Zachary glanced at the phone and the key before throwing the latter back to Henry.
??? ? ?
He would not trust Henry that easily.
“Help me get close to Spike and get the evidence I want. I’ll help you pay off your debts and ensure youlive a stable life in____ the future. You don’t have to live the rest of your life in hiding. What do youthink?” Henry’s words sounded very tempting.
Unfortunately, Zachary would never be able to live a stable life.
A sarcastic laugh escaped Zachary’s lips as he shoved the phone into his pocket. “Don’t come to meagain. I’ll contact you if anything happens.”
In the mansion, Henry did not return that day, so Josie had been hiding in a corner alone and spent theentire night sitting there.
She could not fall asleep.
It was not until around four o’clock in the morning that Josie finally dozed off.
By the time Henry came home, the sky was already bright
He stood outside and waited until it was bright, for he wanted Josie to sleep a little longer.
Opening the door, Henry quietly looked into Josie’s room.
Her door was ajar, but she was not lying on the bed.
Henry felt his heart tightened and quickly made his way into the room.
Josie was curled up by the window, as if she was expecting something.
Back then, Josie would often fall asleep, curled up by the window, whenever he came home late.
At that time, Josie’s heart and mind were filled with thoughts about Henry. Alas, things were differentnow.
He carefully held Josie in his arms, afraid that he would wake her up.
At that moment, Henry could not help but lament that they would not be in this situation if he hadtreated Josie well from the beginning.
“Mm…” Josie did not have a good sleep. Because she stayed up late, she was in a half–consciousstate.
Henry put her back on the bed, pulled the quilt over her body, and drew the curtains shut.
He carefully tidied Josie’s hair and bent down to kiss her on the forehead. “Have a good sleep, my littleprincess.”
“Perhaps she’ll get what she wants soon,” he mused.
In Henry’s eyes, Josie was the princess of the Gibson family. In fact, she was the rightful princess, andhis responsibility, as the so–called heir, was to protect the princess.
It was just that his pride made him unwilling to admit that he coveted Josie and that he had alwaysloved her.
Henry would feel inferior, crazy, and sensitive.
He would think that Josie was looking down on him and so was everyone else.
The sunlight could not shine through the curtains, and the room was dimly lit, resembling the night.

Josie was in a deep slumber for the entire day. By the time she woke up, it was already three o’clock inthe afternoon.
The entire house was empty, and there was no sign of Henry.
Josie breathed a sigh of relief. She did not want to be under the same roof as Henry, for she would feelsuffocated.novelbin
She then got up and looked at her phone. Besides a group message from Sebastian, no one elsecontacted her.
In the past. Samuel would be the first one to look for her if she was sick.
But now.
Josie threw her phone aside in frustration and hugged herself tightly, remaining in that position for along time
“Why the hell am I trying to do? Isn’t this good? This is great… she thought.
Over at Aureum. Henry sat in the treatment chair, looking troubled. “I don’t know… who I should trust. Ionce doubted everyone, but now, I only doubt myself”
“Mr. Gibson, what you have is called bipolar disorder. As I said, it’s dangerous. The psychiatrist glancedat Henry and added, “You should try to let go of yourself and the people around you. If you’re hurting,will you feel free after making the person you love hurt with you?”
Henry did not speak.
“Mr. Gibson. I suggest you try to let go. There may be unexpected gains.
In the meantime, things were not peaceful over at Turner Corporation.
“Samuel, you don’t have to work so hard. You need to eat and get some sleep! Mom and Dad areterrified by your behavior.” Nina was frightened by her younger brother. Ever since he decided to takeover the company, Samuel was like an emotionless robot.
“I need to get familiar with the company as soon as possible. Samuel ignored Nina’s chiding.
“Did you ask them to suppress the news online?” It was news about Samuel’s marriage to the daughterof Convergence Corporation’s owner.
“Nina, I don’t want to be bound by anyone.” Samuel frowned before adding. “Let me settle the thingsbetween Jo and me.”
“She and Henry have remarried. Are you really going to stay single forever? Are you trying to piss meoff?” Nina sat aside, looking angry.
“I’m a grown man. I can take care of my own relationships, so stop meddling, Nina.” Samuel was a littlefrustrated.
At that moment, he was afraid that Josie would see those baseless articles.
“Samuel Turner, I can leave you alone, but I have to give you an ultimatum. Within a year, no matterhow things are between you and Josie, you have to get married!”
