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.
