Chapter 137
“Jo is at my place, Henry told Samuel bluntly. “She will come home and live with me in the future.””
“Let Josie answer the phone,” Samuel said in a deep voice.
“It’s over. I don’t want to play any games with you anymore…” When Josie said she chose Samuel, Henry had already made up his mind.
“Henry! How much do you want to hurt her?”
“When you have the ability to compete with me.” Henry smiled bitterly. At least he could hand Josie to Samuel safely when Samuel had the capability to protect her. “It’s time. Nina should be looking for you.”
At that time, Samuel was at his residence.
As soon as Samuel hung up the phone, Nina called. “Samuel! Come home quickly. Grandpa said that Gibson Corporation wanted to develop the land of the Santalum residence and tear down Santalum Alley.”
Samuel’s heart suddenly tightened. Santalum Alley was Lewis‘ obsession and what Lewis and John cared about the most.
When John took over the development rights of Santalum Alley, it was natural that Santalum Alley wouldn’t be disturbed because of John and Lewis‘ close friendship. However, now that John was gone, Gibson Corporation suddenly wanted to develop that land.
Obviously, Henry was warning Samuel
During this period, Henry suddenly played fair competition with Samuel, which almost made Samuel forget the fact that Henry was crazy.
At the rental place, Zachary came home quietly and didn’t dare to turn on the lights, for fear that someone would notice
that he was there.
There were also ingredients and milk bought by Josie in the refrigerator, and Zachary smiled unknowingly.
He seldom smiled. With the scar on his face, children would cry when they saw him.
After taking out the milk, Zachary poured it into a glass and drank it. It was very sweet.
His injured body was better, and his movements were not so limited anymore.
“Zach, Ashley is still in the crew. You are targeted by the police. Don’t act rashly.”
It was Zachary’s friend on the phone.
“I’ve infiltrated Xanfield’s gang now. The people raised by Spike are everywhere. They are all outlaws. Most of them are in debt, and some of their families are broken. In short, as long as they can fight and don’t care about their lives, Spike will spend money to raise them.” On the other end of the phone, it seemed inconvenient to speak. “Everyone who comes in will be monitored, but once you get familiar with it, you can recommend someone. By then, I’ll find a way to help you get in.”
“Be careful. Zachary was worried.
Zachary knew this friend during the years of his escape. Zachary’s parents were forced to die because of their debts, and he was alone and helpless.
It seemed that the people raised by Spike were people without background, parents, or fear of death.

Chapter 137
After hanging up the phone, Zachary hid on the balcony and smoked again. He was afraid of contaminating Josie’s room.
The fireworks flickered, which made Zachary’s eyes begin to drift away.
Spike had been monitoring Josie. Zachary’s life was meaningless, so there was no big difference between him being alive or
dead
As long as Ashley’s true face was exposed, the only meaning of Zachary’s life was to atone for his sins.
It was to atone for his sins toward Josie.
He must get into Spike’s gang.
It was said that Spike would choose people regularly to be his personal bodyguards. If he could be trusted by Spike, he might be able to help Josie and get Spike’s criminal evidence.
At Henry’s house, Josie was still hiding in the bathroom. Henry pulled out the peripheral venous catheter and walked in.
“I’m sorry… Jo, I was wrong in the past three years.” He apologized unexpectedly. “No matter what the hardship is, I’m still wrong” Henry didn’t want to make excuses anymore.
Josie was shocked by Henry’s initiative to apologize. He never admitted that he was wrong.
Even during their divorce, he didn’t take any initiative.
If Henry apologized then, she might have become softhearted.
But Henry didn’t.
Now that they had divorced, Josie finally made up her mind to start a new life. There was no point for Henry to start pestering her and admitting his faults.
“Don’t touch me…” Josie looked at Henry vigilantly.
Henry squatted in front of Josie. The back of his hand was bleeding when there was no pressure applied to it.
Jo, I won’t force you to remarry again. No matter who you choose, it’s your freedom, okay?” Henry’s voice was soft.
“You’re lying. I won’t believe you, Josie said in a strained voice. She looked at Henry, and her eyes were red and swollen.
Henry was always lying.
He said he would not force her, but he would do it every time.
“Jo… Believe me just this once.” Henry raised his hand and wiped away the tears on Josie’s face..
He forced her to this extent. It turned out that he would also feel heartbroken.
“But I got one condition, he added.
Josie stared at Henry with burning eyes. When he said that, her heart sank hopelessly.
She knew Henry wouldn’t do what he said.
“Since you dare to agree to Quinton’s fake marriage, do you dare to pretend to forgive me and remarry me?” Henry’s fingers were trembling as well as his voice.
Liar” Josie was out of control. She exclaimed inwardly, “Henry! I knew he was a liar!”
Chapter 137
Jo!” Seeing that Josie was about to run away, Henry pulled Josie into his arms in panic and hugged her tightly. He said with a low voice. “Just pretend to forgive me. I promise you… We are just pretending to remarry. I won’t touch you… As long as we can fool Spike, he would definitely take the next step. He will definitely reveal his vulnerabilities if he’s in a hurry.”
“Impossible!” She would never remarry him.
“Jo… Did I really make you so desperate? Or are you afraid of falling in love with me again?” Henry’s heart ached and his whole body tightened.
“What exactly can I do to make up for my mistakes?” he wondered.
“Henry. I won’t remarry you. I won’t!” Josie was still out of control as if the idea of remarriage was more painful than killing her.
“As long as you agree to the fake remarriage and give Spike the punishment he deserves,
our cooperation will be terminated. In good faith, I can immediately transfer the ownership of the Santalum residence and Santalum Alley to you.”
Josie’s struggling body suddenly froze, and she looked back at Henry with complicated eyes.
He suddenly mentioned the Santalum residence and Santalum Alley.
That was what Lewis cared about most.
As expected, Henry was threatening her again. “What did you do to the Turner family?”
“I’m just going to develop that area. If you agree, the Santalum residence and Santalum Alley will be yours. As long as you. don’t agree, no one can develop there.” Henry’s voice was still trembling.
“Henry…..Are you going to threaten me until the day I die?” Josie sat weakly on the cold ground with her hands down.
She stopped struggling.
“We’re just cooperating. After the settlement of Spike, our marriage will automatically terminate. I will ask the lawyer to draw
up a prenuptial agreement. At that time, no matter where you want to go or what you want to do, I will not interfere again.”
Henry stood up against the wall and walked out of the bathroom step by step.
No one knew how much determination it would take for him to make this decision.
“There is another condition. Don’t tell Samuel that. If he knows we are just remarrying out of cooperation, I think both the Turner family and I will suffer.” Henry smiled weakly. “If Samuel really loves you and deserves your trust, he will wait.”
“You’re an asshole! I hate you! I hate you!” Josie cried and threw everything out of the bathroom.
Henry hid in the corner and closed his eyes weakly.
He had to make sure that Samuel was really worthy to be depended on by Josie.
Henry wanted to see if he could hand Josie to Samuel without worry.
Zachary said that Samuel was the most suitable one for Josie.
But Samuel was too well protected by the Turner family and grew up too slowly.
Thus, Henry had to help Samuel grow up.
