Dexter was watching her.

In the end, Josie came clean, “What Arnold meant was he will no longer provide me with medicine if you make a move.”

Upon understanding, Dexter slightly bowed his body, filling up the glass with wine as he asked, “Knowing I would make a move, why did you still tell me?”

Even Josie herself didn’t know how to respond. Indeed, she could act as a double agent, secretly serving Arnold while keeping Dexter in the dark. This way, the chances of obtaining the medicine would have been greater.

“Those goods are likely to devastate countless families. I didn’t want to see that happen. If Paul were awake, he wouldn’t have let me do this either,” Josie responded earnestly.

It was not so much about being noble. Since her family had fallen apart, she simply felt that she shouldn’t ignore someone in need for her own benefit.
