Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Samuel smiled and suggested, "It's likely that he really has been coveting it from the beginning. There is also the possibility that it is not the company he is coveting, but a person instead? Was there a premarital property notarization when the both of you got married?" Nina was stunned for a moment. "No."

Samuel raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you should find Leonardo and have a talk with him. My girlfriend is getting off work. Bye."

"Tsk! Such an ungrateful brat," Nina reprimanded him, then added, "Leonardo and I will be taking photos the day after tomorrow. You are responsible for the company, so don't just spend the whole day thinking about your love life. How do you expect to support your wife if you are not earning well? Do you expect Josie to work and support you?"

Samuel smiled and didn't offer any explanations.

In Ashley's residence, Ashley meticulously prepared a meal and waited happily for Henry's arrival.

Meanwhile, Henry had already arrived downstairs. However, he kept sitting in the car and was reluctant to go upstairs and put on an act with her.

"Mr. Gibson, we have looked through the surveillance videos near Ashley's house. We can only see Hazel entering Ashley's house, but there is no evidence of her leaving. We checked all the surveillance videos for nearly a week and couldn't find anything. There was only one footage. It should be Thomas. He was dragging something away when he left."

Henry's eyelids twitched. He instructed, "Send it to me. I'll have a look. Keep checking and find out where Thomas went that day."

All of a sudden, Henry had an ominous feeling, but Henry denied it.

"How could a shrewd woman like Hazel meet her downfall at Ashley's hands?" wondered Henry. "Even if they got into a fight with each other..."

After hanging up the phone, Henry rubbed his temples. He adjusted his emotions and went up the stairwell.

"Henry!" Ashley opened the door and hugged Henry happily.

Finally, she could be with him openly and aboveboard. If she wanted to hug him, she could hug him. If she wanted to be with him, she could be with him. She didn't have to sneak around like a thief as she did before this.

Henry's body was tense, and his eyes were indifferent. "What delicious food have you made?" asked Henry with a smile as he walked over to take a look. There was a wide spread of food.

"Henry, it's all your favorite food. While I was at home during this period, I've mastered a lot of dishes." Ashley was beaming happily as she put some food on Henry's plate.

"Has Hazel contacted you recently?" asked Henry matter-of-factly.

"No... No," stuttered Ashley. However, Ashley was a little nervous, and the ribs she was serving dropped to the floor.

"No? That's good. If she contacts you, let me know immediately. Spike's men are looking for her, and we have no idea where Sergio went as well." Henry was reminding Ashley to be careful.

"I will." Ashley nodded quickly and looked very obedient.

"Last night, Hazel contacted me from an unknown number. She sent me a message saying that she wanted me to go over and meet her tomorrow. If I don't show up, she's going to harm you. You need to ensure your own protection these days," said Henry deliberately to see Ashley's reaction.

Ashley's face turned pale instantly, and Ashley almost stood up.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Fork and glasses fell to the floor, and Ashley scrambled in a panic to pick them up.

Henry narrowed his eyes as he got up and approached Ashley. He grabbed her hands.

Her fingers were extremely cold. "Leave it. You should be more careful," admonished Henry.

She had a cut on her finger.

Ashley looked at Henry in a panic as she choked out, "Are you sure that was Hazel? It must be a scammer. You shouldn't be taking it seriously."

"She is an extremely cunning person that uses others' weaknesses as threats. I hope Spike ends her life for good," said Henry casually while looking for a medicine box to treat Ashley's wound.

Ashley gulped and hesitated, "Henry, do you hate Hazel so much?"

Henry's eyes darkened as Henry demanded, "Shouldn't I hate her?"

Ashley's heart tightened as she stammered, "You should... You should hate her." "Don't be so careless next time. Just let the housekeeper clean it up," said Henry.

"Henry... Hazel." Ashley faltered. "If she contacts you again, you absolutely cannot trust her. Don't go anywhere that she asks you to go. It is definitely not her." Ashley was worried that Henry would get fooled and something might happen to him.

"I can't do that still need to find her," persisted Henry. "She is the witness for all those evidence. If we want to deal with Spike, we need her to come forward." Henry shook his head and continued, "I'll check it out tomorrow."

"Don't go!" Ashley cried out as she held Henry's arm nervously. "Henry, don't believe it... Those people are lying to you." Henry's expression darkened.

"No... What I meant was that Hazel... Ms. Locke won't be sending texts if she wants to look for you," explained Ashley in panic.

"Ashley, do you know where she is?" asked Henry. "She did send me a message. She even gave me a call. I could tell that it was her voice. It must be her," persisted Henry as he stared at Ashley warily. "No... I don't know..." Ashley shook her head in panic. Her forehead broke out in a sweat.

"Are you not feeling well?" asked Henry as he raised his hand and touched Ashley's forehead. "I just suddenly remembered that there are still some things that I have to deal with. You take care of yourself." "Henry..." mumbled Ashley as Ashley got up in a hurry and hugged Henry from behind." Voices can be faked as well... Please don't go there tomorrow." Henry knitted his brows.

"Okay, okay. Why don't you head to bed first," suggested Henry.

Ashley didn't dare to ask Henry to keep staying. Even the wine she prepared for them was left untouched.

Ashley slumped on the floor and called Thomas in a panic.

As soon as Henry went downstairs, Henry clenched his fists.

For some reason, his chest tightened as well.

Henry took out and lit a lighter, but it didn't ignite even after several tries.

Henry cursed impatiently and got into the car. "Keep an eye on Ashley and Thomas. They definitely know where Hazel is."

Henry figured that something had to have happened to Hazel.

Upstairs in Ashley's residence, Ashley was slumped on the floor when Thomas entered and uttered, "Ashley."

"Thomas, didn't you say that you've handled everything? Hazel... How was Hazel still able to contact Henry?" mumbled Ashley.

Thomas was also startled, his face turning pale. "Impossible! Hazel couldn't possibly... It's impossible for Henry to have received a call from Hazel." "Where did you hide her?" asked Ashley nervously.

"Some place no one will know," Thomas replied to reassure Ashley.

"No, I'm worried. You should go and have a look Thomas, go and check if she's still there... Could it be that she is still alive? Did she run away? Do you think she has already told Henry? Is it possible?" cried Ashley as she went out of control.

"Ashley!" shouted Thomas as he held Ashley tightly. "Don't be afraid. Don't panic. I'll go check it out."

"Hurry up!" cried Ashley as she pushed Thomas away.

She had to make sure nothing had gone wrong.

Fortunately, Spike's men were also looking for Hazel. Hazel was originally in hiding before this. The police just thought she had hidden herself. They weren't aware that she had gone missing... Ashley mentally seethed, "Absolutely not... She absolutely cannot let anyone find out about this."
