Chapter 168 "Guess what will happen next. Henry changed the subject, trying to cheer Josie up.
"Ashley will probably pretend to hurt herself," said Josie as she rolled her eyes.
Henry was stunned for a moment before the ringing of his phone interrupted him.
It was Thomas...
"Are you a miraculous fortune-teller?" Henry raised his eyebrows.
Josie smiled and shifted her gaze from Henry elsewhere.
Henry's heart tightened. Now... As long as Josie was happy, everything would be fine.
"Hello?" "Mr. Gibson... The voice of Thomas on the other side of the phone sounded panicky and trembling.
"Ashley... Ashley is missing." "Missing?" Henry frowned. "What happened?" "I don't know. I just went out to buy a meal. Mr. Gibson, she didn't tellwhere she was going... Now, I can't find her. She's not picking up my calls too." Thomas was so anxious that he was on the verge of crying.
Josie listened quietly, silently complimenting Thomas' acting.
Her prediction was a bit off though. This time, Ashley did not threaten to hurt herself. Instead, she pretended to be missing.
"How long has it been?" Henry asked in a deep voice.
"Ever since she read what Josie... Ms. Yate posted on Twitter... at noon today, Ashley has been feeling down. She then askedto go and buy her favorite peanut cookies. So, I did. After that... When I cback, she was gone. I looked everywhere and asked a lot of people. She's nowhere to be found!" said Thomas in a panic.
"Did you call the police?" Henry rubbed his temples.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes. The police said to continue to ask around. Ashley has depression, so the police are also investigating the case." "I'll be right over." After hanging up the phone, Henry looked at Josic.
"It's an episode of her going missing this time.” Josie sat up straight and said, “Thomas clearly knew that she was in a bad mood after reading my Twitter, and yet he left her alone." Josie didn't mean to shirk the blame. It was obvious that Thomas was suggesting that what she posted on Twitter had caused, Ashley's missing.
"Besides, Ashley was the one who provokedfirst." Josie seldom complained or threw any tantrums. This time, however, she couldn't bear it anymore.
Ashley not only targeted her, but also wanted to ruin the artists under Josie.
It wasn't that bad for Sebastian. If he stopped being an artist, he could always go hand inherit his family business. As for Jessica and Rebecca, they had to make a living, not to mention their passion for this line of work.
Chapter 168 "It's okay... Don't worry. You can do whatever you want, Henry reached out and held Josie's hand.
If he could spoil Josie so much from the beginning, maybe Josie wouldn't have fallen in love with Samuel.
Henry looked waveringly at Josie. If he could start over again, he would have spoiled Josie like a princess since the day he met her.
He would not have survived without her....
"Go find her quickly. In case something bad really happens..." Josie retreated her fingers without a trace. If something really happened to Ashley, she wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.
Haters on the Intewould surely skin her alive.
However, Josie did not believe that Ashley would really put herself in harm's way.
"Okay, have a good rest when you go home. Don't wait up for me." Henry glanced at Josie and continued, "Believe me." Josie nodded. "Be careful" A black sedan was parked at the door of the gang's base of the Taibbi family. A woman dressed in black, with a mask and a pair of sunglasses on, was walking toward the entrance.
"Ms. Locke Spike's men cto welcHazel and led her into the inner courtyard.
In the yard, Zachary was munching on an apple when he saw Hazel entering the yard. He threw her a meaningful look.
Slap! As soon as his men closed the door, Spike slapped Hazel in the face.
Hazel took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and clenched her fingers slowly.
Hazel's gaze dimmed. Then, she raised her head, took off the sunglasses and face mask.
Her face was very valuable now.
"Have you seen all the comments and discussions on the Internet?" Spike's voice was very cold. "Look what a good son you gave birth to. He even dares to go againstnow. Does he think he's untouchable now that he's all grown up?" "If he was cruel enough, he would have been truly untouchable," Hazel satirized.
Spike's face darkened and he narrowed his eyes. "Are you suggesting I clip his wings before he flies further?" Suppressing her anger, Hazel's face darkened instantly as she clenched her fists. "He's your biological son!" "Then you'd better teach him to be obedient. Spike was sitting at the table. "What about Ashley Long, what happened?" "At first, she thought Henry liked her, so she wanted to use that relationship to her advantage. It turns out she's not only full of herself but also an idiot. Henry does not care about her as much as he used to. She's pretty much useless to us now." Hazel thought Ashley would be useful in sways, but Henry's clarification meant that Ashley had temporarily lost her chance to gain more power.
“If she's useless to us now, then let her be useful," Spike spoke meaningfully.
"You mean... Hazel took a deep breath/ "Deal with it as you like." It was a warning to Henry.
3.88%1 Chapter 168 The next one would not be for Ashley, but for Josie.
"If you can't settle this either, I'll deal with it my way. By theri; don't blme for not showing you and your son any dignity." In Henry's villa, Josie was lying on the bed with her phone after a shower. She was exhausted.
Her medicine was almost finished, so she had to go to the hospital again.
Josie heaved a sigh as she scrolled through the comments online.
Statements from her supporters! the were getting the better of the hate comments. After all, society was still dominated by those with good morals.
Josie then decided to read sof Samuel's new tweets. Accidentally, she liked one of those tweets. She then realized the tweet that she liked was posted on Samuel's personal Twitter account. Josie quickly unliked the tweet and closed the app. She tossed her phone away and buried herself in her blanket.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBuzz! Before Josie could close his eyes, Samuel called.
Josie was so nervous. She was unsure whether she should answer the call.
Samuel did help her today....
"Hello?" Josie answered the call eventually.
"What was that? Did you just like my tweet and then unlike it the next second?" Samuel teased.
They hadn't been in touch for a long time. They seldom met these days too.
However, Samuel was always watching out for any messages or notifications from Josie. He didn't want to miss any chance to be in touch with Josie.
"My finger slipped... Josie said softly from inside her blanket.
"How... have you been?" Samuel seemed to be just asking from a friend's perspective.
He didn't want to pressure Josie. After all, she had made her decision to remarry Henry. For whatever reason, she was already somebody else's wife now, I'm fine. What about you?" Josie's palms were sweating a little.
"I'm good." Samuel was silent for a long tbefore he continued, "If you don't contact me, I probably... won't I take the initiative to contact you, for now." Samuel was giving Josie space. He wanted to respect all her decisions.
If Josie and Henry were meant together, then Samuel would give them his blessings...
He would not leave her side. As long as Josie was happy, he would be looking at her from a distance.
Samuel laughed at himself before continuing. "Take a good rest. Stop going online and just stop thinking about anything" He had been silently in love with Josie for over 10 years. Nothing else could scare him...
He and Josie shared smemories, and that was enough for him.
He could never force Josie to return his love.
