Chapter 70
It’s the festival today. Don’t spoil everyone’s mood: Henry’s eyes darkened as he warned Josie.
Josie’s eyes were burning as she stared at Henry. After a long moment, she finally uttered, “Henry. Are you afraid of me?”
It was really as Carles mentioned. Before she returned to the Gibson family, Henry had already come up with a scheme to set bet anner father. Hayden up.
“Are you disappointed that I didn’t die in the car accident when I was fifteen? Are you scared, too?” Josie asked in a low voice.
Henry’s face darkened. Furrowing his brows, he replied, “Did someone say something to you again?”
Joe would rather listen to those people provoking discord than trust him.
“No one said anything to me. They just thought you were afraid of me, which is why you always targeted me, not wanting me to have a new life and a new lover” Josie guessed that Henry must be someone who lacked security.
He was left in the orphanage and adopted by the Gibson family.
He was afraid that everything he had at the moment would be lost, so he would try his best to eliminate
Josie! How can you think of me in such a way!” Henry was a little out of control.
Everything you do makes me feel that you are afraid of me. You’re afraid that I’ll take what belongs to you from you.” Josie stared at Henry intently, trying to find an answer in his eyes.

hindrance.
As expected, he panicked.
The dance teacher when I was a child, the senior who gave me tutorials, and all the people who had a good impression of me during school were all driven away by you. What are you afraid of?”
Josie suddenly recalled that in the year of the university entrance examination, her grandfather invited a teacher over to tutor her. He was a cheerful young man and was really good to her.
She never had many interactions with strangers of the opposite sex, but she was willing to discuss the algorithm of mathematical problems with that senior.
However, one day, the tutor was replaced by someone else..

Josie asked John why he changed her tutor, but Henry claimed that the senior had a bad personality and secretly took valuable things from the house to sell.
Josie didn’t ask further, but she vaguely felt that something was not right.
Now that she thought about it, she couldn’t help but guess that Henry did that on purpose.
He had been vigilantly keeping an eye on her from the beginning as if targeting prey. It was also as though he were observing an enemy.
“That’s right. He is regarding me as an enemy,” she mused.
Suddenly, Josie felt a shiver running down her spine.
It had been ten years.
She had loved Henry for ten years/but Henry had plotted against her for ten years.

Chapter 70
He had been regarding her as an enemy for ten years.
It was really ironic,
“Are you starting to settle the score with me now?” Henry angrily pulled Josie into the room, not wanting Arthur to worry
about him.
Jo, it’s the festival today. I don’t want to quarrel with you…” Henry suddenly felt a little helpless and hugged her tightly in the corner. “Can’t you be more obedient? You used to be so nice…
The reason he came back was to make up for what he did to
It was indeed wrong for him to leave Josie the previous night, but he couldn’t comprehend why Josie refused to give in.
Jo. Ashley has depression, and you know it. I was just afraid that something would happen to her last night…” Henry tried to explain anxiously.
In fact, he was not angry at what Josie said to the reporters.
He was even secretly delighted that Josie was jealous and still cared for him.
“I know you’ve been resentful about the media taking advantage of me and her to create hype. I’ve reflected on it…. seriously. Henry had been thinking about his marriage with Josie all night. If there were rumors of Josie going out with another man, he would get mad too even if he knew it was fake.
I’ll hold a press conference this afternoon to explain my relationship with Ashley. It’s her manager’s idea. Don’t take it out on her, okay?” Henry held Josie’s face as if he was comforting a child.
Josie thought if it had happened in the old days, she would have believed it.
However, she merely found it ridiculous at the moment, and the way she was in the past was also ridiculous.
Despite that, Josie narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Okay. As long as you hold a press conference to clarify that you have nothing to do with Ashley, I will do as you say.”
Hearing that, Henry heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Josie had always been annoyed by those public opinions.
“Okay” Henry stretched out his hand to pull Josie into his arms and said, “Don’t be so impulsive next time. The media and public opinion can sometimes destroy someone. Don’t expose yourself to the spotlight.”
Josie’s body went numb and let out a sneer ironically.
He knew everything, but he chose Ashley again and again between her and Ashley, putting her in danger all alone.
Tll wait for your clarification….
Josie suddenly wanted to see what Ashley would look like after Henry publicly clarified his relationship with Ashley.
Ashley had been scheming for so long.
In the end, Henry didn’t love her that much.
The person Henry loved most was himself, his power, and his status.
Because of fear, Henry wanted to control her completely.
During the meal, Arthur was the only one who ate happily because the family members finally got together.

Josie, on the other hand, lost her appetite. She felt that Henry’s presence made her unable to enjoy Arthur’s cooking-
“You like radish soup the most. It’s Thanksgiving. You should drink more of it”
Henry served the soup to Josie
She looked at the bowl of soup quietly and flashed a faint smile. “It’s you who likes it, not me.”
Henry’s fagers stiffened. Suddenly, his chest felt tight.
Arthur stood up with a smile and thought they were being humble to each other. ‘Isn’t there some more left? I’ll serve it to the two of you,”
Henry didn’t think much. He tightened his fingers as he took a sip of soup.
As if dealing with some business matter, Josie left after chatting with Arthur.
Henry chased after her. Tll give you a ride.”
“No need. I have an interview,” Josie reminded Henry.
Jo… What happened to Eastern Corporation has nothing to do with me. I just wanted you to come and beg me. I didn’t expect you to go to Frontier Bay,”
Josie glanced at the time. I’m going to have an interview in Clusia Media Group this afternoon.”
She deliberately told Henry to see if he would tamper with it
Jo, Clusia Media Group isn’t a good fit for you!” Henry frowned.
Where should I go, then? Gibson Corporation? Harry, you won’t dare, will you?” Josie seemed to be throwing the question at him obediently.
Jo, you should go home. I can support you financially. You don’t have to work.”
“Clusia Media Group is good.” Josie looked as if she were controlling her emotions to the best of her ability.
She had never felt that Henry was so unbearable before.
“Must you go?” Henry slowly loosened his grip on Josie’s hand.
“Do you want to stop me?” Josie still looked very obedient.
“No… I won’t interfere with what you want to do, as long as you are obedient.” Henry seemed to have compromised,
After the incident in Harmony Supermarket, Henry already regretted it and was scared.
“Thank you.” Josie grinned and turned around to leave.
“I should be grateful for his generosity,” she teased inwardly.
“Jo…” Henry wanted to say something further, but the words stuck in his throat.
Josie didn’t look back and pretended not to hear it.
She thought,
