Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 258

Cecilia left the office with reddened eyes.

Ashley walked into the office in surprise. "Henry, what's wrong with Cecilia?"

She never liked Cecilia, who worked as Henry's assistant and was very hostile to her.

Ashley had been trying to get Henry away from Cecilia and waiting for Thomas to show himself.

"Hang in there. I will find a way to get her away from Henry once Thomas shows himself," Ashley thought.

"She doesn't like you, and I'm slightly annoyed by it. You are mine, and she doesn't have the right to say anything about us. So I got her transferred, and she's a little mad about it," explained Henry indifferently. Ashley suddenly paused in her tracks and looked at Henry in astonishment. Her eyes slowly turned red. "Henry..."

It was impossible that she didn't feel touched after hearing that.

There was a time when Henry was nice to her, but he only treated her as if she was his younger sister and would only remain like that forever.

However, she finally experienced the feeling of being loved by Henry now.

He was deeply in love with her.

Ashley was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, including joy and also fear.

She wanted to cherish her hard-earned happiness, but she feared Hazel might take it away anytime.

"Henry, you are so kind to me." Flustered, Ashley clenched Henry's hand and kept silent for a long time with her head dropped.

She thought, "I will never let that happen. No one can take away my happiness. Since Hazel has something on me and tries to threaten me, I have no choice but to strike first, have leverage on her, and send her away. Only after eliminating all the hidden dangers can I be with Henry carefree. That's the only way I can live without worry. Since I've come this far, I will never give up."

Henry asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? What's on your mind?"

Ashley looked up at Henry. "Henry, you're right. Ms. Locke met me and asked me to persuade you to collaborate with Silas. She's using my future to threaten me. Henry, what should I do? She is a predecesso in this industry. It's easy for her to ruin me for good."

Henry frowned. "If you don't want to be threatened by others, you must have something on them and make the first move. Do you understand?"

Ashley's heart skipped a beat as Henry was being too serious.

"Ashley, the reason why I divorced Josie was that she was too weak. The people around me must not be a hidden threat to me. Do you understand?" asked Henry indifferently.

Ashley's breath became heavier as she thought, "He's right. How could I ever replace Josie and stay by his side? Even if I am useless to him, I should never be his weakness. At least, I should not allow the other party to have dirt or something on me, especially when Henry and Hazel are in a strained relationship."

"I-I get it, Henry. I'll take care of it myself," replied Ashley nervously and exclaimed inwardly, "Once Thomas shows himself, I will find a way to get rid of Hazel."

She knew one of Hazel's secrets.

Hazel had something to do with the death of Josie's parents.

As long as the driver who killed Hayden and Kathy in the car accident confessed that Hazel gave him the order, Hazel could never plead innocence.

With that, she had to find a way as soon as possible.

"Thomas will show up soon. Don't worry too much," said Henry indifferently.

"Henry, thank you. Have some of these first. I made them myself." She had been learning to cook recently as she wanted to cook for Henry.

"I have another meeting, so I must leave for a while. Leave them here. I'll eat them when I return. You should go back and have a good rest." Henry flashed her a soft smile.

Henry always managed to coax Ashley by being gentle. She nodded and left the office. "Henry, don't forget to eat. They're all your favorite."

"Okay. I will." Henry nodded.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

As soon as Ashley left, Henry's face darkened. He took a seat and closed his eyes annoyed in helplessness.

His head hurt.

"Henry!" Quinton's shout rang from outside.

"Mr. Taibbi, you may not enter."

The office door was pushed open, and Quinton forced his way in.

"You may leave." Henry gestured at Cecilia and the others.

Cecilia closed the door and said nothing.

"Henry, what are you up to?" Quinton frowned with a contract in his hands.

"Did you sign it?" asked Henry.

"If you don't explain this, I won't sign

it. When Spike threatened you back then, you didn't give me a single penny, but now you are being generous. What are you plotting?" Quinton sat down and didn't know what tricks Henry had up in his sleeve.

However, Quinton somehow felt anxious.

"I am giving you money. Are you still unhappy? Don't sign it then." Henry looked at Quinton in disgust.

"Why should I keep it a secret?" Quinton couldn't understand why Henry asked him to do so.

"If I asked you to keep it a secret for the time being, just do it and save your nonsense." Henry frowned.

Quinton clenched his fists. "I hate that arrogant look and your commanding tone the most!"

Henry massaged his temples and said nothing.

Lowering his head, Quinton had a bad feeling. "Why did you suddenly decide to do so? Are you really going to take Dad on?"

"He's your dad and has nothing to do with me." Henry's expression was dark, and his voice was full of threats.

Quinton remained silent for a long time before he said, "Don't do anything stupid."

Quinton knew that Henry would never accept his parents.

Spike never admitted that Henry was his son because Hazel gave birth to Henry by improper means. She did so not because she loved Henry but wanted to use him as a pawn instead. As Spike remained unfazed, she abandoned Henry in the orphanage heartlessly.

Later, Henry was adopted by the

Gibson family. Hazel realized Henry would benefit her, so she randomly found a company with development potential, stayed in Clusia Media Group, and returned to Hofcaster.

From the beginning, she had a clear purpose, it is to use her own child.

Henry's childhood was miserable. One could say he never had a true family.

His existence was all because of conspiracies and schemes.

Quinton hated Henry because Hazel killed his mother.

If Hazel hadn't used all her means and schemes, Quinton's mother wouldn't have died.

After some time, Quinton pondered, "What does it have to do with Henry?"

However, he hated Henry because he was always arrogant and self-centered and seemingly looked down on everyone.

Because of that, Quinton felt jealous,

mistreated, and thought, "Henry is

an illegitimate child whom a

homewrecker secretly birthed to.

Who gave him the right and O

confidence to act smug?"

However, Henry was the kind of person who was kind to the people he cared for, but he would express it in his way.

He thought all he had done was for nothing.

For instance, he had put in so much more effort for Josie than anyone else, but his approach was rather extreme that he made her leave and ultimately gave up on him.
