Chapter 24


    Henry’s whole body felt numb and stiff. He wanted to rush up, tear up the divorce certificate, and take


    Josie home so that she would be locked up. He wanted her to only have him in her eyes, smiled only at


    him, and cared only for him.


    However, it seemed that he was toote.


    I finally got divorced,” Josie thought.


    Josie walked out of the City Hall and looked at the divorce certificate in her hand before smiling.


    She was finally free.

    The tip of her nose suddenly felt a little warm. Josie stopped walking and instinctively raised her hand


    to touch it.


    She was startled by the red blood on her fingers.


    She tilted her head upward to stop the nosebleed. This always happened, and Josie seemed to have


    gotten used to it after a long while. She took out a tissue and wiped the blood off in a practiced manner.


    The blood seemed to have gotten inside her mouth. The rusty smell of blood was strong.


    Josie wanted to cry, but she didn’t dare to. She also wanted to vomit but couldn’t.


    Josie walked slowly while feeling like a homeless orphan.


    She had no family.


    Her parents and grandfather were gone.


    No one would really care about her.


    No one could save her, and no one would protect her.


    At Cedar Hill Cemetery, Josie sat in front of her parents‘ tombstone. She leaned against it with a vacant


    look in her eyes. She didn’t say anything and just sat there.


    She would sit there with a bouquet of lily of the valley until dark. She did this every year.


    Josie’s mother’s


    ‘s name was Kathy Yates. It was a beautiful name that was also fitting for her beautiful self.


    As a matter of fact, Kathy wasn’t a dancer in a seedy nightclub or anything. She was a ballet dancer


    and a beautiful woman who danced like she was flying.


    Josie’s father, Hayden, first met Kathy in a ballet theater.


    At that time, Kathy was as beautiful, noble, and pure as a white swan. She made people feel that the


    thought of touching her was sacrilegious.


    However, Hayden also saw a different side of Kathy at Morose Entertainment Club the very same night.


    Josie’s grandmother had congenital heart disease. Kathy had to go to school and work part–time to


    earn her tuition and pay


    for the treatment


    She was a noble white swan in the daytime, but she seemed to be a gorgeous ck swan at


    night. People would go crazy watching her dance on the stage.


    Hayden was attracted to Kathy and probably fell in love with her at first sight.


    Wed, 8


    A rich young master and a poor dancer were people from two different worlds.


    She could be his mistress, but she could never be his wife.


    However, Hayden fell deeply in love with Kathy after keeping her as his mistress for a while.


    He even gave up his right to inherit Gibson Corporation for Kathy, and resolutely break his rtionship


    with the Gibson family. They then eloped to start a new life.


    Hayden and Kathy gave Josie all their love.


    Josie once thought that she had the most handsome father and the most beautiful mother in the world.


    She was the happiest little princess in the world.


    However, that ident happened, and her parents were gone. She had to ept the reality even if she


    didn’t want to.


    She was now an orphan….


    No one would love her and care for her.


    The person Josie envied the most was not Ashley, but Kathy.


    She longed for a man like her father to appear in her life.


    She thought Henry was that man. She hoped he would be her savior.


    It turned out that the man was not a savior, but hade for her life.


    “Mom, did you use up all your luck? Is that why… I’m suffering right now?” Josie murmured in a low


    voice. Warm tears filled her eyes.


    She dazedly drifted off to sleep. Her thought was a blur. Josie thought that she would probably sleep


    there that night.


    Only with her parents could she be a little princess who had a family.


    Jo


    “Josie?”


    Josie fell asleep with an unclear mind, and her body’s temperature was scarily high after being in that


    state for a long while.


    She still had an injury on her forehead and was now slipping into aa.


    “Henry…


    Her sight was a little blurred.


    Josie thought it was Henry.


    However, she deemed this impossible. It was just a hallucination.


    “You really are stupid. Henry is busy on a date with his mistress. There’s no way he will care about your


    well–being?” The person’s voice was full of anger, and the sharp words cleared Josie’s mind instantly.


    “Samuel… Why are you here?” Josie had no strength to push Samuel away, so she could only resign


    herself to be carried in his arm mercilessly.


    “Are you disappointed?”


    Josie didn’t say anything and just stared at her parents‘ tombstone.


    weu, o may


    There was a bunch of lilies next to her bouquet of lily of the valley.


    Every year, someone would ce a bouquet of lilies in front of the tombstone. She thought it was


    Charles. It turned out that it wasn’t him.


    It was Samuel.


    Josie was actually surprised that Samuel remembered her parents‘ death anniversary. If she was not


    mistaken, she had only told him about it once.


    She didn’t expect him to remember it for so many years.


    This man might not be as bad as she had thought.


    “Divorced?” Samuel asked.


    Josie nodded.


    TO


    Thope you can cure your faulty taste in men as soon as possible. Samuel said sarcastically.


    Josie lowered her head. Perhaps her thoughts had been correct all along.


    Samuel was indeed not a bad guy.


    He just had a sharp tongue.
