Chapter 225
Ashley was in a dilemma. “Hazel, it depends on what Henry wants.”
“He is willing to care about you.” Hazel sat on the couch smiling and left Ashley a piece of paper with her phone number. “Ashley, tell me what you want. I will try my best to satisfy you.”
“Hazel, can you help me ask about Thomas‘ matter?” Ashley still wanted to release Thomas on bail. She didn’t
have someone to trust.
No one could replace Thomas.
“Thomas?” Hazel pretended to ponder the issue. “I know he abducted Josie. If Josie doesn’t withdraw the lawsuit, I’m afraid…”
Ashley lowered her head nervously. “Is begging Josie the only way out now? She won’t agree to my request!”
“Some people prefer to solve things harshly. You can threaten her,” Hazel said indifferently. “Find Josie’s weakness or something you can exchange that with.”
Ashley was stunned for a moment and didn’t know where to start.
“You know this man, don’t you? He is under Spike now.” If Hazel wanted to retaliate against Spike, she would take revenge on the people around him.
Zachary was Spike’s confidant.
“Zachary!” Ashley nodded. She knew Zachary and would recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes.
“Zachary and Josie have a relationship in private. My people have found that Zachary secretly protected Josie for ten years.” Hazel raised her eyebrow.
Ashley was nervous. “You want me to…”
“Provoke Zachary, and call the police and say he wants to force you under him. Then, negotiate with Josie, tell her she should withdraw the lawsuit if she wants Zachary to be safe,” Hazel advised Ashley.
In this way, she could kill two birds with one stone, giving Spike a warning.
Ashley clenched her fingers subconsciously. This time, she went to Kismet Church and vowed that she would not

do anything wrong in the future.
“…” Ashley was a little distressed.
“Hmm?” Hazel looked at Ashley. “Wasn’t Ashley good at this?” she pondered.
“Okay.” Ashley nodded.
That was the only way she could get Thomas back.
Meanwhile, at Samuel’s house.
Josie took a good bath. Her skin was ashen, and it looked lifeless.
“Samuel!” After taking a shower, Josie wrapped herself in a bath towel.
Samuel was afraid Josie would slip, so he paved a large piece of the non–slip absorbent mat in the bathroom.
Walking on the cushion, Josie smiled secretly.
Samuel stood up nervously outside the door. “Jo, what’s wrong?”
He was worried even though Josie was just taking a shower.
He was afraid that she would choke and fall in the bathroom.
Josie opened the door a little and said cautiously, “Pass me my pajamas.”
Samuel hurried to the bedroom, took Josie’s pajamas, and handed them to her.
Josie’s ears turned red, and she took over her pajamas and closed the door.
“I cooked oatmeal. Have some.”
Samuel cooked oatmeal for Josie.
“All right!” Josie nodded.
Samuel smiled. “Should I take you out for a walk tomorrow?”
“I want to work.” Josie looked up and pleaded with Samuel.

subsidies for severe illnesses.
It warmed her heart.
This made her feel embarrassed to resign.
Samuel flicked Josie’s forehead casually. “No.”
“She was only discharged from the hospital. Why is she so eager to return to work?” Samuel pondered.
“Samuel…” Josie grabbed Samuel’s arm and shook it.
By Samuel’s side, Josie felt that her most notable change was that she had learned to act kittenish.
It turned out every woman knew how to act kittenish.
Only when she met the right partner and was spoiled by his brazen pampering could she act kittenishly.
Samuel’s throat tightened. Josie knew how to deal with him.
“Next week.”
It was his biggest step back.
“Okay!” Josie agreed cheerfully.
Samuel raised his eyebrows and felt that Josie had tricked him.
She probably wanted to go to work next week anyway.
“There is one thing I’ve always wanted to ask you. Yuri and Madelyn…” Josie was worried that Yuri was only fooling around with Madelyn.
“Yuri’s parents gave all the heirlooms to Madelyn. If they break up, Yuri will suffer losses.” Samuel took Josie to
the terrace to sunbathe.
Josie consunted the oatmeal obediently, looked up at the clear sky tinged with soft sunshine, and smiled
happily.

The sky seemed to grow clearer.
“Samuel…” Josie looked at the sky and shouted, “I’m reborn!”
“Jo, drink it while it’s still hot. Otherwise, it won’t taste good later.” While working, Samuel would wear glasses, revealing his sharp jawline.
He pulled Josie into his arms and gently typed on the keyboard.
“Did my matter trouble you a lot?” Josie asked in a low voice.
“It’s so hard to make money to support our family.” Samuel smiled.
Josie leaned against Samuel’s shoulder and quietly closed her eyes to feel the warmth of sunshine.
Samuel’s smile grew more profound. He tapped on the keyboard, switched off the computer, and sent a message to Nina.
He had to accompany Josie first.
At Turner Corporation, Nina was so busy that she let out a peal of helpless laughter when she saw the message from Samuel.
“Ha! Samuel only knew how to take care of his woman!” she mused.
“Ms. Turner, this contract needs to be signed by you.” The assistant came over with the contract.
Nina took a look and nodded. “Put it here first. I’ll deal with it later.”
“By the way, Ms. Turner, Mr. Langford from Sloummont will come to Hofcaster this week.”
The Langford family could help the Turner family, who were in trouble.
Moreover, her divorce lawsuit had a significant impact on the company. Only that man could help the Turner family get out of trouble.
He was an influential figure in Sloummont, and everyone had to listen to him.
