The private detective was taken aback to discover that Josie had returned directly to Rivodia.
âThere have been some changes, but I didnât expect you to come back so soon.â
Inside the cafe, Josie, dressed in a way that made it difficult to recognize her face, asked, âHave you found out where my father is?â
âAfter the fire in La Oriele, our leads on Mr. Warren have disappeared. Someone is deliberately covering it up. Iâm investigating the person in charge of La Oriele.â
Josie pursed her lips, took out her phone, and handed over a photo. âTake a look. Is this the person?â
âYes⦠His name is Robyn Mills. Do you know him?â He looked at the photo again. âHowever, the person in this photo seems to be younger.â
Because back then, he was still known as Arnold.
âHave you found anything?â
âHeâs a Clusian who returned from overseas and was hired as a professional manager to take over La Oriele two months ago. He has some wealth.â
Josie had learned all of this from Dexter, which left her somewhat disheartened.
âBy the way, the person named Scar, whom we Investigated before, has been seen recently with this individual named Robyn. It seems they have a deep connection.â
Josie took a deep breath.
âI have a grudge against this man. He was the one who kidnapped and took my father away.â
The detective was surprised. âThis clue is crucial. Why didnât you tell me from the beginning?â
âBy then, he had already disappeared. I didnât have much hope.â Josie then signaled for the waiter to bring the bill. âKeep me informed of any developments at any time.â
âI just received news that Robyn is going to attend an investment meeting in Rivodia in two days.â
After meeting with the detective, Josie stayed in the cafe for a while. She recalled the words Arnold had spoken that day and couldnât help but feel uncertain.
Dexter has been controlling Edward for such a long time. Whatâs his purpose? Is he just waiting for Arnold to personally hand over Paul?
As this thought crossed her mind, Josie chuckled and shook her head. Why would Dexter, a man who prioritizes his own interests above all else, consider my future to such an extent?
She murmured, âJosie, donât think too highly of yourself.â
âMommy!â
Grapeâs voice brought her back to reality. She turned around, only to see the girl running in, with Dexter following behind.
âHow did you know I was here?â
âMr. Peeple said he saw you when he was passing by.â
Josie had only come out after Grape fell asleep. However, it only took half an hour before she was found. Josie pursed her lips, looking at Dexter. He had a faint smile in his eyes.
âYouâve been watching me?â
Josie stepped outside, holding the child in her arms, and a gentle breeze carried a delicate fragrance.
Dexterâs smile faded. âI didnât.â
âEven though these hundred days are part of a deal, I donât appreciate being watched. Stop what youâre doing,â Josie said while combing Grapeâs hair.
The child had just woken up from her nap, and her hair was a mess. Josie had no idea who had tied it up for her.
Larry, standing to one side, was displeased. âI was the one who ran into you when I came to deliver some documents. Mr. Russell-â
âYou are very loyal,â Josie interrupted him. âBut donât base it on me.â
She had a natural prejudice against Dexter.
Larry wanted to say more, but Dexter raised his hand to interrupt him. âI will learn to tie her hair gradually, so I wonât intrude on your personal time in the future.â
Grape spoke in a sweet and innocent tone, âYou did a great job. Mr. Lachlan didnât do well when he first braided my hair either!â
Maybe Grape shouldnât have mentioned that.
