Chapter 139


    “Zachary, you’re being overprotective. You got a crush on her?”


    “No one cany a finger on her before Oliver says anything” Zachary looked fierce even though he was


    just a teenager at that


    time.


    “The boss is here. You all better be smart.”


    No one dared to argue anymore. They hid behind the door and watched a ck Land Rover drive into


    the warehouse.


    The man in a suit who got out of the car looked just like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.


    That was the first time Zachary met Spike.

    “Have you caught him?” Spike asked coldly. He looked down and lit a cigarette.


    “It’s not easy to catch Henry, but we caught a little girl who’s probably the granddaughter of the Gibson


    family.”


    “Probably?” Spike narrowed his eyes.


    Oliver was so frightened that he quickly bowed his head. “Yes. Her name is Josie.”


    Spike’s hand holding the cigarette froze for a moment. He obviously knew Josie. “Well, you made a


    lucky hit.


    After a long silence, Spike spoke again. “Make it snappy and ensure no lives are spared.”


    “Boss… W–Well, if… Oliver was still slightly worried. Murder was a grant crime, after all.


    “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of your wife and children for you. You know what to do if the police get to you,


    right?” Spike reminded him.


    “Yeah, I know.” Oliver nodded.


    “Okay. Deal with it as you like. Put the heir of the Gibson family to death as well” Spike narrowed his


    eyes.


    At that time, Spike did not know that Henry was his son.


    In fact, Spike would not care even if he knew the truth.


    To him, Henry should not have existed in the first ce.


    Zachary’s palms were sweating when he heard the conversation. In that way, the rapacious people


    around him would be more unscrupulous.


    It was impossible for them not to raise a hand against someone who was about to perish.


    “You guys take care of it. Keep them alive because they’re still useful. We’ll talk about the restter.”


    Oliver took a sip of wine while cursing after Spike left.


    Zachary’s eyelids twitched nonstop. At that time, he just felt pity for Josic.


    However, when he turned around and looked at Josie, who was curled up in the corner with gloomy


    eyes, Zachary still could


    not bear it.


    The people from his gung grabbed Josie’s slender, white ankles, ring to pull her out of the corner.


    Zachary punched one of them to the ground without a word.


    “Zachary, what is wrong with you? Do you have your eyes on her? I’ll let you go first. After you? That


    man knew that he was no match for Zachary. Although Zachary was young, he was crazy. He would


    not consider his life when he fought, and the look in his eyes would be even scarier.


    “I’m not used to being watched. Get out,” Zachary scolded.


    “Are you afraid of hurting your pride? The thugs lit their cigarettes with a smile and dragged the boy


    who had been beaten. away. All right. He’s young. Let him go.”


    Zachary’s breathing was ragged. He was trying to find a way to take Josie away.


    As Josie’s shoes were nowhere to be found, the bruises and wounds on her fair feet were obvious.


    Josie was so scared that she was shivering all over.


    Zachary walked over carefully, squatted in front of Josie, and whispered, “I’ve secretly left a clue for


    your brother, Oliver is going for him. He can save you.”


    Josie looked at Zachary in fear, and her innocent–looking eyes were filled with horror.


    She had just returned to the Gibson family, which was a strange existence to her.


    She hid in a dark room and shut herself off for nearly half a year, thinking that the man with a beautiful


    voice wouldn’t.e for her.


    “Listen to me from now on.” Zachary grabbed Josie’s ankles. He pulled her in front of him and rubbed


    her wounds.


    He thought Josie would cry, but she was numb like a delicate doll and refused to wail even when


    terrified.


    Zachary frowned and asked Josie to wail, “Cry if it hurts.”


    However, Josie was still in a daze like a doll.


    Josie had not gotten over her parents‘ car ident. She had almost no emotions except fear, like a


    puppet without a soul.


    “Why wouldn’t she cry?” Zachary pondered.


    Zachary tried to press Josie on the bed, and his hand feached out to lift her clothes.


    Josie just looked at him tremblingly, neither resisting nor crying.


    “Damn! Zachary cursed in frustration. “Shout it out!”


    Josie’s eyes turned red. She felt so aggrieved that the corner of her lips trembled. She dared not shout.


    Zachary was speechless. He threw everything next to the bed on the ground, creating a loud noise.


    The thugs were stillughing outside the door.


    Zachary looked out the window and made a silent gesture toward Josie.


    He lifted Josie and let her climb out the window.


    After they jumped out, Zachary pulled Josie and escaped.


    Ile did not know what came to his mind to have thoughts of running away with Josie.


    12:19 Fri, 10 May Mu


    They were still young at that time and probably at an age where they feared nothing.


    That year, Zachary was 18 years old, and Josie was 15.


    They did not manage to escape in the end. Zachary was beaten half dead, but his eyes were always


    like those of a fierce wolf with an indomitable spirit..


    Josie screamed madly, as she was horrified. It was at that time that her anxiety disorder was the most


    severe.


    Zachary struggled to appease Josie. The disparity from silence to screaming uncontrobly was


    heartbreaking.


    “Does he have a crush on this girl?” the thugs wondered.


    “Damn it! Did I raise you to bring me down?” Oliver kicked Zachary in the stomach.


    “Boss! Two boys in school uniforms rushed in.”


    Oliver and his gang only spared Zachary’s and Josie’s lives after the arrival of Henry and Samuel.


    Josie screamed uncontrobly and curled herself up in the corner.


    Zachary endured the pain and climbed to Josie’s side, draping his clothes with blood over Josie. He


    comforted, “Don’t be afraid. Someone hase for you.”


    “Zachary


    Josie had a bad dream about the kidnapping ten years ago.


    In fact, she hadn’t dreamed of Zachary for many years.


    In the past ten years, she had almost forgotten what Zachary looked like, so much so that it would be


    hard to recognize him even if he was standing right in front of her.


    Josie’s breathing trembled. There was no one at home when she woke up. Zachary was not there, but


    she was covered with at quilt.


    Josie felt a throbbing headache. She checked the time. It was already half–past seven in the morning.


    Josie took a deep breath and fell into deep thought when she looked at the phone.


    There were still plenty of things she needed to do.


    Both Ashley and Spike had not received the punishment they deserved.


    She could not continue to be dispirited and hide anymore.


    As if she had found her courage, Josie left the rental apartment and went to Henry’s residence by bus.


    Upon arrival at Henry’s house, Josie did not say anything. She just went into the kitchen and made


    breakfast.


    The fingerprint lock on the door was still hers, making Josie feel like nothing had changed.


    Yet, everything had changed.


    Henry had been up all night. He sat in the living room, his eyes bloodshot


    When he saw Josie enter the kitchen to cook, his eyes turned even redder.


    12:19 Fr, 10 May u.


    Josie came here after all. It meant that she had made a choice Henry thought


    Henry, I agree to pretend to remarry you, but I have a condition. Josie stood in front of Henry and took
