Chapter 690 Dexter Wanted Arnold Dead

Arnold’s men dragged the bloodied waiter away.

Soon, all the other waiters were called away, and the private lounges’ doors were shut.

Larry waited for her at the door. They exchanged items within a few seconds. If someone

were to check the surveillance recording, it would appear that they never met.

“Mr. Russell, I got it.”

Larry presented a tiny camera to Dexter. It contained recordings of the gathering in

The waiter that Arnold’s men beat up only served as a distraction to prevent the real spy

from being discovered.

Dexter viewed the footage before handing it to Caesar to have a look. “Do you think this is

enough proof to report him?”

Caesar had a conflicted expression. He seemed troubled. “Mr. Russell, shouldn’t we

rashly…”

Dexter remained calm and asked, “Is Arnold’s superior in this?”

Caesar looked at the recording again before replying, “No.”

“Then there’s nothing to worry about. All that matters is Mr. Lynch is in there.” Dexter took

the camera from Caesar and gave it to Larry before instructing him to proceed.

The dinner came to an end, and Caesar left through the backdoor. As Dexter led Josie out

of the place, they coincidentally bumped into Arnold, sending off his guests. His voice was

intimidatingly cold as he said, “Dexter, to what do I owe the pleasure of having you in Sky

Dexter held Josie’s hand tightly and replied, “You have a nice place. I should come here

Arnold smiled slightly. “I’m afraid my waiters can’t bear your torment if you visit here too.

Dexter smiled in response.

Although they knew the other’s animosity, neither dared to fight openly, Josie was tired of

She wanted to wrench her hand from Dexter.

However, Dexter gave her a warning glance and tightened his grip. “Jo, why haven’t.

Josie’s expression turned sullen as she sensed Arnold’s probing gaze. “Mr. Carter…”

Arnold stared at her and smiled. “Mrs. Russell, you’re an old friend of Sky Palace. Why

didn’t you come and say hi earlier?”

His words seemed to hint something between them. Josie felt her hand was on the verge

of being crushed by Dexter’s grip.

“That’s funny, Mr. Carter. How would I dare to bother you when you seem overwhelmed?”

Josie felt rebellious and hinted at something in her words. Arnold was an intelligent man

and instantly detected that something was wrong. “Overwhelmed?” Arnold muttered

before turning to Dexter. “Dexter, what a remarkable wife you have.”

Dexter responded coldly, “The same could be said about your wife.”

They did not linger and left after that.

Once they entered the car, Moses started the engine and raised the soundproof glass

partition, as Larry indicated.

Josie wrenched her hand free from Dexter in the backseat. Dexter looked at her face and

said firmly, “You are not to get involved in the matter between me and Arnold.”

She paused before replying, “It’s because he helped me…”

Dexter observed her briefly before saying, “You are not to care about Arnold’s survival

Josie sat still and muttered, “Survival? Are you planning to kill him?”

To Dexter, those words sounded like she cared about Arnold and desired to protect him.”
