Chapter 38


    Henry was stunned for a long time.


    “Dahon Corporation is going to fire you?” He had never instructed thepany to do that.


    “Do you find this fun, Mr. Gibson?” Josie said sarcastically. She asked, “Who else can threaten Dahon


    Corporation’s senior management to fire me?”


    Josie! Is that what you think of me?” Henry stepped on the brake, turned the caf around, and headed to


    Dahon Corporation.


    “And what exactly is that?” Josie’s throat was burning,


    In the past, she had never argued back with Henry. But now, her words were tinged with thorns.


    “Stay away from Samuel from now on!” Henry gritted his teeth. He felt that Josie had been destroyed


    by these people.


    Josie used to be obedient and well–behaved, but now she was always arguing!


    “Henry, it’s my freedom to be with anyone I want.” Josie hung up the phone.


    Looking at the disconnected call, Henry became angrier and angrier.


    Josie had hung up on him.


    In the past, Josie wouldn’t speak much and even politely talked when she called him. But now, she just


    hung up on him. It seemed she had gotten bolder.


    A little angry, Henry called his assistant. “Mackenzie, ask Dahon Corporation why they want to fire


    Josie.”


    He had never been in contact with Dahon Corporation’s senior management, let alone given the order


    to fire Josie.

    “Ms. Yates, I’m sorry… The receptionist at Dahon Corporation didn’t allow Josie to enter thepany.


    “Jo” Lydia came over and asked Josie to sit with her. “Come with me.”


    Josie’s face was pale, and she spoke in a hoarse voice. “Lydia, thepany has no right to fire me on


    a whim. Give me at reasonable exnation. Otherwise, I will sue thepany.”


    Jo, you’ve been in Dahon Corporation for so many years. Let’s treat this with respect. The executives


    didn’t want to do this, but it’s thew of the jungle. We have no choice. Lydia wanted Josie to calm


    down.


    “Treat this with respect? They are the ones who fired me.” Josie sat on the couch, her attitude clear.


    Josic, I can understand you, too. You offended the future Mrs. Gibson. I’m guessing that nopany in


    Hofcaster dares to hire you now.” Lydia sighed before continuing, “How about this? I’ll talk to the


    management again about yourpensation.


    Is that…”


    “The future Mrs. Gibson?” Josie frowned.


    “That day, I heard the leader on a phone call. Thepany had invited Ashley to endorse our newly


    developed product. When did you offend her?” Lydia said while looking around, unsure how Josie could


    mess with Ashley.


    Josie took a deep breath. “It’s Ashley again,” she thought.


    “Jo, you are too introverted and obedient, so it’s easy for you to get the short end of the stick. You


    should be more careful in the future,” Lydia sighed. She added, “I’ve been negotiating with the leader


    about you…”


    Without saying anything, Josie got up and left.


    She would look like a clown if she stayed.


    Her eyes had turned red as hopelessness threatened to overwhelm her.


    She needed money to see a doctor, but Henry did such a cruel thing to her for Ashley.


    Josiel


    Downstairs, when Josie walked out of the elevator, she saw Henry standing at the entrance.


    “Mr. Gibson?” Lydia covered her mouth in astonishment. She couldn’t believe Henry woulde to the


    company in person. “Mr. Gibson, are you here to visit….


    Henry was a little impatient and walked straight to Josie. “When did I tell Dahon Corporation to fire


    you?”


    “Isn’t it because I offended the future Mrs. Gibson?” Josie nced at Lydia, who was still in shock.


    “Ah, Mr. Gibson. This. Lydia’s voice was trembling.


    She couldn’t figure out what was going on. “Do you know Josie?”


    Henry frowned and remained silent.


    Josie knew Henry regretted being too impulsive and speaking to her in public.


    “Mr. Gibson!” Perhaps hearing the news from the receptionist, Dahon Corporation’s chairman had


    rushed downstairs at the speed of light. The chairman greeted, “Oh, what brings you here, Mr. Gibson?


    It’s a great honor.”


    Dahon Corporation relied on Gibson Corporation to survive. Josie was unfazed by his reaction.


    Josie is my sister, and she works in yourpany. I heard you are going to fire her, Henry said coldly.


    “Huh? Your sister… The chairman was scared out of his wits. He mumbled. “But your wife, Ms. Ashley


    Long, said that you… It seems that there is a misunderstanding.”


    The chairman quickly changed the topic. “It seems that one of the subordinates had mistakenly


    conveyed that there was a conflict between Josie and Ms. Ashley Long. We are doing this for mutual


    cooperation. All of this is due to at misunderstanding


    After that, he turned to Lydia and yelled, “What are you waiting for? Reinstate Josie immediately. Give


    her a promotion and


    a raise!”


    Lydia nodded, a little confused.


    “Since when was Josie Henry’s sister? I’ve worked with her for three years, but I never knew this. It


    looks like she buried this secret pretty deep,” Lydia thought.


    “There’s no need…” Josie said in a hoarse voice and left right away.


    Henry said she was his sister, but he silently admitted that Ashley was his wife.


    “Josie!” Henry chased after her but got a call from his assistant.


    His assistant exined, “Mr. Gibson, Ms. Ashley Long is the ambassador for Dahon Corporation’s


    products… Her manager probably knew that she and Ms. Josie Yates would have a conflict, so he


    intentionally mentioned it to Dahon Corporation’s people to prevent them from meeting each other so


    as not to cause unnecessary conflicts. Therefore…


    Henry cursed, feeling frustrated. “What a good–for–nothing!” he thought.


    Jo! Let me exin!” Henry called for Josie..


    13:04 Wed, 8 May


    However, Josie didn’t want to hear it.


    Jo, this was an oversight on my part, Ashley’s manager was kind by wanting to prevent a conflict


    between you two at work. It was Dahon Corporation’s fault for misunderstanding


    This was Henry’s fault, which was why he wanted to exin this to Josie.


    “Kind?” Josie chuckled weakly. She said, “It’s just a misunderstanding to you, but it’s a loss of work and


    ie for me! Henry… You’re really heartless”


    Jo. I apologize on Ashley’s behalf. Henry grabbed Josie’s wrist.


    “Since you lost your job and know it’s tough out there, you shoulde back to me!” he thought


    “You know it’s not easy to live away from home. You should have been obedient,” said Henry.


    Josie stood quietly and no longer had the strength to argue with Henry.


    “He apologized on Ashley’s behalf… she remarked inwardly.


    Those were some cruel words.


    It was like pushing her out of the door and telling her that Henry and Ashley were a family.


    She was just an outsider.


    “Come home with me. Seeing that Josie kept silent, Henry pretended she had heard it and pulled her


    along.


    Today, it was customary for them to go back to the Gibson residence and spend the night.


    In the past, Josie and Henry would go back on John’s birthday every year, butter on, his death


    anniversary was the only thing they needed toplete together.


    “Henry, take the subway with me. Let’s squeeze onto a bus… Josie said helplessly and went straight to


    the subway station by the road.


    Henry frowned. He felt that Josie was being unreasonable, but he still followed


    The subway station was very crowded, as it was rush hour after work.


    Josie skillfully bought tickets and entered the station’s entrance, waiting in the position she chose.


    Henry followed behind Josie with a frown. Everything was so strange to him.


    Ever since he was adopted by the Gibson family at the age of eight, he had never taken a subway or


    bus.


    Henry was lucky to have met John.


    Behind them, a group of people was waiting for the subway. It was very crowded.


    Henry pulled Josie into his arms with a dark expression, fearing those people would bump into her.


    He couldn’t understand why Josie asked him to take the subway. Was she trying to humiliate him or


    embarrass him?


    Or, was she reminding him that without John, he was no different from these ordinarymuters who


    had to take crowded buses every day?


    Josie remained silent the entire way, but as soon as they got off the subway, Henry couldn’t bear it


    anymore.


    “Satisfied?” Henry asked coldly. “Josie… Do you really see me as that kind of person? Do you think I’m


    who I am today only because of the Gibson family?*


    13:04 Wed, 8 May


    Josie stood at the entrance of the subway, her hands and feet feeling numb. It was not until this


    moment that she really understood that she and Henry were from totally different worlds.


    “Henry!” Ashley was already


    iting at the entrance of the Gibson residence.


    Joste stopped in her tracks and clenched her fingers tightly. “Why is she here?”
