On the day of the prison visit, Scott relayed a message, âItâs summer. She didnât bring anything.â
During the two-hour visitation period, they chatted about everyday matters, discussing the changes that had occurred over the past two years, as well as Arnoldâs still unknown whereabouts. Edward had aged significantly and remained silent upon hearing this news.
Summer had Edward sign a document for her that would at least secure her standing in the Olsen family.
As she was leaving, she said, âPlease take good care of yourself. I owe todayâs opportunity to meet you entirely to my sister. If you have time, please pray for her often.â
Edward was a religious man.
Upon hearing this, Edward asked, âWhich sister are you referring to?â
âJosie. Sheâs my sister.â
After that, Scott had conveyed the general idea, leaving Josie somewhat perplexed. âSince Summer has met Edward, Arnold will start to believe me. But why did she deliberately leak my information?â
In prison, Edward was unable to do anything. Dexter seemed lost in thought. He then asked Scott, âHas Charles returned to Wavery?â
âThe plane that departed two hours ago should have arrived by now.â
Dexter glanced at the time. âWhen did Summer leave?â
âItâs probably been about two hours. Gathering information takes time,â Scott explained.
âWhere did Summer go after she left?â
âOf course, she returned to Arnold. We couldnât find out who she had been in contact with. They were on high alert inside.â
Dexter understood clearly, and he furrowed his brows slightly. âStill too late.â
Josie didnât understand. âWhat does that mean?â
There was no need for Dexter to explain. In less than half an hour, the news had already spread throughout Rivodia.
No sooner had Charles returned to his office than representatives from the prosecution division arrived, initiating a related investigation against him.
In his position, a single move could set off a chain reaction.
The private calls to Dexterâs phone never ceased.
Immediately, Josie slumped onto the couch. âWhy has this happened? On the surface, everything was clearly legal and compliant. It shouldnât have been made into an issue.â
Dexter did not answer the phone. He had set it to silent mode. âItâs not about this matter. Those who managed to sit in this position most often did so by pulling off vicious moves. If anyone with a discerning eye were to investigate, they would likely uncover numerous issues.â
âBut as for Charlesâ¦â
âWhen Summer saw Edward and mentioned your name, he naturally turned his thoughts toward you. He would then think of me and the Russell family.â Dexterâs gaze was focused. âEdward, who no one has been able to visit in prison for two years, suddenly has this privilege. Naturally, they can guess who your backer is.â
Josie could understand what was going on. âI am the bait. So Arnold didnât really want to meet Edward, but was aiming for Charles?â
Dexterâs expression was intriguing, âThings are changing in Wavery. If he could replace Charles with an accomplice of his, no one would be able to keep him in check anymore.â
âYou had guessed it all along? Then why did you let me go? You made me harm Mr. Zimmerman.â Upon hearing this, Josie finally understood. She abruptly stood up. No wonder Dexter didnât show up that day. He knew everything. He let me play the villain.
âDo you want to save him?â Dexter looked up, his eyes indifferent.
âWhat?â
It was ten oâclock at night.
It was at the height of the bustling nightlife when Josie received the news that Arnold was spending the night there.
âMiss, who are you looking for?â the attendant asked with utmost respect.
âArnâ¦â Josie paused. âIâm looking for Robyn.â
âMr. Mills? Please wait a moment.â
A moment later, the attendant led her into a private room. It was filled with men, but there was one woman who was particularly eye- catching.
