Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 35

In Gibson Corporation, the assistant announced, “Mr. Gibson, the directors are waiting for you.

Henry felt tormented as he stood in his office.

The assistant was a little scared. Henry had not looked happy ever since he divorced Josie.

Henry was silent for a long time as he tightened his grip on the phone. “Go find out where Charles‘ dedicated suite is at the Norman Hotel.”

After saying that, Henry opened the door and stormed out to the elevator.

“Mr. Gibson!” Startled, the assistant followed after him. “The directors…

“Tell them to wait!” Henry hollered irritably.

The assistant did not dare to say anything else. She hurriedly made a call to check on Charles‘ suite at Norman Hotel.

When Henry arrived at the Norman Hotel, the room was in a mess. He found a blood–stained glass fragment on the floor.

“Where are they?” Henry was seething in anger.

On the way to the hotel, he was more concerned about Josie than anything else.

What was he going to do if Josie really wanted to be with Charles?

After all, Josie and he were already divorced.

Mr. Gibson, I don’t know what happened. The police had taken Mr. Larson away. Mr. Turner carried a woman out of the room and went to the hospital.” The manager’s face was pale. He followed Henry nervously around the room.

“Charles.” Henry kneaded his forehead irritably and punched the glass wall in the room.

“That son of a bitch!” he shouted to himself.

Samuel and Madelyn were by Josie’s side when she woke up at Hofcaster Hospital.

Madelyn’s eyes were red. She had been so frightened that she cried.

Josie sat up nervously and looked at the doctor guardedly.

She did not want anyone to know her condition.

The doctor asked, “Are you suffering from an anxiety disorder?”

Josie nodded.
