Chapter 174
Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry)
Chapter 174 Rebecca was so frightened because she had company at that time.
âHuh? If youâre homeless, Sebbie, go to a hotel. I-Itâs not really convenient for you to be here at the moment, Rebecca refused awkwardly and even wanted to shut the door.
Sebastian frowned and stopped the door from closing with his hand. âMy ID card was detained. I canât stay in the hotel.
âUh... Call Jo, then. Rebecca panicked.
Sebastian looked even gloomier upon hearing that remark.
âSomeone must be in there with her right now,â he mused.
Josie has had enough trouble lately. Havenât you heard? Today, Ashleyâs fans barged into the company and threw a wine bottle at Josie, uttered Sebastian in a deep voice.
Rebecca straightened her back in shock. âHowâs that possible? Just now.â
Josie had been chatting with Rebecca about the scandals from the blockbuster on WhatsApp only a minute ago.
Seeing Rebecca no longer hinder the path, Sebastian stepped inside.
In the living room, a stranger sat on the couch. That person was playing games and appearing a little impatient. âWhoâs that? Itâs so late already Sebastianâs eyebrows furrowed as he turned back to look at Rebecca. âYou have a date, Rebecca??
Rebecca smiled awkwardly and tried to salvage her image. âHeâs my cousin!â
She picked up the manâs coat and threw it on him. âLeave now!â
That man was dumbfounded, for he had yet to finish playing the game. He looked up, only to jump in fright when I the grim expression on Sebastianâs face. âWhoâs this guy?â
âYou donât have to know. Just go already!â Rebecca pushed the man out the door.
âDo you only care about guys now, Rebecca? How could you kick me out just because heâs here? Arenât we buddies?â The man was quite unhappy.
âShut up, you!â Rebecca gritted her teeth and kicked the man right on the butt. âGet lost.â
After saying that, she drove the man outside and clapped her hands with a grin. âHaha. My cousinâs so funny, always joking around.â
Sebastian gnashed his teeth and faked a smile in return. âArenât you afraid of getting yourself involved in a scandal?â
âNo. Heâs quite tight-lipped, I dare say. Ever since we were kids, he- Halfway through her words, Rebecca raised her hands to cover her mouth.
She had blurted the secret out herself.
Wearing an intimidating visage, Sebastian narrowed his eyes meaningfully as he approached Rebecca one step at a time with an overwhelming aura.
Rebecca was inexplicably nervous and afraid. âNo, wait a minute Why should I be afraid of this brat?â she wondered.

Chapter 174 âYou really... just canât live without men, can you?â interrogated Sebastian in a deep voice.
Rebecca furrowed her brows at that. âRelationships are consensual, Sebbie. If you canât stand it, you can show yourself outâ
Sebastian took a deep breath and complained inwardly, âThis is ridiculous.â
âYou know, Rebecca, itâs not easy for Josie to manage our affairs. Sheâs already in so much trouble. If you get into yet another scandal, do you really think youâll be lucky enough to have someone else cover you up again? Sebastian was infuriated.
Rebecca did not know why Sebastian got all worked up. She assumed the latter was probably worried about Josie, âI know that. That man you saw just now is trustworthy, and heâs on good terms with me. Iâll take care of my affairs by myself. I wonât be causing you guys any trouble.â
âAre you sure he can be trusted? Think about this. If we pay someone who wants to mess with Josie 1.5 million dollars and ask the person to spread rumors about you, will the person agree?â Sebastian scowled at Rebecca.
15 million?â Rebecca was astounded.
Sebastian, in turn, felt a bit of a headache to hear that reply. He could never comprehend Rebeccaâs way of thinking.
Tll take that handsome amount of money myself and release my own scandalous news to the public. Rebecca rolled her eyes as she spoke before adding. âIâm kidding! My scandal isnât worth 1.5 million dollars.â
Iâm not joking, okay?â Sebastian was really livid.
Clearly, Rebecca also noticed that expression of his. âWell... I know Iâm at fault. Iâll control myself from now.â
âAre you sure you can?â Sebastian seemed aggressive.
Rebecca had no idea what sort of answer Sebastian was hoping to hear from her. âWhy donât you tell me what I should do?â
âI only trust myself. In order to protect Josie from threats and not get her affected. I suppose Iâll need to make some sacrifices.â Sebastian pushed Rebecca into the corner as he spoke. You can come to me if youâre that needy of men.â
Rebecca was so astonished that she almost suffocated.
âAre you sick, Sebbie?â
She then questioned herself, âAm I hearing things? Or... Has Sebastian gone mad from all the agitation?â
âRebecca Lacroix!â yelled Sebastian.
Meanwhile, Josie fell asleep at Samuelâs house after watching a movie. Since she was deeply hurt, having anesthesia might help sedate her.
Samuel came out of the room gingerly before closing the door behind him.
The trending topics on the internet were all about Henry and Ashley. Many people discovered that Henry was actually the adopted son of the Gibson family, Ashley was Henryâs childhood sweetheart, and Henry had been threatened to get married to Josie.
In fact, the netizens even claimed that Josie was the homewrecker instead of Ashley There was a lot of scolding going around all over the internet in light of such a reversal.
Josje kept completely silent. She cleared all her tweets on Twitter and decided not to post anything.
Everyone began to presume that Josie had a guilty conscience.
2/1 Chapter 174 Samuelâs face darkened as he went to the balcony and dialed Henryâs number.
âWhat are you up to?â questioned Samuel.
âStay out of it. Just take good care of Josie Henry sounded very calm.
Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry)
ï¤Chapter 173 âDonât you know that public opinion can end a personâs life, Henry? You shut her out from the world in the past, and now you want to imprison her altogether? Those so-called fans of Josie must have been instructed by someone to circulate pictures of her everywhere.
Their objective was not only to cyberbully Josie but also to implicate her in real life, Once everyone believed that Josie was involved in Ashleyâs mishaps, the formerâs life would become a living hell.
Besides, Josie herself was very fragile, so she might not be able to take it âHenry, I donât care what youâre trying to pull. Just change your way of doing it. Iâm begging you, Joâs not that ment ally strong. You know sheâs very vulnerable,â Samuel pleaded, not having a choice but to forsake his dignity.
Even if he knew that Henry might be orchestrating some sort of scheme, he could find no means suppressing the peopleâs views of Josie. He reckoned that Henry had to be impeding his effort as well, Truth be told, Samuel had also hired someone to create an uproar of public opinion to help Josie.
âWonât you be helping her?â Henryâs voice was h oar se. âTve told you before. Show me what youâre capable of doing. Youâd have to come up with something, one way or another, so I could stop doubting your ability Henry smiled bitterly and continued, âDonât tell me youâre not confident enough to do this? Canât you keep her from harms way? Are you finally admitting that thereâs a limit to what you can do? Then give her back to me.â
âIn your dreams, Henry retorted Samuel in a low voice. âYou donât deserve Josie in your life by using and hurting her like this Henry kept quiet for a long time. He did not utter a word, nor did he offer an explanation.
âShow me what youâve got, then.â That was Henryâs last sentence before he hung up the phone.
Irritated, Samuel cursed inwardly. He tossed his phone aside and leaned against the couch. A wave of headache assailed hi âWhat the hell does Henry want?â he asked himself.
âSamuel!â Josieâs cry suddenly rang out in the room.
Immediately, Samuel stood up and rushed into the room in a panic. âJo!â
Josie had just awoken from a nightmare. She hugged Samuel at once, trembling all over.
âSamuel... Let me hide somewhere, will you? Anywhereâ
At that juncture, Josie only wished to be out of the limelight. She would rather be confined at home than go anywhere else.
She had had a nightmare.
In her nightmare, the crowd admonished her for being a jinx who killed her parents, grandfather, and even Ashley.
Samuel held Josie tightly and comforted the woman in a h o ar se voice, âOkay, okay...â
âI promise to keep you by my side at all times,â he mused.
