Chapter 21 Jo, why are you here?" When Josie walked out of the elevator at the CEO's office, she met Charles, who just cout from Henry's office.

"Are you feeling all right today?" Charles stepped forward right away.

Everyone in the company knew that Charles was Henry's rival.

Although Henry and Charles worked at Gibson Corporation, which the latter's grandfather and John worked together to establish back then. Charles knew that Henry was adopted. Therefore, it was not surprising that Charles refused to bow down to Henry.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Larson," replied Josie. She had been deliberately avoiding Charles.

Charles knew that it was her parents' death anniversary.

On this day every year, she would sit alone by the Delisisle River all night.

However, Henry didn't care about that at all and never took it seriously.

He only knew that Josie would not return hsometimes, and she would stay at Madelyn's place.

Jo, have you thought about what I told you earlier?" Charles extended his hand to stop Josie and deliberately made a flirtatious move. There's no need to suffer like this." Josie moved away as if she was electrocuted, but she landed right into someone's embrace behind her.

"You seem to have a lot of free ton your hands, Charles" Henry stretched out his hand to hold Josie in his arms as he threatened Charles coldly, "No slackers are allowed in the company. If you have so much free time, you should go and do something productive." Charles sneered. Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Gibson. At least I didn't head to the Film and Television Department to get myself a sugar baby." "Charles!" warned Henry harshly.

Josie distanced herself from Henry stiffly and clenched her fists tight until her veins bulged.

Jo, I visited your parents' grave. Don't be too saddened. Charles deliberately comforted Josie before turning around and leaving.

Henry's expression instantly turned cold, and he asked in an icy tone, "Today is your parents' death anniversary?" Exasperatedly, he continued, "Josie! We've been married for three years. I am your husband! Even Charles knows about your parents' death anniversary, but you refused to tell me?" Henry didn't know why he was angry.

"Does this mean Josie didn't takeseriously from the beginning?" he wondered.

Josie smiled coldly and said in a hoarse voice, "What a coincidence. I never told Charles about my parents' death anniversary too Henry felt a little guilty. "What do you mean? Charles is a sly person. He only treats you well because he's after your shares. Don't fall for his charm." "Even if he is using me, at least he tries his best to remember my birthday and my parents' death anniversary. He visitson this day every year to console me. But what about you? Henry, did you marrybecause you love me?" asked Josie with a sarcastic half-smile.

Josie, I told you that you shouldn't be too greedy" Henry avoided Josie's gaze and pulled her into the office. "Mr. Gibson, you were the one who got Madelyn fired, weren't you?" Josic shook off Henry's hand.

"What about you Did you meet Ashley today? She has been crying since then. Thomas said she refuses to eat anything now. Do you know what she has gone through? She has depression and may take her life anytime!* Henry had wanted to tell Josie that he wouldn't harm anyone around her if she didn't divorce him.

She refused to eat or drink, kept crying, and thought of taking her life. "Henry. Josie lowered her head and slowly closed her swollen eyes.

"Turns out it was all because of Ashley, she thought.

"Fm sorry... for making Ashley suffer. I'm sorry..." Josie had reached her limit as she suppressed her breathing She didn't want to lose control and vomit or get into shock from nervousness.

Does "Ashley has been traumatized and has depression. Haha, I have loved Henry for ten years, but he has never cared about me. Does he know What I went through when my parents died? He knows about Ashley's severe depression, but I wonder if he knows that I've had to take painkillers every day in the past three years since we married. My life has long started to tick away!" thought Josie in despair.
