Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 259

"You should just worry about yourself." Henry smiled helplessly. "Looks like Spike and I protected you too well. You don't even know the dangers you have to face in the business community and society."

"Protected me too well? Are you sure you were protecting me when I was abroad those few years? You obviously felt disgusted with me and asked someone to monitor me." Quinton was very unconvinced.

"That's what you always thought about me?" Henry felt defeated and didn't want to explain further.

Like Josie, Quinton always misunderstood his intention.

It was true that he had not done well, and he never communicated with either of them properly.

Ordinary people would think that he was monitoring and oppressing Quinton. Anyone with a shred of common sense would think that Henry didn't love Josie.

Yet, that was what he wanted to achieve.

In Spike's eyes, the more Henry hated Quinton, the safer the both of them would be.

After all, awaiting the chance to act and take advantage would be a better solution for them to keep their safety.

As for Josie, the less he cared about Josie, the more Henry could have Spike and Hazel focus on him by putting on an act of taking everything from the Gibson family, which caused Josie to lose everything.

This could make those two enemies look down on Josie so they wouldn't target her.

"Henry, what exactly are you thinking?" Quinton took a deep breath and didn't want to quarrel with Henry.

They didn't have to quarrel.

"Give up on everything and start over again? Do you feel that you are upset because you have all the Gibson family's property? But John owed the Taibbi family. He should have given it to you." Seeing that Henry didn't respond, Quinton frowned.

"Anything owed to the Taibbi family should be given to you. You just go ahead and take it. I'm not from the Taibbi family, so it has nothing to do with me." Henry resisted accepting that he had relationships with the Taibbi family.

He wanted to sever his ties with Spike for good.

"Henry..." Quinton frowned. "Do you really want to leave and start a business? Take me with you. Anything you don't want, I don't want it either."

It was not like Quinton was short of money.

"I didn't give those to you so that you can spend all of it to enjoy life. I want you to prove to yourself, everyone, and to Jessica that you are not a loser who only knows how to eat and drink." Henry's words sounded harsh, but what he said was right.

Quinton gritted his teeth and turned his gaze away. His eyes turned red with tears.

"Why did this bastard suddenly become so sensational?" Quinton thought.

"I had informed the police about Dad... I mean Spike's crime, but I didn't have much evidence in my hand. I've submitted what I had to the police. Don't worry. I'll go back and try once more when he trusts me again after a certain time." Quinton said in a muffled voice, still reluctant to admit defeat.

"You don't need to go back to Spike." Henry shook his head.

Quinton was not suitable to work undercover.

"Are you free tonight? Jessica can go home tonight. Her next scene and shooting will be the day after tomorrow, so can we take a break and have dinner together at home?" Quinton took the initiative to invite Henry.

That would mean that Quinton had accepted Henry as his brother.

"Well, okay." Henry agreed.

At Clusia Media Group, Josie's phone rang when she was reading the documents in her hand.

"Hello?" She answered the call.

"It's Henry." The call was from Henry.

Josie's fingers froze for a moment, and she cleared her throat. "Hi."

"I have something to tell you in advance..." Henry's voice was a little hoarse.

He learned to discuss with Josie in advance and to trust each other, but Josie had not been there to see his change.

"I'm listening." Josie took a deep breath.

"Thomas... I need him. He still has things to be done," Henry said directly.

"Do you want me to withdraw the case?" Josie didn't ask much.

Although she trusted Henry unconditionally now, she didn't love him anymore.
