Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 121

“There is not enough evidence to send Spike to prison, right?” Josie asked, her breath trembling.

Because of the resentment toward Josie’s parents, Spike wanted to take their lives with his own hands.

He was… so crazy that there was not a sense of humanity left in him.

This person was simply terrifying.

“I’ve been looking for evidence all these years, Spike has been too cautious, and… he doesn’t seem to trust me. Henry shook his head at Josie. “Now it seems that Quinton is Spike’s only weakness. He would go to great lengths to fight for his son. He wanted Quinton, instead of me, to inherit all of the Gibson family’s property. That way, his son would be cleansed from the darkness he carries”

No matter how powerful Spike was, he was nothing but a gangster.

He would rather live on the e

edge than have his son live the same life.

He wished Quinton could switch places with Henry, just so the former could lead a different life.

“Spike. His extreme bias is so twisted.” Josie looked down at the ground, unwilling to look at Henry.

It had been ten years, and that was the most word Josie had heard from Henry.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” she asked.

“What you don’t know can’t hurt you. Henry took two steps towards Josie, but the latter instinctively stepped back to dodge him.

The wrongs that he had done were etched in Josie’s mind.

It was his fault.

“Henry, tell me the purpose of this, Josie looked up and said. She did not believe that Henry came to the mountains only to explain to her.

1…” Henry paused. He meant to say, “I want to remarry you.”

However, according to Cecilia, his brusqueness would scare people away, so Henry thought he would put it in a roundabout

way.

“I want to protect you in a different way” Henry carefully held Josie’s finger.

“Let’s work together.” Josie dodged Henry’s hand, annoyance was written on her face. “We could work together to deal with Spike, but we are divorced. Please show some respect.”

Henry touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and nodded. ‘Sure. Whatever you say.”

Josie’s mind was in a mess. “Henry, if you meant to say that half–heartedly. I don’t think there’s anything left to say between.

1. us.

“It’s getting late. Mr. Gibson. You should go and rest early. I have to change my room. Josie packed up and was ready to leave.

Jo, it’s so late. It’s not safe out here,” Henry said as he looked at Josie pitifully.

The rain started to pour outside the window. “It’s raining. It’s dangerous for me to leave now.”

Henry’s reluctance to leave fueled anger in Josie. Henry used to be overbearing and paranoid, but he had never shown his tantrums like that.

“Well, you’re in luck, Mr. Gibson. You can sleep in this room. I’ll just book a new room. Please check for me if Quinton comes over tonight.” Josie tossed the key card to Henry, opened the door, and dragged her suitcase away.

Jo

On her way out, Josie bumped into Zachary, who appeared from the exit.

Both of them were glued to the spot as they looked at each other.

Josie’s breath stopped, and she followed her instincts to step back. Just then, Henry came to pull her into his arms to protect her from Zachary.

Zachary raised his hand to fix his hat and shot daggers at Henry.

“Zachary…” Henry was also in shock for a long moment. He pushed Josie into the room. “Do not open the door if it isn’t me knocking.

Zachary turned around and ran away. Henry went after him.

Josie’s lips were pale, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.

If she had not seen their face before, She could see clearly this time.

Zachary was the one who kidnapped her.

Josie still remembered that the scar on the corner of Zachary’s eye was caused by Henry.

Zachary looked at Henry with murderous intent.

Josie raised her hand to cover her mouth. She stood there in panic for a long time before thinking of calling the police.

Henry was still injured. He was not fit for a fight with Zachary,

Meanwhile, at the back of the garden, Zachary ran into the back mountain in the rain, attempting to escape.

He could not go head–to–head against Henry for the moment.

Henry was chasing after him. It rained heavily and the air was cold.

“Zachary!”

Henry stretched out his hand to grab Zachary, which was met with a fist from the latter.

The two fought in the back of the mountain, causing Henry’s wound to tear apart.

“If you dare to touch Josie, I won’t hesitate to end your life.” Henry lost control and punched Zachary in the face.

“Henry, like I said ten years ago, you are no different from the kind of person I am. Zachary sneered with a cold smile. “Fuck you Henry landed a blow again, and they pulled away from each other. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

10:53 Fr, 10 May

Zachary was out of breath. Looking at the blood–stained part of Henry, he rushed up and punched the latter in the same

spot

He was hitting on Henry’s wound.

The hitting hurt so much that Henry fell to the ground. He covered his wound and clenched his fists.

Zachary glanced from right to left, picked up a rock on the ground, and rushed to smash it at Henry.

He was hell–bent on ending Henry.

If it weren’t for Henry, Zachary would not be an object of hatred in the past ten years!

“You have failed to protect your woman, Henry. You were also gullible enough to trust Ashley. You don’t have the right to make Josie stay. Go to hell!” Zachary shouted. “Josie would be rid of her problems only if you were dead! She would be better off with Samuel, not someone crazy like you!”

Zachary roared. It was true when he said Henry was no different from him.

None of them deserved to be with Josie,

Only Samuel was worthy of Josie. His heart was

as pure as a crystal. It was enviable how he was so kindhearted.

“Henry Josie chased after him. “Zachary!”

On the hillside, Josie shouted in panic.

Seeing Josie chasing after him, Zachary was panic–stricken.

Not knowing what to do, he threw away the stone in his hand and turned around to flee.

“Henry!” Josie ran over frantically and held Henry to check on his wound.

His wound was bleeding.

“You need to go to the hospital!” Josie burst into tears at the scene.

Jo… Don’t leave me alone. Henry grabbed Josie’s hand tightly but fell to the ground the next second.

Zachary was right. They were the same kind of people.

He was paranoid and crazy.

Samuel was right. Like two peas in a pod, the same kind of vileness ran in his and Spike’s blood.

His love would only suffocate and cause one to hurt.

Even so, Henry was reluctant to let go of Josie.

Henry thought John would leave all his property to the former but was left out of the will, indicating distrust toward Henry. In the end, he inherited nothing.

At that moment, Henry realized Josie was the only important thing that John refused to part with.

“Hang in there, Henry. I’ve called the police. The police and ambulance will be here soon!” Josie looked fearfully at the shirt Hained with blood and asked Henry to han

1. on.

The ambulance finally arrived, and the police soon went after Zachary

Josie appeared as though her soul had left her body. She got in the ambulance and followed Henry to the hospital with her clothes soaking wel.

Henry had said too much that day. His words were too much for her to take in.

Meanwhile, a heated argument happened in Clusia Media Group.

“I don’t care who she is. All of you could tell that Ashley’s acting was awful, and you’re telling me now that she has to be on the team! Who gave you the approvals?” Samuel got angry and threw all the documents across the table.

“Hazel will not turn up if Ashley does not participate in the show. While it’s true that this show of ours holds sentimental value to some, its costs must be recovered. This is a bet with Gibson Corporation. If…”

“Hazel won’t be acting? There’s a price to pay for breaking the contract.” Yuri was also angered by Samuel’s decision.

“Hazel’s agent said that they are willing to compensate Clusia Media Group for the loss according to the terms of her

contract.

Samuel’s hands clenched into tight fists. This must have been Ashley’s plan all along.

“Sure, she won’t be acting. Get another actress to fill her role!”

“Mr. Turner!” Yuri stood up nervously. “Let’s discuss this matter again,

“There is nothing to discuss. I would rather agree to recast anyone than have Ashley act!”

“Samuel, aren’t you making decisions based on emotions now? Ashley is not that bad of an actress!” Yuri’s head hurt from trying to mitigate.

“I remember I said I would protect her,” Samuel said as he glanced at Yuri. “If Hazel doesn’t want to shoot, then go to Agatha. She is also an A–list actress. I don’t think Agatha is worse than Hazel.”

Yuri sighed. “Right, I see that you’ve been planning this to happen.”

Obviously, Samuel was blatantly hindering Ashley’s acting career.

Suddenly, Samuel’s phone rang. That was the special ringtone he set for Josie.

“You can go on and hold the meeting Samuel felt a tightness in his chest. He tossed the documents to Yuri and turned to

leave.

Yuri sighed. In Samuel’s eyes, only Josie was the most important person.
