Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199
“Look, Henry is here!”
“Oh, my Go d. He’s so
handsome.”
“Is that his bodyguard behind him? He’s handsome, too.”
Henry came to attend the charity dinner. He had to attend this kind of dinner.
It was also a facade to the outside world. Gibson Corporation was fine, and he was fine. Everything was going as planned.
This was so that no one would see it as an opportunity to attack Gibson Corporation.
“Something happened to the Turner family. Samuel’s eldest sister got divorced, and her husband took away the company’s project fund, Cecilia said in Henry’s car.
“No one from Turner Corporation is coming?” Given the situation, it made more sense for Samuel to show up.
“Not sure yet.”
Henry’s expression darkened. Without saying anything, he went to his seat and sat down.
It was the first time that Zachary had attended such an upper-class gathering, but his heart was full of sneer and irony.
He had known from a very young age that there was darkness behind the huge wealth, and the money of these people was not clean
“Don’t just stand there. You either sit down or get out.” Henry was troubled by the presence of Zachary because the latter was sent by Spike to keep an eye on Henry, so Zachary had a sensitive identity.
Zachary stood quietly, unfazed. “I’m a bodyguard. Other bodyguards are standing, so there’s no reason why I should sit down.”
Henry ignored Zachary. “He can stand if he wants to,” Henry thought.
“Did you see the auction items up there? A painting, regardless of its value, can cost up to tens of thousands of dollars, e hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the bidder would just leave it at home and forget about its existence. This is for th purpose of charitable donation, Henry said in a deep voice.
Zachary looked left and right as he wondered if Henry was talking to him.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zachary snorted coldly. “Money is just a number for you people.”
But for ordinary people like them, it would take a lifetime to earn it.
“Do you care about money?” Henry asked.
“Who doesn’t? Aren’t you guys fighting for money anyway? It’s just that the wealth accumulated by your families for several generations is an amount that’s beyond our reach,” Zachary sneered.
Henry did not say much more and looked at the seat beside him “The organizer is good at arranging seats for me to sit with
Samuel
“I don’t think he’ll come, Zachary guessed. After all, Josie was the most important matter to Samuel.
The heat of public opinion had not gone down. It was inconvenient for Josie to appear in the public’s sight now, so Samuel would naturally not come, too.

Chapter 199
“He will.” Henry raised his hand and held his chin.
If Samuel wanted to support the Turner family, he must come.
Sometimes, one had no choice when the burden fell on them.
This was also the only way for Samuel to grow up.
There are not so many wonderful things in the world. If there are, someone must be carrying the weight for you.” Henry’s voice was h oars e and deep as if he was talking to himself.
The reason why Samuel could be willful to this day was that his grandfather, father, and eldest sister had taken on the burden for him.
But now, if he wanted to give Josie a stable future and support the Turner family, he must learn to take responsibility.
The process of growing up for men was painful and cruel.
“Mr. Gibson, can we have a drink?” There was a dinner party before the auction began, and after that, it was a coc ktail party.
All the celebrities who came to the party would take the opportunity to talk to the CEOs of these groups and seize their opportunities as much as possible.
Henry raised his hand and took a sip. He seemed uninterested.
The woman felt the tension and left embarrassedly.
Henry glanced at Zachary. “Aren’t you my bodyguard? Drink on my behalf.”
Zachary glared at Henry, knowing that Henry was deliberately kidding him.
“Drink on your behalf? Big deal! I was already a good drinker when you’re busy hitting on girls in college, Mr. Gibson,” Zachary said sarcastically as he reached out to take the glass from the waiter.
“Mr. Gibson…”
“Mr. Gibson has a weak kidney. I’ll drink it for him. Zachary stood in front of Henry rascally.
“Ahem!” Henry almost choked himself with a mouthful of champagne. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger.
Several women came to please Henry, but Zachary was also handsome, which made them a little shy.
After a toast, Zachary raised his head and drank it all.
Henry looked at Zachary with disdain. Zachary struck him as being rude, a rascal, and insane.
“Long time no see, Mr. Gibson.” It was Charles behind him.
Charles had not seen Henry in the company for a long time which explained his sarcastic tone.
Sitting behind Henry, Charles kicked the chair. “Do you not want your company anymore?”
The dark circles under Charles’ eyes came out, and he was so busy that he was not in the mood to ask girls out. “Mr. Gibson, is your lover still sleeping? Are you so busy that you don’t even have time for the company? I knew it. The adopted ones just won’t give as much effort”
Charles’ words were provocative because he knew what could annoy Henry, so he deliberately riled up Henry
Henry tightened his grip on the glass and said nothing:

“Do you office workers all have weak kidneys?” Zachary looked back at Charles and thought that he was not a decent one either since Charles previously conspired with Ashley to harm Josie.
“Who are you talking about?” Charles was almost furious but put up with it because of the situation. “Henry, are you Putting a timed bomb around yourself.”
u crazy?
Henry smiled and did not say anything..
Inside the venue, Rebecca dragged Sebastian away. Jessica was left alone temporarily, looking awkward.
Jessica was a newcomer, so she knew no one there, and she had no background.
She looked down at the ground nervously because of the dark history of her past. She was a little self-conscious.
All these years in Caligo Club, she had been in contact with people from this circle.
The people in this circle all looked glamorous, but they were dirty and scary people behind closed doors.
“Is it really you, Jessica?” Someone came to talk to her again.
Jessica was so nervous her palms were sweating. “Hello, What a coincidence.”
Kyle was also a regular of Caligo Club, a filthy silver spoon guy.
“Are you a celebrity now, Jessica? Have you graduated?” Kyle came forward to hold Jessica, not treating her as an outsider.
Jessica dodged and took a step back, feeling vigilant.
She was an escort in Caligo C
Club, but she had already left the club!
“Mr. Roth, can’t you tell that she’s not interested?” his friends teased behind him. “You do look good, little beauty. Why don’t
you join us?”
Jessica ignored them and turned to leave.
Kyle was left looking bad and chased after her with a gloomy expression. “Hey, now that you’ve changed your identity, are you pretending to be all high and mighty? What is this? Are you just trying to be a bi tch?”
Jessica did not respond. She could not afford to offend these people.
“I thought I heard a dog barking.” Quinton walked over from the entrance. He was dressed in a suit with a cold light in his eyes.
Quinton wrapped his arms around Jessica. His voice became soffer when he said, “I knew you would be bitten by a dog. I should have come with you from the beginning.”
Jessica’s eyes turned red, and she tightly held Quinton’s arm.
“Your” Kyle wanted to step forward, but he was pulled by the person behind him.
