NovelEnglishBlind Date Turned Proposal (Josie and Dexter)
Chapter 1024 Finding The ClueJosie fell silent, no longer willing to speak. She approached Rachel and said, "Listen, | know there are many things you haven't explained. | won't interfere with the rest, but | just want to know where Arnold hid my father, Paul. You know, don't you?" Upon hearing this, Rachel smiled faintly. "At this point, do you really think | would tell you? | wish nothing more than for you to suffer more than death, Josie." Josie's brows furrowed deeply, and her calm facade finally shattered. "Is it your intention to make my life a living hell? Rachel, don't you care about your own life anymore? If you providewith useful clues, | can persuade Dexter to let you go." "Letgo, and then what? | would end up dead, caught in the crossfire of spower struggle. | would rather stay here where it's safe, even if it means enduring shardship," Rachel taunted. "As far as | know, you've lost the use of half your limbs, haven't you? It rained heavily for days, and you were tied up for two of them.
Don't tellit didn't affect you." Upon hearing that, Josie couldn't help but clench her fists tightly.
Without any backing or leverage to threaten with, Rachel was truly at a loss with Josie. After a long while, she finally calmed down.

After hearing that, Rachel widened her eyes in disbelief. She hadn't expected Josie to be so reckless. "Are you out of your mind? He's just your foster father!" Is it really worth giving up Dexter for him? "We are forever indebted to our parents who raised us. | am willing to do anything for him," Josie declared, each word measured and deliberate.
She couldn't see, but the man outside the iron gate, upon hearing her words, didn't take another puff of his cigarette for a long time. He let the ember burn down to his fingertips, the searing pain jolting him back to reality, causing him to furrow his brow.
"How can | trust you? Even if | reveal the clues to you, you might still stick around," Rachel expressed doubtfully.
"Just as you said, as things have progressed to this point, | no longer have feelings for Dexter, and | certainly won't in the future. Therefore, there's nothing worth lingering over. All | want now is to find Paul and live a peaceful life." The two words 'no feelings' seemed nonchalant, but only Josie knew she uttered them with a certain reluctance.
Rachel still didn't believe it. "Even if you're willing to do this, Dexter might not be. He won't let you leave." "My heart is no longer with him. He won't forceto stay," said Josie.
Understanding Dexter all too well, she knew those words would hurt him.
Larry's call cthrough again. "Mr. Russell, we really can't wait any longer. Mr. Harrison is causing a scene in the conference room. He's rallying the board members to impeach you." Dexter closed his eyes for a moment.
"How can | trust you?" Rachel asked.

She paused for a moment. "Where is he?" "Russell Group had an urgent matter to attend to, so he left early," Moses quickly replied, fearing she might misunderstand. "But he will return.” Josie's gaze was distant and deep. "There's no need for him to return." Those were matters he was meant to handle. Speople are destined to shine within their own domain, not to stagnate for her sake.
Moses didn't understand. "Huh?" He thought everything had cto an end, that Josie should have been happily together with Dexter. Yet, things seemed to be growing increasingly unfamiliar.
Before Josie left earlier, Rachel mentioned that she had once seen the figure of Scar, accompanied by Paul, departing. They were headed for Rivodia.
Indeed, it was Rivodia.
