Chapter 147
Hazel was a cruel woman. She had no feelings for Henry and even hated him a little..
No one knew the story of Hazel and Spike. However, Samuel had heard that Hazel and Josie’s mother, Kathy, were good friends in the past.
Samuel rubbed his forehead again. What worried him the most was still Josie.
“You need to know that Josie has nothing to do with you anymore since she has remarried. Why don’t you mind your own. business?” Yuri felt that Samuel did not deserve to be treated like that.
“It was Henry who threatened her!” Samuel frowned.
“So, do you have the ability to take Josie back from Henry?” Yuri raised his eyebrows.
“Do you really think I can’t do something to Gibson Corporation? I just don’t want to see both sides suffer!” Samuel clenched his fists so tight that his knuckles turned slightly white. “He forced me to do it first.”
“We can’t shake Gibson Corporation to its foundation by relying on Clusia Media Group alone.” Yuri narrowed his eyes and tried to persuade Samuel to return to Turner Corporation, saying, “Your grandpa and dad have always hoped you will take over the family business. If Josie is so important to you, are you sure you don’t want to consider this option for her sake?”
“Which sister of mine has asked for your help?” Samuel stared at Yuri with a threatening gaze.
“Speaking of which, you may not believe it.” Yuri smiled faintly and continued, “Nina, Leila, Mandy, your father, and your grandfather all came to me.”
Samuel took a deep breath and held his forehead helplessly. T’ve already decided that I’ll return to Turner Corporation.” Yuri looked at Samuel in shock. Josie was indeed the latter’s true love. She was the only one who could make the latter abandon his dreams and inherit the family business.
“Samuel, if I am Josie, I’ll love you so much. Yuri pounced on Samuel and hugged him.
Samuel dodged Yuri’s hug in disgust. I need to talk to you about something important.”
Yuri sat up reluctantly. “Tell me.
“Madelyn is Josie’s best friend. I’m worried that Spike will make a move on the people who are close to her after she remarries Henry, Please keep a close eye on them whenever you’re free. Samuel sighed.
“Haha! What kind of attitude should you have when asking for help?” Yuri tidied up his shirt and hinted to Samuel to beg him.
Samuel narrowed his eyes and asked, “Who was the one who approached the Human Resource Department and informed them they must retain Madelyn?”
Yuri stood up and left with an awkward expression. “Got it.”
On the ground floor of the office, as soon as Josie walked out of the door, she saw Henry waiting outside for her.
“Mr. Gibson, is your company not busy recently? Josie frowned.
“Although I’m the boss, I also need to take sick leave, Henry smiled. “Even if it’s a partnership, we’re husband and wife now. Even if we don’t greet each other by our names, shouldn’t you address me as your elder brother?”
Chapter 117
Josie ignored Henry
“Let’s go home.” Henry wanted to ride the subway with Josie.
“I have something else to do. You can go back by yourself.” Josie felt that Henry was too clingy lately as if he wanted to follow- her around all the time
“Hazel wanted to meet me, probably to talk about Ashley.” Henry’s tone lowered when he told Josie.
Josie was confused about whether it was an illusion. She felt that Henry did not mention Ashley’s name as intimately as
before.
Josie shook her head and sneered. It had nothing to do with her. “Why is Hazel so interested in Ashley?” she asked Henry. It was impossible for a woman like Hazel to not know that Ashley was not a kind person.
Henry shook his head. He still could not figure out Hazel’s true intention yet, but he was confident that she was definitely not the type of woman who would treat people well for no reason.
“It seems that Spike hasn’t made any move again.” Josie was concerned that Quinton and Spike had been too quiet recently.
“I’ve sent someone to spy on Quinton on the day of Arthur’s funeral. He’s now very close to a woman named Jessica. Plus, he’s acting out of his character. He hasn’t found a new girl yet.” Henry glanced at Josie. “By the way, Jessica is the new artist that joined Clusia Media Group. She just graduated this year. I suppose Quinton put in quite some effort to get her into the company.”
“Do you think Quinton is in love with the girl?” Josie was puzzled and wondered what Henry’s motive was in investigating a
newbie.
“This wornan may be a breakthrough. You must know that a woman is always a man’s weakness. For example, Josie was Henry’s weak spot. “Besides, Jessica and Hazel are definitely connected.” He was certain about it.
“You mean, Hazel sent Jessica to monitor Quinton? Josie was surprised. It seemed that Hazel and Spike were also competing secretly.
“Jo is so smart. You should have guessed what to do, right?” Henry did not want Josie to be involved in those dangerous acts, but he knew she wanted to put Spike in jail personally. So, he could only give her some relatively safe clues to approach Jessica and start investigating Quinton.
“Henry, help me probe a person. His name is Sergio, the driver who killed my parents back then.” Josie was determined to find out whether that case was related to Hazel. Sergio was Hazel’s childhood friend, and they used to date each other.
Henry looked briefly at Josie. He was surprised that she had already started looking into Sergio. “Okay, I’ll check it for you.” No matter what Josie asked him to do, he would do it. Jo, now that Arthur n is gone, we’re the only two left in the house” Henry’s voice sounded slightly disappointed. “Can’t you forgive me for once?”
“Henry, there is no forgiveness between us, unless you want to ruin me.” Josie sighed. If Henry was determined to make her stay with him by doing things that would hurt her, then she had no choice as well.
Jo…
“Henry, I don’t want to be like you and make someone wait for me. I can’t let him wait for too long. Josie quietly looked at Henry. She had waited for Henry for ten years, but he did not cherish her.
Samuel had also been waiting for her for ten years. Josie did not want him to wait too long. If she had the chance to recover completely from her sickness and hall the chance to be independent in all aspects, then she could go to Samuel without hesitation.

Chapter 147
U
Henry could not utter a word. He smiled bitterly and followed Josie from behind. He thought, “Is this probably retribution?” Since Henry had given Josie ten years of heartache and upset, she just came back for revenge only. There must be a price to pay for every mistake made.
At the Lake House, Josie was cooking dinner, while Henry was working in the study.
“Mr. Gibson, the Turner family will hold a press conference tomorrow. Samuel will officially return to the company and is preparing to take charge of the company’s management.” Henry’s fingers stiffened for a second when he heard the news, and he did not come back to his senses, even after he hung up the phone.
Back then, Samuel was willing to go abroad and wander around in search of his dream. He said he did not like to be restrained by his family business and those trivial management affairs. However, in the end, he still took over the Turner family’s business.
Henry thought, “Did Samuel do this to prove to me that he’s capable of protecting and taking care of Josie? Childish!” He still felt that Samuel was childish, but he was envious of that type of childishness that had nothing to fear. The latter was always so immature in handling things, yet he could be so casual at the same time.
Henry knew that he would lose to Samuel one day, an impulsive person that would go to great lengths for the person he loved. Josie falling in love with the latter seemed to be the best choice.
Henry felt that the worst decision John had ever made was leaving Josie to him. If John had promised to marry her to Samuel at the beginning, her life would probably be much luckier than marrying him.
