Chapter 275
"Why did you fall asleep here?" Josie asked in a low voice.
Smiling weakly, Henry rubbed his eyebrows and got out of the car. "I slept too late last night."
"What happened?" Josie knew Henry well. She thought, "Something must've happened. Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared in front of me in such a mess." "Hazel... Something did happen," Henry said in a deep voice.
Josie stared at Henry in shock. "Is it Spike?"
"The police are still investigating. It has nothing to do with Spike," Henry smiled bitterly. "Jo, do you believe in retribution?"
"People are dead?" Josie was shocked and didn't recover for a long time.
In fact, after hearing the news of Silas' death, she had already guessed that Spike would not let Hazel go, but she never expected that the other woman would die.
After all, Spike had held back from killing Hazel for Henry's sake.
"Yes." Henry nodded.
Taking a deep breath, Josie leaned against Henry's car. "I believe there is retribution in this world."
Henry glanced at Josie. "Jo, Sergio was taken away by the police. Before I came here, Caden called me and said that Sergio surrendered himself, and the police re-investigated the case of your parents. The dust will settle down." Everyone who hurt Josie would be punished.
"Henry, don't tire yourself out. This has nothing to do with you in essence." Josie didn't know how to comfort him and couldn't say anything more.
That was the extent of her relationship with Henry.
They were neither too close nor distant.
The relationship between an ex-wife and her ex-husband was very awkward.
"Maybe..." Henry's voice was hoarse, and he said again after a long silence. "Just maybe... Would you be willing to give me a chance to repent?"
Josie glanced at Henry. "No."
Henry's throat moved visibly, and his eyes slowly reddened as he fell silent.
"Henry, it's not your fault that we divorced. There's a huge problem with me. We shouldn't have hurt each other from the beginning. If one of us has sunshine in our hearts and is willing to warm each other, we won't be here," Josie looked at Henry quietly and smiled. Henry lowered his head and didn't dare to look into Josie's eyes.
This was something he should have done.
Taking a deep breath, Henry nodded. "I see..."
Samuel was like a beam of light in Josie's life. He could provide Josie with warmth and bring her light and hope.
Meanwhile, Henry was an abyss.
If Josie stayed with him, Josie would be staring into the abyss every day.
Slowly, she would collapse, and the abyss, too, would collapse.
Two people who were too similar to each other would only hurt each other when they were together.
"Henry, you will meet someone who is willing to love you wholeheartedly, warm you, and illuminate your world."
"You're the only one who's not allowed to say those words to me." Smiling bitterly, Henry turned around and got into the car.
Josie knew that Hazel's death had hit Henry hard, after all. "Henry..."
"This is for you. Do whatever you want with it." Henry handed a box to Josie.
Josie accepted the box. However, before she could even open it, Henry had already reversed the car and left.
Josie chased after him a few steps. Feeling that Henry was in a bad state, she called Samuel.
However, Samuel was in a meeting and could not answer the phone.
Josie was anxious and didn't know who to look for. "Who can I contact? Maybe Zachary?"
Zachary was by Spike's side, so it was not convenient for her to make a phone call.
After thinking for a long time, Josie remembered Cecilia.
"Cecilia, can you contact Henry? His emotions... Something's wrong."
"Josie, I'm sorry. I'm no longer Mr. Gibson's assistant. Mr. Taibbi and I are attending a meeting in Strico."
Josie took a deep breath. "You're no longer Henry's assistant? What do you mean?"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"Mr. Gibson said that he wanted to leave the Gibson Corporation." Cecilia had long wanted to tell Josie, but since Josie had a new life now, she deliberately held back from saying too much. She did not want to disturb Josie's new life,
Josie's hand, which had been holding the phone, froze. "He's going to leave the Gibson Corporation?"
"Mr. Gibson said that the Gibson
Corporation didn't belong to him, as if it was stolen by him. He gave his shares to Charles and Quinton and chose to liquidate them." Cecilia did not know what Henry was going to do with so much money, but Cecilia was worried about Henry,
"Got it..."
After hanging up the phone, Josie called Charles.
"Jo, what a pleasant surprise!" Charles answered the phone quickly.
"Henry gave you control over the Gibson Corporation?" Josie's voice was low as she voiced her question.
Charles was stunned. He thought, "How did Josie know? I thought Henry was planning to keep it a secret?"
To Josie, he said, "Oh, yes. He planned for it."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Josie was a little angry.
"Jo, you know how Henry can be. He forbade me from telling you. Obviously, I dared not go against his wishes." Charles felt a little embarrassed.
"What is he planning to do?" Josie's heart beat faster, and her eyelids throbbed. She felt as if something was going to happen.
"He said he wanted to leave the city, find a new place, and start over," Charles sighed. "With Henry's ability, he can shine everywhere." Josie ran a few steps and stopped slowly.
"Is Henry going to leave Hofcaster?" she wondered.
"Your relationship with Samuel hit
him hard. Although he used to be quite a jerk, it seems cruel to let him see you happy. So, don't ask. Let him goand start over. Maybe he can divert his attention," Charleso persuaded Josie.
Josie stood there, tears falling silently on the ground.
Clutching her phone, Josie hid on the street and cried for a long time.
There were so many people in this world who could not be together.
"Jo, don't be sad. Since you have chosen Samuel, don't break his heart."
Charles didn't know how to comfort Josie. In essence, Josie's feelings for Henry stemmed from childhood and were engraved in her soul.
However, both of them knew that it would only hurt if they continued to be together, given their personalities.
In fact, Charles was not surprised that Josie would choose Samuel.
Samuel's family background and personality were the best choice for Josie.
It was reasonable that she would fall in love with Samuel.
If Josie was more selfish, she could completely ignore Henry.
After all, it was Henry who threw away all her feelings.
Once, she had loved him bravely.
"Help me check on him. He's not in good shape." Josie knew that she could never set foot in Henry's world again.
"Okay, I'll handle this. Take care of yourself." Charles motioned Josie not to worry.
"Charles, no matter which city he goes to, please help him." Josie's voice was filled with urgency. "Don't let him know." "Okay," Charles smiled. Henry was not an idiot, but no one knew what he was thinking.
