Alice asked worriedly, “Are you sure about this?”

“Yes.” Josie did not notice that the man they were discussing was currently standing outside their door. His expression turned cold. However, his lips suddenly curved into a devious smirk.

Judging from her words, it sounded like she regarded Dexter as someone lesser than Arnold. After Alice left, Josie looked at her phone in a daze.

There were many unread messages on WhatsApp, and one of those was from Arnold. His profile picture was a plain, black image, and his message seemed emotionless and professional. I’ve received information on the news. What is your decision? Should I suppress it?’
