Chapter 168
Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry)
Chapter 168 âGuess what will happen next. Henry changed the subject, trying to cheer Josie up.
âAshley will probably pretend to hurt herself,â said Josie as she rolled her eyes.
Henry was stunned for a moment before the ringing of his phone interrupted him.
It was Thomas...
âAre you a miraculous fortuneâteller?â Henry raised his eyebrows.
Josie smiled and shifted her gaze from Henry elsewhere.
Henryâs heart tightened. Now... As long as Josie was happy, everything would be fine.
âHello?â
âMr. Gibson... The voice of Thomas on the other side of the phone sounded panicky and trembling.
âAshley... Ashley is missing.â
âMissing?â Henry frowned. âWhat happened?â
âI donât know. I just went out to buy a meal. Mr. Gibson, she didnât tell me where she was going... Now, I canât find her. Sheâs not picking up my calls too.â Thomas was so anxious that he was on the verge of crying.
Josie listened quietly, silently complimenting Thomasâ acting.
Her prediction was a bit off though. This time, Ashley did not threaten to hurt herself. Instead, she pretended to be missing.
âHow long has it been?â Henry asked in a deep voice.
âEver since she read what Josie... Ms. Yate posted on Twitter... at noon today, Ashley has been feeling down. She then asked me to go and buy her favorite peanut cookies. So, I did. After that... When I came back, she was gone. I looked everywhere and asked a lot of people. Sheâs nowhere to be found!â said Thomas in a panic.
âDid you call the police?â Henry rubbed his temples.
âYes. The police said to continue to ask around. Ashley has depression, so the police are also investigating the case.â
âIâll be right over.â After hanging up the phone, Henry looked at Josic.
âItâs an episode of her going missing this time.â Josie sat up straight and said, âThomas clearly knew that she was in a bad mood after reading my Twitter, and yet he left her alone.â
Josie didnât mean to shirk the blame. It was obvious that Thomas was suggesting that what she posted on Twitter had caused, Ashleyâs missing.
âBesides, Ashley was the one who provoked me first.â Josie seldom complained or threw any tantrums. This time, however, she couldnât bear it anymore.
Ashley not only targeted her, but also wanted to ruin the artists under Josie.
It wasnât that bad for Sebastian. If he stopped being an artist, he could always go home and 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 âItâs okay... Donât worry. You can do whatever you want, Henry reached out and held Josieâs hand.
If he could spoil Josie so much from the beginning, maybe Josie wouldnât 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....
âGo find her quickly. In case something bad really happens...â Josie retreated her fingers without a trace. If something really happened to Ashley, she wouldnât be able to bear the responsibility.
Haters on the Internet would surely skin her alive.
However, Josie did not believe that Ashley would really put herself in harmâs way.
âOkay, have a good rest when you go home. Donât wait up for me.â Henry glanced at Josie and continued, âBelieve me.â
Josie nodded. âBe carefulâ
A black sedan was parked at the door of the gangâs base of the Taibbi family. A woman dressed in black, with a mask and a pair of sunglasses on, was walking toward the entrance.
âMs. Locke Spikeâs men came to welcome Hazel 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.
Hazelâs gaze dimmed. Then, she raised her head, took off the sunglasses and face mask.
Her face was very valuable now.
âHave you seen all the comments and discussions on the Internet?â Spikeâs voice was very cold. âLook what a good son you gave birth to. He even dares to go against me now. Does he think heâs untouchable now that heâs all grown up?â
âIf he was cruel enough, he would have been truly untouchable,â Hazel satirized.
Spikeâs face darkened and he narrowed his eyes. âAre you suggesting I clip his wings before he flies further?â
Suppressing her anger, Hazelâs face darkened instantly as she clenched her fists. âHeâs your biological son!â
âThen youâd better teach him to be obedient. Spike was sitting at the table. âWhat about Ashley Long, what happened?â
âAt first, she thought Henry liked her, so she wanted to use that relationship to her advantage. It turns out sheâs not only full of herself but also an idiot. Henry does not care about her as much as he used to. Sheâs pretty much useless to us now.â Hazel thought Ashley would be useful in some ways, but Henryâs clarification meant that Ashley had temporarily lost her chance to gain more power.
âIf sheâs useless to us now, then let her be useful,â Spike spoke meaningfully.
âYou mean... Hazel took a deep breath/
âDeal with it as you like.â
It was a warning to Henry.

âIf you canât settle this either, Iâll deal with it my way. By theri; donât blame me for not showing you and your son any dignity.â
In Henryâs 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 were getting the better of the hate comments.
After all, society was still dominated by those with good morals.
Josie then decided to read some of Samuelâs new tweets. Accidentally, she liked one of those tweets. She then realized the tweet that she liked was posted on Samuelâs personal Twitter account.
Josie quickly unliked the tweet and closed the app. She tossed her phone away and buried herself in her blanket.
Buzz! 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....
âHello?â Josie answered the call eventually.
âWhat was that? Did you just like my tweet and then unlike it the next second?â Samuel teased.
They hadnât 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 didnât want to miss any chance to be in touch with Josie.
âMy finger slipped... Josie said softly from inside her blanket.
âHow... have you been?â Samuel seemed to be just asking from a friendâs perspective.

For whatever reason, she was already somebody elseâs wife now, Iâm fine. What about you?â Josieâs palms were sweating a little.
âIâm good.â Samuel was silent for a long time before he continued, âIf you donât contact me, I probably... wonât take the initiative to contact you, for now.â
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. âTake a good rest. Stop going online and just stop thinking about anythingâ
He had been silently in love with Josie for over 10 years. Nothing else could scare him...
He and Josie shared some memories, and that was enough for him.
He could never force Josie to return his love.
