Chapter 67
That night, the entertainment news was in an uproar.
That farce could be regarded as an earthquake in the entertainment industry.
Someone revealed that Ashley was a mistress and Henry had been married.
Moreover, Samuel, the eldest son of a wealthy family who was free of scandal even though the entertainment industry had been keeping an eye on him, showed up in front of the media and took away his girlfriend.
Sunlight poured into the rented apartment. Samuel took a sip of water with a solemn expression.
“Mr. Turner, Henry’s public relations department has been suppressing these rumors since last night. The news related to Ashley has been hidden.”
Samuel narrowed his eyes and said icily, “Then make it viral. Let’s see who’s more powerful, Gibson Corporation’s public relations department or the ghostwriters you have been keeping
“Samuel, must you fight against Henry?” The man on the other end of the line sounded a little helpless.
“Yuri, everything had been leading up to this moment. Don’t let me down, Samuel replied meaningfully.
“Okay, what about the news related to you and Ms. Yates? Yuri could not make a decision.
Samuel answered, “Don’t cover up that. Make it trending.” He thought, “It’s best to let everyone in the world know that Josie is my girlfriend. Let’s see who else dares to mess with Josie in the future.”
“All right. It seems to me that you’re triumphing over your success in love. You even dare to s n atch Henry’s wife.” On the other end of the line, Yuri was utterly speechless,
“Be careful with your words. It’s the ex-wife.” Samuel gritted his teeth. “Besides, I’m not sn
a c h i n g. He doesn’t deserve her instead.
*All right, all right, anything you say. I wish you all the best.” Then Yuri hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Josie fell into a deep sleep for a long time in her bedroom. Although she didn’t do anything yesterday, she had been nervous, so her muscles were sore the next day
When she opened her eyes, her eyes hurt as the sunlight was a little dazzling.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it. To her surprise, the entertainment headline, which had gone viral last night, was all suppressed by other hot topics.
It was apparent that Henry wanted to protect Ashley.
Massaging her temples, Josie got up to clean up.
While standing in the bathroom, Josie looked at her pale, bloodless face and mocked herself inwardly, “How ridiculous. I still tried to let Henry know Ashley’s true colors. Yesterday… Even if I showed Henry the recording of the call, he would still think I was the one who set her up. So what’s the point of it? It’s meaningless. I’m no match for Ashley because Henry is so protective over her.”
Jo! Jo, look at the news. Someone exposed it was not Ashley’s first time to be a mistress. When she debuted three years ago, she was entangled with a manager and took advantage of the situation, which led her to be able to hold onto Henry, Besides, an anonymous netizen revealed that Ashley had been a pretentious woman since she went to school. She seduced men to protect her and acted all soft and weak. Who did she offend? How satisfying!” Madelyn shouted outside the door. Her voice

was full of excitement.
Josie walked out of the bedroom and took the phone to glance at it. She wondered, “Henry’s public relations department had covered up Ashley’s negative news Who is so capable of making the incident get worse?”
“Is it Samuel?” Josie couldn’t figure out who else it could be apart from Samuel.
Madelyn shrugged. “Who knows? It’s possible. Since he’s rich, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to hire some ghostwriters.”
Josie sighed and turned to leave. “There’s no need to continue messing with Henry and Ashley. I already vented my anger yesterday.
“You’re still not thoughtful enough in planning. You should tell me next time, and we’ll do it together. I’ll rip her into pieces!” Madelyn gritted her teeth and flipped through the entertainment comments.
“Look! Rebecca is also trending. She retweeted and liked a tweet that reprimanded Ashley for being a mistress and pretentious woman, then deleted it immediately.” Madelyn was delighted. ‘She claimed it was accidental.
She thought, “It’s fine if she accidentally liked the tweet, but how is it possible that one would retweet by chance?”
Josie also smiled and mused. “Rebecca is really tough.”
Pulling out her phone, Josie sent a message to Rebecca that read, [Thank you.]
Initially, she thought Rebecca would never use her previous WhatsApp account again after she became an artist. Unexpectedly, she got a reply from Rebecca instantaneously. It read, [You’re welcome. Next time, take me with you.]
Josie responded with a cute emoji.
Standing outside the door, Josie tried to knock on Samuel’s door.
“Why do you wake up so early? Are you hungry?” Samuel glanced at the time and noticed it wasn’t seven o’clock yet. He initially planned to finish preparing breakfast at half-past seven before asking her and Madelyn to come and eat.
“Samuel, I’m not going to eat breakfast. I’m going out for a bit. Josie had to go to the hospital for a checkup, so her stomach needed to be empty.
“Do you want me to go with you?” Samuel’s heart tightened because he was worried about Josie going out alone.
“No. There’s no need.” Josie waved her hand. “Those ghostwriters on the internet… Did you hire them?”
“What ghostwriters?” Bewilderment was written all over Samuel’s face.
“Ah… It’s nothing.” Judging from Samuel’s expression, Josie felt he didn’t seem to be lying. “The internet was full of rumors about me being your girlfriend. I’m afraid it will affect you.”
I’m useless, worthless, and even a loser that got kicked out of the family. What could possibly be affecting me? That’s how entertainment reporters work. They couldn’t wait to make it viral whenever they got some information. You don’t have to worry. Samuel smiled at Josie.
Josie felt Samuel’s smile appear a little like a fox for some reason.
“You really didn’t hire those ghostwriters…” Josie was still scared that Samuel would offend Henry and cause unnecessary
trouble.
“Let me see. What did the headline say?” Samuel took out his phone and glanced at it. “Well, I believe it’s because of Ashley’s bad personality, leading to public outrage.”

Chapter 67
Josic sighed as she mused, “I’m glad that it’s not because of Samuel. She then uttered, “Then I’ll leave first. About last night… Thank you for what happened last night.”
Josie lowered her head, and her ears were burning.
She didn’t know why her heart beat faster either.
Perhaps she was overwhelmed with guilt because Samuel was the one to help her whenever she got into trouble.
Samuel raised the corners of his mouth and thought, “I still need to try harder.”
Meanwhile, Madelyn secretly opened the door. “Mr. Turner, do you still have breakfast?”
Tll transfer the money to you. Go and eat by yourself. Samuel faked a smile and closed the door.
He thought, “Since Josie isn’t taking breakfast, I’m not eating either.
In fact, he knew it was the day Josie went to the hospital for a regular check-up.
Madelyn longingly looked at the pitch-black door and mused, “How unfair. What an obvious double standard scene.”
At Hofcaster Hospital, Josie took a blood test and waited for the result in the doctor’s office.
“Ms. Yates, acute promyelocytic leukemia M3 can be cured. You must be confident. The doctor checked the examination results and cheered Josie up. “The cure rate of this condition is very high, more than 90%. Moreover, this leukemia is the only one that can be treated without bone marrow transplantation.”
Josie nodded, and her pale face slowly regained some color. “Thank you, doctor.”
“Keep a good mood. It’s well-controlled so far. As long as it doesn’t spread and relapse after healing, everything will turn out fine.
Josie held her fingers nervously. “Doctor, about the CAR-T cell immunotherapy you mentioned, is the specialist coming to Hofcaster later this year!”
“Yes, I have applied for a slot for you. If you are lucky enough, you can still be the first case in which the hospital will bear the expenses.
Josie looked at the doctor in surprise, and her eyes turned red. She wondered, “Could I really be so lucky?”
At that moment, she felt much more relaxed. “Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome, but the current treatment costs…” The doctor wanted to know if Josie was short of money.
“Don’t worry, doctor. I have some savings.” Josie finally smiled, seemingly regaining hope.
That’s good. I’ll speed up the application for you. Don’t worry too much. It’s not a big deal.”
Josie got up in a panic and bowed to the doctor. “Thank you.”
