Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 38

Henry was stunned for a long time.

“Dahon Corporation is going to fire you?” He had never instructed the company to do that.

“Do you find this fun, Mr. Gibson?” Josie said sarcastically. She asked, “Who else can threaten Dahon Corporation’s senior management to fire me?”

Josie! Is that what you think of me?” Henry stepped on the brake, turned the caf around, and headed to Dahon Corporation.

“And what exactly is that?” Josie’s throat was burning,

In the past, she had never argued back with Henry. But now, her words were tinged with thorns.

“Stay away from Samuel from now on!” Henry gritted his teeth. He felt that Josie had been destroyed by these people.

Josie used to be obedient and well–behaved, but now she was always arguing!

“Henry, it’s my freedom to be with anyone I want.” Josie hung up the phone.

Looking at the disconnected call, Henry became angrier and angrier.

Josie had hung up on him.

In the past, Josie wouldn’t speak much and even politely talked when she called him. But now, she just hung up on him. It seemed she had gotten bolder.

A little angry, Henry called his assistant. “Mackenzie, ask Dahon Corporation why they want to fire Josie.”

He had never been in contact with Dahon Corporation’s senior management, let alone given the order to fire Josie.

“Ms. Yates, I’m sorry… The receptionist at Dahon Corporation didn’t allow Josie to enter the company.

“Jo” Lydia came over and asked Josie to sit with her. “Come with me.”

Josie’s face was pale, and she spoke in a hoarse voice. “Lydia, the company has no right to fire me on a whim. Give me at reasonable explanation. Otherwise, I will sue the company.”

Jo, you’ve been in Dahon Corporation for so many years. Let’s treat this with respect. The executives didn’t want to do this, but it’s the law of the jungle. We have no choice. Lydia wanted Josie to calm down.

“Treat this with respect? They are the ones who fired me.” Josie sat on the couch, her attitude clear.

Josic, I can understand you, too. You offended the future Mrs. Gibson. I’m guessing that no company in Hofcaster dares to hire you now.” Lydia sighed before continuing, “How about this? I’ll talk to the management again about your compensation.

Is that…”

“The future Mrs. Gibson?” Josie frowned.

“That day, I heard the leader on a phone call. The company had invited Ashley to endorse our newly developed product. When did you offend her?” Lydia said while looking around, unsure how Josie could mess with Ashley.

Josie took a deep breath. “It’s Ashley again,” she thought.

“Jo, you are too introverted and obedient, so it’s easy for you to get the short end of the stick. You should be more careful in the future,” Lydia sighed. She added, “I’ve been negotiating with the leader about you…”

Without saying anything, Josie got up and left.

She would look like a clown if she stayed.

Her eyes had turned red as hopelessness threatened to overwhelm her.

She needed money to see a doctor, but Henry did such a cruel thing to her for Ashley. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Josiel

Downstairs, when Josie walked out of the elevator, she saw Henry standing at the entrance.

“Mr. Gibson?” Lydia covered her mouth in astonishment. She couldn’t believe Henry would come to the company in person. “Mr. Gibson, are you here to visit….

Henry was a little impatient and walked straight to Josie. “When did I tell Dahon Corporation to fire you?”

“Isn’t it because I offended the future Mrs. Gibson?” Josie glanced at Lydia, who was still in shock.

“Ah, Mr. Gibson. This. Lydia’s voice was trembling.

She couldn’t figure out what was going on. “Do you know Josie?”

Henry frowned and remained silent.

Josie knew Henry regretted being too impulsive and speaking to her in public.

“Mr. Gibson!” Perhaps hearing the news from the receptionist, Dahon Corporation’s chairman had rushed downstairs at the speed of light. The chairman greeted, “Oh, what brings you here, Mr. Gibson? It’s a great honor.”

Dahon Corporation relied on Gibson Corporation to survive. Josie was unfazed by his reaction.

Josie is my sister, and she works in your company. I heard you are going to fire her, Henry said coldly.

“Huh? Your sister… The chairman was scared out of his wits. He mumbled. “But your wife, Ms. Ashley Long, said that you… It seems that there is a misunderstanding.”

The chairman quickly changed the topic. “It seems that one of the subordinates had mistakenly conveyed that there was a conflict between Josie and Ms. Ashley Long. We are doing this for mutual cooperation. All of this is due to at misunderstanding

After that, he turned to Lydia and yelled, “What are you waiting for? Reinstate Josie immediately. Give her a promotion and

a raise!”

Lydia nodded, a little confused.

“Since when was Josie Henry’s sister? I’ve worked with her for three years, but I never knew this. It looks like she buried this secret pretty deep,” Lydia thought.

“There’s no need…” Josie said in a hoarse voice and left right away.

Henry said she was his sister, but he silently admitted that Ashley was his wife.

“Josie!” Henry chased after her but got a call from his assistant.

His assistant explained, “Mr. Gibson, Ms. Ashley Long is the ambassador for Dahon Corporation’s products… Her manager probably knew that she and Ms. Josie Yates would have a conflict, so he intentionally mentioned it to Dahon Corporation’s people to prevent them from meeting each other so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts. Therefore…

Henry cursed, feeling frustrated. “What a good–for–nothing!” he thought.

Jo! Let me explain!” Henry called for Josie..

13:04 Wed, 8 May

However, Josie didn’t want to hear it.

Jo, this was an oversight on my part, Ashley’s manager was kind by wanting to prevent a conflict between you two at work. It was Dahon Corporation’s fault for misunderstanding

This was Henry’s fault, which was why he wanted to explain this to Josie.

“Kind?” Josie chuckled weakly. She said, “It’s just a misunderstanding to you, but it’s a loss of work and income for me! Henry… You’re really heartless”

Jo. I apologize on Ashley’s behalf. Henry grabbed Josie’s wrist.

“Since you lost your job and know it’s tough out there, you should come back to me!” he thought

“You know it’s not easy to live away from home. You should have been obedient,” said Henry.

Josie stood quietly and no longer had the strength to argue with Henry.

“He apologized on Ashley’s behalf… she remarked inwardly.

Those were some cruel words.

It was like pushing her out of the door and telling her that Henry and Ashley were a family.

She was just an outsider.

“Come home with me. Seeing that Josie kept silent, Henry pretended she had heard it and pulled her along.

Today, it was customary for them to go back to the Gibson residence and spend the night.

In the past, Josie and Henry would go back on John’s birthday every year, but later on, his death anniversary was the only thing they needed to complete together.

“Henry, take the subway with me. Let’s squeeze onto a bus… Josie said helplessly and went straight to the subway station by the road.

Henry frowned. He felt that Josie was being unreasonable, but he still followed

The subway station was very crowded, as it was rush hour after work.

Josie skillfully bought tickets and entered the station’s entrance, waiting in the position she chose.

Henry followed behind Josie with a frown. Everything was so strange to him.

Ever since he was adopted by the Gibson family at the age of eight, he had never taken a subway or bus.

Henry was lucky to have met John.

Behind them, a group of people was waiting for the subway. It was very crowded.

Henry pulled Josie into his arms with a dark expression, fearing those people would bump into her.

He couldn’t understand why Josie asked him to take the subway. Was she trying to humiliate him or embarrass him?

Or, was she reminding him that without John, he was no different from these ordinary commuters who had to take crowded buses every day?

Josie remained silent the entire way, but as soon as they got off the subway, Henry couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Satisfied?” Henry asked coldly. “Josie… Do you really see me as that kind of person? Do you think I’m who I am today only because of the Gibson family?*

13:04 Wed, 8 May

Josie stood at the entrance of the subway, her hands and feet feeling numb. It was not until this moment that she really understood that she and Henry were from totally different worlds.

“Henry!” Ashley was already

iting at the entrance of the Gibson residence.

Joste stopped in her tracks and clenched her fingers tightly. “Why is she here?”
