Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 160

“Snow’s case is a bit special. Jeremy is a teacher, and his wife passed away early. He took a son to live with him. Although he was not rich, they were able to live well. Jeremy wanted to have a daughter, so he adopted Ashley. The dean felt a little sorry- for them. Unfortunately, something bad happened… The police arrested him, saying that he was suspected of assaulting an underage girl. He was imprisoned and his reputation was ruined. However, in my impression, he was not that kind of person When this happened, we were all shocked. As it turns out, we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.”

“Do you really believe this?” asked Josie, glancing at the dean. “Did she mention this because she has some doubts in her heart?” Josse wondered.

“At first, we, his old classmates, were indeed shocked. We were angry, and we condemned him. Later, the Women’s Union. and the charity sent Ashley back. We were all worried that Ashley would have been traumatized by the ordeal, so we took good care of her. Nevertheless, she was very calm. Ashley even discussed the next adoption with me and how much that family needed to have in assets to fulfill her criteria,” the dean said.

“I can understand why she won’t want to stay with a poor family after such a traumatic incident. However, one day, I forgot my car keys. When I went back to my office, I found Ashley peeking at the files on my computer. The dean let out a sigh.

She paused a while and continued. “Maybe the sound of the door being opened startled her. As such, Ashley escaped. I turned on the computer and found that the information about Henry’s adoption was on the browsing page.”

Joue nodded. She could infer that Ashley approached Henry on purpose and had been planning it for a long time.

“You can ask this person. She is a psychiatrist, and Ashley is very close to her. A few years ago, she suddenly got rich and severed all ties with us, her old friends. Just then, the dean handed a business card to Josie.

“I suspect that her money has something to do with Ashley. As a matter of fact, ten years ago, Henry came back to see me once. I recommended that he go to her for psychological counseling,” added the dean.

Josie listened quietly to everything the dean said. “The dean must have found something out. That’s why she said so much today. Otherwise, I doubt she’d have spoken to me for so long, she thought.

Jeremy was probably Zachary’s father. The dean and Jeremy were friends, and she had long suspected it

“You know who Zachary is, right?” Josie asked in a low voice.

The dean’s expression changed as she hesitated. “What?”

“It’s nothing. Josie smiled at the dean. She knew that the latter was protecting Zachary,

“I’ll keep what you said in mind. Thank you.” Josie did not say anything more as she left with the business card.

Today, she had uncovered a lot.

To ensure the dean’s safety, she could not ask too many questions. Josie also could not linger for too long.

After leaving the orphanage, Josie did not go home. Instead, she went to the Gibson residence.

Josic did not know why she wanted to come back. She felt sad and the feeling was indescribable.
