Chapter 731 Questioning the Past
Josie breathed a sigh of relief. She made a gamble and succeeded.
Then, she got up quickly and smiled. “See, I wasn’t lying.”.
Moses wanted to go with her, but someone stopped him. “You can’t go.”
“Josie!”
Josie pursed her lips. She smiled and hinted, “Mr. Quincy and I are old friends. You can leave first.”
Moses appeared nervous. Although unwilling, he had no choice but to watch Josie leave with those men.
Once they reached the third floor, the noise from the ground floor disappeared. There was only silence. One of the men opened a door, revealing Robert seated on a couch. His hair had turned gray, and he had a kind and gentle expression.
The man pushed Josie into the room. “Mr. Quincy, she’s here.”
Josie stood straight. “Please leave. I wish to talk to Mr. Quincy alone.”
The men refused to move until Robert waved his walking stick. “Leave.”
“Mr. Quincy… This woman might be up to something!”
“She’s only a woman. What can she do to me? Get out.
The men had no choice but to close the door.
After they left, Robert looked at Josie closely before saying. “I don’t know you.”
Josie frowned. “You should know who I am.”
She was not lying. She had some memories of the people in the hospital when she left it with Paul.
Her solemn tone prompted Robert to frown. “What’s your name?”
“You might not remember anything even if I tell you my name, but there’s someone you will remember.”
“Who?”
“Paul Warren.”
Robert’s expression changed when he heard the name. He no longer looked kind or gentle.
“It’s been over a decade, and you still remember your old friend. Nostalgic, isn’t it?” Josie concluded.
Robert realized something. “Are you Paul’s daughter?”
Josie did not deny it. “Didn’t I say we were acquainted? You even carried me when I was a kid.”
Robert sneered. Conflicting emotions reflected in his eyes. “I didn’t expect him to raise you.”
Josie’s expression turned grim

“It seems you didn’t grow up in Rivodia. Do you know what happened to those who dared to dabble with drugs on my premise?” Robert’s expression turned fierce and ruthless.
“I wouldn’t dare. Besides, it wasn’t a drug. It was only a pack of candy.” Josie sat beside Robert and continued. “It’s amazing that you can keep drugs out of your nightclub. You maintained a clean reputation. like when you were a hospital director. How could I bear to damage your image?”
Robert ignored her flattery. He took the glass of wine from the table before him and gave it to Josie. “What are you here for?”
Josie glanced at it before shoving it to the floor, causing it to fall loudly. Then, she grabbed the bottle of strong liquor on the table and gulped it down.
Robert watched her.
She finished the whole bottle and threw it to the floor. “I downed a bottle of liquor as an apology for causing a scene at your premise.”
Josie was not good with alcohol but drank it for Paul’s sake.
Robert guessed her intention and brought another bottle of alcohol, pointing it at her. “Kneel and drink this.”
Josie remained in her seat. “Mr. Quincy, how can you be so cruel to an old friend?”
“I’ll call someone to send you out.” Robert seemed displeased with her words.
Thus, Josie took the liquor bottle from him and replied. I’ll drink this, but you have to answer my question.”
This sounds like a losing deal to me.”
“Why did you terminate my father from his position? You can choose whether to answer this. I’ll drink this liquor if you do.”
Robert narrowed his eyes. “Miss, it’s so long ago. I can’t remember anything. You don’t have to drink anymore. Go home.”
Josie clenched the liquor bottle. “I don’t believe you. You were shocked when I mentioned my father’s name.”
