Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 35

In Gibson Corporation, the assistant announced, “Mr. Gibson, the directors are waiting for you.

Henry felt tormented as he stood in his office.

The assistant was a little scared. Henry had not looked happy ever since he divorced Josie.

Henry was silent for a long time as he tightened his grip on the phone. “Go find out where Charles‘ dedicated suite is at the Norman Hotel.”

After saying that, Henry opened the door and stormed out to the elevator.

“Mr. Gibson!” Startled, the assistant followed after him. “The directors…

“Tell them to wait!” Henry hollered irritably.

The assistant did not dare to say anything else. She hurriedly made a call to check on Charles‘ suite at Norman Hotel. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

When Henry arrived at the Norman Hotel, the room was in a mess. He found a blood–stained glass fragment on the floor.

“Where are they?” Henry was seething in anger.

On the way to the hotel, he was more concerned about Josie than anything else.

What was he going to do if Josie really wanted to be with Charles?

After all, Josie and he were already divorced.

Mr. Gibson, I don’t know what happened. The police had taken Mr. Larson away. Mr. Turner carried a woman out of the room and went to the hospital.” The manager’s face was pale. He followed Henry nervously around the room.

“Charles.” Henry kneaded his forehead irritably and punched the glass wall in the room.

“That son of a bitch!” he shouted to himself.

Samuel and Madelyn were by Josie’s side when she woke up at Hofcaster Hospital.

Madelyn’s eyes were red. She had been so frightened that she cried.

Josie sat up nervously and looked at the doctor guardedly.

She did not want anyone to know her condition.

The doctor asked, “Are you suffering from an anxiety disorder?”

Josie nodded.

“Have a good rest. Pay attention to your diet, and don’t get too agitated again,” the doctor instructed Josie and Samuel.

Samuel was unusually quiet today. His face seemed to be drained of color.

“You…” Josie did not know why Samuel was at the hospital.

“It’s all thanks to Mr. Turner. He saved you this time.” Madelyn wiped her nose. “Jo, I’ve already called the police. The police have already taken that son of a bitch away.”

“You called the police?” Josie was stunned.

She did not think the situation warranted a call to the police.

Josie knew that Charles would not hurt her.

Although she did not trust Charles because she knew he would play tricks, she also knew very well that Charles would never

hurt her.

As far as Josie could recall, she treated Charles more like a brother than Henry.

Since Josie first met Henry, she had never wanted to regard him as her brother.

She fell in love with Henry at first sight.

Charles was different.

When Josie was in school, she was a quiet girl and was often bullied by her classmates.

Charles and Samuel were friends at that time. They would protect her and follow her around secretly, escorting her home.

She knew all about what they did for her.

However, she never kept in touch with Charles after they grew up. Gradually, they drifted apart.

However, Charles would meet her every year on her parents‘ death anniversary, regardless of his motives.

“There is no decent soul in the Gibson Corporation. Charles and Henry are nothing but trouble,” Madelyn cursed as she sniffled.

Just then, Henry and the police appeared at the door.

Henry merely wanted to see how Josie was doing. When he entered the room, he heard Madelyn talking badly about him.

Josie sat up and looked at Henry, whose expression had darkened.

Josie coughed slightly to warn Madelyn about Henry’s presence.

Madelyn continued, “Henry, that son of a bitch is blind and deaf. He doesn’t cherish you. Jo, you’re such a good person.”

“Ms. Yates, we want to know what happened earlier.” The policeman also looked awkward. He cleared his throat and walked toward Josie.

“I’m sorry, sir. It’s all a misunderstanding,” Josie said apologetically.

“Josie!” Samuel frowned, wondering why she was speaking up for Charles.

“It’s really a misunderstanding.” Josie was too weak to say anything else.

Samuel clenched his hands tightly but did not say any further.

Josie had her own views.

Madelyn wanted to say something, but Samuel pulled her aside.

He stood up and saw Henry looking at Josie with a grim expression.

Henry scoffed inwardly, “Was it really a misunderstanding? The police took Charles away, but she was trying to get him off the hook. Was she admitting that it was normal for her and Charles to be in the hotel room because they were lovers?”

“Ms. Yates, are you sure it’s a misunderstanding?” The policeman tried to confirm Josie’s statement.

“Yes, I am suffering from an anxiety disorder. I just…” Josie explained in a low voice.

The policeman did not say anything more and left after taking down her statements.

“Josic, I didn’t know you were so adept,” Henry said coldly, and his eyes fell on Samuel.

Josie was now surrounded by the two men.

He regretted divorcing Josic as it gave those men the chance to get near her.

“Mr. Gibson, thank you…“Jo” “ce

was hoarse. Her heart ached whenever she looked at him.

When Charles called Hen

she was foolish enough to hold onto some expectations.

His response had disappointed h

Whether she was dead or alive, Henry did not want anything to do with her.

“Josie!” Henry was unable to control his temper.

“Henry, are you done? Josie is still sick.” Samuel stopped Henry from saying anything further and refused to let Henry Josie.

He knew all about Josie’s health. It was not looking good.

Samuel wished he could punch Henry. What had he done to her all those years?

Josie did not want anyone to know her condition and deliberately hid it from everyone.

Samuel could only pretend that he did not know anything.

Henry glanced at Samuel coldly with a warning look.

Samuel lowered his eyes. “Henry, come out with me.”

Josie kept quiet. She was pinching her fingers underneath the quilt until they were all red.

What was Henry doing here?

“Jo, you must get well.” Madelyn sat by the bed and hugged Josie.

Josie nodded. She was determined to live well, regardless of what happened.

“Josie, do you want to try to get into a new relationship? People say that time and a new relationship would cure old wounds.” Madelyn knew that Josie was still unable to let go.

Josie loved Henry too much.

“Ezra is a really good man. He said he would always be waiting for you,” Madelyn said.

Josie suddenly remembered that she had left abruptly that day. “Yes, Ezra is a good man.”

It was rare that Ezra would dare to protect her in front of Henry.

“Actually, Samuel is a good man too, but he’s a rich man. We can’t afford to mess with him.” Madelyn sighed. She did not want Josie to get into another dangerous situation after just getting out of one.

“Do you think I’m so beautiful that many men would fall for me?” Josie tried to laugh, but she was too weak.

“We’re all Jo’s fans.” Madelyn looked at her proudly. “Jo, you… Do you love Henry?”

Josie was silent. She neither nodded nor shook her head.

Did she still love him?

She only felt that she had given up on him completely.

“Josie, I heard that you were sick. Henry brought me here to visit you.” While Josie and Madelyn were chatting, Ashley walked into the room in high heels, carrying a bouquet of flowers.

Ashley removed her sunglasses. She looked cheerful and bubbly.

“What are you doing here? Get out!” Madelyn’s face darkened. She did not want to extend any courtesy to Ashley.

“I’m here to tell Josie that Henry said that even though they are now divorced, Josie will always be his younger sister.” Ashley looked jubilant as she walked toward Josie. “Maybe we will be one family in the future.”

Josie clenched her fingers so tightly that she felt pain. Henry had actually come to visit her with Ashley.

He really wished for her to die early.
