Chapter 29
Chapter 29
Henry Josic opened the door.
The door was only slightly opened, and Henry had already grabbed her wrist. The moment he entered through the door, he pinned her against the corner.
It hurt a little. Josie did not know what Henry wanted to do. “What’s wrong with you?”
It was raining at night, and she wondered what he was doing there.
Are you dating Samuel?” Henry’s voice was a little hoarse.
Josie did not know what Henry meant. “Who I’m seeing has nothing to do with you. After all, we’re divorced.”
Josie thought it was ridiculous.
“You just got divorced, and you’re already toying with so many men. Am I dead to you, Josie?” Henry was obviously furious.
Josie could smell the strong alcohol scent on Henry. In the past three years, Josie had never known Henry liked to drink.
Maybe he was too good at putting on an act.
“How many men have you fooled around with when we were married for three years, huh?” Henry interrogated Josie, not knowing what answer he wanted to hear.
Slap! Henry threw a stack of photos at Josie.
Josie’s breathing quickened as she looked at the photos on the ground with trembling eyes. Someone had secretly photographed her and Charles.
Josie’s mind turned blank. Over the years, Charles indeed often contacted her, and the place she worked at collaborated with Gibson Corporation. The project leader was Charles.
She never thought about it too much and never knew she was photographed.
Regardless, there was nothing between them.
Tears welled up in her eyes. Josie wanted to explain, but she could not say a word.
“Is Henry here to accuse me?” She thought.
Even though they were divorced, Henry still suspected she was disloyal to their marriage.
How do you explain this?” Henry could not accept Josie’s infidelity during the marriage, even after their divorce.
“I didn’t…” Josie only shook her head like a fool.
It was raining heavily outside the window, and Josie’s mind went blank.
“First is Charles, then Samuel Henry held his phone, showing a photo of Josie and Samuel on the screen. “Heh, I underestimated you, Josie. I never knew you lusted for men so much all these years.”
“Where did you get these pictures from?” She asked as she pondered, “We’re divorced, so where did he get his hands on these photos?”
Obviously, someone was plotting against her.
Henry had lost all rationality. Even if it was a scheme, he could not suppress the anger in his heart.
He could not remain calm and logical after seeing those photos sent to his email at the company.
Did you sleep with him?” The time was recorded on the photos of her going to a hotel with Charles last year.
Josie’s eyes were burning, and she desperately explained, “Last year, Dahon and Gibson Corporation collaborated, and Charles was the project leader. I was just in charge-”
She was only responsible for taking Charles to the hotel.
“In charge of sleeping with him?” Henry pinched Josie’s chin, his eyes chilling.
That day, Charles dared to provoke him in the company, saying Josie had already slept with the former.
Henry lost his mind and only wanted to end Charles at that moment.
“Talk!” It was apparent Henry’s reason had yet to return.
Josie was in great pain, hot tears dripping onto the back of Henry’s palm.
No matter how she explained, Henry would not believe her. “We… We’re divorced. Please get out.”
In the end, she was unable to explain it.
After all, they were divorced.
It hurt to breathe, and Josie only wished for Henry to leave.
“Do you
admit it?” Henry let go of Josie and looked at her with disgust.
Since she did not explain, he took it as her admitting to it.
Josie stepped back helplessly and kept shaking her head.
“Is this what Henry wants? For me to admit it?” She thought, “Did he come here to accuse me of infidelity because he was certain? I’ve already given him the shares. What else could he want?”
“Josie, you know what my bottom line is.” Henry pulled Josie back into his arms and trapped her roughly.
Over the years, he had been too gentle to Josie.
“What are you doing, Henry?” Looking at Henry’s deep eyes, Josie was suddenly afraid.
“Let go of me!”
Josie tried to push Henry away in panic and ran to the sofa to get her phone.
“Should I call the police or call for help? I don’t know,” she hesitated inwardly.
“Josie, have I been too tolerant of you?” Henry asked as he thought, “Is that why she tried every means to divorce me to stay with another man?”
“Haven’t I satisfied you enough for all these years?” Henry’s voice was icy. He snatched her phone, threw it away, and pinned Josie onto the sofa.
Josie looked at Henry in fear.
She had never felt this terrified before.
In her last memory, Henry was Josie’s savior. He descended from the heavens as if he could eliminate all darkness and coldness.
12/49 Wed, 8 May
However, as a storm approached outside the house and the lights dimmed. Henry was more like a devil, dragging her into hell and tearing her into shreds.
The bones and joints all over her b*dy hurt. Josie did not dare let herself get hurt again.
The doctor said even a minor wound could kill her.
Yet, she could not care much at that moment.
Henry wanted to force himself onto her, but every touch was humiliating and torturous to her.
The glass–roofed terrace at Cote Restaurant had a unique allure on a rainy night.
Ashley wore a red strap dress, swaying a glass of wine in her hand like a monarch celebrating in advance.
“As requested, I have passed those photos and messages to Henry. I won’t take this beating for nothing.”
It was Charles sitting opposite Ashley.
His face was bruised, looking miserable and ridiculous.
Henry was brutal with his attacks, especially when a nerve was struck.
“Let’s celebrate in advance.” Ashley smiled at Charles.
Both Charles and Ashley hoped Henry and Josie would divorce.
“Let’s wait until I get Josie. Charles had always aimed for Josie.
“She gave all her shares to Henry Ashley squinted and wondered what Charles would do.
“Josie is the legal heir. An agreement signed under coercion does not count.” Charles smiled as he thought, “Once I marry Josie, I can legally take the shares from Henry.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Ashley stared at Charles coldly, thinking, “This man is dangerous.”
She hoped that Henry and Josie would divorce, but she did not want Charles to destroy Henry.
“Then, I wish us good cooperation in advance.” Ashley’s eyes became more freezing.
She had to speed up the process and eliminate the hidden danger that was Josie as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Josie could be a ticking time bomb at any moment.
Ashley did not
t want Hen
Henry’s status to be affected because of this.
Inside Josie’s apartment, Henry tore apart her pajamas, and Josie had no strength to struggle as her joints hurt.
The chill seemned to penetrate through the skin and into her bones. She was in agony.
“Henry… Let me go… Josie begged for mercy as she cried.
“Let me go,” she pleaded inwardly.
Her consciousness was fading, and Josie felt like she was in hell.
She remembered the day she met Henry. An angel–like hala enveloped his b*dy.
Now, Josic only felt her vision fade.
Please…
