Chapter 77


    Chapter 77


    Henry’s veins appeared to almost burst as he grasped tightly. He knew he was in the wrong, but he


    wouldn’t give in,


    “Even from the beginning. I never intended to return Josie to you


    Word by word. Henry dered to Samuel that Josie was his


    “It doesn’t matter if we’re married or divorced. She’s mine. Never will I allow what is mine to stray too


    far from me.”


    Samuel’s breathing intensified, and he thought Henry was irrational, if not insane.


    “You’re a madman! A possessive l u n a t c!” Samuel pushed Henry away. “Josie’s a human, not an


    object. She’s not anyone’s possession. She has the freedom to live!”


    Henryughed hysterically at himself.


    Samuel was right. He was a possessive crazy man.


    Before that, he had never imagined he would cling to Josie with such obsession.


    He never really wanted to get divorced, and it was thest rash decision he had ever regretted.


    But after agreeing, he was forced to carry out his decision. He wanted to show Josie that life would be


    difficult if she were to leave him.


    Only if she stayed by his side would she be secure. Josie would obedientlye back to him in that


    case.


    “Samuel, you’re nothing. You can’t protect her at all. You don’t deserve her.”


    Henry lowered his voice and sneered at Samuel. He thought, “He was raised in the Turner family, so


    how can he defend Josie when he can’t even defend himself?”


    Those folks had always led naive lives.


    If it weren’t for him, who kept Josie carefully hidden during thest three years, she wouldn’t be alive


    then..


    How naive.


    They obviously had no idea about the Gibson family’s dark schemes,


    Although he acknowledged that that was an extreme measure, it was the best way to safeguard Josie.


    I’ll protect her. You don’t have to worry about it!” Samuel clenched his hands.


    “You knew what caused Hayden’s death. Can you even keep Josie safe? What are you capable of?


    You lost control three years ago and nearly killed someone. What else can you do to keep her safe?


    Every time, your alleged defenses either almost cost you your life or led you astray.”


    Henry smiled and looked at Samuel ironically.


    These young men, who had affluent upbringings, were generally naive in their actions.


    Ten years ago, when she was kidnapped, you were almost stabbed to death by a gangster. The ironic


    thing is that Josie had no idea you were there! You touched Josie during the ident three years ago


    because you were unable to restrain yourself. She wouldn’t think twice about killing you if she knew


    that you had touched her.”

    Henry had kept these secrets well buried. Despite his selfishness, he didn’t want to set Josie off.


    1, too, am a victim.” Samuel’s breath caught in his throat as he looked away.


    “Don’t defend your actions. You used drinking as an excuse for your lustful desires. Don’t talk so highly


    of yourself. When we approached Josie, we both had intentions. We both know who’s more righteous


    he Samuel’s weakness.


    “Don’tpare me to you. I’m not like you!”


    Samuel’s head ached. He was indeed feeling sick.


    “Stop messing with Josie. Nobody else except me is entirely capable of defending her


    Henry wanted Samuel to realize that, despite bein Josic


    Henry sneered. He knew it was


    a member of the Turner family, thetter was incapable of defending


    Josie’s challenges were still ahead of her, Others were eager to have her. No one would truly defend


    her aside from him.


    “Henry, have you ever loved her? Samuel said in a low voice.


    Henry’s body tensed up slightly. He hesitated.


    In fact, he had gone out of his way to use and manipte Josie as soon as she arrived at the Gibson


    residence.


    He questioned himself. “Is that love?”


    He struggled to differentiate between love and possessiveness.


    “Whether that love exists or not, she is mine.” Samuel was forewarned by Henry, who then turned to


    depart


    “Henry, you are such a jerk.” Samuel sneered. He continued, “I will tell Josie what happened three


    years ago. Nothing you do can threaten me. Also, I will never let go of Josie as long as I live. Bring it


    on. Do anything you want to me.”


    Henry’s breathing immediately became shallow as his steps abruptly came to a stop.


    Josie was standing behind a car parked on the side, gripping some cold medicine out of dread and


    horror.


    “Jo… At that moment, Henry’s heart seemed to be tord apart. He panicked. “Jo!”


    Henry panicked and ran after Josie as he saw her flee.


    Samuel’s fingers were weak. “It’s Josie,” he thought. “What did she hear? Did she hear everything that


    happened three years ago?


    Samuel was gasping for air. Hecked even the guts to try to catch up.


    Henry was right. He was also a s c u m b a g – a s


    cumbag who took advantage of others’ misfortunes.


    At a college graduation party three years ago, a madman had a long-standing obsession with Josie.


    Taking advantage of the gathering, he drugged Josie’s drink.


    Samuel just so happened to meet his friends at Norman Hotel that evening. Since he was a senior, he


    was invited to have a drink.


    The drink the madman had intended to consume also had something wrong with it.


    Samuel acknowledged that he had intentions when he epted the invitation. He was eager to see


    Josie.


    However, Josie was nowhere to be bound

    Samuel’s heart was pounding frantically. He went back and headed for the hotel room


    As soon as he exited the elevator, he saw Franco secretly opening a door
