Chapter 749 I Will Die if She Dies
Josie was about to say something, but when she noticed his damp hair, she was suddenly at a loss for
words.
The handover person wasn’t there when they reached the highway. Instead, a fleet of cars awaited them, gleaming under the car headlights.
The black cars were parked neatly next to each other, looking solemn and stern.
Arnold slowly breathed out and attempted to turn around. However, they were blocked from the back as well.
The well-trained bodyguards dressed in suits placed their hands in front of their bodies as they took their standing positions impassively.
“Arnold!”
A tall and burly man appeared from the car in the middle and stood quietly under the umbrella held by his men.
Josie instantly recognized him. It’s Wayne!
Arnold opened the car door, but she held his sleeves behind worriedly.
He shook his head and got out of the car. Under the rain, his facial feature looked even more charming. “Mr. Dalton, please let her go!”
Wayne stood with his hands in his pockets. His voice traveled across the rain firmly.
“Arnold, I can’t believe you also betrayed me.”
“It was never my intention.” Arnold replied as he held the car door.
Mr. Vipera blurted, “As long as you hand her over, Mr. Dalton will drop the matter. Don’t make the wrong choice, Arnold!”
However, Arnold gritted his teeth stubbornly.
“I knew she was Dexter’s wife. You’re too immature, Arnold. Giving up everything for her-is it worth it?” he asked slowly.
“She’s different. If she dies, I will die too!”
“Arnold!” Mr. Vipera cautioned anxiously.
Arnold straightened his back and looked at Wayne straight in the eye.
He was in a difficult position. After all, Wayne had helped him when he was at his lowest moments. Hence, Arnold’s actions were equivalent to biting the hand that once fed him.
Josie understood the situation. She took a deep breath before getting out of the car.
“Mr. Dalton, judging from the reverence people have for you, I’m sure you must be a magnanimous person. Arnold is being tricked by me; he has never intended to go against you, so please let him go!”

- Arfold exclaimed in a low voice.
However, Wayne ignored her completely and directed his words to Arnold. “When we first met, I knew you were a cold-blooded person. I never would have imagined you falling for a woman one day. It’s too disappointing.”
“I’ll do anything as long as you let her go!”
“You said the same thing over the past few years. It seems your words can’t be counted on anymore.” Wayne snorted coldly. “If you want me to let it go, think of a way yourself.”
With that, he turned around.
The bodyguards took a step forward, saying in unison, “Sorry in advance, Mr. Carter!”
Josie quickly walked to Arnold. “What are they doing?”
He pushed her behind him. “According to Mr. Dalton’s rules, we can leave as long as we survive this.”
Josie’s heart palpitated wildly. There were at least two dozen people. It was quite impossible for Arnold to win the fight.
The first wave of attack started before she could grasp the severity of the situation. The bodyguards threw their umbrellas away and charged at Arnold, directing their attacks on his vitals. Arnold avoided it agilely and broke the attacker’s wrist with a crack, followed by a kick after that. The bodyguard was sent flying backward, but the onslaught of attack never ceased. All Arnold could do was avoid their attacks and try to land some blows on them.
The sound of bodies clashing against one another reverberated in the rain.
Josie grabbed his shirt. In that precarious situation, she let out a sob.
“I can’t possibly leave, Arnold!”
