Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 36 "This is my first tseeing a vixen as shameless as you!" Madelyn spat through gritted teeth. She was not planning to show Ashley any respect. "Get out of here. You're a celebrity, and I'm just an ordinary person. Don't forceto turn you into tomorrow's headlinel" Ashley frowned. She was indeed afraid of aggressive people like Madelyn. "I cto visit you because I was worried about you, Josie How can your friend do this to me?" Josie was not in the mood to deal with Ashley. It was not that she could not win against her, but she was merely lazy to do so.

It was meaningless.

She had decided to divorce Henry and had no intention of remarrying him. Thus, it was meaningless to argue with Ashley.

No matter what Josie did, she would end up losing.

Ashley also knew that Josie would definitely lose. That was why she kept provoking her with the attitude of a winner.

However, there were limits to people's patience. “My advice for you is to be smart, Ashley. Let's mind our own business and live harmoniously. But if you mess with me, I believe you won't be able to live comfortably," Josie said.

Ashley squinted. "Look at her, lying on the hospital bed, yet she's still pretending to be holier-than-thou," she scoffed internally before saying, "You've misunderstood me, Josie.” "Get out!" Josie yelled through furrowed brows.

"Recently, reputation has been relatively important to those in the entertainment industry. You're a public figure. Do you think you'll still be able to survive in the industry if the news about you being a mistress gets proven and released?" Madelyn asked as she guarded Josie's bedside. If Ashley dared to get closer, Madelyn would not hesitate to be violent.

Madelyn had nothing to lose anyway.

"But Josie and Henry have signed a confidentiality agreement. My future doesn't matter, but what about Josie's?" Ashley asked with a sneer.

Josie clenched her fists until her knuckles started making cracking noises. Even the act of swallowing becdifficult for her after hearing Ashley's words.

"Henry sure has no secrets against Ashley. He even told her about the confidentiality agreement," Josie thought bitterly as her fingers trembled, trying her best to hold herself back.

She did not want to get out of control anymore, as it would only turn her into the laughing stock.

"Aren't you ashamed?" Madelyn snapped. The fire to her anger was instantly lit as soon as she heard about the confidentiality agreement. She turned to Josie and asked, "What did that bastard Henry ask you to sign?" Josie's eyes reddened at the question, yet she remained silent.

Madelyn could not help but give Ashley a loud, crisp slap. The situation instantly becchaotic. "Get out! You're not welchere!" Meanwhile, Henry coincidentally cinto the ward. "Ashley!" he cried out. As if it was a reflex, he instantly pulled Ashley behind him upon seeing Madelyn slap her.

Madelyn, on the other hand, was pushed away by Henry and fell to the ground.

"Henry, you bastard! What agreement did you trick Jo into signing?" Madelyn asked, feeling a sense of unjust on behalf of Josie.

"What's wrong with you?" Henry yelled. He disliked Madelyn's personality and had always felt that she was uneducated.

13:01 Wed, 8 May Chapter 36 Henry was never one to interfere in Josie's social circle. However, in the past, he had told Josie more than once that birds of a feather flock together. With Madelyn's personality, he felt she was not suitable to be befriended as she would be a bad influence on Josie.

Until now, Henry still had the notion that their divorce was all due to Madelyn's influence.

"You're crossing the line, Henry. Who let her cin?" Samuel asked. He also ran into the ward. His expression darkened upon seeing Madelyn on the floor.

"Get out!" Josie shouted. She picked up everything in her reach and threw them at Henry and Ashley. "Get out!" she repeated.

The only reason Josie went out of control was that she could not stand too much stimulation.

Henry, however, was like her pathogen, which made her unable to calm down.

Henry subconsciously stood in front of Ashley and did not dodge. His forehead was hit by the glass, which eventually becred and swollen.

"Henry!" Ashley cried out, hugging Henry in panic as her eyes reddened. "It's all my fault, Josie. Please stop being angry." Henry suppressed his anger and glanced at Ashley. “Didn't I ask you to wait forin the car?" Ashley shook her head with red eyes. "I was just worried about Josie. I wanted to give her an explanation." "Henry," Josie started. In the end, she could not take it anymore. Josie used to love Henry. That was why he seemed to be perfect in her eyes.

But now, she suddenly felt that Henry's every action made her sick to the stomach.

Josie pulled out the peripheral venous catheter, which caused blood to continuously gush out of her open wound.

Josie then got out of bed. At that moment, the room fell into a terrifying silence.

arms "Jo!" Samuel hurriedly pressed a cotton ball onto Josie's wound. He held her in his and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be angry. Take a deep breath." Josie raised her hand and slapped Henry in the face. "I've been with you for three years. Even if you don't love me, you don't have the right to hurt me." Henry only looked at Josie quietly. At that moment, he felt panicked.

Josie's eyes were too rational.

Another slap was sent Henry's way. "The confidentiality agreement is not only used to bindbut to bind both parties," Josie said.

"Josie." Henry frowned as he tried to find the right words to say.

Yet before Henry could even do so, another slap was sent his way.

The air in the ward seemed to have stiffened.

Even Samuel was dumbfounded.

The Ashley also looked at Josie in shock, Josie slapped Henry three times, yet he did not stop her.

"Josie, if you want to slap someone, you should..." Ashley wanted to tell Josie to slap her instead. However, before she could even finish her sentence, Josie had already raised Chapter 36 6 May her hand and slapped Ashley.

At that moment, even Madelyn was stunned.

But in addition to being stunned, Madelyn mostly felt sorry for Josie.

With Josie's temperament, she had to be pushed to the brink before she could do something as outrageous as slapping someone.

"This slap is in replacement for both of your apologies to my friend," Josie said.

Josie could tolerate whatever Henry did to her. However, she would not sit tight and allow him to do anything to Madelyn.

Henry clenched his teeth as his anger intensified. "Have you gone out of your mind?" "I can't believe Madelyn is more important than I am," he thought angrily.

"Josie can't take too much stimulation. How could you let this woman provoke her? Who's the one to blame? Samuel snapped as he kept Josie in a tight embrace. He knew Josie had used up all her strength as she was still trembling. Ashley tried to explain herself. "Henry, I didn't mean to..." "Get out," Henry interrupted, asking Ashley to leave first. "Henry..." Ashley sounded as if she was on the verge of crying.

Yet, Henry's gaze was trained on Josie. He stared at her pale face and how she snuggled up in Samuel's arms. He stared at her eyes full of despair, which no longer had any attachment or love for him.

Henry felt as if his heart was torn apart by something. He felt pained. But he could not find the reason for it.

Henry could not help but raise his voice. "I told you to go out first!" Ashley trembled with fear. That was the second tHenry yelled at her.

Last time, it was because of the emerald jewelry.

"Make him leave, Samuel," Josie said as she leaned into Samuel's embrace, weakly grabbing onto his clothes as she tried not to fall to the ground.

"I had loved Henry for ten years and was married to him for three. Yet, never once did he pullbehind him and protectas he did for Ashley today," Josie thought bitterly.

Samuel's hand on Josie tightened as he gave Henry a cold glare. "You're not welchere Mr.Gibson. Why don't you take the hint? What? Are you expecting us to treat you to a meal?" Henry swallowed hard, iciness apparent on his chiseled face.

"I'll visit you again when you've calmed down, Josie," Henry said.

Henry had never been in such a mess. Not only was his forehead red and swollen, but Josie slapped him three times on the cheek.

Henry then tugged his tie and left the hospital with a cold aura.

"Good one, Josie. Firstly, it was being entangled with Charles in the hotel. Now, it's having Samuel to protect you in the hospital. In the end, I was the fool!" Henry fumed internally.

This stupid woman really thought Samuel and Charles were good a fooly people! Such a fool should keep her withinstead of letting hungry wolves surround her. No one can have the idea of stealing her away then," Henry thought. "I wouldn't have 13:01 Wed, 8 May MU Chapter 36 cared if she was dead or alive if it weren't for the sake of Grandpa John." Clenching his fingers, Henry finally found an excuse for himself.

It was not that he could not let Josie go. He was merely repaying John for his kindness.

With that as an excuse, he planned to bring Josie back to him.
