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.
Her words infuriated Robert. He tightened his grip on Josie. “You knew things were not easy for me. How dare you show up and provoke me? Do you wish to die?”
It was a shocking sight. The man who used to save lives as a doctor had turned into a man without regard. for human lives.
Josie hissed in pain and shouted, “Paul is missing!”
At those words, Robert suddenly loosened his grip. Josie could finally breathe.
“What did you say?”
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.
“That’s why I came to see you. Perhaps you might know who caused him to go missing.”
However, Robert was adamant. “I was a hospital director for ten years and have been in charge of La Oriele for another ten years. I understand the workings of both worlds. Don’t even think of trying to trick
me.”
“I know I can’t trick you. I just hope that you’re not deluding yourself.”
Josie was sure that he knew something. That was why he reacted this way.
She gradually walked to the door, but someone pushed it open and came in.
Arnold and a few men entered and stood before the door.

He had changed into new clothes. The top two buttons on his shirt were left undone, making him appear dashing and mature as he stood with his hands behind him.
One of his men flipped a switch, causing bright lights to flood the room, revealing a disheveled Josie
before him.
Seeing him. Josie rushed to hide behind him and whispered, “What brings you here?”
Arnold ignored her. He smiled as he walked towards Robert. “It’s been a long time, Mr. Quincy.”
Robert was furious that Arnold interrupted him. He glared at Josie and said, “Arnold, you lack basic courtesy. How dare you show up in La Oricle?”
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.
“Mr. Quincy, it doesn’t hurt to be merciful sometimes. Arnold got close to Robert, bringing the bottle down sharply, hitting Robert’s head with a distinct ‘bang Liquor splattered all over the place.
At the same time, Arnold’s men blocked the bodyguards from entering.
