Chapter 143


    Samuel and Yu are good friends Maybe I can ask for Samuel’s help on this! No. I shouldn’t. I’ve


    decided not to bother Samuel anymore, thought Josie


    “Mr. Comerstone, can’t you do me a favor? Hazel looked at Alex Cornerstone, the director of “A Pond


    of Reeds, with a smile on her face.


    Tm afraid I cant help you with this. All I can say for now is that they will only choose either one of


    Ashley or Reba‘ Alex had informed them what he could.


    The directing team was not a fool. Yuri chose Reba to be in this movie, and Henry and Hazel both


    highly rmended


    Ashley.


    In their opinion, the winner would be the one who was supported by the capitalist.


    “Mr. Comerstone. Ashley is dered by Mr. Gibson as his fiancee. Mr. Gibson cares about her a lot,


    someone reminded him


    Josie’s face darkened upon hearing this. “Are you trying to say that the final decision is in the hands of


    the Clusia Media Group’s CEO


    It seemed that she had to have a chat with her boss.


    Reba went all out to get a role in this movie. If Ashley won this time. it would be a demonstration


    that money could buy everything.


    Josie, do you think the CEO of Clusia Media Group will offend Gibson Corporation for Reba’s sake!”


    Ashley smiled disdainfully. For her, she didn’t have to worry about it at all. She would be the female


    lead of “A Pond of Reeds” in the end.


    “Ashley is not the best candidate in terms of acting skills and the degree of conformance to the


    character. I believe Mr. Cornerstone is a professional director, and A Pond of Reeds is not a yground


    for the capitalist Josie pulled the director into the spotlight


    Alex was in a dilemma. Although Josie was a neer, his superior had personally informed him to


    be nice to her.


    Honestly, he didn’t know who Josie really was


    Im sorry. We have to listen to the CEO’s advice in the end. His decision is the ultimate say Alex sighed.


    “I can’t afford to mess with any party under such a situation, thought Alex.


    Jo, one can have excellent acting skills through training. I’ve seen Reba’s acting skills, and she


    doesnt look natural when she acts. Although she is hard–working, she’s not talented enough. Ashley,


    on the other hand, is a talented actor. She will have a bright future. Choosing her will be a win–win


    situation for her and Clusia Media Group, said Hazel with a smile. She was trying to persuade Josie to


    give up.


    “I’m not sure what unique insights Ms. Locke has in talented actors. In my opinion, Reba has not


    only physical advantages but also talents. She is an extremely hardworking actor. She is not a celebrity


    or an actress with great publicity. but she loves this career and is willing to work hard.”


    Josie’s v


    s voice was extremely calm: She didn’t leave any room for objection.


    Josie then turned to Alex and took out her phone. “Mr. Cornerstone, this is a video I took of Reba,


    Reba’s feet were cut by the stones in the paddy field when she was nting the rice. She then


    bandaged it and continued to work. She is already professional, even though we are currently going


    through the selection process. Hence, I believe Reba will do her best during the shooting”


    Josie then continued, “As for Ashley, Ms. Long, she covered herself with sun–protective gear and even


    regrly applied sunscreen. It’s understandable since she is a celebrity with excessive publicity. She


    needs to protect her wless skin, after all, However, have you ever seen her in the paddy field without


    any shoes?”


    Josieid out her views in an indifferent tone.


    “Josie! I wasn’t feeling well those days. Ashley tried to talk her way out.


    “Will you use the same excuse again during the shooting?” Josie shot back at


    Josie!”


    shley without mercy.


    Seeing that Ashley was going to quarrel with Josie, Alex hurriedly smoothed things over. “The CEO has


    the


    the right to the final selection of the actress for that character. We will definitely give you all a


    satisfactory answer. Don’t worry; we will not give up any hardworking actors,”


    “Mr. Cornerstone, Mr. Gibson is here!” Alex’s assistant ran in.


    Josie and Hazel were surprised by it but said nothing.


    Ashley, on the other hand, stood up excitedly, thinking that Henry hade to visit her.


    Alex’s expression fell, as it would be harder to send Henry away if he couldn’t give thetter a


    satisfactory answer.


    “Mr. Cornerstone, why don’t we choose Ashley for Henry’s sake? Reba doesn’t have any support


    from the capitalist. Besides, Josie is a neer.”


    Alex had once again been put in a difficult position. He didn’t know who to choose.


    “Mr. Cornerstone, Henry is here. You promised to tell us the casting results today, so please don’t go


    back on your own words. Ashley became daring now that she had her supporter with her.


    “What a surprise, Mr. Gibson. What brings you to Frontier Bay? I heard that you got injured, so it’s a


    surprise that you woulde here personally!” Alex and his assistant greeted Henry. Their sweary


    palms were due to nervousness.


    In Alex’s view, Henry showed his care toward Ashley by being here. He didn’t know what he should do


    if Henry pushed for


    an answer.


    After walking into the room, Henry didn’t even look at those people. Instead, he looked at Josie with a


    complicated gaze. Josie was stunned for a moment, as she didn’t know why Henry would look at her in


    such a manner.


    “Henry.” Ashley approached him nervously. She tried to hold Henry’s arm, but she failed.


    “Come home with me.” At that moment, in Henry’s view, he was alone with Josie in that room. He


    walked toward her, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly. His voice was choked with sobs when


    he spoke.


    Josie was caught off guard by Henry’s action, “What is he doing?” she wondered.


    Everyone else was shocked by such a scene. They never expected to see anything going on between


    Henry and Josie.


    After all, she was a neer.


    “What kind of rtionship do they share?” they wondered.


    “Mr. Gibson, may I know your rtionship with Ms. Yates?” asked Alex after mustering his bravery.


    “My wife. Henry held Josie’s wrist, His fingers were wrapped around her wrist tightly. “If there’s nothing


    urgent going on. I


    would like to take her with me?


    Alex and his assistant hadn’t regained their senses due to the shock they had experienced. “His wife?”


    they thought.


    “Did we hear it wrongly?” they questioned in their hearts.


    Their minds were still elsewhere when Henry left with Josie.


    “I guess I heard it wrongly,” they thought.


    Ashley’s eyes turned red with anger. Henry didn’t look at her once during the entire time.


    Hazel, on the other hand, had been watching them from the side the entire time. Her eyes showed that


    she was in deep thought.


    After getting into the car, Henry held Josie in his arms and refused to let


    1. go.


    Josie struggled hard to break loose. “What’s the matter with him?” she thought.


    “What are you doing?” Josie frowned.


    “Arthur..” Henry choked.


    Josie stiffened, and her fingers started to tremble. “Arthur… What happened to him?”


    Jo… I have no family left.” Henry’s voice was trembling,


    Josie panicked after hearing that. She could no longer utter a word.


    “Y–You can’t leave me… Henry tightened his grip around Josie, and his tears wetted her hair.


    Josie sat quietly, as her mind was nk at that moment.

    “Something must have happened to Arthur, she thought


    After all, Arthur was in good shape when she and Henry met him the day before.


    Henry even showed Arthur their marriage certificate to/cheer him up.


    A day had only passed, and Arthur was gone forever.


    His sudden death caught everyone by surprise.


    Starting from fifteen years old, Josie slowly lost her family. First were her parents, then her grandpa.


    After that, she lost her


    husband and child.


    Now, Arthur, who cared for her, left her too.


    It seemed that everyone had gone to heaven and waved to her there.


    Humans became more and more lonely as they grew older..


    Josie couldn’t help but wonder how long she would live.


    She honestly didn’t have an answer t to that.


    Josie’s mind went nk. She didn’t know what she was feeling at this moment.


    12-23 Fri, TU May I


    Henry, too, was silent, but he didn’t let go of Josie’s hand.


    Josie had acute promyelocytic leukemia M3, but she never told anyone about it.


    When Henry heard of this, fear started to swallow him.

    He never thought that one day he would have to choose between letting Josie go and letting her die.


    Honestly, he would let her go if she could live her life healthily and happily.


    Henry didn’t want Josie to die.


    Even though letting Josie go was hard, he could still findfort in knowing she was alive and living


    healthily.
