Chapter 20


    Ashley, who was wearing sunsses and a cap, walked into a restaurant along the coast After she


    went into the private room, only did she take them off. I’m surprised you’re willing to see me, Josie.


    “A celebrity has asked to meet me. Of course, I’d be d to oblige. Josie waited for Ashley to take a


    seat before she continued. “You are the one who spread the news.


    “What are you talking about? 1 do not know anything about that.” Ashley pretended to be innocent.


    There are no outsiders here. I know what you want.” Josie knew what Ashley wanted from the


    beginning.


    “Do you think I’ll divorce Henry as you wish just because you got reporters to spread rumors about me


    daily?” questioned Jose mockingly, hinting that Ashley’s actions were rather childish.


    There were much moreplications between Josie and Henry than Ashley had imagined.


    If it hadn’t been because Josie hadpletely given up on Henry, she wouldn’t have asked him for a


    divorce if she could still tolerate it.


    What made her decide to file for divorce was that Henry didn’t love her at all and didn’t care whether


    she was alive or dead. On top of that, she would not be able to live long anyway.


    Ashley gritted her teeth. She hated Josie’s condescending attitude the most


    “Don’t do such a childish thing again. Only a few people know about our marriage. If I really looked into


    it, you’ll be caught red–handed in no time, so stop challenging me. After saying, Josie stood up and


    made to leave.


    “You’ve always been so arrogant, Josie. Henry is nothing more than an adopted child from an


    orphanage to you, right?” said Ashley.


    Josie turned hack and clenched her fists.


    “Henry was adopted, but he is my husband and the righteous heir of Gibson Corporation.”


    “But you two are going to divorce soon,” stated Ashley aggressively.


    “Yes, we’re getting divorced. You should mind your own business and don’t stir up trouble again.


    Otherwise, if I change my mind, you will never be able to show your face in public anymore: Josie


    warned Ashley word by word before she opened the door and left.


    Ashley’s face contorted from anger. When she was sure Josie had left, she took out the recording pen


    from her pocket.


    Edit this and reveal it to the public.


    “Do you really think you can make Henry marry you with an edited recording?” Thomas thought


    Ashley’s n was unrealistic and that she would likely shoot herself in the foot.


    “No, this is just the beginning. You have to help me with one more important thing.” Ashley giggled and


    whispered her n


    in Thomas‘ cars.


    Thomas stared at Ashley in shock and eximed inwardly, “This woman is cruel indeed.”


    After Josie left the restaurant, she hid in a corner for a long time.


    She took out the painkiller from her bag with trembling tingers and swallowed it to relieve her pain.


    After taking a deep breath, Josie looked up at the sky.


    Initially, she had made up her mind to give Henry everything to make sure he would have no worries,


    However, she was now reluctant to do that, so she kept twenty percent of the shares.


    Jo, that b’stard, Henry, must have said something to my superiors. I got fired.” Madelyn, who was


    burning with rage, came to see Josie


    Initially, Madelyn didn’t want to tell Josie about it, but she must let thetter know about Henry’s true


    colors.


    Josie grabbed Madelyn’s wrist with her numb fingers and asked with a trembling voice, “Did Henry talk


    to your superior?”


    “He must have. I asked my superior about it, and he didn’t dare to admit it. Who else could it be except


    for Henry?”


    Jo


    Josie turned around and headed toward Gibson Corporation.


    She did not care how Henry treated or mistreated her, but she would not allow him to harm her friend.


    The warm tears she shed burned her skin as she thought, “Henry knows very well that I don’t really


    have any friends except for Madelyn. He is also aware that I lost my parents when I was fifteen and


    then my grandfather three years ago. He knows how much Madelyn means to me. He clearly knows all


    this.”


    Josie knew that Henry did everything on purpose to get to her.


    Just a word from Henry was enough to adversely affect the people around her.


    However, she wondered why he had to hurt her so much despite not loving her and why he couldn’t


    trust her at all.


    “Miss, you can’t enter without an appointment,” said the receptionist as she halted Josie at Gibson


    Corporation.


    “Didn’t they remind you to recognize thepany’s shareholders during the orientation?” Josie red


    at the receptionist coldly. Her temperament was intimidating.

    The receptionist was shocked as she couldn’t recall Josie’s position in thepany.


    Besides, Ashley reminded her that no one should meet Henry without an appointment.


    “I’m sorry, we…


    “My name is Josie Yates. I’m the eldest daughter of the Gibson family and the granddaughter of John


    Gibson, the founder of Gibson Corporation. May I enter now?”


    It was the first time Josie made use of her identity. She usually did not like throwing her weight around.


    That was also thest time she would do such a thing.


    She swore she would end things with Henry no matter what that day.


    Although she seldom lost her temper, that did not mean she did not have one.
