Chapter 732 Connection to the Past
Robert’s expression turned grim. “What’s your name?”
“Josie Warren.”
“Josie Warren,” Robert muttered and suddenly recalled something. “Paul should never have adopted you. He wouldn’t listen no matter what anyone said. That’s what is causing all these troubles.”
His gaze turned ruthless. Josie had a bad feeling about this and immediately ran for the door. However, Robert suddenly dragged her back by her hair before she could get out and shoved her to the couch.
He used his walking stick to trap her there and was incredibly strong despite his age. Josie arched her back. in pain.
“Robert! You were a hospital director, yet you’re now the proprietor of a nightclub. You knew all too well. what you did to my father to get to where you are. Do you have no conscience? How dare you try to silence me? Argh!” Josie shouted.

Josie sensed the change in his demeanor. “I said he disappeared. I’ve used every means to search for him. but was unsuccessful. Otherwise, I would never have come to you.”
Robert stepped back. He seemed to be thinking.
“Why come to me? He was dismissed from the hospital more than a decade ago.” His face was covered with wrinkles.
“I suspect his disappearance might be connected to what happened then.”
Josie focused on Robert’s face as she spoke and caught an unmistakable flash of panic.

Arnold nodded and grabbed the bottle of liquor on the table. True, I’m lacking in courtesy. I will accept. punishment for interrupting your matter.”
He pushed Josie toward the door as he spoke.
However, Robert narrowed his eyes and snorted. “You think you can leave so easily?”
A group of bodyguards appeared and blocked Josie’s exit.
