Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 52

Chapter 52 “Samuel, are you with Jo?” Samuel received a call from home shortly after Henry left. You father invested a lot of time and effort in the Doveston Development Zone project. It was almost done when Gibson Corporation interfered. Your father wants you to ask Henry what this means.” Tania was angry but kept her cool. The Turner family had lowered their guard against Gibson Corporation since they were family friends with the Gibsons. Moreover, Tania had been watching over Henry ever since he was a kid. But Henry went too far this time. Samuel tightened his grip on his phone and stole a glance at Josie, worried that she would overhear their conversation. “Mom, I’ll come home tomorrow afternoon. Josie and I are fine. Don’t worry.” Tania was silent for a long while before she spoke up. “Bring Josie home if you have time to spare. I’ll make you some good food “Okay, Jo says she wants to eat your pork stew.” Samuel chuckled. Josie was chewing food she couldn’t really taste when she overheard Samuel. She paused and looked up instinctively. All she did was eat a few more mouthfuls of the pork stew made by Tania when she had dinner with the Turners. A few more mouthfuls were a great feat for her as she was a picky eater. “Samuel.. remembers?” Samuel sat himself down opposite Josie after he hung up. “These are braised country-style pork ribs. Is the food not to your liking!” Josie was a little flustered as she gave Samuel a look. “No… It’s good.” “Then finish it.” Josie was always on edge. Even though Samuel wasn’t threatening her like Henry, she could not fight back.

“Samuel…” Everyone was in extremely low spirits after dinner. Samuel cleaned up after dinner and turned to face Josie. “Let’s end this. Don’t visit… ever again. Henry’s the type to hold grudges. He must have gotten the wrong idea again just now.” She wasn’t afraid of Henry getting the wrong idea; she merely didn’t want to cause more “Josie, what are you afraid of?” Samuel frowned. He could tell that Josie was scared. Madelyn focused on her snacks and kept quiet. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Samuel was even scarier than Henry when he was mad. Duble to Samuel. “I’m worried that Henry’s a lun a t i c,” Josie told Samuel. “I’m worried he will go all out when he goes crazy.” 18:0 Chapter 52 Wed, 8 Ma Henry almost strangled her to death because of Ashley and drove her to despair by every means possible. What else could he not do? Josie, do you believe me?” Samuel stared at her and didn’t say anything further. Josie’s heart tightened and averted her gaze. She believed Samuel could take care of it but refused to drag him into the mess. “I’m not worth it” O “I don’t believe both of you. I don’t even know why you approached me. Samuel. I’ve lost everything. Please get out of my life if you’re not here to add fuel to the fire,”

“Take a good rest… Hurt flashed in Samuel’s eyes as he got up and left without saying anything further. After Samuel closed the door behind him, Madelyn carefully made her way over to Josie and sat down. “Jo, you don’t think that way, right?” “Did you listen in on Samuel’s call?” Josie asked bitterly. “It sounds like some kind of project, and Henry’s name was mentioned.” Madelyn knew it wasn’t good news even though she didn’t hear everything I just found out that Henry is an absolute madman…” Josie dug her nails so hard into her fingers that she didn’t realize it was bleeding. She had no intention of starting a new relationship. Samuel would just be wasting his time on her. It was pointless, even if she believed that Samuel’s feelings were sincere. “Why should I drag Samuel into this mess if there’s no point to it? Henry’s a madman. He attacks whoever falls It’s terrible… She had no intention of going against Henry head-on, nor did she have the strength to do it. All she wanted was to get a job, recuperate, and receive treatment. to him. Sure enough, Samuel didn’t show up again after that day. Madelyn was the one who stuck around instead and made sure she ate three meals a day. Josie suspected Madelyn had been bribed, but she couldn’t prove it. “Why are you always making sure I eat?” Josie rolled his eyes. *Because I’m concerned for you, okay?” Madelyn would never tell her that Samuel had enticed her with luxury bags. Josie didn’t expose Madelyn. She watched as Madelyn replaced the withered balloon flowers in the vase with the hydrangea flowers she had brought back. “Don’t forget the class reunion this afternoon. Dress up, and let’s outshine them all Madelyn was determined to turn things around for herself. Josie smiled weakly. She wasn’t in the mood to dress up.

“Can we sk i p it?” Josie said in a low voice. She had submitted countless resumes this week but received no response. 18:07 Wed, 8 May Chapter 32 Josie began to panic as she stared into space in front of the computer. Don’t worry. Henry won’t be there. He never attends class reunions. Have you forgotten? Madelyn thought Josie was afraid of Henry Josie kept quiet as she stared at her inbox. “Looking for a job?” Madelyn went up to Josie. “How about joining Clusia Media Group?” Clusia Media Group?” Josie looked up at Madelyn “The boss of Clusia Media Group is very mysterious. No one has ever met him, even though the media company was established three years ago. Have you ever watched the award-winning film, ‘Life Combat’ last year? Our company directed Madelyn joined the company not long ago, but the working environment was very comfortable. “Tristan, the guy who won best actor twice in a row, and Hazel, the hottest star right now, are also part of our company. I’ll keep the models and singers to myself since you won’t know who they are even if I tell you.” Josie shook her head. Clusia Media Group wouldn’t want to hire her since they were working closely with the Film and Television Department of Gibson Corporation. “Forget it. I have an acquaintance in the Human Resource Department. I’ll ask him tomorrow.” Madelyn sent Josie’s resume to herself. “No need… Josie was worried that Madelyn would find out that Henry was the one behind it all. She knew about Clusia Media Group since she used to work closely with them when she was with Dahon Corporation. The mysterious boss managed to develop the company into a leader in the comprehensive media industry in a few years. Besides that, Yuri, the young man who greeted her, was of similar age and very capable. Josie, hurry up. It’s almost time. Madelyn insisted on taking Josie to the class reunion.

Josie obliged begrudgingly since she didn’t want to humiliate Madelyn. She was forced to change into a white dress that accentuated her beauty as her long black hair draped over her shoulders. Josie’s flawless and pale face made her look ill but beautiful. “Perfect!” Madelyn was lost in thought as she stared at Josie. It always gave her the impression that even the higher-ups were jealous of Josie’s beauty and would whisk her away at any moment. She walked up and hugged Josie. “Josie, you are stunning. What should I do if G o d takes you away and makes you His angel?” “Is it that easy to become an angel?” Josie smiled but felt bitter. “Maybe one day, I’ll leave this world behind. I must have used up all my luck in this lifetime if I could go to heaven.” Meanwhile, at Holcaster. The class reunion of Acocester University was held at Norman Hotel, the best hotel in Hofcaster. Most of them were already social elites. Josie followed Madelyn down the bus reluctantly “Ezra!” Madelyn caught sight of Ezra from afar. Ezra was stunned for a moment before his eyes fell on Josie. Chapter 32 Inwardly. Ezra reflected, “Josie is truly beautiful, unfortunately… Ezra avoided her gaze and ran away. Josie frowned. It was obvious that Ezra had been threatened. “Oh, isn’t this our campus belle, Josie?” A shrill veice sounded behind them.. 色
