Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Josie sat quietly in the disinfection room. She did not move much and did not say anything. While a nurse was helping to treat her wound, the former looked at Samuel nervously and cautiously. “How did she get hurt? Do you want us to do an x-ray for her? Why is she… doesn’t say anything when it hurts?” The nurse thought Josie had lost her mind after the injury. As Samuel looked at Josie, he felt sorry for her. Looking as if he had made up his mind, he walked over and held her hand. “Does it hurt?” Josie finally came into realization and shook her head. Tm afraid there are glass fragments inside. It’s better to check it in order to avoid infection and any scar. The nurse felt sorry for Josie. Then, the nurse mused to herself, “It’s a pity if there’s a scar left on such a beautiful face.” “Don’t be afraid. I won’t let you have any scars, Samuel said. As he comforted Josie, he squeezed her fingers. Josie nodded. In truth, she did not care much about scars. “Samuel, is Ashley… Did something happen?” Josie raised her head and her eyes were brimming with tears. It was not the result she wanted. She wanted to expose Ashley’s true colors in public and let the latter get the punishment she deserved. However, Josie only wanted her to be punished by law and not in such a way. “She brought it upon herself. Samuel comforted Josie as he added. “It has nothing to do with you.” Josie nodded with tears in her eyes. “But all her fans blame me. Just look at it. In the end, she still won.” Then. Josie laughed self-deprecatingly. “Don’t think too much about it, Jo. Samuel tightened his grip on Josie’s fingers. “Did she think that she would win when she risked her own life?”

“That’s impossible,” he mused to himself. Josie lowered her head and became silent. She did not say a word until the examination was over. When Henry knew about the incident, Josie’s wound had been sutured. “Jo… Henry pulled Josie into the exit passageway and held her face in his hand nervously. “Does it hurt?” “It’s fine…” Josie shook her head. Meanwhile, Samuel guarded the entrance to the exit passageway. When he glanced inside, he felt slightly sad.

“Ashley is fine. Her life isn’t in danger. No matter what people say on the internet tonight, don’t take it to your heart. Stay in Samuel’s house for a while. Try not to go out during the day, all right?” Henry coaxed her softly. Then, he added, “It won’t take long. Bear with it for the time being.” However, Josie remained silent. In fact, she was more calm than usual. Henry’s heart tightened. The last time Josie kept to herself and did not say anything was when her parents died. Henry’s eyes darkened for a moment. Feeling bad for her, he hugged Josie tightly. “Those fans. It’s obvious that they are instructed by someone therwise, they won’t do such a crazy and dangerous thing. 1/4 ||| It’s impossible for them to speak into the employees’ parking lot in Clusia Media Group if someone didn’t let them in on purpose,” he mused to himself. Meanwhile, outside the exit passageway, Samuel received a call. The person over the phone said, “Samuel, I have sent the surveillance camera footage and the negligent guards to the police. The police called me back just now. They said a security guard by the name of Warren Lane deliberately let several people in. Warren is the brother of one of the perpetrators. The police coaxed and pestered him before they were finally able to get the truth out of him.”

The person who called Samuel was Yuri. “Someone is trying to make a move through the fans. They are definitely instructed by the person.” Samuel had a feeling that if they were Ashley’s ordinary fans, they would not do such a crazy and unlawful matter. At best, Ashley was an actress who merely gained slight fame. So far, she did not have many famous works, so she would not have such crazy die-hard fans “Indeed. The police checked the social media accounts of soine of them. They are indeed fans, but they are not Ashley’s fans.” Yuri frowned before adding. This is such a has sle.” Therefore, they knew that the incident that happened to Ashley was not simple. “Ashley is someone who values her life much. She would never joke about her life. Keep an eye on Thomas.” The only one who understood Ashley’s each and every move was Thomas. After hanging up the phone. Samuel walked into the exit passageway. ‘T’ll let you take care of Jo for the time being.” Henry said to him grimly. The former had a warning tone in his voice that hinted to Samuel not to touch Josie, and it was as if Josie was owned by Henry. However, Samuel was indifferent toward Henry. “Something as big as this happened because of you, but you’re keeping quiet now. There are plenty of rumors on the internet. Why didn’t you come out to clarify them?” Henry did not say anything. “Is no one taking care of Ashley? Is there no caregiver? more Samuel said, the angrier he became. Do you need to stay here to keep watch on her every single day?” The Josie stretched her hand out to stop Samuel and shook her head at him. “Samuel should stop talking. Henry did it on purpose so that those people would think that Ashley is important to him. Only then would he be able to divert their attention,” she mused to herself. However, Josie merely glanced at Henry. She did not know the reason why he did not tell Samuel about it and continued to make Samuel misunderstand. As Henry did not say anything, Josie did not say anything as well

“Let’s go.” Samuel left with Josie. He knew that Henry would never change. Therefore, if Josie were to follow Henry, she would never be happy. She would only be hurt by him. “Let’s go home.” Samuel told Josie that he wanted to bring her home. 2/4 ||| With eyes brimming with tears, Josie glanced at Samuel. Then, she lowered her head and did not say anything. She then thought, Ashley almost died, and therefore, others would think it’s all Josie’s fault. Josie should have never provoked Ashley publicly on the internet She shouldn’t have deliberately hurt Ashley when she knew that Ashley has depression. She shouldn’t…. Josie felt a headache coming. The moment something happened to Ashley, everyone became kind toward Ashley on the internet. However, no one remembered that Ashley was the one who started the feud. In the meantime, Silas Cooper, who was next to Zachary, asked the latter. “Do you have a grudge against that female celebrity named Ashley?” So far, Spike trusted Silas the most. Moreover, Silas was also the man who secretly had an affair with Hazel. He was in his early thirties and was much younger than her.. Zachary snorted coldly before lighting a cigarette. “She’s a bi tch..” What’s the matter? Did she dump you?” It seemed like Silas was merely interested to know the reason, but it was not difficult to see that he was trying to pry into the matter. “My father adopted her as his daughter, and she was the one who caused his death,” Zachary said indifferently.

“Huh”” Silas did not ask for details as he already knew about it. “Then, what about Henry? I watched the recent news that he still loves Ashley, his childhood sweetheart. You have a grudge against her. Will he let you off the h ook?” When he mentioned Henry’s name, he could see clearly that Zachary’s face darkened. Moreover, the surrounding atmosphere was so tense that it was terrifying. “Did you see the scars on my face and stomach?” said Zachary as he pointed to the scars. Then, he added, “I’ve been wandering around all these years. I can’t go back home because of him.” Silas seemed to expect the answer. He nodded and said, “Mr. Taibbi wants me to warn you that Henry will be coming to see the gang tomorrow. Try to keep it low toward the end. After all, he is Mr. Taibbi’s guest” Zachary frowned. “Is Silas trying to remind me on purpose… that I should make a move as I see fit?” he wondered. However, in truth, Spike wanted to test him. Upon seeing that Zachary did not say anything and merely looked indignant, Silas smiled and left. Zachary snorted coldly. He knew that if he wanted to become Spike’s most trusted person, Silas had to be eliminated. Therefore, it depended on whether Henry was capable to do it. 3/4 |||
