Arnold sneered, “Dexter, Mark is practically your father-in-law. He risked his life to come here, yet you continue to deceive him. Is that really appropriate?”

Dexter turned to his side, seemingly puzzled. “What did I supposedly lie about?”

“Josie didn’t die, and you used this fact to lure Mark. If Josie knew, she would probably hate you even more, wouldn’t she?” Arnold turned off the loudspeaker so he was audible only to a few people around him.
