Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 

Samuel knew that Josie must have been heartbroken by Henry’s treatment of her to react this way. 

She leaned on Samuel’s shoulder weakly as her eyes began to wander. 

Josie had never expected Henry to jump in after her when she slipped and fell into the lake. But Henry did. Yet, she was not the one that he chose to rescue. 

Thud! 

It wasn’t long before Samuel heard knocking on the door. He thought, “Sebastian knew better than to stay around. Did he forget something?” 

However, Henry was the one standing outside when Samuel opened the door. Looking like a mess because he still had wet clothes on, Henry seemed anxious as he panted heavily. “Jo…” 

Samuel frowned and blocked Henry’s way. “You should go and take care of Ashley. Don’t come and mess with Josie.” 

“I…I was wrong. Henry lowered his head as he admitted to his mistake for the first time in his life. 

Samuel took a deep breath. “There’s no point in apologizing after things have happened.” 

After all, Samuel didn’t dare to think about the consequences if Josie drowned. 

“Let me talk to Jo…” Henry’s voice became weaker and weaker. He took a step forward and stumbled to the ground. 

“Henry! Don’t fake an accident whenever you come to my house, okay?” Samuel fumed. Even though he was frustrated, he couldn’t throw Henry out just like that. 

“I’ll call Cecilia and ask her to pick him up,” Josie stated in a hoarse voice as she stood up. 

*He… Samuel threw Henry onto the couch. That was when his nose picked up on the strong smell of blood. “The wounds on his back are all opened” 

Josie replied indifferently without giving another look at Henry. “Mr. Gibson can even sacrifice his life just to save his lover.” 

“I’m here for you, Jo,” Samuel consoled as he pulled Josie into his embrace. 

Josie remained silent as she awaited Cecilia’s arrival to take Henry away. 

Meanwhile, Ashley had fallen sick after the incident, so she was currently attached to an IV drip at the Hofcaster Hospital. 

“Henry hasn’t answered my call yet?” Ashley panicked. 

She hadn’t expected Sebastian to set her up this way earlier. 

“No.” Thomas shook his head. 

“Have you investigated the background of the newcomer under Josie’s care? Get someone to teach him a lesson. Target him on the internet and uncover any scandal he has.” Ashley didn’t believe there would be no gossip surrounding a campus hunk like Sebastian when he was in film school. 

She thought, “I’ll ensure his career is over when he is just starting in the industry. That way, I would see how he will survive 

in the future.” 

“He… has no scandalous rumors. Thomas sighed. 

Chapter 107 

“No rumors or scandals? How is that possible? There were no rumors that surrounded him when he was in school?” Ashley was in disbelief. 

She wondered, “Josie is a trainee manager that just joined Clusia Media Group. This man under her is no big shot. He is just a nobody that is just starting out in the entertainment industry.” 

“I’ve asked around in Sebastian’s fan group. He is clean as a slate. He has no scandals. We… Thomas wanted to give Ashley some advice. 

“If there are no rumors that you can find, create one. Didn’t he try to protect Josie? Make a big fuss out of their relationship!” Ashley interrupted Thomas. “Don’t tell me you can’t settle this matter? You’ve already ruined the plan for today” 

Yuri had lodged a police report, and gone through the surveillance cameras, so the person who deliberately destroyed the barrier at the lake was taken into custody by the police. 

Upon hearing that, Thomas had no choice but to compromise. 

There was a knock on the door. 

Ashley lifted her head, stunned by the person before her. 

The person who showed up wore high heels, sunglasses, and a mask. Yet, Ashley knew it was Hazel 

“Ms. Locke…” Ashley clasped her hands together nervously. “Why are you here?” 

Hazel placed the flower beside her and explained to Ashley, “I was supposed to have a meal with Jo and Henry. When I heard that you guys had fallen into the lake, I decided to visit you.” 

Aware of Hazel and Henry’s relationship, Ashley was excited and edgy. “Ms. Locke, I’m honored to have you visit me personally!” 

“Oh, you silly girl.” Hazel smiled faintly. “Henry nearly died just to save you. I can see how important you are to him 

Shock overwhelmed Ashley as she looked at Hazel. Then, she lowered her head in disappointment. “No. Josie is the most important person to Henry.” 

“They are divorced.” Hazel’s words hinted at something. “You and Henry met each other in the orphanage, way before he met Josie. He likes you.” 

– 

Ashley clenched her hands nervously, nodding. “I know. Henry likes me, but he feels responsible for Josie. He can’t let her 

1. go. 

“Henry would most probably forget about Josie after she remarries. That’s why the best situation here is for both of them to marry someone else. Hazel looked at Ashley meaningfully. 

She suggested a plan to Ashley. The only way to get Henry to give up was to ensure Josie married someone else. 

Ashley looked up at Hazel as her fingers clenched her fingers further. She thought. “Is Ms. Locke on my side?” 

“Ashley, you are a fine woman. I like you very much. You are in the entertainment industry. I can provide you with support in your career, and your career will only get better and more successful. You’re just as good as anyone else. What you need to do now is take good care of yourself and Henry 

Ashley’s eyes reddened. She nodded her head vigorously. “Thank you, Ms. Locke.” 

“Ms. Locke? You are aware of my relationship with Henry. Although he doesn’t recognize me as his mother, he is still my
