Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

"You're still trying to talk your way out of this!" Sergio threw the video recording in front of Hazel.

Hazel's face stiffened, but it seemed that Hazel was right about Sergio. "So what? It was also your brother who forced me to."

"Forced? I can tell you rather enjoyed it!" Sergio snorted and wanted to leave while lifting Silas.

"Sergio, if you step out of the door today, you'll never see me again," Hazel claimed.

Taking a deep breath, Sergio seemed to be clear-headed immediately.

"To this woman, people are like tools she could use," he mused.

Noticing that Sergio didn't intend to halt his footsteps, Hazel genuinely panicked and rushed forward to stop him.

"I'm telling you, you can forget about stepping out of here today!" Hazel yelled.

Sergio frowned and shoved Hazel aside.

Hazel's body stumbled slightly, and Hazel fell directly to the ground. Her head hit the corner of the table, and blood gushed out.

Ashley got scared witless and shrieked.

The startled Sergio also put Silas down and went to help Hazel up in a flustered manner. "Hazel!"

"Send her to the hospital quickly." Ashley didn't call for an ambulance. Instead, Ashley told Sergio to take Hazel away, as she didn't want to bear any responsibility. Sergio was at a loss as he stared at Hazel, who had already lost consciousness.

"We should take them to the hospital together!" Sergio threatened Ashley with bloodshot eyes.

Ashley didn't want to provoke Sergio. Hence, she had no choice but to help Sergio drag Hazel and Silas into the elevator.

Fortunately, there were rarely people at this time. Therefore, the elevator was empty.

Sergio drove the car and brought them to a small private hospital. It was very secluded, and only a few people knew of this place. Ashley took advantage of Sergio's anxious state and sneaked out. Ashley even sent the location to Spike's subordinate.

She thought, "Hazel, don't blame me for being ruthless. It's your fault for knowing too much."

Ashley had to get rid of Hazel. Only then could she sleep with peace of mind.

"Buzz!"

Ashley's hand trembled with fear when her phone vibrated.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Ashley, I'm Thomas."

"Thomas has gotten out of the police station," she thought.

Ashley instantly choked out, "Where are you? Come and pick me up already."

Samuel's home. Meanwhile, when Samuel got home, he had always been very cautious.

He knew that Henry had regretted it and treated Josie exceptionally well now.

Samuel was afraid that Josie would choose Henry again.

Josie turned around and glanced at Samuel. His emotions always seemed to be written on his face. "Samuel, I'm hungry." Samuel was stunned for a moment before he grabbed Josie's fingers anxiously. "Did you not eat at the Gibson residence?" "You have spoiled me. Right now, only your cooking is to my liking. What should I do?" Josie hugged Samuel.

Samuel halted his breathing at once and then grinned. "What do you want to eat?"All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"Is there asparagus in the refrigerator? I want to eat steak with asparagus."

"All right," Samuel replied.

Samuel was pampering her as usual, which made Josie feel that everything was real.

That night, she had asked Henry what he planned to do after everything was over. She also wanted to know if he would start over in life.

No matter what, she was already leading a new life.

Samuel and the members of the Turner family treated her well.

All these made Josie feel calm and have a sense of reality, unlike in the past, when she felt worried all day.

Josie sat quietly at the dining table while looking at Samuel, who was busy at the kitchen counter.

After keeping quiet for a while, Josie got up before hugging Samuel from behind. "You will always be with me, right?"

Samuel knew that Josie often brought up this question because she felt insecure.

"My life belongs to you, so I'll always keep you company. Where else can I go?"

Josie smiled as she tightened her grip on Samuel.

When Hazel woke up in the private hospital, the sky was still very dark.

Sergio was not there, so she was the only one in the ward.

Hazel got up in a panic. She endured the pain as she pulled off the peripheral venous catheter and ran out.

"Spike has gone mad. I mustn't let

myself get captured by that madman Spike. Today, Spike's subordinates found where we lived and started slaughtering people hysterically. What a lunatic!" Hazel exclaimed internally.

As soon as Hazel exited the ward, Hazel spotted a group of people sneaking in.

Hazel gasped and hurriedly hid in the ward next door. Hazel only made her escape when those people left.

It was already too late for her to save Sergio and Silas.

She had to survive.

Silas had information that he could use against Spike. Even if Spike didn't receive a death sentence, it would allow him to remain in prison for a long time.

If Spike pushed her too far, she would hand the evidence over to the police.

Thomas found Ashley in her residence. After that, Thomas began to help Ashley by tidying up her house and wiping the puddle of blood on the ground. Ashley curled up on the couch. Looking at Thomas, she finally felt at ease.

"You've lost weight recently, Ashley." After cleaning

Thomas cooked pasta for Ashley and even added a poached egg.

"I don't feel like eating. I have no appetite," Ashley responded.

Thomas sat next to her. "Listen to me. Have some food."

Thomas used to persuade her to eat and sleep in the past too.

"Do you know that Henry is truly in love with me? For my sake, he got you out and even divorced Josie!" Ashley said with a beaming smile.

Thomas felt a pang of heartache. He only wanted the best for Ashley. "Congratulations, you've gotten what you want."

"I won't mistreat you, Thomas. I'll give you a lot of money when I become Mrs. Gibson," Ashley said.

Thomas kept quiet. He didn't care about those things at all.

"Hazel-Hazel has leverage against me. Currently, Hazel's my only obstacle. What should we do if Spike's subordinates fail to capture her?" Ashley was on tenterhooks. "Hazel is Henry's mother, after all. Even if Spike captured her, he might not take her life. Besides, Hazel is a public figure," Thomas analyzed.

Ashley became more apprehensive. "Then what should we do? Help me, Thomas."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was a knocking sound on the door again.

Ashley's body instantly tensed up.

Thomas gestured for Ashley not to be afraid. Then, he got up to open the door.

It was Hazel who was standing outside the door.

"These are Spike's criminal evidence. Hurry up and hand them over to the police on my behalf." Hazel appeared to be quite anxious. She wanted the police to have this evidence.

Ashley nervously took the flash drive, not knowing what to do next.

"Ring!" Suddenly, Ashley's phone rang.

Ashley glanced at Hazel apprehensively and didn't dare to answer the call.

Hazel grew a little suspicious. "Answer your phone."

It was only then Ashley went to get her phone while trembling.

"Maybe you got the wrong number." Ashley hung up the phone. "The person called the wrong number."

Initially, Hazel didn't give it much thought. Nonetheless, the other party called again.

Ashley once again hung up the phone.

However, the person called again not long after.

"Answer the call and put it on the loudspeaker." Hazel furrowed her brows.

As an intelligent woman, Hazel naturally knew Ashley had a secret motive.

The atmosphere in the living room turned slightly tense.

Thomas frowned as he stared at Hazel.

Hazel snatched Ashley's phone and turned on the loudspeaker.

"That woman, Hazel, ran away again. If she contacts you again tonight you must inform me. Mr. Taibbi wants her dead today." The person on the other end of the phone was Spike's subordinate.

In an instant, Hazel finally realized who had betrayed her.

"How could Spike suddenly locate where we are staying?" Hazel wondered deep down.

"Ashley, I trusted you so much. How could you scheme against me?" Hazel got so angry to the point of laughter. Hazel hung up the phone and turned around to leave. She wouldn't let Ashley off that easily.

"Please let me explain, Ms. Locke, Ms. Locke!" Ashley panicked. If Hazel left like that, she would definitely lose her chance to marry Henry.
