Chapter 130


    On the way home, Josie whispered, “Samuel, Zachary didn’t kidnap Ashley.”


    It was still an hour’s drive from Frontier Bay to Hofcaster. Initially, Josie had been silent, but she


    suddenly said something.


    Samuel was stunned for a moment and held Josie’s hands tightly.


    He had no idea why Josie was so sure, but there must be a reason for her to say so. “Okay”


    He believed her.


    “Zachary has never abused or imprisoned Ashley. She is a liar.” Josie looked out of the window. She


    felt powerless.


    Her acting skills were not as good as Ashley’s “What am I going to do?”


    Henry, on the other hand, believed Ashley without a doubt.


    Perhaps, Ashley used certain means and lured Henry into her web of lies.


    “Zachary’s father didn’t hurt Ashley. The biggest mistake of his family was to adopt this demon from the


    orphanage.”


    “Jo, have you met Zachary?” Samuel frowned and asked cautiously.


    “Well… Today, Zachary was with me downstairs in the hospital. He didn’t have time tomit the


    crime.” Josie nodded.


    Samuel pulled Josie toward him in fear and held her tightly. “Jo! You are not allowed to see him alone


    in the future.”


    Josie leaned against Samuel and closed her eyes weakly. Her eyes hurt.

    “Do you believe Zachary?” Samuel asked in a low voice.


    “I trust Zachary more than Ashley,” Josie replied.


    Samuel did not say anything. He just hugged Josie quietly.


    After returning home, Samuel told Natalie to continue investigating Zachary and the grudge between


    him and Ashley


    He was willing to believe Josie, but he could not allow others to deceive her.


    “Jo?” Samuel answered the call.


    When he walked into the living room, the lights were not turned on even though Josie hade in


    before him.


    Jo?”


    Samuel panicked and hurried to look for Josie.


    In the dance studio, Josie was curled up in the corner holding her legs and looking at the night scenery.


    She had to go to the hospital again the next day. Her treatment had to continue, and she had to live


    well.


    Samuel took a deep breath and walked over slowly. He sat down and apanied her.


    “Samuel, has Ashley been located?”


    I think so. ording to the surveince camera of an abandoned warehouse in Frontier Bay, it was


    Zachary who kidnapped


    Ashley, But before he could hurt her, the police found her.”


    “What a coincidence… Josieughed, It had barely been more than an hour, and the police were so


    efficient.


    Ashley was afraid that a prolonged disappearance would cause adverse effects on her chance to join


    the filming crew of “A Pond of Reeds.”


    “A small part of the surveince video is here. Do you want to take a look?” Samuel handed the phone


    to Josie.


    She nced at the man in the video. The man in the video had a simr figure to Zachary and was


    wearing a cap and a coat of the same style. However, Josie could tell at one nce. “This is not


    Zachary,”


    “This actor that Ashley found resembles Zachary a lot, but it isn’t him,” Josie smiled. It was not Zachary.


    Ashley really used all her means to frame Zachary and gain Henry’s sympathy.


    Henry must have been the one who let Ashley go back that night. He would always feel guilty over


    what had happened.


    Ashley was so good at reading people.


    She was aware that Henry’s guilt for her was greater than any other feelings, so she used that


    repeatedly to gain his pity.


    “Zachary’s shoulder was injured. Although it was not very serious, it would definitely affect his ability to


    drag and carry heavy things. Moreover, his underwear was full of blood, and he had no time to change.


    Look at this person. His inner clothes looked too clean.”


    There were too many loopholes.


    “But now the police have identified the man as Zachary.”


    Josie rubbed her eyebrows. “Ashley, what the hell do you want?”


    In the hospital at Frontier Bay, Ashley did everything she could to be with Henry.


    Such an effort was touching


    Cecilia looked coldly at Ashley, who was lying on the hospital bed. Even though she did not have a


    single injury, she insisted on staying in the same ward as Henry.


    “Ms. Long, if you are terrified, you should go to the ward of the Psychological Department. What do you


    think?” Cecilia asked softly. Henry was there, so she was very polite.


    “Cecilia, don’t go overboard. Thomas was a little angry.


    Ashley did not say anything. She appeared frightened and was curled up in bed without saying a word.


    “What’s wrong? I’m only concerned for her. I’m afraid she will be frightened tonight, so I suggest she


    see a psychologist for some therapy. How did I go overboard? It’s so hard to be a good person


    nowadays,” Cecilia was indignant.


    “Did I say anything wrong just now?” she thought.


    “Cecilia, Ashley was frightened. She relies on Mr. Gibson to calm herself down. Don’t piss her off.


    Okay?” Thomas‘ tone was indeed imploring. He begged Cecilia notto mess with Ashley again.


    If Ashley really felt that Cecilia was an obstacle to her, he did not know what crazy things she would do


    next.


    Previously, Ashley asked him to let Cecilia take the me, but he could not do it.


    Ashley nced at Thomas coldly and said nothing. She med him for not doing a good job.


    Chapter Blo


    “Why is Cecilia still here?”


    “Cecilia, stop talking. Come here.” Henry was a little unhappy and found them noisy.


    Cecilia snorted and walked over to Henry.


    “Check on jo for me. She won’t answer my call.” All Henry could think about was Josie.


    When she left, her emotion was a little out of control.


    Cecilia made an OK gesture and went outside to make a phone call.


    Ashley was so pretentious.


    “Henry, Zachary came and looked for Josie and me. He has watched us since the beginning… I’m so


    scared.”


    Ashley sounded as if she was going to burst into tears. Once Thomas left, she looked at Henry


    tremblingly.


    “The police are hunting for Zachary. He won’t be free for long.” Henryforted Ashley in a low voice.


    “I’m too careless this time. It won’t happen again. Have a good sleep.


    “Henry… Can you hug me?” Ashley asked Henry in a hoarse voice.


    Henry was stunned and did not move.


    “Henry… Hug me like you did when I was a child, please?” Ashley begged Henry again in a hoarse


    voice.


    “Sleep well. Be good. My wound hurts, and I still have blood on my body.” Henry walked to Ashley’s


    bed and covered her with the nket. With me around, I will protect you and won’t let Zachary touch


    you.


    Ashley was trembling very violently. “Henry… He didn’t even hug me. In the past, it wasn’t like this.


    Josie! This is all her fault. She must have said something to Henry! Otherwise, he wouldn’t treat me this


    way!”


    This time, her original intention was to make Henry feel guiltier about her. She thought Henry would go


    and rescue her in person, but she did not expect that Josie would stop him.


    “Damn it, Josie! Why do you have to go against me every time? Bitch!”


    Ashley clenched her hands, and her eyes turned gloomy.


    She had to get rid of Josie….


    She had to.
