Arnold was indeed a savvy businessman, and this money was well invested.
Even if he couldn’t achieve his desired outcome, he could use the video later to
manipulate the dynamics between them at a critical moment.

“It’s a phone I bought for you on my way here. Open it and find out,” Dexter replied, a

Josie paused.
Dexter narrowed his eyes. “What’s up?”
Josie swiftly closed the document. “Are you snooping into the Bastille family?”
“Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will win every battle,” Dexter replied, leaning
down to fix her hair.
“How much do you know about the Bastille family?”
Josie chuckled, “Are you trying to gather intel from the ex-girlfriend of your enemy, who
