Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 916

The phone Josie had stashed in her bag began to vibrate intensely. She fished it out and saw that it was a call from Arnold.

She wanted to hang up immediately, but Dexter said in a deep and authoritative tone, “Answer it.”

She gripped her phone tightly, hesitating for a moment before answering the call.

From over there came the hurried breaths of Arnold, holding back from exploding in anger at the brink.

There was a moment of silence, then Arnold asked in a hoarse voice, “Did you and Dexter conspire against me?”

Josie furrowed her brows, turning to look at Dexter, who remained impassive as he stood beside her.

“I have no idea what you're talking about.”

“Josie!” Arnold's voice rose, carrying a faint hint of a sob.

She was taken aback, looking again at Dexter, his face showing restrained patience.

“Pass this message to Dexter. Tell him that I will settle this score, so he should be extremely careful.”

Arnold abruptly hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Josie tossed her cell phone aside and asked, “What have you done?”

Dexter looked at the sky ahead and said, “Dawn is approaching. Let's head back and rest.”

Josie's palms drenched in sweat as she anxiously tried to guess. “Edward is the only person who could make Arnold lose control. Something happened to Edward because of you.”

Dexter neither refuted nor admitted to her statement, continuing to fiddle with his rosary beads as he said, “Grandpa's death should not be exploited in vain.”

Josie squinted her eyes when she heard that. That's a strange thing to say...
