Chapter 171
Henry frowned. This time, he did not care which man Hazel had an affair with.
Spike had deceived Hazel so badly previously, and now, he had returned to Hofcaster once again. Thus, it was obvious that she resented him.
She had an affair with one of the men that Spike trusted the most. Most probably it was done so that it would be convenient for her to find something that would give her leverage against Spike.
“They’re colluding with each other. Henry said coldly. After all Hazel and Spike were the same kinds of people.
Zachary smirked. “Ha! It’s the first time I’ve heard someone mock their own parents,” He was not afraid to make fun of Henry
Henry glanced at him coldly, and the surrounding atmosphere turned icy.
Zachary knew that he had struck a nerve with Henry. Although the former was unfazed by it, he did not continue to provoke Henry. What are you going to do with Ashley asked Zachary
He knew that what had happened to Ashley now was her retribution,
The police investigated the scene and found that someone had deliberately pushed her down the cellar. They are still investigating it secretly It was because Ashley had an injury on her head, and there was also a blood clot in her brain.
It indicated that someone had deliberately wanted to use Ashley to instigate comments from the public.
Henry had guessed it from early on. Therefore, he said. The ones who can benefit from this current situation are Spike and Hazel. They have always wanted me to divorce Josie once again.
“It’s a warning from Spike for you. After joining the gang. Zachary finally understood how terrifying Spike could be.
It’s no wonder that even Henry is so wary of him. Zachary mused to himself.
“Yes, I know.” Henry nodded.
“Let’s stop for a while. Spike won’t put his trust in me that quick Zachary patted Henry on the shoulder before turning to
leave
As a matter of fact, Zachary had never thought that one day, he would be able to talk to Henry calmly and have a smoke together.
All those years, the person that he hated the most was Ashley, then followed by Henry.
It was because Henry was a very arrogant man and treated others badly as if those people were ants.
“Mr. Gibson, have you seen the public opinions on the internet? it’s very bad for Ms. Yates now. Aren’t we going to suppress them? Cecilia asked nervously when she met Henry.
Henry leaned against the door and looked at his phone. “It can’t be suppressed. Do you think Samuel hadn’t suppressed the public opinions?”
“What should we do then Cecilia was so anxious that she wanted to cry. “It’s not Josie’s fault. Ashley brought it upon herself.”
“Hush” Henry frowned and glared at Cecilia
That was when Cecilia covered her mouth and walked into the exit passageway.

They knew the hospital must be filled with surveillance everywhere.
“What should we do, Mr. Gibson? We can’t let Josie endure this kind of cyber violence every day. She will have a breakdown. You don’t know how crazy the fans are. They even did a background search on Josie…”
Cecilia stomped her feet in frustration.
Henry’s voice was h oa rse. “Didn’t someone try to expose… that the adopted son of the Gibson family? Let this piece of news resurface again.”
Naturally, there would be people who would divert the situation and shift their attention to him.
“Mr. Gibson… Cecilia looked at Henry in shock.
John had always hidden the truth. If Henry were to expose it, Cison Corporation would definitely be affected.
“Do as I say,” Henry said in a sleep voice as he walked out of the exit passageway.
Meanwhile, Cecilia stood in the exit passageway for a long time
She had never known Henry’s love for Josie before. Moreover, she even felt that he was not worthy of Josie’s love.
Now she knew Henry’s feelings. She began to feel sorry for him
Josie went to the company to work, but she was surrounded by Ashley’s fans in the underground parking lot.
She thought that they would never be able to sneak into the company.
Someone suddenly shouted, “I saw her just now!”
“We’ve been waiting for her in here for so long! I saw her!”
Several fans holding placards looked around to find Josie,
Even though Josie’s stomach hurt so much, she hid behind the car and did not dare to make a sound.
She had just come back from the hospital, and her waist and stomach still hurt badly.
Josie had beads of sweat on her forehead. She wanted to take out her phone to make a phone call, but she was afraid that those people would notice her
Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard. It was her phone.
Josie took out her phone nervously and glanced at it. The caller was Madelyn.
“Hello, Maddy.”
When Josie answered the call, the crazed fans had found her.
Someone shouted, “She’s hiding there!”
Josje got up and ran in the direction of the elevator in panic. “How could Ashley’s fans barge into the underground parking lot?” she thought.
She was wondering because she had chosen the route on purpose in order to avoid them.
“Where are you, Jo I’ll be right there! Call the security guard!”
As Madelyn spoke into the phone, she ran out in panic.

Then, someone was heard shouting, “Stop right there, Josie! It’s all your fault. If you didn’t prompt the pressure of public opinion, Ashley wouldn’t have tried to end her own life!”
“It’s you who harmed Ashley. Go to hell!
The fan had a glass bottle in her hand and charged toward Josie Then, the fan smashed Josie with it.
“Arghh!” Josie was unable to dodge in time. Therefore, the bottle hit Josie on the forehead.
The bottle smashed into pieces in an instant.
Meanwhile, Josie’s forehead was injured, and dark red blood oozed out of the wound.
“Go to hell!” several fans shouted wildly.
A voice yelled out, “Who’s there?”
The security guards rushed over as soon as they were informed about the situation.
Then, the security guards stopped the fans who hurt Josie as the fans tried to run away.
When the elevator opened, Madelyn and Samuel ran out in an instant. Then, they looked at the injury on Josie’s forehead anxiously.
Acting out of control, Madelyn shouted frantically, “Call the police. What are you waiting for? There are surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot. They’re trying to kill people on purpose!”
Meanwhile, Samuel exuded a cold aura. With an icy gaze, he looked at the fans. “Who threw it?”
The girl was obviously frightened and backed away in panic.
“Call the police, and send the surveillance camera footage to the police station. Also, what did the security do? Why did they let the people sneak inside? Bring them to the police station as well to investigate whose fault it is!” Samuel was very angry.
Josie seldom saw Samuel that angry. Her sight was blurred by the blood, and her vision went black
When Samuel saw Yuri running toward them in fear, the former said in a very tense voice, “Yuri, deal with the mess!” Then, Samuel carried Josie in his arms before adding, “I’ll take her to the hospital.”
Madelyn was on the brink of crying out in frustration. “All of you are a bunch of crazy people. Ashley tried to end her own life, but what does it have anything to do with Josie? Is Ashley innocent? She’s a homewrecker!”
The fans did not dare to speak anymore. They knew that they had caused trouble and only stood rooted to the spot in panic.
Meanwhile, Yuri, who was annoyed, cursed inwardly. “Ashley is really not easy to deal with!” he thought.
Yuri saw Madelyn’s eyes brimming with tears and she was shouting hysterically. Then, he felt his heart tighten all of a sudden.
Thus, Yuri walked over to Madelyn and took her hand. He pulled her into his arms and patted her on the back. After that, he comforted her by saying, “I’ll take care of this. Samuel is there with her. Everything will be fine.”
Madelyn looked as if she was greatly wronged. Without giving it much thought, she grabbed Yuri’s clothes and started to cry. “Why is Jo so unlucky? Why do psychopaths want to mess with her?”
Yuri sighed. “Don’t cry.”
“I want to cry,” said Madelyn as she stomped her feet in frustration.

Yuri comforted her instantly. “Okay. You can cry. Just cry as much as you want.”
Only then did Madelyn continue to cry loudly.
She cried so much that there were mucus and tears all over Yuri.
In the meantime, Samuel and Josie were on their way to the hospital.
Samuel hugged Josie anxiously as he was afraid that she would be frightened. “It’s okay, Jo. I’m here.”
Meanwhile, Josie was lying quietly in Samuel’s arms without saying anything. She wanted to take the chance to enjoy his embrace secretly.
Indeed, Samuel was the only one who could give her the sense of security that she wanted.
“I’m fine… Josie said in a slightly h oar se voice. Then, she raised her hands slowly and hugged Samuel.
Samuel thought that Josie was frightened. As he felt sorry for her, he urged the driver to speed up.
At that moment. Josie was quiet. She felt that the world was quiet as well.
It was because she was able to hear Samuel’s heartbeat other than her own heartbeat.
She always felt reassured by the sound of his heartbeat.
