Samuel smiled and suggested, "It's likely that he really has been coveting it from the beginning. There is also the possibility that it is not the company he is coveting, but a person instead? Was there a premarital property notarization when the both of you got married?"
Nina was stunned for a moment. "No."
Samuel raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you should find Leonardo and have a talk with him. My girlfriend is getting off work. Bye."
"Tsk! Such an ungrateful brat," Nina reprimanded him, then added, "Leonardo and I will be taking photos the day after tomorrow. You are responsible for the company, so don't just spend the whole day thinking about your love life. How do you expect to support your wife if you are not earning well? Do you expect Josie to work and support you?"
Samuel smiled and didn't offer any explanations.
In Ashley's residence, Ashley meticulously prepared a meal and waited happily for Henry's arrival.
Meanwhile, Henry had already arrived downstairs. However, he kept sitting in the car and was reluctant to go upstairs and put on an act with her.
"Mr. Gibson, we have looked through the surveillance videos near Ashley's house. We can only see Hazel entering Ashley's house, but there is no evidence of her leaving. We checked all the surveillance videos for nearly a week and couldn't find anything. There was only one footage. It should be Thomas. He was dragging something away when he left."
Henry's eyelids twitched. He instructed, "Send it to me. I'll have a look. Keep checking and find out where Thomas went that day."
All of a sudden, Henry had an ominous feeling, but Henry denied it.
"How could a shrewd woman like Hazel meet her downfall at Ashley's hands?" wondered Henry. "Even if they got into a fight with each other..."
After hanging up the phone, Henry rubbed his temples. He adjusted his emotions and went up the stairwell.
"Henry!" Ashley opened the door and hugged Henry happily.
Finally, she could be with him openly and aboveboard. If she wanted to hug him, she could hug him. If she wanted to be with him, she could be with him.
She didn't have to sneak around like a thief as she did before this.
Henry's body was tense, and his eyes were indifferent. "What delicious food have you made?" asked Henry with a smile as he walked over to take a look.
There was a wide spread of food.
"Henry, it's all your favorite food. While I was at home during this period, I've mastered a lot of dishes." Ashley was beaming happily as she put some food on Henry's plate.
"Has Hazel contacted you recently?" asked Henry matter-of-factly.
"No... No," stuttered Ashley. However, Ashley was a little nervous, and the ribs she was serving dropped to the floor.
"No? That's good. If she contacts you, let me know immediately. Spike's men are looking for her, and we have no idea where Sergio went as well." Henry was reminding Ashley to be careful.
"I will." Ashley nodded quickly and looked very obedient.
"Last night, Hazel contacted me from an unknown number. She sent me a message saying that she wanted me to go over and meet her tomorrow. If I don't show up, she's going to harm you. You need to ensure your own protection these days," said Henry deliberately to see Ashley's reaction.
Ashley's face turned pale instantly, and Ashley almost stood up.
Fork and glasses fell to the floor, and Ashley scrambled in a panic to pick them up.
Henry narrowed his eyes as he got up and approached Ashley. He grabbed her hands.
Her fingers were extremely cold. "Leave it. You should be more careful," admonished Henry.
She had a cut on her finger.
Ashley looked at Henry in a panic as she choked out, "Are you sure that was Hazel? It must be a scammer. You shouldn't be taking it seriously."
"She is an extremely cunning person that uses others' weaknesses as threats. I hope Spike ends her life for good," said Henry casually while looking for a medicine box to treat Ashley's wound.
Ashley gulped and hesitated, "Henry, do you hate Hazel so much?"
