Chapter 123

Chapter 123

"I'll stay with him. Ashley is too close with Hazel, I don't trust her, Josie said as she glanced at Samuel. "You" the latter was

taken back..

"I'll have to stay, too. My good friend here is blind. Who knows if he would be poisoned to death... Samuel said sarcastically, implying that Ashley would feed him poison.

Angered. Henry gritted his teeth and covered his forehead with his hand. "The way you keep getting on my nerves, me dying because of you is more likely to be the case, I'm afraid." Owing to Samuel and his comical behavior, Josie who was initially in a bad mood and her head was a mess, broke into laughter.

It felt like Samuel's presence gave her a sense of security.

Henry!

As soon as the two decided on what to eat, they heard the noises of Ashley wailing.

"Henry, I just heard about it from the crew. How did this happen?" Ashley was so frightened that her face turned pale. "Henry, why didn't you tell me when you came to see the crew? L "He wasn't even there to look for you. Why would he tell you?" Samuel said while he peeled apples by the bed.

Needless to say, the apple was not for Henry but for Josie.

Josie turned á blind eye to Ashley and ate the apple quietly.

Ashley was a little embarrassed by Samuel's retort. She had to act pitifully in front of Henry. "Henry......

I'm fine. Don't worry," Henry said coldly.

Ashley's breath tightened. Henry's attitude towards her was noticeably different from before.

Panicked, Ashley felt a little numb on her fingers.

"Does the sense of guilt exhaust and disappear like what Thomas said?" she wondered.

She had been kind to Henry. Ashley thought Henry would be nice to her in return, but how long was that to last?

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Hazel had arrived to see Henry.

Henry frowned and his face darkened in an instant.

"Why didn't you say anything when you were discharged?" Hazel walked to the side of the bed and continued, "Is your wound infected again?" Henry remained silents

"You did not even say a word when you came to the crew. Ashley was scared to tears. This kid cares about you a lot, you m cherish her, Hazel spoke again.

Jo, thank you for taking care of him. Ashley will take over from here; Hazel smiled as she spoke to Josie, attempting to tell her off

Jo, helpine get a glass of water, Henry spoke up with a low valce. "It's inappropriate for Ashley to take care of ma

have to worry about things here. An A-list actress should not be seen here. Go back and have a rest."

Hazel was not angry. She only nodded at Henry. "Why is it inappropriate for Ashley to take care of you? Sooner or later, the two will become family. Didn't the two of you decide to engage?" Hazel continued. Hearing that, Josie made a loud thud when she placed a glass of water on the table by the bed. "Drink water!"

Henry was startled and quickly turned to look at Josie.

None of them expected someone like Josie to have a temper.

Henry retorted, 'Is public opinion credible? Doesn't the news sound implausible when it reported on how Ms. Locket devoted so much of herself to her art career that she wouldn't get married or have children? Henry looked at Hazel ironically. He knew that Hazel was threatening him to marry Ashley.

After Quinton was kidnapped, Hazel talked to Henry on the phone. She asked him to hand Josie over to Quinton and demanded Henry give Spike a final answer as to who he was to marry, even if he was to be engaged to Ashley first.

"Henry, you are always a sensible one." Hazel narrowed her eyes.

"Henry... Let me stay and take care of you." Ashley pleaded, her eyes turning red.

"No, we'll be worried if you stay, Samuel said as he sat on the sofa leisurely. Ashley burst into tears.

"Henry...

"You young ones should talk it out among yourselves. I'm leaving now," Hazel said and was ready to leave. On her way out, she turned around and seemed to remember something. "By the way, Quinton is also here. He said he would come to see you later"

Henry clenched his fingers and took a deep breath.

Hazel's words were always full of warnings.

"How did Quinton know which room Josie was using in the hotel?" Henry asked someone to check the hotel, and the customer service staff said that no one had handed over the spare key card to Quinton. Hazel and Ashley's bodies stiffened at the same time.

The police have investigated the reception desk of the hotel, and someone had indeed asked to issue the spare key card for Room 8203. It was someone from the crew, From the surveillance video, the person who issued the card said that someone asked for the spare key card for Room 8203. It was Ms. Locke's agent, Henry divulged.

Henry could not be bothered to save Hazel's face.

At that moment, Ashley's nerves were calmed down upon hearing Henry's explanation. A sense of relief washed over her.

In truth, the key card was actually taken away by Ashley.

The result of Henry's investigation turned out to reveal Henry's agent asking for the issuance of the key card to Josie's room. Apparently. Hazel's people also went to ask for a key card.

"What do you mean... Why did Ms. Locke want the spare key card to my room?" Josie frowned as she asked.

Hazel and Spike were in the same boat. Naturally, they were with Quinton.

Chapter 123

"This is a misunderstanding. Hazel argued. She was indeed a good actress because no one could tell she was acting when she smiled calmly. "I was in Room 5230. It was inconvenient for Cecilia to get in and out of my room, so she asked for a spare key card. However, Cecilia said the wrong room number when she asked for the key card and found it unable to open my room's door. She returned it very soon. So, have I done anything wrong?"

"The key card that should have been returned went to Quinton, didn't it?" Henry asked. The thought of it sent chills down his spine.

If he had not happened to leave to look for Josie, Quinton could have opened the door of Josie's room.

That was Henry's bottom line which they had crossed.

Quinton could do however he wished, but he should never touch Josie.

On the sofa, Samuel stood up all of a sudden. He frowned at Hazel, and then looked at Josie. "Why didn't you tell me? "What's going on?"

Josie shook his head at Samuel and thought he would explain when they left.

"Now, I wasn't so sure about that. It should be a misunderstanding. How could Quinton have Josie's key card in his hand? I'm afraid some staff at the hotel must have made a mistake, Hazel said while she leaned against the door.

"As expected, it is no wonder you are an A-list actress, Henry secretly sneered and refused to give Hazel any respect.

"Henry, are you questioning me?" Hazel's words sounded threatening.

"As I said. Josie is my bottom line, Henry warned Hazel in front of everyone, having no consideration for her feelings. "Go back and tell Quinton I won't let him go if he does it again."

"What do you

say to me?"

Outside the door, Quinton walked in with a smile, holding a bunch of flowers in his hand. They were white lilies.

Those were words only those who smelled their death would say.

Quinton only came to irritate Henry.

"You are not welcome here. Get out with your flowers!" Henry said in a deep voice.

"Henry, Quinton had just come back from abroad. Don't be so fierce at your brother. Everyone in the Taibbi family knows about his feelings for Josie. He even has their support. You agreed to introduce Josie to Quinton and let them get married. Why are you starting a fight with him now?"

Hazel smiled and spoke again, "You're an adult now. Do not go overboard and think carefully about what and what not to say. Otherwise, you will lose everything."

"Everything in the Gibson family belongs to Henry. It was niy grandfather's decision. It has nothing to do with who I marry. Does Quinton think that if he marries me, he will inherit the property of the Gibson family, that he could take everything from Henry?" Josie questioned. The next second, she picked up the flowers Quinton bought and threw them in Quinton's face. In your dreams!"
