Chapter 224
“The affairs between the Gibson family and the Taibbi family are very complicated and can’t be solved easily. I can’t apply for a divorce with Josie for the time being, so I have to delay it.” Henry’s persistence was not just because of his stubbornness, but it was not the right time.
“Well, Josie and Samuel will understand.” Zachary suddenly turned the steering wheel.
Henry gritted his teeth and glared at Zachary, feeling angry. “They have to understand it!”
After all, Henry had handed Josie over to Samuel.
“Don’t be so angry. You lost Josie yourself.”
Henry pushed Josie away bit by bit.
Now that he had pushed her away, Henry should not regret it. However, he should never worry about or consider keeping her by his side.
It was too selfish and unfair to Josie.
“Zachary, I’m sorry about your father.” Henry knew that he had misunderstood Zachary all these years, and it was true. He had been tracking down Zachary, which caused him a lot of inconvenience.
Zachary was able to bear hardships, and he didn’t care about the problems he suffered.
He was frustrated that he didn’t have the power to avenge his father.
“You have paid it back.” Zachary shook the USB flash drive in his hand.
In it was the evidence of Ashley’s dictation.
That was enough!
This was the biggest atonement Henry offered.
Meanwhile, at Samuel’s house.
As soon as Josie turned home, someone set off the fireworks.

Chapter 224
Madelyn, Rebecca, and Jessica danced with music to welcome Josie back.
Josie covered her eyes with a smile. “Stop dancing around.”

Madelyn twisted her body and put the crown on Josie’s head. “Wish you a happy reborn, Jo! Everything will get
better in the future!”
There was a big three–layer cake on the table, which was a gift for them to celebrate the rebirth of Josie.
“Come on, everyone! Let’s continue dancing to the music!” Madelyn was good at enlivening the atmosphere.
Josie was moved and touched deeply. Her eyes were red.
Looking back at Samuel, Josie relaxed in his arms for a while.
Samuel hugged Josie tightly and laughed. “Yuri, drag your girlfriend away. Don’t let her frighten Jo.”
How clingy was Samuel!
Yuri raised his eyebrows. “Don’t be ungrateful.”
Before Josie had time to indulge in her emotion, she turned over to Samuel in shock and then looked at Yuri.
At the same time, Rebecca and Jessica, who were holding the wreath, were also shocked.
They stared at Madelyn and Yuri simultaneously.
“Did they confirm their relationship so soon?” they wondered.
They suddenly realized that the one Madelyn talked about in the group chat and wanted to win over was Yuri.
“Mr. Yancey, are you with Maddy now?” Rebecca was shocked.
“What are you talking about?” Madelyn was embarrassed and jumped up, wanting to fight with Rebecca.
“Mr. Yancey, stop her. She wants to finish me off!” Rebecca made a scene while running.
The joyful atmosphere at home made Josie, who had spent a long time in indifference and aloofness, suddenly feel the vibrancy of life.
Leaning against Samuel, apsie was delighted, as if she was wrapped by hope and warmth. She was not afraid of

anyone or anything now.
“Jo, look at what she’s hiding! She didn’t tell us when she was in a relationship. She’s gone overboard! Look at Jessica! She sent photos to the group immediately after getting married,” complained Rebecca.
Josie smiled. “Yeah.”
“Jo!” Madelyn stamped her feet. “I didn’t have time to tell you. Besides, Rebecca! You’ve gone too far, too! You slept with Sebastian-”
Before Madelyn could finish her words, Rebecca rushed over and covered her mouth.
Rebecca looked at Samuel, who was Sebastian’s cousin, in horror.
She had a bad reputation. It was not good to have anything to do with Sebastian.
Plus, she didn’t want anyone to know.
Madelyn obediently shut up. The tense atmosphere soon shrouded her.
Josie looked up at Samuel.
It was evident Sebastian had feelings for Rebecca, and Josie could tell when they were in the hospital room the night before her treatment.
At night, Josie woke up and saw Sebastian secretly get up to cover Rebecca with a quilt and kiss Rebecca.
Samuel then looked at Josie and said nothing.
“Are you not angry?” Josie asked in Rebecca’s stead.
“Why should I be angry? I don’t care about my biological brother, not to mention my cousin. Samuel’s indifferent expression amused Josie.
“Sebastian must be sneezing in the crew now. Haha!” Madelyn and Josie both smiled.
Samuel held Josie in his arms and whispered, “I only care about you.”
Josie blushed and walked to the table. “Samuel, look! It says ‘Happy Rebirth‘ on the cake!”

Samuel walked over. Une pectedly, Josie wiped the cream on his nose.

Samuel smiled and kissed Josie.
Yuri reached out and covered Madelyn’s eyes. “Gross! Don’t teach bad things to my wife. Let’s not learn from. them.”
“Who is your wife?” Madelyn peeked.
Rebecca and Jessica leaped in the air and screamed, turning away. “You can get married already!”
Josie’s face turned bright red. Being shy, she immediately turned and ran into her room, hiding away.
Samuel blinked at Yuri. “Thanks!”
“You’re welcome.” Yuri sneered.
Samuel asked them to enjoy themselves first and then followed Josie into the bedroom.
“Jo…”
Josie hid behind the door.
Samuel turned around and trapped Josie in a corner.
Their hearts beat fast, and they could hear each other’s heartbeats.
“Trust me. I’ll be nice to you all my life.”
Samuel wanted Josie to feel safe..
“Well…” After so many years, Josie decided to work hard to fight for everything she wanted.
She would work harder. She was not afraid of any gossip and online harassment. Only by trying to become a better person could she truly stand by Samuel’s side.
She would trust her lover and try her best to protect and safeguard their relationship. No one would hurt her again.
At Ashley’s house.
After multiple prayers in Kismet Church, the house finally quieted.

Feeling calm, Ashley breathed a sigh of relief.
The phone rang, and Ashley answered the call.
“Thomas” case has not concluded yet. If Josie withdraws the lawsuit, we may still have the chance to bail him
out.”
Ashley asked someone to check and state Thomas‘ current situation.
“How could Josie withdraw the lawsuit?” Ashley didn’t want to beg Josie.
But now there was no one around her. She felt Thomas was the only man who was honest with her.
“There is no other way.” The other party didn’t want to back down.
After hanging up the ‘phone, Ashley hugged herself tightly and hid in the corner.
She wouldn’t ask Josie for help.
“Knock! Knock!” There was a knock on the door.
Ashley looked at the door in fear and felt nervous.
She was afraid of seeing something unpleasant again.
“Hey, Ashley? It’s me.” It was Hazel.
Ashley felt relieved and stood up to open the door. “Hi, Hazel.”
Hazel entered Ashley’s house and looked around. “Do you live in such a small unit?”
Ashley was a little nervous. She had only been in the entertainment industry for a short time. It was good to have purchased such a unit in Hofcaster.
“Ashley, you should live in the center of Hofcaster or Henry’s mansion. You don’t deserve this kind of place,” Hazel said with a smile.
