Josie and Samuel were at Samuel's residence.
Josie followed Samuel back home and was already feeling sleepy when they got there. "Nina is lucky."
"Are you envious of her?" Samuel closed the door and pressed Josie in the corner. He lowered his head and kissed her, gently brushing her lips with his.
"I used to feel as if I had been labeled as a divorcee by the entire world after the divorce, and I thought I would never meet the right person again..." Josie lowered her head and whispered again, "But things turn out the opposite... Look how lucky Nina and I are. We both have met the right person."
Josie stood on tiptoe and held Samuel's cheek to kiss him again.
Meanwhile, at the police station in Hofcaster.
Zachary was released from prison because Ashley had personally dismissed the case, saying she had not been substantially injured and decided not to pursue the matter.
Zachary lit a cigarette as soon as he left the police station.
Henry was waiting for him outside the police station.
"You... helped me?" Zachary was a little curious and wondered, "What method did Henry use to make a woman like Ashley change her mind?"
"Not me. It was Spike." Henry looked up, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked as if he barely had enough sleep.
"Did you not sleep well because you were worried about me?" Zachary teased Henry.
"Don't you want to know how Spike did it?" Henry's voice was a little hoarse.
"It's definitely not in a good way anyway. Spike is..." Zachary shook his head.
"Let's go. Spike asked me to pick you up and take you back to the gang." Obviously, Spike was trying to intimidate Henry by asking him to pick up Zachary deliberately.
Spike probably suspected that Henry also had a part in framing Zachary.
"Spike must have trusted you very much now. However, this person is vigilant, so you'll still need to pay more attention to him. Once he..." Henry glanced at Zachary.
"I have nothing to worry about now." Zachary smiled.
Ashley had also confessed to Zachary about their father's death. Zachary believed justice would be served for their father's grievances one day.
Therefore, Zachary didn't care whether he was dead or alive anymore.
After all, Zachary initially could not find the reason to be alive either.
Henry glanced at Zachary and knew that he was giving up on himself. "You can't do anything stupid before the matter is solved. Don't you want to see your father's grievances redressed?"
Zachary nodded. "Don't worry. I'm on my guard."
Henry breathed a sigh of relief and drove to the gang.
"Before we take down Spike, we need to find a way to get rid of Hazel and Silas and use Spike to let them fight each other," said Henry.
Zachary nodded in agreement. He had thought about the same thing too.
Meanwhile, Ashley was at Hazel's residence.
Ashley was hiding in the corner and kept crying.
Hazel was furious that Ashley was disobedient. However, Ashley reaped what she sowed and couldn't blame others but herself for putting herself at risk.
"We can't let Henry know anything about this matter. No man can accept that his woman is tarnished." Hazel frowned. "If you truly want to marry Henry, these things must be destroyed."
Ashley cried as she shook her head. "What should I do? What am I supposed to do? Thomas is not here... No one is truly willing to help me."
"Josie has no direct evidence to prove that Thomas is involved in the kidnap. I will find a way to help you find Thomas, but you must not be reckless anymore. If there is another one, no one can help you," Hazel said as she muttered to herself, "Ashley, you're such an idiot..."
However, Ashley was still of use to Hazel now. The more information she had on Ashley, the more reassured she was.
As long as Ashley successfully married Henry, Hazel would have enough leverage in her hand to let Ashley listen to her.
Ashley certainly didn't know what Hazel was up to. After all, Hazel was Henry's biological mother.
She just wanted to please Hazel.
