I Married My Boss... On a Blind Date
Recently, Arnold was occupied with handling the Carter Group's issues. Upon returning to Wavery in a private jet, he went directly to visit his old man. Harry was as bony as usual and slapped Arnold in the face in front of the prison guards the moment he saw him. Arnold didn't dodge but stood firm. "You rascal, how dare you touch the company's original shares!" Arnold licked the corner of his mouth and tasted the tang of blood. "I'm left with no choice." He rarely showed a lack of confidence, but his silence softened Harry's heart. Sighing, he held Arnold's face with his cuffed hands and wore a loving expression. "You're in the best years of your life now. You should start dating someone and get married. Since things didn't work out with Laxir Corporation, think of some other ways. It's a fact that I've lost to the Russells, but that shouldn't happen to you again." The implication behind his words was deep. Andy waited in the car outside of the prison. When he saw Arnold walk out, he was stunned. "Mr. Carter, you…" Arnold's expression was extremely gloomy. He pulled a napkin and wiped off the blood at the corner of his lips. "What happened?" Andy handed over the latest newspaper. "Norman Harris has been taken down." Arnold was startled. He took over the newspaper and read the content but was not persuaded. "What's the reason?" "He has always been supporting Laxir Corporation. Recently, Laxir Corporation got into trouble, so he couldn't avoid being implicated. It was said that his evil deeds were exposed at this crucial time." "It can't be a coincidence." Arnold folded the newspaper and placed it aside. "There were no signs at all before I left Wavery. How fast they are to dig up his past crimes in just a few days. Who's the mastermind?" Andy nodded and cautiously glanced at Arnold's sullen face. He hesitated briefly before answering, "There are rumors that he messed with Mr. Russell's woman." Arnold turned to look at Andy. His face darkened even more as he couldn't believe Andy's reply. "Was it Summer?"Andy lowered his head and mumbled, "I heard it was Ms. Warren." At once, Arnold was almost pushed over the edge. His temples throbbed as he asked in a gruff voice. "Did he manage to have his way?" "No. It was said that Mr. Russell arrived in time and beat Mr. Harris into a pulp. Not long after that, Mr. Harris was arrested." Arnold leaned against the car seat and closed his dry eyes. Andy couldn't read his expression, but he seemed to be relieved. Andy bit the bullet and continued, "This incident is somewhat related to you too. I discovered that it was Ms. Shaw who brought Ms. Warren away." As soon as Andy said that, Arnold's private phone rang. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the incoming caller ID. Seconds later, he answered the call. "Hi, Dexter." The weather was pleasant today. It was rare for Dexter to have free time. He was sitting in the yard, gracefully watering the plants. "I heard you returned to Wavery. I hope all is smooth at your end." Dexter held the phone with one hand and asked insouciantly. Meanwhile, Josie had just woken up from a nap. She was in a better state after resting for a few days. She couldn't find Dexter after waking up and was told by Julie that Dexter was watering the plants in the yard. "It seems like he's in a good mood today." Josie smiled. Just as she was about to go downstairs, she spotted something in Julie's hand. "Aren't these my hair ties?" "Yeah. They became loose, so I'm going to throw them away." Originally, Josie didn't pay much attention to it. However, she happened to spot a strange hair tie mixed with hers. "I don't think this is mine. Where did you find this?" "In the luggage which you and Mr. Russell brought back from the hotel."
