Chapter 249: Chapter 249

In the coffee shop on Santalum Alley, Henry furrowed his brows. “Zachary made the fatal mistake of impulsively finding Ashley which landed him in Ashley’s trap. He is currently being sued by Ashley for…

assault.”

Josie sat up straight in her chair as a result of her surprise. “Zachary has always been cautious, right?”

She wondered, “How could he act so impulsively?”

“Zachary only stated that Ashley provoked him verbally and tempted him by clarifying his father’s crimes.”

Samuel knitted his brows too. “It’ll be very troublesome.”

If Ashley didn’t withdraw the lawsuit, Zachary would surely be found guilty because he had a criminal record of harming Ashley.

Henry spoke while leaning against the chair. “Spike’s men were unable to find Ashley because she was concealed and guarded by Hazel. I was able to trick her into coming out by calling. Since we can’t be there, especially Josie, we simply have to wait and watch what Spike will do.”

Henry thought to himself, *Ashley gave me a call and asked me to question you about Zachary, She may have wanted to threaten me, or she may have desired a fair exchange in which I would withdraw the case and release Thomas.” Josie made a guess.

Henry nodded. “That’s exactly what she wants:

“What a bad woman…” Samuel clenched Josie’s fingers.

“Zachary won’t be in any danger, at least Josie consoled herself.

“Yeah.” Henry nodded and ignited a cigarette, but as he thought of Josie, he extinguished it.

“Have you been smoking a lot lately? Samuel furrowed his brows.

Henry did not respond.

Josie didn’t inquire because she wasn’t involved with Henry anymore. She no longer could or would care too much about him.

“Take good care of Josie. If you don’t withdraw the case, Ashley will not let it slide. Thomas obeys Ashley’s every word, so he will definitely hurt Josie if he is released Henry was worried about Josie’s safety.

“I will.” Samuel didn’t say much to not provoke Henry.

Henry didn’t dare to look at Josie because he was afraid.

Outside of the coffee shop, Ashley sneaked out to meet Henry without notifying Hazel. She was full of joy.

However, before she could walk out of the alley, someone stopped her.

0 The gangster in the lead swung his knife. “Is that you, Ashley? I heard you put Zach in jail.”

Ashley’s face tumed pale as she slowly stepped back.

She forced herself to calm down and wanted to call Henry for help.

They were very close to each other because Henry was just on the other side of the street.

Despite that, her phone was thrown to the ground by the gangsters.

Ashley pretended to be calm. “What do you want? We’re in broad daylight, and there are people on the street.”

The leader sneered. “If you dare, scream. I’ll see who dares to help you. We’ll harass you every day if you don’t withdraw the case. You’re a celebrity, right? When I strip you off and take pictures, I’ll see if you’ll withdraw the case.”

Ashley’s face grew paler as she realized that the gangsters clearly dared to do anything they wanted.

“Don’t touch me! You best get out of here because my boyfriend is right across the street”

The gangsters sneered. “Your boyfriend? Do you mean Henry?”

Ashley stepped back nervously, “We initially had trouble locating you, but eventually did so by just keeping a watch on him. Do you honestly believe he will rescue you?”

In the coffee shop, Henry received a call from Ashley for help. Although the phone only vibrated once, he knew that Spike’s men must have blocked her, Henry frowned slightly and rubbed the spot between his eyebrows.

Then, he thought, 宙
