Chapter 20
Ashley, who was wearing sunglasses and a cap, walked into a restaurant along the coast After she went into the private room, only did she take them off. I’m surprised you’re willing to see me, Josie.
“A celebrity has asked to meet me. Of course, I’d be glad to oblige. Josie waited for Ashley to take a seat before she continued. “You are the one who spread the news.
“What are you talking about? 1 do not know anything about that.” Ashley pretended to be innocent.
There are no outsiders here. I know what you want.” Josie knew what Ashley wanted from the beginning.
“Do you think I’ll divorce Henry as you wish just because you got reporters to spread rumors about me daily?” questioned Jose mockingly, hinting that Ashley’s actions were rather childish.
There were much more complications between Josie and Henry than Ashley had imagined.
If it hadn’t been because Josie had completely given up on Henry, she wouldn’t have asked him for a divorce if she could still tolerate it.
What made her decide to file for divorce was that Henry didn’t love her at all and didn’t care whether she was alive or dead. On top of that, she would not be able to live long anyway.
Ashley gritted her teeth. She hated Josie’s condescending attitude the most
“Don’t do such a childish thing again. Only a few people know about our marriage. If I really looked into it, you’ll be caught red–handed in no time, so stop challenging me. After saying, Josie stood up and made to leave.
“You’ve always been so arrogant, Josie. Henry is nothing more than an adopted child from an orphanage to you, right?” said Ashley.
Josie turned hack and clenched her fists.
“Henry was adopted, but he is my husband and the righteous heir of Gibson Corporation.”
“But you two are going to divorce soon,” stated Ashley aggressively.
“Yes, we’re getting divorced. You should mind your own business and don’t stir up trouble again. Otherwise, if I change my mind, you will never be able to show your face in public anymore: Josie warned Ashley word by word before she opened the door and left.
Ashley’s face contorted from anger. When she was sure Josie had left, she took out the recording pen from her pocket.
Edit this and reveal it to the public.
“Do you really think you can make Henry marry you with an edited recording?” Thomas thought Ashley’s plan was unrealistic and that she would likely shoot herself in the foot.
“No, this is just the beginning. You have to help me with one more important thing.” Ashley giggled and whispered her plan
in Thomas‘ cars.
Thomas stared at Ashley in shock and exclaimed inwardly, “This woman is cruel indeed.”
After Josie left the restaurant, she hid in a corner for a long time.
She took out the painkiller from her bag with trembling tingers and swallowed it to relieve her pain.
After taking a deep breath, Josie looked up at the sky.
Jo, that b’stard, Henry, must have said something to my superiors. I got fired.” Madelyn, who was burning with rage, came to see Josie
Josie grabbed Madelyn’s wrist with her numb fingers and asked with a trembling voice, “Did Henry talk to your superior?”
The warm tears she shed burned her skin as she thought, “Henry knows very well that I don’t really have any friends except for Madelyn. He is also aware that I lost my parents when I was fifteen and then my grandfather three years ago. He knows how much Madelyn means to me. He clearly knows all this.”
Josie knew that Henry did everything on purpose to get to her.
