Chapter 100
“Are you trying to poison everyone?” Josie frowned and did not know what Henry wanted to do.
“It looks easy…” Henry realized how difficult it was to cook.
Before that, it was Josie who prepared the food for him.
Josie ignored Henry and went to the kitchen. She said apologetically, “Adeline, please make the dishes again. Make something that is nutritious for Arthur.”
I can learn.” Henry did not give up..
“Mr. Gibson, there is no need for someone like you to learn cooking at all.” Josie thought it was unnecessary for Henry.
“I said… I will change slowly.” Henry lowered his head and wanted Josie to give him a chance.
He would become better slowly.
“Then, I’ll congratulate Ashley on getting a better husband, said Josie bitterly. She knew someone had to make Henry learn to grow up.
She felt she was remarkable for doing that in a sarcastic way.
“Josie! I said that I had nothing to do with Ashley. I didn’t say that I would marry her. I cooperated with them to do publicity stunts, but now it has been clarified. How long are you going to quarrel with me?” questioned Henry.
Henry was in a bad mood because he failed to make the oatmeal. He was even more agitated when Josie triggered him.
“I don’t want to make a scene with you. Don’t yell at me. We’ve divorced. I’m not your wife anymore, so you don’t have the right to yell at me.” Josie took a deep breath and turned around to leave.
Henry grabbed Josie’s wrist and pulled her into the bedroom regardless of her objection
“What the hell do you want?” Josie was unable to struggle,
“Remarry me. I’m begging you” Henry really regretted it. He regretted the divorce.
Josie fumed, “I finally got out of trouble. Do you want me to jump into it again? Henry, I’ve already fallen into it once, and I won’t do that again even if I die.”
“Josie, do you think you can escape?” Henry pinched Josie’s chin and added, “Arthur should have told you that Grandpa John left a will before he died. You have absolute control of Gibson Corporation.”
So you remarried because of that will?” Josie felt that Henry could always tear her to pieces.
Henry could not wait to remarry. It turned out the hidden danger he was afraid of all along was the will.
“Henry, I can apply to revoke the will. Everything you have now is all yours. Can you spare me?” Josie tried to beg Henry.
“It has nothing to do with the will! Henry did not know what to say to make Josie believe him.
“Do you know that you are in a dangerous situation now? I thought you wanted to make a scene when you asked to divorce. I can still protect you and let you do anything you want, muttered Henry.
He thought Josie would behave obediently and return to him after venting out.
Chapter 100
Henry sounded very anxious. “But how long can I protect you? It’s not just the Taibbi family that is targeting you. Jo, stop it, please? I also said I would change. Your goal has been achieved.”
He thought Josie should know when to stop pushing.
“Henry, do you love me?” Josie asked Henry the same question again.
Previously, it was because of her obsession. At that moment, it was because of irony.
For whatever reason, it was pitiful for Henry to trap a woman he did not love.
Henry stared at Josie with his breath frozen. Whenever she asked him that question, he felt something choke in his throat.
It was not that Henry did not love her. He did not know how to express it.
“I’ll try to love you.” It was the biggest promise Henry could give Josie.
He would try to love Josie
Before Josie returned to the Gibson residence, the psychologist said Henry suffered from a severe mood disorder.
He would be manic, easily irritated, and extremely possessive. He could not even understand others‘ grief.
The trauma of Henry’s childhood prevented him from truly moving on from the past, and fear was always enveloping his whole life
Henry was more mature, steady, and calm–minded than his peers. However, his rationality made him look immensely indifferent.
The doctor told him he should try to make friends, sincerely treat the people around him, and feel their differences. Henry could not blend in. He always felt that everything around him was incompatible with him.
Henry thought Samuel was childish. He would disdainfully reckon that all the courses taught by the teacher were simple since he could understand them at one glance.
He faced everyone indifferently. Even if a servant in his home fell from the stairs and bled, he could walk over indifferently.
Henry always knew that the servants in the Gibson residence were afraid of him. No one wanted to get close to him and care about him except Arthur.
It
was only ten years ago that Josie returned to the Gibson family.
The sad and depressed little girl curled up in the corner and only trusted Henry.
Jo, I will protect you,” said Henry.
Henry’s first form of affection for Josie was his desire to protect her.
But, the desire changed.
Henry began to become paranoid, and his possessiveness slowly eroded his mind.
Josie belonged to him as if the concept had been deeply rooted in Henry’s mind from the beginning.
It was why he never worried that Josje would leave or flee from him
He never thought that he would lose Josie one–day.

Chapter 100
Henry unscrupulously tied Josie to his side. He treated her like a dispensable object and was used to neglecting her.
Henry assumed that Josie would never leave.
“No need, Henry. Don’t try to love me. I’m already hurt,” said Josie with irony. Her words brought back Henry’s senses.
Henry was breathing heavily. “You are mine…”
At that moment, Henry understood that Josie was like oxygen to him.
He often ignored the existence of oxygen but would suffocate if there was no oxygen.
It was really terrible hindsight.
In Charles’s residence, Elijah was talking to Charles.
“Spike, that crazy man! How dare he hire someone to knock me over?” Charles had almost recovered but was forced by his father to stay at home. Charles was not allowed to go out..
“Don’t mess with that crazy man of the Taibbi family. I’ve warned you many times!” Elijah scolded his son angrily and paced in a circle before continuing, ‘Quinton has returned. Spike’s intention is very clear, that is, to let Quinton marry Josie.”
“It’s ridiculous. Is that playboy worthy of Josie?” Charles snorted.
It took him a lot of effort to make Josie divorce Henry. He did not want to hand over Josie to that kind of playboy.
Elijah frowned and sat aside. “Don’t underestimate Spike. Even Henry doesn’t dare to provoke him. Hayden’s death has something to do with him.”
“I won’t let Josie marry such a person, nor will Josie agree.” Charles was a little worried.
Spike was warning Charles by planning the car accident.
Even if Charles made the police report, the police would charge the driver at most. Without sufficient evidence, it was an ordinary car accident.
After all, no one died.
“Don’t be overconfident. If Josie didn’t marry anyone before the Thibbi family made a move on her, she had no choice. From now on, don’t mess with that crazy man of the Taibbi family. Elijah glanced at Charles.
“Dad! Jo is like a sister to me. I can’t stand aside and do nothing when she gets in danger again!” Charles was a little annoyed.
“Do you really think of yourself as Josie’s brother when she called you Charlie? Your grandfather treated John Gibson as his own brother, and what happened? Did we get preferential treatment?” Elijah snorted, apparently not convinced of Henry being the head of the Gibson family.
Elijah was still complaining. “He handed Gibson Corporation to an outsider rather than someone who had been working with him!”
“Obviously, Dad, you’re not that capable, Charles whispered to rebuke his father.
“What are you talking about? You’re taking sides with outsiders!” Elijah raised his hand and slapped Charles‘ back, but he held back his strength.
“Dad, how will Spike threaten Josie?” Charles was worried.
Elijah answered, “It depends on what Josie cares about…
