Chapter 105
Josie seemed a little distracted after the audition.
Sebastian followed Josie from the back hoping that she would buy him coffee.
The outcome of the audition was good. Both Sebastian and Rebecca made it into the next round.
Since fewer people were shortlisted, the difficulty level would definitely be higher.
“All the best, Sebastian! We’re rooting for you!” Although Sebastian’s fans stayed outside the premises,they remained
enthusiastic.
Sebastian was lucky to become a trending star because he had gained a broad fan base before hisofficial debut in the entertainment industry. Josie would make a lot of money.
Josie flashed a smile and asked Sebastian to get in the car first.
“Ashley! Ash!”
Coincidentally, Ashley came out and walked past Josie.
Right then, someone removed the barrier and caused a large number of fans to dash toward Ashley.Everything instantly went out of control.
“Josie!” Sebastian was shocked to the core and quickly got out of the car. By then, Josie had alreadybeen pushed into the
crowd.
Josie!”
Within seconds, Josie and Ashley were shoved to the side of the bridge by the crazy crowd. Amid thechaos, Josie felt that someone was jostling her.
Instinctively, Josie stretched out her arm to grab the hand that pushed her, and both fell into the lake.
“Ash fell into the water!”
“Ash fellnovelbin
“Ash fell into the water!”
“I saw it. It was that woman who dragged Ash into the lake. I bet she did it on purpose!”
“I took a video of it. Yes, I recorded everything! Look, she was the one who pushed Ash!”
Meanwhile, Josie was fully submerged in the water.
Josie felt so cold that her body started shivering uncontrollably.
Josie knew how to swim. However, the weather in Hofcaster had turned so cold, and the drasticchange in temperature caused a cramp in her legs. Thus, she could not swim to the shore at all.
With the salty water entering her nose, Josie felt as if she would die at that critical moment.
“Mr. Gibson! Please save Ashley, Mr. Gibson!” The security guards needed to ensure the safety of thefans as they were blocked outside.
Panic–stricken, Henry ran to the lake at once, only to realize that Josie and Ashley had fallen into thewater.

Chapter 105
“It was that woman who pushed Ashley down, and we took a video of it!” Someone yelled loudly andproceeded to send the video to the fan group.
All of Ashley’s fans immediately protested and rejected the idea of saving Josie,
Anyhow, Henry jumped into the water without hesitation.
Even though Josie was the nearest to him, he swam toward Ashley.
“Jo, you know how to swim. It’s cold here, hurry up and get out of the lake.” Henry turned to look atJosie as he swam to the shore with Ashley in his arms.
At that moment, Josie teared up.
Her legs were cramping, and her body was getting heavier and heavier.
She kept sinking until she was completely submerged. Yet, all Josie took notice of was the dazzlingsunlight sparkling over
the lake.
“Perhaps, it’s good to end my life this way,” she thought to herself.
“Henry! Boohoo… I thought I was going to die.”
As soon as Ashley got to the shore safely, she burst into tears and hugged Henry. “I don’t know whopushed me… Boohoo… Henry, I’m so scared.”
When she saw that Henry intended to save Josie, Ashley quickly held him tightly and refused to let himgo.
Bang!
Just as Henry was about to leap into the lake after pushing Ashley away, a figure had already jumpedinto the water.
“Are you a bunch of trash? What are the security guards doing? Don’t you know how to save people?”bellowed Yuri. He was infuriated. “Investigate this case thoroughly. I want to know who’s responsible forthis negligence.”
Henry was also enraged that no one did anything despite having a big crowd by the lake.
Jol
Josie could hear many people calling her name underwater, but no one came to save her.”
In the most critical moment, Henry made a decision that revealed his heart’s desire.
He had always been on Ashley’s side.
When Josie thought she was about to die, a silhouette blocked the blazing sun’s rays.
She could not see who the person was, but she could vaguely hear his heartbeat as his scentenveloped her.
“Am I hallucinating? But it feels so real,” Josie wondered.
Jo!
Samuel pulled Josie out of the water. In an emergency, he kissed her to perform resuscitation.
“Samuel… Abem… Ahem…”
The uncontrollable coughing fits made Jusic lean against Samuel.

Chapter 105
Josie was trembling terribly due to the cold weather.
Josie looked through the crowd and caught a glance of Henry. Someone draped a bath towel over hisshoulders, and Ashley
was in his arms.
Henry’s hands were numb. Regret instantly washed over him for not saving Josie first..
Too many things went through his mind during that critical moment.
Jo…” Samuel hugged Josie tightly. What happened had made him fearful. Subsequently, Sebastianhanded him a bath towel, and the former wrapped it around Josie. “Everything’s fine now. Don’t beafraid.”
Josie’s body was still shaking and aching badly. “Cold.”
“Hurry up and get into the car. I’ll request the driver to turn on the heater.” Sebastian was so frightenedthat his face turned pale. He turned his head and stared at Henry. “Henry! Ashley fell into the wateralongside Josie. How dare you save Ashley
first
“Jo knows how to swim.‘ Henry wanted to check on Josie, but Sebastian blocked him.
“Take care of Ashley, Henry. You’re not a man at all” Sebastian scoffed before he got into the car.
Henry stood still, and his body stiffened in the cold.
“Mr. Gibson, someone caught on camera that Ms. Yates pushed Ms. Long into the lake.” Thomashurried over anxiously and showed Henry the video.
Henry raised his hand and rubbed his forehead since it was throbbing.
“It’s just a subconscious reflex when someone falls. Clarify the situation with the fans, and don’t allowthem to spout nonsense.” Afterward, Henry glanced at Ashley. “Take Ashley back now.
Ashley muttered in tears, ‘Henry, I don’t blame Josie.”
–
“She didn’t do it on purpose. It’s an involuntary response when a person falls, Henry explained onJosie’s behalf.
“I know. Therefore, I don’t blame her.” Ashley turned around and nodded politely to all her fans. “Don’tworry about me, everyone. It’s an accident. Josie didn’t mean to push me into the lake, so please don’tsay that about her.”
Sebastian could no longer tolerate it. He got out of the car and strode toward the fans.
“What gives? Ask her to apologize now,”
“She owes Ashley an apology!”
The crowd went into a frenzy after someone started making demands about Josie’s actions.
Meanwhile, in the car, Samuel covered Josie’s cars with his hands.
Samuel regretted letting Josie be his agent,
Though the heater was turned on, Josie still felt very cold.
She could not help but lean toward Samuel. Then, she said in a hoarse voice, “It wasn’t me. I didn’tpush her. In fact, she pushed me into the lake.”
Shortly after, Josie choked up. The mishap had impacted her greatly.

Chapter 105
She was too afraid that she would die in that manner.
“Trust me…” Josie gripped Samuel’s shirt, worried that he did not believe her.
Ashley’s men obviously came prepared for the circumstance. They even had a video recording ready.
Josie was terrified that Samuel would not believe her. Just like Henry.
“I trust you regardless of what you say. That woman is very cunning. I bet she must have done it onpurpose. Samuel doted and comforted Josie while he kept her tucked in his embrace. ‘I’ll get someoneto investigate further. It’s impossible that the barrier that barricaded the fans could be easily removed.”
Moreover, the security guards present were all competent men from Clusia Media Group.
Suddenly, Josie tensed up and lost control of her emotions.
She hid in Samuel’s arms and cried like a child.
At that moment, she completely released herself, along with all her grievances and pretenses.
Samuel tightened his arms around Josie as his breathing became heavier. I’m here for you.
Sebastian watched on quietly. When he saw Josie weeping, he could not bear it any longer anddecided to get out of the car.
Then, Sebastian approached Ashley and sneered, “You captured a video showing someone pulling youinto the lake? Are you sure it’s a complete video? I have the full version here. Take a look. Someonepushed Josie first. Consequently, she reached out and grabbed that hand in a panic.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sebastian played a random video from his phone. Actually, he did notmanage to capture anything because it was too chaotic.
However, he believed every single word Josie said.
“What are you talking about?” As expseected, Ashley got so worked up, she attempted to snatchSebastian’s phone frantically.
“Why are you so scared?” Sebastian smirked as he lifted his phone above his head.
In an instant, Ashley’s face turned pale.
Henry started to calm down and his gaze fell upon Ashley.
