Chapter 148


    The cast for “A Pond of Reeds” was finally decided. The main character was Hazel, and the secondary


    character was Reba. Finally, they could live up to their expectations.


    Josie breathed sigh of relief and looked through the name list of other actors. Ashley was also on the


    list. Although Ashley wasn’t one of the main characters, she was ying an important role too.


    josie sneered at how resourceful Ashley was. Although Henry didn’t care about Ashley anymore, she


    could still y a part in the show.


    “Reba, congrattions. I know you can do it.”


    Josie prepared a celebration party for Reba and Sebastian. The three of them nned to celebrate


    their sess.


    Josie, I asked Samuel toe too. I hope you don’t mind.” Sebastian smiled at Josie, appearing to be


    well–behaved and innocent. He hoped Josie wouldn’t be mad at him.


    “I don’t mind…” Josie was stunned. She didn’t expect Samuel toe.


    Tell you what, Samuel has gone mad these days. After he took over thepany, he has been working


    so hard. He is truly a workaholic now. It has been a while since I’ve seen him work so hard” Sebastian


    was in utter shock. He thought that Samuel would never inherit the family business, even if it was the


    end of the world. Sebastian was surprised that not only did Samuel work in thepany now, but he


    also gave his best


    “Why do I think that Mr. Turner ispeting with someone?” Reba asked in a low voice, then she


    kept quiet.


    “Samuel ispeting with Henry? Samuel wants to prove that he can do anything that Henry can?”


    Josie wondered. Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Samuel was in a suit, looking indifferent and


    emotionless.


    Josie’s heart tightened. She remembered Samuel used to behave like this.


    In fact, in Josie’s heart, Samuel had always seemed cold and distant.


    However, things changed after they had not met each other for three years. Samuel treated her too


    nicely, and the contrast was simply too big.


    Josie almost forgot that Samuel used to be cold and distant to everyone.


    “I still have other matters to attend to, so got Natalie to bring you all gifts.” Samuel didn’t want to sit


    down and join them. He simply passed the message and turned around to leave.


    Sebastian was shocked by Samuel’s change in attitude, so Sebastian remained silent.


    it her lips and


    Josie bit her lips and got up to chase after him.


    “Samuel..


    Samuel stopped in his tracks, but he didn’t look back


    He didn’t dare to look back.,


    He had a bet with Henry.


    “I heard from Sebastian that you took over the family business.” Josie wanted to console him, but she


    didn’t know where to


    “You… Josie was a little shocked. “What is Zachary doing here?” she wondered.


    “Ashley paid someone to kill you. I was worried about you, so I ran after you and found you in the


    bathroom. Zachary rubbed his temples worriedly.


    “Did you find the evidence?” Josie seemed to be very calm. Josie knew that Ashley would do


    something to her if Josie left Ashley no choice.


    “She didn’t know that I was the one she hired.” Zachary smiled at Josie and showed the text message


    and audio recording of what Ashley sent her.


    “That’s not enough.” Josie was white as a sheet.


    “Well, don’t worry about that. We need to take our time,” Zacharyforted Josie and poured her a


    ss of water. “Let’s


    drink some warm water.”


    Zachary couldn’t stay for long, as people around Josie would soon find out that she was missing.


    “Josie, I can’t stay with you for too long. I have to go… Although Zachary was worried about Josie, he


    had to go.


    “Zachary…” Josie looked at him nervously. “Be careful.”


    “Sure. Zachary lowered his cap and left the hospital quickly.


    Soon, Zachary would be a member of Spike’s gang. As long as Zachary could get Spike’s trust, the


    former could get more evidence to help Josic.


    Just as Zachary entered the safe passage, someone punched Zachary and pinned him on the wall. “I


    knew it was you!”


    Earlier on, Reba went to look for Josie after she realized thetter hadn’t returned to the room.


    Then, Reba found Josie’s phone in the bathroom.


    She was so frightened, so she called Henry.


    “If you dare to touch her, I will kill you!”


    Suddenly, a police siren sounded, and Zachary’s heart skipped a beat. “Did Henry call the police?


    Zachary wondered. Zachary red at Henry. “If I want to hurt her, do you think she can live to this day?


    It’s not like you care about her at all!” Henry pushed Zachary away. In a deep voice, he said, “I didn’t


    call the police.”


    Zachary was stunned at Henry’s reply, but he left anyway.


    Although Zachary was surprised that Henry let him go, Zachary didn’t have time to think about it..


    Henry then punched the wall with his trembling fingers after Zachary had long gone.

    “What am I doing? Why do I believe in Zachary?” Henry wondered.


    Perhaps Henry started to get suspicious of Ashley after what Charles had told him.


    “Mr. Gibson, did you see this man?” The policeman ran toward Henry and showed him a photo of


    Zachary


    “Who called the police?” Henry asked,


    “Ms. Ashley Long called the police. She said that she saw Zachary in the hospital,”


    12:20 PIL, TU May


    Henry nodded. “No, I didn’t see this man.”


    Walking out of the safe passage, Henry hurried to the ward.


    “Jo…”


    Josie sat on the bed, drinking her water. Her nostrils were stuffed with cotton, so her nosebleed could


    stop.


    “How are you doing?” Henry nervously pulled Josie into his arms.


    I’m doing okay.” Josie resisted and pushed Henry away.


    She just wanted to sneak out of the hospital. “H–How did you know I’m here?”
