Chapter 744 The Most Dangerous Place

Chapter 744 The Most Dangerous Place“It’s too late to turn back now. I’ll worry about the consequences later,”
It was rare to see Arnold with such a stern expression. He looked intimidating.
Josie was stunned. All this while, she thought Arnold pretended to like her so that he could take
advantage of her. Yet, he braved this rainy night and risked his future and life to save her.
He had shown her so much kindness that she suddenly did not know how to face him.
Arnold carried Josie into his car and started driving. She asked anxiously, “Where are we going?”
He glanced at her and noticed the bruises on her arms and legs. “How did you get these injuries?”
Josie covered up her arms instinctively and looked down. “A thug came in the middle of the night. He…
he wanted to…”
She could not bear to continue. Even recalling the incident filled her with fear.
Arnold/understood what she meant. He steered the car and asked, “Did you see his face?”
“It was too dark to see, but I recall he was short.”
Josie looked outside and realized they had traveled a long distance. She gripped the door handle.
“Arnold, I don’t want to leave Rivodia yet.”
novelbinArnold sneered. “That wasn’t my plan.”
Josie was astonished.
Arnold parked the car at La Oriele’s back door. It was nearly dawn. There was no one around except a
few janitors.He took Josie upstairs to the third floor. Then, he opened the door to a presidential suite and locked it
securely after they entered.
Josie was anxious and scared. “Have you lost your mind? They are looking for us. How could you
come here?”
However, Arnold smiled and replied, “Judging from our situation, the most dangerous place is safest for
you.”
He went to the window and pulled the curtains together. “Wayne might investigate me, but he has no
reason to suspect Robert.”
Josie was stunned by the revelation.
She saw how disheveled Arnold looked. Thus, she grabbed tissues from the table and wiped his hands
for him. She smiled bitterly. “Are you that desperate to earn my favor? Why did you keep saving me?”
Arnold’s blood felt hot to the touch, reminding her of the life–and–death situation from a moment ago.
He reached for her hair with his clean hand and played with her strands. After some time, he finally
replied, “It’s so hard to earn your favor.”
Josie instinctively retreated from him and entered the bathroom to clean up.
Arnold was gone when she came out after a bath.
He must have many matters to attend to.
Josie calmed down. She lost her phone, so she picked up the landline phone in the room and hesitated
about calling Dexter. She ultimately decided against it.Wayne must be furious that she had escaped and likely started tracing her. As such, she could not
make this phone call and drag Dexter into this threat.
Thus, she had no choice but to suppress her longing for him.
Perhaps things might not have worsened to this extent if he were here.
Despite her trepidation, no one broke into the suite or bothered her the following day. However, Arnold
called her on the landline phone. “I’ve asked someone to send you an attendant’s uniform and makeup.
You should disguise yourself before leaving the suite to avoid triggering suspicion.”
Josie understood his instruction.
She did as he said and stayed hidden in this dangerous place.
She dressed as an attendant and left her room before entering an elevator. As the elevator door was
closing, she suddenly noticed a small hand trying to stop it.
Josie felt nervous and immediately rushed to stop the door from closing.
The little girl was small and was around four to five years old. She wore jeans and had neatly combed
long hair.
She rushed into the elevator and looked at Josie with big eyes. Her big eyes filled with gratitude.
“Thank you, miss!”
Josie glanced outside the elevator. “Are you here alone?”
The girl answered obediently, “I’m looking for my father.”
