Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170 

“Have you seen the news on the Internet?” Samuel asked as he looked at Josie nervously. 

Josie’s eyes had already reddened, and she felt goosebumps all over her body. She looked at Samuel and nodded in 

response. 

“Is Henry still over there?” Samuel asked in a low voice as he stood outside the door. 

Actually, Josie had wanted to dash forward so that Samuel could hug her. 

Samuel, too, wanted to hug Josie and comfort her. 

However, both of them had 

many concerns. 

Samuel was afraid of putting too much pressure on Josie. After all, she had already chosen to remarry Henry. 

As for Josie, she was afraid she would drag Samuel into the matter again. Since she did not know the future, she dared not make promises easily. 

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll give Henry a call. He should come to keep you company in times like this.” Samuel wanted to call Henry 

at that! 

“There’s no need… Josie shook her head. “No matter how bad Ashley is, it’s true that… she had rescued Henry. She’s a special person to Henry. She chose to return to the old cellar to end her life. I think she bet that… Henry would feel guilty for the 

rest of his life.” 

Josie’s voice trembled. 

Josie remarked inwardly. “Indeed, Ashley is smart… She bet that Henry would agree to her request because of guilt. Even if she lost the bet and died, she knew Henry would feel guilty for the rest of his life.” 

“That woman doesn’t deserve it.” Samuel frowned as he added, “If Henry compromises again because of such a woman, he is not worthy of you either! 

Josie lowered her head and said nothing. 

As such, they remained standing, one outside the door and the other inside 

Meanwhile, outside the courtyard, Henry came running in panic. He had been running back because the traffic was congested. 

Henry was afraid that Josie, who was home alone, would overthink things. After all, it was a big issue, and the public opinion on social media was overwhelmingly biased toward Ashley. 

Thus, Henry was really scared. 

When he came running to the courtyard, he caught sight of Samuel. 

Samuel stayed outside the door, while Josie stayed indoors. 

The two of them just stood there. 

Henry naturally hid behind the wall. As he breathed heavily, tears started forming in his eyes. 

“I just realized now that… I’d completely lost Josie, Henry thought.

Henry smiled wryly and slowly stood up straight. Then, he turned to leave. 

“I don’t have to worry since someone is keeping her company… Zachary is right. Samuel is truly the most suitable man for Josie. Josie and I are both mentally ill. We’ll only torture each other if we get together…” Henry remarked inwardly. 

After taking a deep breath, Henry slowly walked away. 

He thought it was all fate, and he was destined for it ever since Hazel abandoned him at the orphanage. 

Soon, it was midnight. 

Josie sat on the sofa with Madelyn, Samuel, Sebastian, and Rebecca. 

Samuel worried that Josie would feel scared when she was alone. Hence, he asked all her trusted friends to come over. 

“Hello?” Samuel’s phone rang, and the caller was Henry, 

“Ashley’s condition has stabilized, but the chances of her awakening are very low. They can only keep her under observation by now.” Henry verily sounded tired. 

“Are you sure she isn’t faking it?” Samuel questioned with a frown. 

“Yes.” Henry replied in a deep voice. 

“Anyhow, her manager is there. Are you not worried that Jo is home alone?” Samuel lowered his voice as he spoke. Then, he stood up and walked to the balcony. 

“I’m not going back… Please stay with her.” 

After saying that, Henry hung up the phone. 

The news of Ashley’s incident and her unconsciousness soon spread widely on the Internet. 

Ashley’s fans, who did not bother to think things through, began to protest. Sure enough, Clusia Media Group was impacted. 

As such, Josie was entitled to holidays. Her artists would then be delegated to some other managers temporarily.. 

Both Rebecca and Sebastian wished so badly that things could end soon. 

Currently, public opinion was no longer biased toward Ashley. Gradually, some people started supporting Josie, saying that Josie, the wife, was the most pitiful person. 

Nonetheless, as human lives were invaluable, Josie’s anti–fans were unstoppable. 

Sure enough, someone was controlling the anti–fans on the Internet. 

Perhaps Ashley had already expected it to happen, or some other people were also putting pressure on Josie and Henry. 

“Ashley is a person who values her life. I don’t understand. Why would she take such risks? Did she really love Henry that much?” Josie wondered. 

[Josie! You should die!] 

[Josic, go to hell!] 

[Josie, you forced Ashley to her dead! Let Ashley have Henry!] 

Some immoral fans would always scold and curse at Josie on the Internet. 

Chapter 170 

Those people spotted all sorts of spiteful remarks and did the craziest things. 

It made Josie feel horrified, and she was at a loss. 

It had never occurred to her that cyber violence could be much horrifying. 

Since Josde could not go anywhere, she had been staying at home all that while, 

During that period, Henry only came back once. He left right after getting some of his casual clothes. 

Josie had no idea whether Heiny had been sleeping in the office or that he had been taking care of Ashley every day. 

In truth, Josie would feel sad for a very long time if such a thing happened in the past. 

However, Josie felt at peace by now. 

When Henry came home for the second time, Josie sat on the sofa and uttered, I’m sorry… I didn’t expect… she would do such an extreme act? 

“Didn’t you promise that you’ll have your trust in me? I said that no matter what has happened, I’ll help you to take care of it,” Henry said in a low voice alter walking up to Josie. 

“Mmm…” Josie nodded. 

“This matter has nothing to do with you. Ashley did not intend to end her life either. The police are still investigating the incident. Please don’t blame yourself for it. Another thing is that I didn’t ask anyone to suppress public opinion on the Internet. You may have to bear with it for a while. Sorry to have made you go through that,” said Henry. 

Henry then raised his hand and wanted to pat Josie’s head to comfort her. However, he eventually put down his hand and added, “Don’t be afraid. From now onward, don’t be afraid of any of my decision. Don’t be afraid no matter what happens to 

me.” 

Josie was panic–stricken. She did not know what Henry wanted to do, 

Josie raised her head nervously. As she looked at Henry, her eyes had already reddened. “Henry… What do you want to do?” 

“We’re in a partnership, aren’t we? Of course, I want to help you to bring the bad guy to justice as soon as possible.” Henry smiled and mustered up the courage to embrace Josie in his arms. “Don’t worry. I will not spare whoever hurt you, Henry added. 

Josie was in a daze as she looked at Henry. Her breathing was a mess even after Henry had left. 

When Henry entered the elevator in the parking lot, reporters were everywhere, taking photos of him. 

All the public opinions were in favor of Ashley, People were saying that Henry and Ashley’s feelings were mutual, and that it was Josie who was dying to break up their relationship. 

People also mentioned that Henry and Ashley were childhood sweethearts. The two had already decided to get married. when they were young. It was Josie who had taken advantage of her family background and forced Henry to marry her. 

“Hazel came to the gang that day, Zachary informed. He was wearing a baseball cap while standing at the emergency exit to 

smoke. 

Henry reached out his hand to ask for a cigarette. 

“This is a low–quality cigarette. Do you want it, too?” Zachary asked with a frown. 

Henry did not utter a word and lighted the cigarette himself.

“What’s your plan? The public opinion has seriously affected Jo now.” Zachary furrowed his eyebrows. “Keep a close eye on Spike. I’ll deal with the rest,” Henry uttered quietly. 

“That Hazel is not easy to deal with. If Spike is doomed, I’m certain it’s Hazel’s doing. Take a guess what’s in my photo album, Zachary said in jest 

Henry knitted his brows. He did not like people beating around the bush. 

“Look. It showed that Hazel was having an affair with Spike’s most trusted subordinate.
