Blind Date Turned Proposal (Josie and Dexter)

Chapter 538 Found the Hidden Basement

Dexter moved away from Heather after Josie entered the room and said, “You’re right, but that’s the extent of my gratitude.”

Heather was left stunned by his coldness.

After they entered the study, Josie took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “Why did you request to enter the study room?”

Arnold took off his coat and covered the security cameras. He then started to search the room. “I lived in the Olsen residence in the past and found a secret basement that sounds like the one you’re talking about. I’m not sure if it’s the same one.”

Josie raised her eyebrows in surprise and started to search around.

Arnold spoke in a hushed tone, “How long has Laura been physically abused?”

“It’s been happening for a while. I thought she was getting better after introducing her to a therapist, but I never imagined that Zach would still abuse her.”

Her fury rose as she described what had happened to Arnold.
