Chapter 32 Josie felt as though she was struck by lightning. After a long moment, she finally moved gingerly.
It was sheer coincidence that she met Henry in here.
"Mr. Gibson, what a coincidence!” Ezra felt a little awkward about changing the subject. “Surely you jest. Jo isn't that sort of person." "Yes, what a coincidence." Henry snorted and focused his gaze on Josie. "Do you think you know her very well? How can you be sure that she's not that kind of person?" Henry was provoking Ezra on purpose.
"Ezra, let's go somewhere else.” Josie's face paled, but she forced herself to smile as she tried to escape. Ezra looked at them and felt troubled. "If Jo was really married, he must have been a bad person to make her want to divorce him." Josie was not the type of person who would marry whimsically.
When Ezra was in college, he had chased after Josie for a long time, only for Josie to say a single word to him. Smiling, Josie glanced at Ezra gratefully. "Let's go." Ezra nodded and looked at Henry apologetically. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gibson. Jo and I will be leaving now." Henry stood there, the veins in his hands bulging.
The air pressure turned low and terrifying "What did he mean by a bad person!" he wondered.
"Mr. Gibson, they have arrived. Shall we go up first?" Henry's assistant, who clooking for him, was startled by the pressure he exuded.
"Tell them I can't cbecause there's something I need to take care of.” Henry turned around and walked out of the restaurant, feeling irritated.
Shocked, the assistant thought, "But you're already here...
However, she dared not question Henry.
"I need you to investigate someone. Henry suddenly halted after taking a few steps. "Ezra Hunter, a business administration graduate of the class of 2015 of Acocester University in Hofcaster.
Henry remembered that man. In fact, he remembered all the men who loitered around Josie Clenching his fingers again, Henry had no idea why he was so out of control. His words only served to push Josie further and further away from him.
When he saw Josie with another man, he was unable to rein in his emotions.

"It's been years since we graduated." Chapter 32 Josie nodded in agreement. "Yeah." I heard that the 15th and 16th graduating classes are going to hold a reunion. Are you going?" Ezra fumbled for a conversation topic.
"I'm not sure." Josie did riot wish to participate in such activities.
That's right. Everyone is busy now, but the class reunion is also a social network, so we should attend. Ezra bought Josie sroasted chestnuts. He remembered that Josie loved it.
Josie took the offered snack and stopped walking.
"Even a former schoolmate who hadn't seenin three years remembered what I liked to eat, she thought.
Jo. is Henry really not your brother?" Ezra was a little confused. "Why would he say that Josie cheated on him in marriage?" he wondered.
Yeah. I don't know him very well." Josie nodded.
Although she had been with Henry for so many years, they only grew more estranged as tpassed.
What was more, she had signed a confidentiality agreement not to divulge the information to outsiders. Only "That's strange. I recall back then..." Ezra wanted to say something but stopped. "Forget it, let's not talk about him. It's right that you got out of a marriage that wasn't working out for you. There's nothing wrong with doing so. Don't feel too bad about it." Although Ezra did not know what was going on, he still made an attempt to comfort Josie.
Josie's eyes reddened at having an unfamiliar person trying to comfort her. Thank you, Ezra." "It's the least I could do as a friend," said Ezra. It'd be better if they could be closer.
"It's so nice of you, anyway." Josie smiled at Ezra.
Thankfully, Ezra had helped her out today. Otherwise, Josie had no idea how she would have dealt with Henry.
Josie slowly loosened her fingers that she had not realized were clenched.
She had attempted to disguise her emotions, but the coldness had managed to spread out.
'Cheated on him... Did Henry really think I cheated on him during our marriage?" she wondered.
Ding! Suddenly, Josie's phone vibrated as she received a text message.
Josie took a look and found it was from Charles.
Charles had called her several times, but Josie had not answered his calls. Thus, he decided to text her instead. [Jo, this is urgent. Please reply when you see this. It has something to do with your parents' car accident.] Josie lost her grip on the bag of roasted chestnuts. The bag of chestnuts fell to the ground, rolling everywhere. Josie stopped breathing and looked up at Ezra with a pale face. "I'm sorry. Something cup at home. I'll treat you sother day.
Before Ezra could offer to send Josie off, the latter had already turned around and bolted.
Meanwhile, at Gibson Corporation, Charles' assistant reminded him in a low voice, "Mr. Larson, your phone is ringing.
