Chapter 344 Overlooked Ivy
Alcohol? What kind of alcohol would require Arnold to go through all this trouble?
“Arnold is heavily entrenched in the nightlife scene, and with his connections and
influence, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to generate that amount of money. No?”
Dexter gestured casually and responded, “When it comes to alcohol, there’s a whole
spectrum to consider. Some of the finest quality, others just average, and let’s not forget
the shady side of things. Any thoughts. on which category of alcohol Arnold has found
himself entangled with?”
Josie pressed her lips together and asked, puzzled, “What will happen if he gets caught?”
Taken aback by her question, Dexter paused momentarily before mocking her, “Feeling
sorry for your boyfriend already?”
Ignoring his sarcastic tone, Josie remained unfazed as he held her hand, idly toying with it,
“Isn’t it a little too coincidental that the car accident happened just when it did? Even if I
were to deal with him, I couldn’t because he has a witness in his aid. So, does that mean
I’m supposed to surrender my wife to him?”

impossible for me to attempt anything against him. Do you know what that means?”
Josie trembled slightly. It was a little too late for her to finally understand why Andy
insisted on guarding the hospital. It was because of Dexter.
“Like I’ve told you before, Arnold is no kind soul,” Dexter let go of her.
Josie exited the car as soon as they arrived at the Russell Group. She was dazed during the
entire journey, and Dexter’s warning wasn’t entirely baseless; it had triggered a sense of
vigilance never had before.
“Ms. Warren,” somebody called out to her.
Josie turned around and saw Wyatt. He was dressed in a sharp suit, looking professional
and charming.
“Hey, Wyatt.”
Wyatt walked up to her and smiled. “I saw you getting out of Dex’s car just now, but I
didn’t want to get caught, so I didn’t dare call out.”
Josie forced a smile and asked, “How’s work been treating you lately?”
“Not too bad,” the two walked side by side, passing through the gate.
“We’ve been pulling long hours to meet the demanding deadlines set by Dex. On the
bright side, our collaboration with Auntie Xanthe is going great,” Wyatt purposely brought
up Xanthe, leaving Josie to piece together his hidden message.
“She… Has her son returned?”
Wyatt nodded, understanding her concern. “Don’t worry. He’s not back yet.”
He stopped there and didn’t say anything more.
As they passed the front desk, a greeting sounded, “Good morning, Ms. Warren. You have
a package.”
Josie went forward to claim it. It was a package sent by a collaborator.
She thanked the front desk and suddenly remembered something. “If I recall correctly,
you’ve been working the night shift recently, right?”
The front desk hesitated for a moment. “You have a good memory.”
Josie had a sudden realization. She mentioned a specific date. “During those days, besides
the night-owls stayed for over-time. Did you come across anyone suspicious entering or

“At night…..” The front desk frowned as she searched her memory. “Not that I remember…
Only employees who were given the ID could access Russell Group. It’s unlikely for anyone
to trespass the security,”
Unable to uncover any leads, Josie felt a sense of anguish.
To her surprise. Wyatt stood beside her, saying, “I have some recollection of the time you
mentioned. I remember that night, I had work to tend to, so I stayed until the wee hours of
the night. When I left the office, I bumped into Ivy in the elevator. She was wearing a mask
and a hat, and it didn’t seem like she was coming to work.”
Juy?!
Josie’s eyes widened, and a realization struck her. How could she have possibly forgotten
about Ivy?
“Do you remember the exact time?” Josie grabbed his hand.
“I’m not entirely sure, but it was likely around dawn. Strangely, she ended up on the same
floor as the design department.”
Josie couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. She nodded in realization and exclaimed, “Ah,
now it all makes. sense! Thanks a bunch!”
Despite searching everywhere, she had somehow overlooked Ivy.
