When Two Winters Met (Henrietta and Yosef) novel Chapter 325

Henrietta didn't know how she managed to exit Facebook. Her fingers trembled as she tapped the screen, a chill spreading down her back. It was the same feeling of betrayal she'd felt with Matteo.

She went through the rest of the workday in a daze, and by the time she got back to Elysium Manor, she had no appetite for dinner.

Later, a call came from Jethro. "Henrietta, the autopsy results are in. The man did have a terminal illness, just as we suspected. We also got his medical records. It was late-stage cancer. He didn't have much time left."

HENRIETTA forced herself to focus. "So... because he was dying and hated the rich, he decided to attack me?"

She had already learned the man's identity: he was an extra, someone from the bottom rungs of the industry.

"Yes, that's likely the reason," Jethro said. "But the police are still investigating other possibilities. If they find nothing else, then it was a vendetta against the wealthy."

Henrietta took a deep breath. "If that's the case, then it was just my bad luck."

"It was a random, unfortunate encounter," Jethro said. "There are a lot of people like that out there, people who want to lash out at society. In any case, you weren't hurt, and that's all that matters."

Not wanting to dwell on it any longer, Henrietta simply said, "Right."

Jethro then asked, "Has Yosef contacted you yet?"

The question brought the Facebook post rushing back into her mind. "No," she said, shaking her head.

He had said his work was confidential, hadn't contacted her, and his phone was off. But it turned out he was with Britney.

"Oh," Jethro said. "Alright. Well, I won't disturb you any longer."

"Okay." Henrietta hung up and tried to sort through her thoughts.

Given Cheryl's track record, Henrietta even wondered if the photo could have been photoshopped. Was Cheryl trying to mess with her head by posting it while Yosef was out of touch? But... while Cheryl was a troublemaker, but she didn't have the guts to go that far. If she were caught fabricating something like that, she would be finished. She'd definitely lose her job and any chance of staying by Yosef's side.

So... the photo had to be real.
