Chapter 35
In Gibson Corporation, the assistant announced, “Mr. Gibson, the directors are waiting for you.
Henry felt tormented as he stood in his office.
The assistant was a little scared. Henry had not looked happy ever since he divorced Josie.
Henry was silent for a long time as he tightened his grip on the phone. “Go find out where Charles‘ dedicated suite is at the Norman Hotel.”
After saying that, Henry opened the door and stormed out to the elevator.
“Mr. Gibson!” Startled, the assistant followed after him. “The directors…
“Tell them to wait!” Henry hollered irritably.
The assistant did not dare to say anything else. She hurriedly made a call to check on Charles‘ suite at Norman Hotel.
When Henry arrived at the Norman Hotel, the room was in a mess. He found a blood–stained glass fragment on the floor.
“Where are they?” Henry was seething in anger.
On the way to the hotel, he was more concerned about Josie than anything else.
What was he going to do if Josie really wanted to be with Charles?
After all, Josie and he were already divorced.
Mr. Gibson, I don’t know what happened. The police had taken Mr. Larson away. Mr. Turner carried a woman out of the room and went to the hospital.” The manager’s face was pale. He followed Henry nervously around the room.
“Charles.” Henry kneaded his forehead irritably and punched the glass wall in the room.
“That son of a bitch!” he shouted to himself.
Samuel and Madelyn were by Josie’s side when she woke up at Hofcaster Hospital.
Madelyn’s eyes were red. She had been so frightened that she cried.
Josie sat up nervously and looked at the doctor guardedly.
She did not want anyone to know her condition.
The doctor asked, “Are you suffering from an anxiety disorder?”
Josie nodded.

“Have a good rest. Pay attention to your diet, and don’t get too agitated again,” the doctor instructed Josie and Samuel.
Samuel was unusually quiet today. His face seemed to be drained of color.
“You…” Josie did not know why Samuel was at the hospital.
“It’s all thanks to Mr. Turner. He saved you this time.” Madelyn wiped her nose. “Jo, I’ve already called the police. The police have already taken that son of a bitch away.”
“You called the police?” Josie was stunned.
She did not think the situation warranted a call to the police.
Chapter 35
Josie knew that Charles would not hurt her.
Although she did not trust Charles because she knew he would play tricks, she also knew very well that Charles would never
hurt her.
As far as Josie could recall, she treated Charles more like a brother than Henry.
Since Josie first met Henry, she had never wanted to regard him as her brother.
She fell in love with Henry at first sight.
Charles was different.
When Josie was in school, she was a quiet girl and was often bullied by her classmates.
Charles and Samuel were friends at that time. They would protect her and follow her around secretly, escorting her home.
She knew all about what they did for her.
However, she never kept in touch with Charles after they grew up. Gradually, they drifted apart.
However, Charles would meet her every year on her parents‘ death anniversary, regardless of his motives.
“There is no decent soul in the Gibson Corporation. Charles and Henry are nothing but trouble,” Madelyn cursed as she sniffled.
Just then, Henry and the police appeared at the door.
Henry merely wanted to see how Josie was doing. When he entered the room, he heard Madelyn talking badly about him.
Josie sat up and looked at Henry, whose expression had darkened.
Josie coughed slightly to warn Madelyn about Henry’s presence.
Madelyn continued, “Henry, that son of a bitch is blind and deaf. He doesn’t cherish you. Jo, you’re such a good person.”
“Ms. Yates, we want to know what happened earlier.” The policeman also looked awkward. He cleared his throat and walked toward Josie.
“I’m sorry, sir. It’s all a misunderstanding,” Josie said apologetically.
“Josie!” Samuel frowned, wondering why she was speaking up for Charles.
“It’s really a misunderstanding.” Josie was too weak to say anything else.
“Yes, I am suffering from an anxiety disorder. I just…” Josie explained in a low voice.
