SWNOVELS Chapter 22
Chapter 22
Jo… Henry suddenly felt a little scared when he saw the state Josie was in.
Josie, at the moment, was too different from the Josie he knew.
“…” Henry stepped forward to comfort her.
However, Josie suddenly moved and avoided Henry. It was as if she would die if he touched her.
Henry’s face darkened. He wondered what she meant by this action.
7 can’t even touch her?” he thought.
“We’re not yet divorced, Josie!” Henry’s voice was tense and gloomy. He felt that Josie was being somewhat ungrateful.
He had already put aside his pride to talk to her.
“Henry, what do I need to do for you to let me and Madelyn go?” Josie asked while suppressing her emotions.
Josie, do you think I’ll ever let Madelyn go?” Henry frowned.
After a slight pause, he continued, “I have tolerated her long enough just because she’s your friend. She is a radio reporter, and the media made up rumors and slandered Ashley because of her relationship with you. Ashley has seen all the negative news about her that says she’s a homewrecker. I have tolerated Madelyn’s willful behavior, but she shouldn’t have touched my bottom line!”
Henry didn’t mean to let Madelyn go.
At that moment, Josie could feel her ears buzzing and her heart thumping loudly in her chest. “Perhaps, people’s hearts can indeed be broken when they get sad to the extreme… she thought.
Her heart seemed to be torn to pieces by Henry,
Smack!
For the first time, Josie’s disappointment with Henry had turned into despair.
Josie slapped Henry with almost all of the strength she had.
Her already reddened eyes finally could no longer stop the tears from flowing.
Ashley again. Everything circled back to her.
“Henry, to what extent will you be partial to Ashley? Josie thought.
“Henry… You ruined my best friend’s career because of those false rumors. Madelyn is my best friend…”
“How could you do that? How could you be so cruel?” she cried inwardly.
Henry stood there numbly and looked at Josie in disbelief.
They have been married for three years and have known each other for ten years.
This was the first time… He found out that weak people would also attack if they were desperate enough.
Henry saw Josie’s tears drop on the floor, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
He wondered if he had indeed gone too far.

Chapter 22
Henry wondered how to explain his actions. He never told Madelyn’s company to fire her.
He just asked them to watch over her while handling the matter and not let it go too far.
Who would have imagined…
He didn’t expect such a result.
“Go and tell her… not to mess with Ashley anymore. If she touches my bottom line again, I will-
“Henry, I can give you 20% of the share. As long as you register for divorce with me at the City Hall right now, I’ll give the shares to you immediately.” Josie interrupted Henry.
She was in despair and just wanted to escape.
Because she would suffocate if he got close to her.
She would die if she couldn’t breathe.
She didn’t want to die yet.
She wanted to live.
She longed to live.
She wanted a good and healthy life.
Love was worthless when even health was a luxury.
Josie!” Henry was completely angry.
“Divorce again! You always say that word!” he fumed mentally.
He thought that Josie couldn’t wait to get divorced so that she could throw herself in Charles‘ embrace,
‘I can tell you now, Josie. Charles won’t even look at you once you give those shares to me!” Henry said. “You stupid woman! Do you even know why Charles approached you?” he thought.
There was no way Charles would remember her parents‘ death anniversary for no reason.
It was all Charles‘ scheme.
“Let’s go to the City Hall… Josie had no strength to speak. She even felt the strength in her legs weakened when she took a step back.
Her vision was beginning to darken, and Josie tried her best to keep it at bay.
She reminded herself to not get into shock. Otherwise…..
“Okay.” Henry grabbed Josie’s wrist and dragged her to the elevator.
“You want to get a divorce, right? Fine! I grant your wish!” he thought.
“Henry, Josie, please don’t quarrel because of me!” Ashley cried outside the office.
Henry looked at Ashley’s wrist in distress, and comforted her with a whisper, “It’s not your fault. Don’t cry. We’re just going to get a divorce.”
Josie, I know you hate me. I can die if you-”
“Enough!” Josie shouted. Her émotions were now out of control. “Stop acting, Ashley! You will really drop dead!”

Chapter 22
She heard Henry say it was not Ashley’s fault
Josie! Henry instinctively pushed Josie forward.
Josie’s center of gravity was unstable, so she fell straight on her back. Her forehead hit the edge of the trash can, and blood instantly blurred her sight.
