Chapter 37
The next day, Charles came out of the interrogation room at the police station. He was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
“What’s going on with Josic? Charles got into the car and rubbed his temples.
His assistant hurriedly handed him a coffee and replied in a low voice, “Ms. Josie Yates went to the hospital yesterday and gave the police her statement. She said it was just a misunderstanding.”
Otherwise, Charles wouldn’t have been released so soon.
Charles was a little irritated. Tm asking about her health!”
His assistant trembled with fear and quickly answered, “She was discharged this morning. We checked Ms. Josie Yates‘ medical records and confirmed that she experienced shock and emotional loss caused by an anxiety disorder. But… she seemed to have done a lumbar puncture at Hofcaster Hospital last month.”
“Lumbar puncture?” A hint of worry flashed in Charles‘ eyes. He ordered, “Find someone we know in the hospital and get to the bottom of this”
As soon as the phone was in Charles‘ hand, Ashley called
“Mr. Larson, there seems to be a hiccup in the plan we came up with.” Ashley was clearly blaming Charles for messing up things up. She asked, “Didn’t you say Josie would agree to marry you this time?”
“Are you lecturing me?” Charles began to feel annoyed.
Of course, Ashley couldn’t afford to offend Charles. “You Inisunderstand me, Mr. Larson. You are the one who wants to ceoperate with me, so I’m worrying on your behalf
“I will deal with this matter. If you want to become Mrs. Gibson, you’d better focus on Henry. I will deal with Josie. Charles was warning Ashley to mind her own business
“Well then, I wish you good luck.
Ashley was brooding in her apartment.
She was slapped by Josie for no reason and yelled at by Henry, so Ashley was in a bad mood.
She chucked her phone aside in frustration, cursing Charles for being useless.
She thought he was capable enough to ruin Josie’s reputation, but he landed himself at the police station. Fortunately, he didn’t drag her down.
“Ashley, take the ice pack and apply it. Don’t forget that you will be appearing on the show tomorrow.” Thomas handed the ice pack to Ashley and sighed when he saw her angry expression. He asked, “Did he seek you out again?”
Ashley took the ice pack. When Thomas mentioned his name, fear flickered in her eyes. “No. If he still dares to pester me, I will definitely call the police.”
“Don’t worry. He won’t be able to find you. I told you that I would protect you.” Thomas reassured Ashley.
Ashley sneered. “What can you do to protect me?”
If Henry had said this, she would feel at ease.
Thomas was hurt, but he didn’t say anything.
He didn’t have the status and power Henry had. He couldn’t give Ashley the life she wanted.

Ashley’s miserable past and childhood made her extrensely paranoid.
Even Ashley herself forgot when she started to resort to anything in order to get what she wanted.
She would only feel a temporary relief whenever she got what she wanted.

And Henry was the man she had to have. She e must become his w
This was the only way she could completely escape her nightmare.
In the apartment, Josie finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the hospital.
Fortunately, the doctor didn’t tell anyone else about her condition.
Jo, don’t go to work today. You can do that tomorrow. You’re not well enough.” Madelyn felt sorry for Josie.
Thave something to do at the company, so I have to go.” Josie shook her head. Dahon Corporation wanted to dismiss her, so she couldn’t let herself be at the mercy of others. She at least had to ensure that her salary and compensation would be paid
in full
“Where are you going? I’ll drive you.” Downstairs, Samuel got on a motorcycle and handed the helmet to Josie.
“No, I can take the bus” Josie was also a little afraid of motorcycles.
Then. I’ll use your bike next time, Samuel smiled at Josie.
His smile was very warm, which was kind of dazzling.
Josie felt that Samuel’s not joining the entertainment industry was really a waste of his good looks.
“Come on. I’ll pick you up from work from now on Samuel was unusually gentle.
Josie wasn’t sure if it was her imagination or not. Ever since she was hospitalized, Samuel seemed to have changed. He didn’t argue with her anymore, and it made her a little uncomfortable
“Mr. Turner, I’m good at commuting by myself. I can’t afford to have you pick me up. Josie told him honestly.
“Ill tell you a secret. I was kicked out of the Turner family, and now I’m homeless. I rented an apartment here, right across the door from you” Samuel blinked at Josie as if he was telling a joke.
Samuel Turner, the only son in the Turner family, had three older sisters who doted on him…
What kind of big mistake would cause him to be kicked out of the house by Lewis Turner, the one who always spoiled him?
When Josie went to the Gibson family when she was 15, she knew that Lewis had a tortoise he treasured very much. He had kept it for many years. It was practically his life.
Feeling a bit sad, Samuel put a helmet on Josie’s head. “I’ll be your neighbor from now on. I’ll be in your care.”
Josie didn’t overthink it. It was natural for a rich kid to be willful, and it was impossible for Lewis to really abandon his grandson.
