Hazel had trained Ashley for so long because she wanted to use her one day.
Obviously, she would never bother to talk to an idiot like Ashley if she had no need for her.
Since Henry cared about Ashley, Hazel would naturally care about her, too.
After all, Josie was a disobedient girl.
Josie was very stubborn and stupid. She was like Kathy.
If such a woman died, her death would be due to her stupidity.
An example would be Kathy.
That year, if Kathy obediently stayed away from Hayden, she would still be alive.
After hanging up Hazel's call, Ashley sat on the sofa nervously and clenched her fists.
Her breathing was quick, and Ashley's eyes were red.
Ashley ran into the bathroom, turned on the water, and began to wash herself.
Since the incident, she seemed to have developed mysophobia. She had to take a shower many times a day as if it was the only way to clean herself up.
Submerged in the bathtub, Ashley held herself tightly and sobbed. "I'm not wrong... I'm not. I just want to live. I want a better life. What's wrong with that?"
"Ah!" Suddenly, there was a noise in the living room, and Ashley screamed with fear.
Since being scared by Samuel, Ashley often had visual and auditory hallucinations.
Presently, she heard a voice that others could not hear and had a hallucination.
"Don't look for me. Don't look for me. It's not me. It's really not me. I didn't kill you. I really didn't know it was so serious, Jeremy... I really didn't know it was so serious..."
Ashley held herself and kept crying.
She really did not know that lying to the police would be so serious that Zachary's father would end his life in the detention center due to the humiliation.
She really did not expect what would happen at that time. She just wanted the Long family to stop adopting her and let her return to the orphanage to wait for the next family.
She was just unwilling to accept that Henry could be adopted by a wealthy family like the Gibson family, but she was only adopted by an ordinary working-class family.
She should not live such a life.
She should stand in the spotlight, in the most dazzling place.
She was born to be a princess.
Why must she live in the lower echelons of society?
She just wanted a better life. What was wrong with that?
In Clusia Corporation, Josie walked out of the office and saw the new employee.
"What a coincidence, Josie." The girl named Matilda greeted Josie.
Josie was stunned for a moment. She had obviously removed her information from the newcomer's profile. Why did Matilda still come to the company to report?
"Josie, are you surprised to see me? Do you think that just because you don't want me, no one in Clusia Media Group would?" Matilda sneered. "Josie, I didn't believe it when Ashley's fans said that you were vicious. It turns out that you are really so nasty."
Josie frowned.
"Are you so afraid of me entering the company? Do you think I would take Samuel away?" Matilda scoffed. "You don't know who the CEO of Clusia Media Group is, do you? Clusia Media Group has a contract with Langford Group. It is a secret that cannot be disclosed before the company goes public."
Matilda's face darkened, and she panicked slightly.
She was just a newly graduated girl, and her prowess was still weaker than that of Josie.
Josie was humble only when she loved Henry. She was a member of the Gibson family and was treated like a little princess by Hayden and Kathy.
She thought, "I have parents too. Why should I let Matilda have her way?"
Originally, Josie thought that Matilda was young and that Matilda did not know her well. But Josie did not expect Matilda's attitude to get worse.
"I don't know what you're talking about. You said that I said it. Do you have any evidence?" Matilda thought, "I'd better not admit it."
Her conversation with Josie was accidental, and Josie could not have prepared the recording.
In fact, Josie just started recording, but she was just engaging in psychological warfare.
"Josie! You are so mean!" Matilda wanted to grab the recording pen.
Josie's face darkened, and she took a step back. "I'll let you go this time. However, next time, no one will spoil you. Remember that."
Matilda gritted her teeth and thought, "Josie! That was too much!"
"Matilda, I'm so sorry. We can't accept you into the company."
Matilda's eyes turned red with anger. "Josie and Samuel!" she thought.
