Chapter 713 Suspecting Wyatt

A sudden notion dawned on her.

Could it be that beyond some of the Russell family, Pop had attracted adversaries? But his

life and connections were uncomplicated, and she couldn’t seem to come up with anyone

who might bear a grudge against him.

Past disputes, maybe? But her knowledge of Pop’s history was limited. Anxious thoughts

churned within. Josie. After some contemplation, she retrieved the medical qualification

certificate with the bold ‘Rivodia City Hospital’ written on the box.

“Mrs. Russell, Mr. Russell instructed us to keep you within Mason Garden…..”

The servant stood by the doorway, attempting to obstruct her exit.

“I just spoke with him. He’s fine with me going out.”

The servant was skeptical. “Well… unless Mr. Russell confirms that, we can’t permit you to

leave….”

Given Josie’s feeble condition, her ashen appearance suggested a gentle breeze could

knock her over. Josie was darn sure Dexter wouldn’t entertain her request even if she

reached out to Dexter.

Taking a deep breath, she had no choice but to retreat to her bedroom.

There was an external staircase extended from the bedroom balcony. However, the door at

the base was locked. She’d need to climb over the wall if she wanted to escape this

dungeon.

Josie descended the stairs carefully and was just about to hoist herself over the wall when

the servant noticed her. “Mrs. Russell! Stop right there!”

She was already halfway up the wall..

Upon hearing the plea, she summoned a final burst of energy, managed to clear the wall’s

edge, and landed on the other side. “I’ll talk to Dexter. Don’t follow me!”

With those words, she jumped down, tumbling onto the grass due to the momentum. Her

ankles throbbed, and she limped away.

Before pulling away from Mason Garden, Josie dialed Dexter’s number. She was

determined to take action and fill him in later. However, he only picked up right before the

call disconnected. “Hello.”

It was the same woman’s voice as before. Josie had identified her by now. She kept her

query concise. “Where’s Mr. Russell?”

“Mr. Russell is occupied.”

Then make sure you let him know I’ve left Mason Garden. I’m heading to find Wyatt.”

Sounds of scribbling filled the other end. “Noted.”

With that confirmation, Josie hung up.

Her first destination was Carter Residence. Andy, spotting her, was taken aback. “Mrs.

Russell? What’s… Aren’t you worried about angering Mr. Russell?”

Josie’s brows knitted. I’m looking for Arnold.”

“Mr. Carter isn’t here.”

“Why the charade?” While waiting outside, she noticed the illuminated interior of Arnold’s

office.

Josie surged ahead.

“Hey! Mrs. Russell! You can’t just enter…” Andy attempted to stop her, employing minimal

force and lacking any serious intention of preventing her.

A subtle scent of red wine in the air.

Arnold’s features were striking, yet his smile held an intriguingly dangerous charm.

“Turning my office into a club, huh? Come as you wish. Barge in, and no knocking

necessary, huh?”

Josic stepped closer, her hands resting on the desk, her expression intense.

“Where’s Wyatt?”

Arnold casually picked up a pen and toyed with it. “Why are you asking me? He’s a

Russell, not a Carter. How would I know?”

“Let me rephrase. Where’s

my

father?”

This time, he halted the pen’s twirl and regarded her seriously. “Your father’s missing? You

got suspicions that Wyatt’s got his hands dirty?”

Arnold’s mind raced. “You’re not saying I had Wyatt on my leash and gave him

instructions, are you?”

“Is that not the case?”

“Of course not!” He retorted swiftly.

“I don’t believe you!”

Arnold chuckled. “So, anything unfortunate related to you must be my doing, right? You

asked, I answered, and then you doubted my response. What exactly are you expecting

from me?”

“Wyatt is alone and stranded in Wavery. You’re his only lifeline, his only hope. Besides,

you’ve met him. before. I can’t believe there’s no collusion between you two.”

Josie’s tone grew frostier with every word.

“Arnold, I’ll ask one more time. Where is he?!”
