Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering by Susie Cecillia
Chapter 86

Chapter 86 May

"No matter what happens, call me at once, said Samuel in a non-negotiable manner. He was really worried about Josie.

He had asked someone to investigate the past of the Gibson family. Although many things could not be investigated, there were surely some personal feuds between the Gibson family and the Taibbi family. As Henry said, it was probably not a mere coincidence that John had adopted him back then.

"Did something happen?" Josie looked up at Samuel.

"It was possibly Spike's men, but there is no evidence." Samuel didn't hide it from Josie. He didn't want to lie to Josie as Henry did.

Letting her know the truth might even help her to be more vigilant.

"Spike..." Josie frowned.

She couldn't figure it out.

She and Henry had divorced, and she had left the marriage with nothing. Henry had gotten all the assets of the Gibson family as he wished as well. "So, why is Spike still trying to mess with me? What is he still afraid of?" she wondered.

"I'm going out." Josie got up, planning to see Charles.

"Jo" Samuel was worried and wanted to follow her.

"Samuel, let me handle it myself. Give me some time." Josie shook her head at Samuel and left Samuel's house with her coat.

She didn't want to involve Samuel

Samuel cursed in frustration. Suddenly remembering something, he put on his coat and left the house as well.

Since Lewis and John were close friends, he figured Lewis surely knew about the grudges between the Taibbi family and the Gibson family.

At the subway station, Josie called Charles, but he didn't answer.

But soon, Charles called back.

"Josie, where are you?" On the phone, Charles's voice sounded anxious.

"Damn it! I can't get rid of these madment he cursed.

Charles seemed to be driving.

Suddenly, a loud bang sounded on the phone.

Josie leaped to her feet abruptly. "Something happened to Charles!" she thought.

Josie put down her phone numbly and stood there silently for a long time.

A few days ago, Spike had wan

to meet her on the roadside.

Only a few days later, someone broke into her house, and Charles was in trouble.

"Spike is really crazy," she thought

Chapter 86

Henry lowered his fingers slowly. When he heard the police siren, his face darkened. "You called the police?" "Someone broke into a private residence. As a witness, why shouldn't I call the police?" Samuel said coldly. "You will provoke Spike. Henry rubbed his eyebrows, thinking that Samuel was nothing other than an impulsive idiot.

"In the past ten years, I've been protecting Josie in my own way. The reason she survived till this day and lived to this day is that I have been covering for her! Who do you think you are to be all holier-than- thou and think that you can protect her? Did you think Grandpa John really simply picked me at a glance in the orphanage? Your most pathetic trait is your ignorance!" Henry pushed Samuel aside, leaving in a seemingly hurried state.

Samuel's Adam's apple rolled.

After hearing Henry's words, he felt nervous and unsure.

He really didn't know much about the grudges in the Gibson family.

Josie slept soundly.

She didn't hear anything and didn't know when the police arrived or what happened at her house.

When she opened her eyes, it was already half past eight

"Hello, Mr. Collins. As soon as she woke up, Josie received a call from the office.

"Today is Don Quero's show. The managers need to attend it. As for newcomers like yourself, you won't be permitted to enter the venue anyway, so you might as well rest at home for the day."

Josie hung up the phone while still feeling quite dazed. Then she got out of bed and ran out of the bedroom, feeling rather surprised.

"Samuel, I got the day off today. We can go send the puppy for its vaccination together"

Samuel was a little absent-minded as he walked out of the kitchen. He smiled at Josie. "Really? Then you can sleep for a little longer"

Josie was not sure if it was because she didn't sleep well, but her heart skipped a beat.

"Are you feeling unwell?" she asked, as Samuel didn't look well.

I'm fine, but for the next few days... don't go home first. Go and stay at Madelyn's place for a few days.” Samuel shook his head as he poured some goat milk powder and egg yolk for the puppy that was lying lazily on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Josie looked at the door subconsciously.

"A thief broke into your house. I called the police just now. Fortunately, nothing was stolen"

Josie looked at Samuel in disbelief. "A thief?"

Samuel nodded. "Everything's fine. Don't worry."

Josie's palms were sweating slightly. She knew it was not that simple.

If it was truly a thief, it was impossible that they didn't steal anything.

Buzz

Her phone rang again.

Josie quickly answered the phone, worried that something was happening to Charles.

"Josie, Mr. Taibbi is waiting for you on his yacht at Delisisle River."

It was Charles's phone, but it was someone else's voice.

"How is Charles? What do you want? Josie's voice was out of control.

"It's just a small lesson. Don't try to investigate what you shouldn't investigate, and don't involve others." After saying that, the man spoke again. "Next time, he won't be so lucky" "You're crazy!" Josie cursed, but the caller had hung up.

What on earth does Spike want? Is he trying to stop me and Charles from investigating what happened back then?" she thought.

In the inpatient department of Hofcaster Hospital, Ashley sat on the hospital bed, holding her phone tightly.

"It was Josie who forced me..." she thought.

"Ashley, Mr. Gibson clarified your relationship on Twitter last night..." Thomas walked over anxiously. "I've already asked the public relations team to handle it. Don't worry." "Josie. It has to be Josie. They were together last night, weren't they?" Ashley's eyes were full of hatred. She thought, "It must be Josie who asked Henry to post the tweet!"

"Arthur, the butler of the Gibson family, is hospitalized. Mr. Gibson doesn't want Arthur to know about the divorce," stated Thomas with a frown.

"Why is that old man still alive?" Ashley's fingers trembled violently.

"Ashley, did you call the Gibson family?" Thomas took a deep breath and grabbed Ashley's shoulder nervously. "You're just playing with fire. Once the truth is exposed, once Henry knows, the bit of guilt he feels toward you isn't going to be enough for him to tolerate your unscrupulous actions for long!

"Indeed, I called the Gibson family. Henry said that Arthur was in poor health. He said he wanted to remarry Josie. Of course, I can't let him remarry. It wasn't easy for me to get to this stage. Once the old man dies, then Henry would have no reason to remarry Josie, right?"

Ashley's voice was trembling.

Thomas looked at Ashley in shock, thinking that she was indeed getting crazier and crazier. "You must really have lost your mind... Ashley, can't you tell? Henry loves Josie. Although he mentioned Arthur's poor health, he was merely using it as an excuse to remarry Josie. Even if you manage to anger Arthur to death, Henry would still have countless reasons to remarry Josie!"

FES FOR F

Thomas wanted Ashley to be more rational. He went on, "As I said, let's plan for it long-term. Let's take it slow. As long as Josie doesn't agree to remarry, and you continue to stay with Mr. Gibson, he will eventually see your goodness. Why can't you bear with it a little longer..."

Thomas wanted Ashley to deepen the guilt in Henry's heart. In the end, even if Henry didn't love Ashley, Henry might at least still take her as his wife simply out of guilt.

But Ashley had to make the situation difficult for herself.

"Wait? All you know is to ask me to wait. How long can I wait? Do you think I will always be this young and beautiful? Zachary is back! If he catches me and takes me back, he will destroy me. I can't wait anymore. I have to be Henry's wife. I must at least be his legal spouse!*

All she wanted was the legal status as Henry's wife, that and nothing more.

That identity would protect her.

As long as she became Henry's legal wife, she would feel at ease.
