Chapter 138

Josie fled the Gibson residence in desperation.

Henry did not stop Josie because he expected her to return.

If Josie made a deal with Samuel because of the Turner family, it could only mean that she had fallen in love with him.

Deep down, she didn’t believe Henry’s phony remarriage at all.
