Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 273

"Spike is capable of doing anything. You should know that," said Henry with a smirk.

Sergio was panicking, and his face had turned white. "Impossible! You're lying to me, Henry. You're doing this so that I would report Spike to the police! You're lying to me! How can Hazel be dead? Spike promised me he would spare her! No..."

"Promised? Hmph..." Henry got up. "There's no need for you to turn over the evidence to the police. You just need to wait here quietly."

Henry's words made Sergio panic even more. "Henry! Henry, please save her. She's your mother, after all. I beg of you. Please save her!"

There was an ironic smile on Henry's face. "You said you wanted to see Hazel, right? I suggest you prepare yourself for the worst."

Sergio's hands were trembling, and his whole body was shaking.

"It's impossible. Absolutely impossible... No way Hazel's dead! She must still be alive! No..."

A week passed, and during all that time, Ashley was always featured on the trending search list.

She never officially confirmed her relationship with Henry, but everyone treated her as the future Mrs. Gibson, seeing as how many resources were being piled on her.

Her success and rise in status made her extremely cocky, to the extent that Ashley wasn't aware of what was actually going around her.

"Thomas, have you gotten rid of those people?"

"Ashley... Maybe it's time you stop." There was a hint of nervousness in Thomas' voice.

Ashley had been crazily getting rid of all those who had hurt or blackmailed her.

At this rate, the police would definitely come knocking on her door sooner or later.

"They were outlaws anyway. The police would never suspect it was us, even if those people died. Not when they're Spike's men." Ashley was getting bolder and bolder.

Thomas thought it would be dangerous for Ashley to go on like this, but she wouldn't listen to him, no matter how much he tried to persuade her.

She had gone utterly crazy.

"We've already gotten rid of Hazel. What else are you afraid of?" Ashley just wanted to keep everything as it was. Ashley would not allow anything to ruin it.

"No one can take this away from me now," thought Ashley.

Meanwhile, at the police station, Caden received a report that someone found some blood and dead bodies at the Resettlement Area wasteland.

"Has Hazel's body been found?" Caden kneaded the space between his eyebrows.

The dead bodies belonged to Spike's men in the gang. It was difficult not to chalk it down to a clash between rival gang members.

"Charles, maybe we're going in the wrong direction? Maybe Hazel's still alive?" They had been looking for her body all this while and always came up empty-handed.

Caden pondered for a moment, "Keep searching for her body at the nearby villages."

Meanwhile, at Ritaville Bay, Nina went to the supermarket to buy some groceries. Leonardo was back from his business trip to Sloummont by the time she arrived home. They hadn't seen each other for two and a half months.

"Why didn't you tell me you'll be coming back today?" Nina asked indifferently.

If she was honest, she was actually happy to see him back.

"I wanted to surprise you." Leonardo covered Nina's eyes.

Nina was used to his antics, but she still wondered what he was up to this time.

Leonardo took his hand off Nina's eyes after they had entered the living room through the foyer.

The huge living room was filled with a sea of flowers, which Leonardo had somebody prepared in advance.

"You're so corny!" Nina wanted to laugh.

"Look closely." Leonardo gestured at a spot with his chin.

Nina's eyes followed the direction he pointed at and saw a pure white rose right in the middle of the sea of roses.
