Chapter 441 Let’s Meet Over Tea
Josie picked up the hair tie and saw a strand of long hair. It was blonde and curly, so Josie
was certain it didn’t belong to her.
This must have been left behind by someone who entered our hotel room. Besides, this
person is likely to be close to Dexter. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left her hair tie behind.
Julie asked. “Is there anything wrong?”
Josie put down the hair tie and shook her head with a smile. “Nothing
She slowed down her steps and went downstairs to see Dexter bending his body to
arrange the plants.
Josie sank into deep thoughts. Ever since he rescued her that night, she had not heard the
news of Eileen being implicated. However, the incident caused a sensation in the city.
Dexter seemed to no longer avoid the topic of his wife and even appeared to have the
intention to reveal Josie’s identity.
What about Summer? Is he not concerned about her anymore?
When Eileen’s father discovered that Eileen was involved in Norman’s incident, he threw a

were relieved after the storm subsided.
That night, after learning that Josie had been rescued, Eileen immediately went to her
father and begged him on her knees for protection. She knew she would be doomed since
Josie
didn’t die.
However, there were no actions taken against her even after a few days, so Eileen was
finally
at ease.
One day, she received Arnold’s invitation to meet on the top floor of the Carter Group.
Arnold uttered gently and charmingly, “Eileen, I owe you an apology for the previous
incident. Let’s meet over tea, so I can apologize to you personally, alright?”
Eileen’s heart pounded heavily as the grievances she had been suppressing the past few
days surfaced. “Arnold, do you… mean it?”
“Of course.”
The Carter Group’s office was equipped with top-notch facilities. A professional secretary
was assigned to show Eileen the way. “This way, please, Ms. Shaw.”
There was a spacious lounge inside Arnold’s office. Eileen cautiously entered the lounge to

Eileen suddenly felt like crying. The gentleman seated there was someone she had
admired for years.
Hearing the movement. Arnold smiled and took off his glasses. “Come here.”
Eileen snapped out of her daze and walked over nervously. She bit her lips and hummed.
“Hey, Arnold.”
“These tea leaves are imported from The Azores. Although they’re not from the most
precious tea plants, they’re rarely seen in recent years.”

Arnold filled her cup and held her hand. On her wrist was the Cartier bracelet he had given
her, and it covered her faint scar.
Arnold gently caressed the bracelet while Eileen trembled slightly.
He looked at Eileen with a half-smile. “You somewhat hate me, don’t you?”
Those who knew Arnold well knew that he was naturally cheerful and was rarely infuriated.
Even if he became angry, it wouldn’t show on the surface. Such emotion was like a slow-
acting poison that seeped in gradually. By the time the other party realized it, it would be
too late as he would have already put the person to death.
The business circle was full of bizarre happenings, and it was inevitable to encounter a few
who challenged Arnold’s authority. As such, he would punish those few heavily as a
warning to the others.
In fact, Arnold had personally taken action previously, and only Andy was aware of it.
He approached that person’s wife and child. Due to his outstanding appearance and
shrewdness, no woman could resist him if he intentionally pleased her.
It didn’t take long before he took down that person’s wife, who betrayed her husband
lightning-fast.
