"Mr. Gibson, do you think you will be able to resurrect Thibbi Corporation in such a short time if you don't have Gibson Corporation's support? Samuel's eyes were boiling with anger then.

He had never used the Taibbi family as a sword to hurt Henry before, but this time, Henry had crossed Samuel's bottom

line

Since Henry was trying to sabotage the Turner family's projects, there was no need to consider their friendship any longer. "Have you ever thought about where you would be now if you grew up in an orphanage)"

Samuel Tumer""

Frightened by what she had heard. Josie let go of Samuel's wrist. "Is he crazy? That is Henry's Achilles' Heel!" she thought.

She glanced nervously at Henry and noticed the latter's furious expression.

After taking a deep breath, Josie got up and pulled Samuel. "Come with me."

In her opinion, offending Henry would do no good to the Turner family.

Even though the Turners and Henry were evenly matched, there was no reason to fight if there were alternatives.

"Henry..." Ashley, too, was disturbed by Samuel's attack. She looked at Henry nervously and prompted, “Aren't Mr. Turner and you friends? Did Josie say something to him?” Henry, without saying anything, stood up and stormed out of the place.

Both Madelyn and Rebecca were bewildered by the happenings before them. None of them dared to say anything.

"It's better to stay away when there's a clash of titans," they thought.

"When did Samuel and Josie get together?" Rebecca's alter ego, the Gossipier, took over at that moment.

Madelyn shot a glance at Rebecca with disdain. "During your time at university, I recall you took a liking to Samuel. You must not make any moves right now. He would never fall for you." "I'm Rebecca, who never commits to any man. He's merely one of the men I took a liking to Rebecca snorted after hearing Madelyn's comment..

"Mr. Turner likes Jo. Madelyn wasn't confident when she said that, but she wanted to help Josie to gain some respect from their snobbish university mate.

When Josie arrived at the bus stop after the incident, she was still nervous and scared.

"What should we do if Henry vents his anger at the Turner family?" thought Josie. "Samuel, you are not a child anymore. Why do you have to frustrate him?" she questioned. Josie was anxious.

Are you worried about him?" Samuel frowned at her question.

"I..." Samuel's accusation angered Josie. "He's nibbling like a mad dog right now. I was concerned that offending him would land you and the Turner family in hot water." bassinathar. He then reached out and pulled Josie into the bus with him.

Chapter 55

There were only a few people on the bus, most likely because it wasn't rush hour.

The two sat in the comer. Neither of them spoke along the way.

Josie quietly stared outside the bits window. Ever since she returned to the Gibson residence at the age of fifteen, the transportation she frequently used was the public bus.

She looked at the cars driving past the bus, the bright neon lights, and the vibrant world, with tears slowly welling up in her

eyes

Josie never asked for much. She only cared about living a healthy life.

Samuel was the first to break the silence after a long period of quietude. "Do you still love him?"

Josie opened her mouth, but neither a denial nor an answer came out of her mouth.

Samuel lowered his eyes. He then said. "You don't have to worry about me. It won't be easy for him to hurt the Turner family."

"He's like a mad dog now..." Josie was at a loss for words when it came to describing Henry's current condition. But she figured a mad dog was the best way to characterize him, given his readiness to bite anyone who got in his way.

Samuel glanced at Josie and probed, "I know we'll both lose if we fight, but Henry is no longer invincible. He has a weakness, and that is the Taibbi family man.

Hearing such, Josie tightened her fingers. In a whisper, she answered, "That won't be necessary."

"Why can't they both stay away from each other? Why do they have to fight each other?" she thought.

Her response rendered Samuel smiled bitterly. "It seems Josie is still worried about Henry," he thought.

"Go home early and take some rest. You don't have to attend such a gathering if... you prefer not to. Such gatherings are meaningless." Samuel left after walking Josie to her place. Josie knew Samuel wasn't happy based on his reaction.

"Hasn't your place been renovated!" Josie inquired nervously.

Her words halted Samuel. He turned to look at Josie and asked, "Would you like me to move here as soon as possible?"

Josie looked away. "Don't get me wrong. I'm just curious.

"No, the renovations have not yet been completed. It will take a few days. Samuel turned and left with disappointment.

Josie stood there for a long time. She didn't return to her senses until Samuel disappeared from her view.

"Do you like him so much?" asked Henry in a low voice while leaning against the car parked in the parking area behind the rental apartment.

He arrived at the rental house earlier than Josie since driving was faster than taking the bus.

"What is it about him that makes you rebellious, defy me, and flee from me?"

Henry stood up straight and walked up to Josie slowly. "Or, do you believe the Turner family will protect you?"

He startled Josie. She turned back sharply, and her heart started to pound.

Henry didn't say anything.

Henry walked to Josie's side, pulled the jacket away from her, and threw it into the trash can. "I wonder if I'm too nice to you, Josie. wed,

Chapter 55

Josic, who was terrified, attempted to retrieve the jacket, but Henry grabbed her wrists and pushed her against the car door,

I have the development right of the land where Harmony Supermarket now stands, and the Santalum residence in Tafledale is significant to Lewis Turner. What do you think would happen if I demolished the house because it was an unauthorized structure on the property?"

Lewis' home, the Santalum residence, was in Tulledale, where he was born and raised. Both Lewis and Josie's grandpa, John, protected the place and Santalum Alley from development together years ago. Lewis was nostalgic, and now that he was old. he returned to his hometown.

Hence, if Henry actually did what he threatened to do, he would enrage a lot of people.

Josie's lips turned pale due to anger, Josie stared at Henry with irate. "You're crazy! Grandpa Lewis has been kind to you. How could you do that to him? You're a s um ba g!"

Henry knew that Lewis was in poor health. She found it unbelievable that he would want to demolish the Santalum residence after ruining the Turner family's project.

"I'm ascumba g. If you remain an obedient girl, I will continue to be a good husband and a big brother to you. However... Josie, you are the one who forced me to be an animal." Josie's eyes welled up with tears when she heard that. Her face slowly turned pale as well.

"Why can't you just let me go? I won't find a boyfriend or get married in the future. Henry, what are you worried about? I will not try to sna c h anything from you," Josie begged Henry in tears. "Why can't he just let me go? I'm not a threat to him," she thought.

"As I said, this is your destiny..." Henry reached out and pulled Josie into his arms. He watched her cry, even though it upset

him.

Josie, why can't you listen to me? Come home with me."

"Why couldn't she be as obedient and as sensible as before? Why does she have to do things that would anger me?" He couldn't help but wonder.

Since Josie insisted on a divorce, his rage had never subsided.

"You'll be satisfied only if I go home with you, allow you to lock me inside your room, do nothing, have no contact with the outside world, don't have work, don't have friends, and don't have a life, just like a pet, is it? Josie looked up feebly.

That was what she could think of at that moment.

Josic, why do you have to think in such a way? I'm just trying to protect you from being cheated by others. Do you know what Samuel did to you previously? He's been plotting against you from the beginning Henry was panicking.

However, in Josie's view, Henry reacted in such a way because she had seen through him.

"What about you? Please, Henry, stop attempting to control me in the name of compassion!" demanded Josie after pushing Henry away.

"Do not hurt the Turner family. I will not be with Samuel or marry anyone. I will remain alone. Come at me with whatever you want!"

Josie didn't mind wasting time on Henry because she knew she was dying soon.

"Why do you have to make me angry?" Henry frowned. He learned that Josie had no intention of returning home with him. He thought, "Why does she choose to live in such a dirty and shabby place when she has the option of living a better life?"

Chapter 55

"I'm curious, Henry, what else you can do to me."

Josie smiled. She was curious as to what else Henry could do to disappoint her.

"Please inform Ashley to stop messing with me. Even rabbits would bite people when they got cornered. I know I signed a confidentiality agreement, but if she continues to challenge my bottom line, I'll ensure she becomes the most famous person in the world, just as she wishes. I am not a person who does not have a temper."
