Chapter 143
Samuel and Yu are good friends Maybe I can ask for Samuel’s help on this! No. I shouldn’t. I’ve decided not to bother Samuel anymore, thought Josie
“Mr. Comerstone, can’t you do me a favor? Hazel looked at Alex Cornerstone, the director of “A Pond of Reeds, with a smile on her face.
Tm afraid I cant help you with this. All I can say for now is that they will only choose either one of Ashley or Rebecca‘ Alex had informed them what he could.
The directing team was not a fool. Yuri chose Rebecca to be in this movie, and Henry and Hazel both highly recommended
Ashley.
In their opinion, the winner would be the one who was supported by the capitalist.
“Mr. Comerstone. Ashley is declared by Mr. Gibson as his fiancee. Mr. Gibson cares about her a lot, someone reminded him
Josie’s face darkened upon hearing this. “Are you trying to say that the final decision is in the hands of the Clusia Media Group’s CEO
It seemed that she had to have a chat with her boss.
Rebecca went all out to get a role in this movie. If Ashley won this time. it would be a demonstration that money could buy everything.
Josie, do you think the CEO of Clusia Media Group will offend Gibson Corporation for Rebecca’s sake!” Ashley smiled disdainfully. For her, she didn’t have to worry about it at all. She would be the female lead of “A Pond of Reeds” in the end.
“Ashley is not the best candidate in terms of acting skills and the degree of conformance to the character. I believe Mr. Cornerstone is a professional director, and A Pond of Reeds is not a playground for the capitalist Josie pulled the director into the spotlight
Alex was in a dilemma. Although Josie was a newcomer, his superior had personally informed him to be nice to her.
Honestly, he didn’t know who Josie really was
Im sorry. We have to listen to the CEO’s advice in the end. His decision is the ultimate say Alex sighed.
“I can’t afford to mess with any party under such a situation, thought Alex.
Jo, one can have excellent acting skills through training. I’ve seen Rebecca’s acting skills, and she doesnt look natural when she acts. Although she is hard–working, she’s not talented enough. Ashley, on the other hand, is a talented actor. She will have a bright future. Choosing her will be a win–win situation for her and Clusia Media Group, said Hazel with a smile. She was trying to persuade Josie to give up.
“I’m not sure what unique insights Ms. Locke has in talented actors. In my opinion, Rebecca has not only physical advantages but also talents. She is an extremely hardworking actor. She is not a celebrity or an actress with great publicity. but she loves this career and is willing to work hard.”
Josie’s v
s voice was extremely calm: She didn’t leave any room for objection.
Josie then turned to Alex and took out her phone. “Mr. Cornerstone, this is a video I took of Rebecca, Rebecca’s feet were cut by the stones in the paddy field when she was planting the rice. She then bandaged it and continued to work. She is already professional, even though we are currently going through the selection process. Hence, I believe Rebecca will do her best during the shooting”
Chapter 143
Josie then continued, “As for Ashley, Ms. Long, she covered herself with sun–protective gear and even regularly applied sunscreen. It’s understandable since she is a celebrity with excessive publicity. She needs to protect her flawless skin, after all, However, have you ever seen her in the paddy field without any shoes?”
Josie laid out her views in an indifferent tone.
“Josie! I wasn’t feeling well those days. Ashley tried to talk her way out.
“Will you use the same excuse again during the shooting?” Josie shot back at
Josie!”
shley without mercy.
Seeing that Ashley was going to quarrel with Josie, Alex hurriedly smoothed things over. “The CEO has the
the right to the final selection of the actress for that character. We will definitely give you all a satisfactory answer. Don’t worry; we will not give up any hardworking actors,”
“Mr. Cornerstone, Mr. Gibson is here!” Alex’s assistant ran in.
Josie and Hazel were surprised by it but said nothing.
Ashley, on the other hand, stood up excitedly, thinking that Henry had come to visit her.
Alex’s expression fell, as it would be harder to send Henry away if he couldn’t give the latter a satisfactory answer.
“Mr. Cornerstone, why don’t we choose Ashley for Henry’s sake? Rebecca doesn’t have any support from the capitalist. Besides, Josie is a newcomer.”
Alex had once again been put in a difficult position. He didn’t know who to choose.
“Mr. Cornerstone, Henry is here. You promised to tell us the casting results today, so please don’t go back on your own words. Ashley became daring now that she had her supporter with her.
“What a surprise, Mr. Gibson. What brings you to Frontier Bay? I heard that you got injured, so it’s a surprise that you would come here personally!” Alex and his assistant greeted Henry. Their sweary palms were due to nervousness.
In Alex’s view, Henry showed his care toward Ashley by being here. He didn’t know what he should do if Henry pushed for
an answer.
After walking into the room, Henry didn’t even look at those people. Instead, he looked at Josie with a complicated gaze. Josie was stunned for a moment, as she didn’t know why Henry would look at her in such a manner.
“Henry.” Ashley approached him nervously. She tried to hold Henry’s arm, but she failed.
“Come home with me.” At that moment, in Henry’s view, he was alone with Josie in that room. He walked toward her, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly. His voice was choked with sobs when he spoke.
Josie was caught off guard by Henry’s action, “What is he doing?” she wondered.
Everyone else was shocked by such a scene. They never expected to see anything going on between Henry and Josie.
After all, she was a newcomer.
“What kind of relationship do they share?” they wondered.
“Mr. Gibson, may I know your relationship with Ms. Yates?” asked Alex after mustering his bravery.
“My wife. Henry held Josie’s wrist, His fingers were wrapped around her wrist tightly. “If there’s nothing urgent going on. I
Chapter 143
would like to take her with me?
Alex and his assistant hadn’t regained their senses due to the shock they had experienced. “His wife?” they thought.
“Did we hear it wrongly?” they questioned in their hearts.
Their minds were still elsewhere when Henry left with Josie.
“I guess I heard it wrongly,” they thought.
Ashley’s eyes turned red with anger. Henry didn’t look at her once during the entire time.
Hazel, on the other hand, had been watching them from the side the entire time. Her eyes showed that she was in deep thought.
After getting into the car, Henry held Josie in his arms and refused to let
go.
Josie struggled hard to break loose. “What’s the matter with him?” she thought.
“What are you doing?” Josie frowned.
“Arthur..” Henry choked.
Josie stiffened, and her fingers started to tremble. “Arthur… What happened to him?”
Jo… I have no family left.” Henry’s voice was trembling,
Josie panicked after hearing that. She could no longer utter a word.
“Y–You can’t leave me… Henry tightened his grip around Josie, and his tears wetted her hair.
Josie sat quietly, as her mind was blank at that moment.
“Something must have happened to Arthur, she thought
After all, Arthur was in good shape when she and Henry met him the day before.
Henry even showed Arthur their marriage certificate to/cheer him up.
A day had only passed, and Arthur was gone forever.
His sudden death caught everyone by surprise.
Starting from fifteen years old, Josie slowly lost her family. First were her parents, then her grandpa. After that, she lost her
husband and child.
Now, Arthur, who cared for her, left her too.
It seemed that everyone had gone to heaven and waved to her there.
Humans became more and more lonely as they grew older..
Josie couldn’t help but wonder how long she would live.
She honestly didn’t have an answer t to that.
Josie’s mind went blank. She didn’t know what she was feeling at this moment.
12-23 Fri, TU May I

Henry, too, was silent, but he didn’t let go of Josie’s hand.
Josie had acute promyelocytic leukemia M3, but she never told anyone about it.
When Henry heard of this, fear started to swallow him.
DIMMERNE 59%
He never thought that one day he would have to choose between letting Josie go and letting her die. Honestly, he would let her go if she could live her life healthily and happily.
Henry didn’t want Josie to die.
Even though letting Josie go was hard, he could still find comfort in knowing she was alive and living healthily.
