Chapter 145
Josie’s phone rang. It was Madelyn.
Josie quickly answered it. “Máddy…” Her voice trembled as fear overwhelmed her.
“Jo, I’m heading back to Hofcaster soon. Do you miss me?”
Josie’s breath was trembling violently. Upon hearing that Madelyn was fine, tears burst out in an instant. “Well…”
*T’ll be on the plane soon. Don’t miss me too much. See you tomorrow.” Madelyn sounded very happy. It seemed that she was not threatened in any way.
After hanging up the phone, Josie stared at Quinton angrily. “How dare he fool me?” she thought.
Quinton laughed, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Henry, who was fighting with the bodyguards.
“Mr. Gibson, it seems that I have to bring at least four to five bodyguards to protect myself from someone as violent as you,” said Quinton with a smile after standing up. “We shouldn’t disturb the dead’s peace. Let’s go.”
After saying that, he walked past Josic.
“Today is just a warning. Do you think that you can have a peaceful life by remarrying Henry? That’s the stupidest decision you’ve made.”
Quinton left without fear.
Panicked, Henry stretched out his hand and pulled Josie into his arms, holding her tightly.
Seeing these rascals messing with Josie was his worst fear.
“If it weren’t because I have a weakness, I would kill Quinton without hesitation,” he thought.
Henry frowned and gave an order to the men behind him, “Follow him.”
The men nodded and quickly caught up with Quinton.
“What did he say?” Henry looked at Josie worriedly.
“Madelyn. He threatened to hurt Madelyn, Josie’s hands were still shaking.
“It’s okay… It’s over now.” Henry patted Josie’s back to comfort her. “Cecilia, please take Jo home.”
After Cecilia left with Josie, Henry rubbed his temples, which were throbbing in pain.
“So, this is the protection you’re giving her? Charles satirized Henry.
Henry glanced at Charles coldly and said in a deep voice, ‘Charles, let’s cooperate.”
Charles froze for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrongly. “What did he just say?” he thought.
“Did Henry say he want to work with me?” he questioned himself.
Charles never expected that someone as arrogant as Henry would want to work with him.
“Cooperation? I think you need my help, Charles sneered.
Chapter 145
“Yes. Henry frowned.
Charles chuckled. Tve never seen anyone beg for help with such an attitude,” he thought.
In an instant, Charles straightened his body and put on an arrogant mask. “What’s your plan? You want my help to deal with Spike?*
Henry didn’t respond to it, as they were in the wrong place to discuss such a matter.
Charles snorted and deliberately made things difficult for Henry. “It’s not impossible to cooperate. You know what I want in
return.”
“You can come to get it if you’re truly capable.” Henry walked past Charles with determination in his eyes.
As long as Charles could help him achieve his goal, he would let the latter get what he wanted.
“You…” Charles‘ mind went blank for a moment. At that moment, he couldn’t help but think that Henry’s indifferent gaze seemed scary.
“What is his plan exactly?” Charles wondered.
“Did you and Josie really remarry?” Charles followed Henry. He was worried that Henry and Josie’s decision would cause Spike to act irrationally.
“Yes.” Henry nodded.
“Wow. It took a lot of effort to force you and Josie to get a divorce. I even worked with Ashley to achieve it. I can’t believe you. two remarried in such a short period.” Charles squinted his eyes. Since you two have remarried, I will try to take away the things that would cause Josie to suffer, Charles thought.
Henry halted in his tracks. He then looked at Charles. “What did you just say?”
“The celebrity who always follows you everywhere came looking for me one day. She told me she knew how to end your and Josie’s marriage. Since that was what I wanted, I supported her.” Charles didn’t seem uncomfortable when he told Henry
the truth.
He wouldn’t have burned the bridges, but Ashley had broken the rule.
After all, she had been trying to hurt Josie multiple tinies.
“What are you talking about?” Obviously, Henry didn’t want to believe him.
“You trust your love very much, don’t you? jo divorced you because you care about another woman too much.” Charles pointed at Henry’s heart. “Do ask yourself if you truly care about Josie. You trust and care for Ashley more.”
Henry didn’t say anything.
“I know you don’t believe me. Anyway, I’m a careful man. What kind of evidence do you prefer? Do you want audio or video? By the way, I also found out about the person who set up Josie at Harmony Supermarket. It wasn’t Thomas who looked for help from Eastern Corporation to set Josie up. Ashley was the one who did it. I have the recording of Eastern Corporation’s Human Resource Department manager’s confession. I can give it to you.
Charles wanted to see Henry defeated.
Henry had never lost or suffered any frustration since he was a child.
However, his relationship with Josie wasn’t plain sailing.
Chapter 145
Love would never last for an eternity. It would disappear eventually if one kept wasting it.
Charles wasn’t sure, but he vaguely noticed that Henry was no longer the center of Josie’s world.
Henry didn’t say anything. He just stood there in frustration.
For the first time. Charles had the joy of being the winner, but this feeling of revenge didn’t make him happy for long.
He plotted to divorce Josie and Henry because the latter treated her badly.
Now, Charles didn’t know whether he should continue to stop Josie from being with Henry, since she chose to remarry him.
For now, he hoped that Henry could learn about Ashley’s true colors and treat Josie better.
Josie arrived at her rental apartment. She didn’t return to Henry’s house.
The house was very clean, and the refrigerator had been emptied. It seemed that Zachary had left.
Josie couldn’t find any trace of Zachary living here before. She then curled up on the couch.
Click!
The door lock sounded.
Josie glanced at the door vigilantly. She panicked..
Only Zachary and Samuel knew that she left the keys underneath the floor mat.
“Samuel couldn’t have known that I’m here,” she thought
Josie stood up nervously and hid.
The door was then flung open, and Samuel came in.
He sat on the couch for a while. He didn’t know why he would return to the rental apartment.
Samuel couldn’t deny the fact that Josie and Henry had remarried, as well as the fact that he had no confidence in getting her back.
Samuel leaned weakly on the couch and looked at the ceiling in a daze.
It seemed that he and Josie were destined to be apart from each other.
He was willing to wait for her forever, but Josie refused to look at him or take a step toward him.
If she had taken a step forward, he would try his best to run to her side, no matter how hard things would be.
Unfortunately, Josie never gave him a chance to prove himself.
Josie carefully looked at Samuel, who was lying on the couch from behind the door.
“Why is he here? Is he here to escape reality as well?” she wondered.
Looking at how disappointed he was, Josie felt sorry for him.
She wanted to step out of the dark and hug him, but she couldn’t, as it would be inappropriate.
Josie hid quietly, while Samuel sat quietly
Chapter 145
They were close to each other, but there was a huge gap between them that could not be crossed.
From time to time, Josie couldn’t help but wonder how good it would be if she could turn back time.
She wanted to go back to the past. She wanted to stop her parents from returning to the Gibson family and meet Samuel at Reef Village.
She knew Samuçi. would attend the Reef Village Summer Camp, and they would meet for the first time there. If it weren’t because of all the happenings, misunderstandings, and schemes they both had gone through now, they would be together, and she would trust him wholeheartedly. He would make her happy, and she would smile every day.
He would spoil her and make her the proudest princess ever.
Unfortunately, it was all a dream.
