Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 258

Cecilia left the office with reddened eyes.

Ashley walked into the office in surprise. "Henry, what's wrong with Cecilia?"

She never liked Cecilia, who worked as Henry's assistant and was very hostile to her.

Ashley had been trying to get Henry away from Cecilia and waiting for Thomas to show himself.

"Hang in there. I will find a way to get her away from Henry once Thomas shows himself," Ashley thought.

"She doesn't like you, and I'm slightly annoyed by it. You are mine, and she doesn't have the right to say anything about us. So I got her transferred, and she's a little mad about it," explained Henry indifferently.

Ashley suddenly paused in her tracks and looked at Henry in astonishment. Her eyes slowly turned red. "Henry..."

It was impossible that she didn't feel touched after hearing that.

There was a time when Henry was nice to her, but he only treated her as if she was his younger sister and would only remain like that forever.

However, she finally experienced the feeling of being loved by Henry now.

He was deeply in love with her.

Ashley was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, including joy and also fear.

She wanted to cherish her hard-earned happiness, but she feared Hazel might take it away anytime.

"Henry, you are so kind to me." Flustered, Ashley clenched Henry's hand and kept silent for a long time with her head dropped.

She thought, "I will never let that happen. No one can take away my happiness. Since Hazel has something on me and tries to threaten me, I have no choice but to strike first, have leverage on her, and send her away. Only after eliminating all the hidden dangers can I be with Henry carefree. That's the only way I can live without worry. Since I've come this far, I will never give up."

Henry asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? What's on your mind?"

Ashley looked up at Henry. "Henry, you're right. Ms. Locke met me and asked me to persuade you to collaborate with Silas. She's using my future to threaten me. Henry, what should I do? She is a predecessor in this industry. It's easy for her to ruin me for good."

Henry frowned. "If you don't want to be threatened by others, you must have something on them and make the first move. Do you understand?"

Ashley's heart skipped a beat as Henry was being too serious.

"Ashley, the reason why I divorced Josie was that she was too weak. The people around me must not be a hidden threat to me. Do you understand?" asked Henry indifferently.

Ashley's breath became heavier as she thought, "He's right. How could I ever replace Josie and stay by his side? Even if I am useless to him, I should never be his weakness. At least, I should not allow the other party to have dirt or something on me, especially when Henry and Hazel are in a strained relationship."

"I-I get it, Henry. I'll take care of it myself," replied Ashley nervously and exclaimed inwardly, "Once Thomas shows himself, I will find a way to get rid of Hazel."

She knew one of Hazel's secrets.

Hazel had something to do with the death of Josie's parents.

As long as the driver who killed Hayden and Kathy in the car accident confessed that Hazel gave him the order, Hazel could never plead innocence.

With that, she had to find a way as soon as possible.

"Thomas will show up soon. Don't worry too much," said Henry indifferently.

"Henry, thank you. Have some of these first. I made them myself." She had been learning to cook recently as she wanted to cook for Henry.

"I have another meeting, so I must leave for a while. Leave them here. I'll eat them when I return. You should go back and have a good rest." Henry flashed her a soft smile.

Henry always managed to coax Ashley by being gentle. She nodded and left the office. "Henry, don't forget to eat. They're all your favorite."

"Okay. I will." Henry nodded.

As soon as Ashley left, Henry's face darkened. He took a seat and closed his eyes annoyed in helplessness.
