for two hours.

She handed it over to Arnold, her thoughts drifting until she broke into a laugh. “I’m quite curious. How are you going to pull off dressing as a woman?”

Arnold glanced around, a plan forming in his mind. “Want to know?”
