Chapter 144
“Jo!” Samuel rushed to the Gibson residence as soon as possible after receiving the news.
Josie wore a black dress and had a small white flower pinned to her hair.
Arthur didn’t have any children, as he was never married. For Josie, he was her elder.
The doctor said… He left without pain. Josie choked when she spoke. After that, she lowered her head and stood there quietly.
That’s good. Samuel reached out to hug Josie, but his raised hand stiffened when he remembered that he couldn’t do it
anymore.
Josie lowered her head, as she didn’t dare to look into Samuel’s eyes.
“He reached out to me. It seems that he wanted to hug me, but I shouldn’t allow it, as it is inappropriate,” she thought.
“Jo, come home with me… Samuel knew that Josie must be sad now.
He wanted to take Josie away.
Josie looked up at Samuel with red eyes. “I…”
She thought, “But I have remarried Henry. No matter what the reason is for the remarriage, it is an undeniable truth.”
“She won’t go with you” Henry didn’t look very well. He reached out and pulled Josie into his arms, looking at Samuel with vigilance and flaunting.
Irseemed that he was trying to warn Samuel to stay away from his prey.
“We’ve remarried. Henry spoke again.
The pain in Samuel’s eyes was evident when he heard that. However, his gaze was fixated on Josie the entire time.
He wanted to know Josie’s attitude toward the remarriage.
Unfortunately, Josie looked up at him briefly and lowered her head again without saying anything.
“Jo, I’ll wait for you at home.” Samuel knew that it was inappropriate to fight with Henry that day. He came because he was worried about Josie. He wanted to check on her.
Seeing Samuel turn and leave, Josie subconsciously wanted to go after him.
Henry looked down at Josie, who was still in his arms, and held her tightly.
“Please stay with me for a little longer, he begged silently.
“Jo, are you really in love with him?” Henry took a deep breath. “Do you really want to go with him?”
“If it weren’t for your threat, I would have gone with him without hesitation.” Josie looked at Henry with red eyes. “I think I’m in love with him”
Josie could feel her heart squint when she watched Samuel leave with disappointment.
She hated to see him hurt or sad. She didn’t want to see him sad
Chapter 141
Perhaps, her love for Samuel was not as deep as the love she had for Henry, but she couldn’t stand his disappointed eyes.
Henry suddenly loosened his grip on Josie as if he was hit by lightning.
He seemed to have taken a lot of blows to his face in one day.
“Henry..” Josie didn’t look back. She looked down at the ground instead. “After the cooperation between us ended, please let me go. I want to look for my happiness”
*I will not allow it until the day I die.”
Henry made such an announcement in a low voice and left.
After all, he was a paranoid and crazy person.
The Gibson residence was now vacant after Arthur’s death.
All the housekeepers left after Arthur did as well, since they didn’t have to take care of him anymore.
The Gibson residence belonged to Josie. This place held a lot of good memories, but it was also a sad place for Josie.
“Let’s take out all the books Mr. Hoffman loved and bury them with him.” Josie sat on the floor and started to sort out Arthur’s belongings.
Arthur had devoted his life to the Gibson family. Josie hoped that he could be a free man after he died.
“There’s a photo here.” Josie took out a photo from Arthur’s favorite history book. It was very old and in black and white. The woman in the photo was very beautiful. She had twisted braids and a pair of big eyes.
“This is… Your grandmother when she was young. The guard glanced at the photo and sighed. He then took Arthur’s belongings with him.
Josie remained seated on the floor. She couldn’t move, as she was in shock.
“Is my grandmother Arthur’s beloved woman?” she wondered.
“He told me he lost his love because he pushed her away. Did he do so to my grandmother? Is this why he remained single and devoted his life to the Gibson family? Or should I say, grandmother’s family?” Josie asked silently.
Josie seldom heard about her grandmother from her grandpa. She died a long time ago. She died of illness after giving birth to Josie’s father Hayden.
Josie learned that her grandmother wasn’t her grandpa’s love, and her grandmother’s heart never belonged to her grandpa. Their marriage was actually a demonstration of the sorrow of that generation.
After sorting everything, Josie planned to go to the cemetery.
She had to attend Arthur’s funeral.
“My deepest condolences, Jo
Josie bumped into Charles at the cemetery.
Since the car accident, Josie had never seen Charles. She didn’t expect to see him at Arthur’s funeral.
Josie lowered her head. The loneliness and sorrow were evident on her face.
“He is a good man. He must be in heaven now. Charles tried to comfort Josie.
Chapter 144
Josie didn’t respond to it. She kept her head down.
“I’ve obtained some information about Spike. I’ll send them to you later,” Charles checked his surroundings vigilantly when he said that.
Josie hesitated for a while and nodded.
“The Gibson family is truly a philanthropic family. Look at how grand the funeral is. People might think that this funeral is for Mr. Gibson’s father, not the butler.”
An irritating voice sounded from behind.
Quinton wore a black suit that day. He took off his sunglasses with one hand while the other held a bouquet of white lilies.
Quinton placed the lilies in front of the tombstone. He then looked at Josie and reached out to touch her, wanting to tease her. “Why are you crying?”
The people around them wanted to step forward to stop Quinton from touching Josie, but they were stopped by his bodyguards.
“I got excited when I overheard you saying it’s your father’s funeral. I couldn’t help crying,” Josie retorted calmly while her expression remained unfazed.
You have a sharp tongue.” Quinton squinted and tried to get closer to her, but Charles reached out and stopped him.
Charles frowned and looked at Quinton dangerously.
“Wow, it seems you have a lot of knights around you.” Quinton smiled. He then said, “I met with a female reporter called Madelyn recently, I took her to coffee after learning that she is your friend,”
Josie’s face turned pale, instantly. She then grabbed Quinton’s collar out of fear. “Where is Madelyn? What did
you
do to
her?”
Quinton was a crazy man in her eyes.
“There’s no need to worry. We just had a cup of coffee together.” Quinton raised both of his hands to nothing.
– he did
Panicked, Josie took out her phone and failed to reach Madelyn’s number.
Madelyn told Josie that she was going on a business trip, and they hadn’t been in touch for a while. Josie couldn’t help but think that Quinton had done something to her. “If you harm the people I care about, I will definitely kill you!”
Jo, Charles frowned. He tried to protect Josie from Quinton while calming her down
Can you keep an eye on me always! There are times when you would be distracted.” Quinton smiled and blinked. He then approached Josie. “I think my father had threatened Henry using the same method as well. He would be distracted. eventually unless he never left your side.
“What do you want? Josie tried calling Madelyn, but the latter didn’t answer her calls.
“Marry me…” Quinton didn’t hide his intention.
“No way!” Josie kicked him in the crotch when Quinton was not paying attention. “Henry and I have remarried. You should give up!”
Charles looked at Josie in shock. The news of her and Henry getting remarried didn’t surprise him. He was actually caught off guard by her action. “It seems that even a feeble and kind rabbit knows how to retaliate too. That kick seems painful” he

thought.
Quinton bent over in pain. Obviously, he didn’t expect Josie to do this.
Not far from them, Henry’s expression was gloomy.
He stayed away from Josie on purpose the entire time they were at the cemetery, but when he saw Quinton standing in front of the tombstone with his men, he rushed over.
“You’re playing with fire!” Henry had been in a bad mood, but when he saw Josie’s red eyes, he could no longer contain his anger. He punched Quinton.
Before Quinton could straighten his body. Henry directed another blow at him, causing him to drop to the ground.
