Chapter 109
At Samuel’s house, Josie dropped her hands and whispered, “I’ll go home first. I’ll wash your clothes before returning them
tomorrow.”
“Jo..” Samuel instinctively grabbed Josie’s wrist “Stay here for the night. I can sleep on the couch.”
He was worried that Josie would be home alone. Madelyn had called to tell him that she was away on a business trip.
I’m feeling much better now. Josie did not know what else to do. She hung her head low and left abruptly.
Samuel did not want to push her too hard, so he merely walked her to the door. “Call me if you need anything.”
Josie smiled at Samuel and closed the door.
Hiding behind the door, it was only after a while that Josie’s heart started to pound normally.
Josie had never had someone who cared for and protected her ever since she was 15 years old.
Humans are emotional beings. She knew very well who was good to her.
After turning on the air conditioner, Josie curled up in the blanket and fell asleep.
On the same day, there was a huge uproar on the Internet. Clusia Media Group was also affected to a certain extent.
Samuel scrolled through the news and the comments from the netizens. Everyone said that Josie, an agent of Clusia Media Group, had pushed someone into the water.
Fortunately, someone had taken a video of Ashley pushing the newcomer Sebastian down the stairs earlier. Hence, the netizens were split into two camps, each with their version of the story.
Samuel’s face darkened. He then gave Yuri a call. “Have you found out anything about that matter?”
Who was the one who destroyed the barrier?
Moreover, there was a guardrail by the lake, which had also been dismantled.
Was it just a coincidence?
“I’ve sent the video footage from the surveillance camera to you. It was a very tall man. When the commotion among the fans occurred, he was among the crowd. However, his target was not Josie. Look at the video carefully. He had pushed Ashley from behind. When Josie fell into the water, he tried to grab hold of her but could not.”
Samuel was stunned for a moment. This matter was more complicated than he thought.
“I can’t see his face clearly in the video.” Samuel turned on the computer and looked at the video.
In the video, one could only vaguely see that it was an extremely tall man wearing a cap. Although he stood out easily in the crowd, his face could not be seen.
“Somehow, I find him familiar. Samuel’s fingers felt a little cold.
He seemed to have seen the man before.
Samuel played the video in slow motion, and he could tell that Ashley was the man’s target.
“Ashley’s agent also took a copy of this video. It’s strange that when the police wanted to investigate further. Thomas decided Chapter 109
not to pursue the matter. He said it could be a crazy fan who did that. From the looks of it, Thomas may know who the culprit is.”
Samuel frowned. Why did Thousas decide to stop the investigations?
If someone wanted to cause harm to Ashley, would he not want to pursue the matter?
“That won’t do. Post the video on the Internet. I don’t want Josie’s reputation to suffer one bit. Samuel’s eyes darkened.
Yuri thought for a while and finally said, “Henry also took a copy of the video. Someone had blocked the view in the video. It’s not clear whether Ashley was the one who pushed Josie
“Okay, got it. Let’s find out more about this man first.”
Meanwhile, Henry leaned against the bed in his house. He studied the video which was playing on his computer. His face looked grim.
It was Zachary…
It seemed that Zachary still refused to let Ashley and Josie off after such a long time.
“Mr. Gibson, Ashley saw the video too. I’m sorry. I accidentally showed her the video. She is very scared now and keeps crying. Can you come and see her?”
Henry had ignored both Ashley and Thomas’ calls. However, Thomas had been very persistent.
“You’re her manager. If you can’t take care of her, then get lost. I can always find someone to replace you.” Henry was extremely annoyed. Although he could not vent his anger on Ashley, he did not want to put up with Thomas,
As Ashley’s agent, not only did he not keep a close watch on her, but Thomas also did not jump in to save Ashley when she fell into the water. Instead, the first thing he did was call Henry
“Henry… After a long silence, Ashley started crying on the other end of the phone. “Henry, I’m scared. Please come over. Please?”
The bodyguard is outside. There’s nothing to be afraid of Henry rubbed his forehead to calm himself down.
“Henry, I’m really scared. What if he comes to the hospital tonight? What if he comes for me?” Ashley was sobbing non-stop.
Henry had a headache, but he still got out of bed. “I’ll go over now.”
Downstairs in Josie’s residential area, a tall man wearing a cap looked up at the floor where Josie was staying,
The scar above his eye was so hideous-looking that it made him look more terrifying.
Josie… The man took out his phone and gave Josie a call.
In the bedroom, Josie’s phone vibrated. She reached out for it.
“Hello?”
It was an unknown number.
“Don’t stay here anymore. The man’s voice sounded strange yet familiar.
Josie sat up straight. She started to panic as her back tightened “Who are you? What do
you
want?”
“Does that guy Samuel live across from you?”
Chapter 109
Josie held her phone nervously, not knowing what the other party wanted.
“Leave home now, and go look for Samuel
Still panicking, Josie got out of bed and walked to the window.
She looked downstairs and saw a tall man wearing a cap standing next to the street lamp. “Trust me. Go now.”
The man then hung up the phone and turned to leave.
Josie stared at the figure intently. She thought she had seen this man somewhere.
However, Josie could not remember where she had seen him.
Josie wrapped herself with a blanket and knocked on Samuel’s door.
here for the nicht
I’m a little scared. Can I stay Josie asked, somewhat embarrassed.
Samuel was momentarily shocked. He then stretched out his hand and pulled Josie into his living room.
“It’s cold outside. I’ll make some oatmeal. You should eat something hot. Samuel felt Josie’s forehead. Her fever had subsided.
Josie nodded, her eyes fixed on the door.
“Samuel, you installed a surveillance camera outside the door. Is that right?”
Samuel nodded and knelt in front of Josie, looking worried. “Jo, what’s wrong?
“Someone called me and asked me to get out of the house.”
Josie looked at the surveillance camera on Samuel’s phone. There was no one in the corridor.
“Don’t be afraid. Maybe it’s a prank. I’m here.” Samuel’s face darkened as he patted Josie’s back.
At midnight, Samuel heard some noises in the corridor.
He looked at the surveillance camera. Several ruffians were in the corridor. They then pried open Josie’s door.
Samuel looked at Josie and shook his head, gesturing for her to be quiet. He then called the police.
Josie wrapped the blanket tightly around herself.
Who was the caller who warned her?
“Why did he help me?” thought Josie.
Henry was driving along the highway to the hospital when he received a call from his bodyguard. “Mr. Gibson, we are keeping an eye on that man. He went to the rental apartment on West Avenue before making his way to the hospital.”
Henry suddenly stepped on the brakes as he turned around without hesitation. He drove straight to Josie’s house immediately.
Was he going to look for Josie?
He had already left Josie once. This time, he would never make the wrong decision again.
“Bang! A truck crashed into Henry’s car just as he exited the highway.

Chapter 109
Henry gradually lost consciousness. He saw someone coming out of the truck. He then turned on the tracking system on his mobile phone before passing out.
Meanwhile, the police arrived in time at Samuel’s house. They arrested the three ruffians on the spot.
This was not the first time that Josie’s house had been broken into.
“We don’t know anything. Someone said that no one was living in this house, and there was a lot of cash inside. We came here to steal…
“We don’t know anything at all!”
The ruffians were scared out of their wits. They did not take anything from the house. They found the place so empty that it looked eerie.
Samuel frowned. “Did someone do this on purpose? If so, what is the reason?”
