Chapter 49
“Lydia, I’m sorry
orry that I can’t help you” Josie said in a deep voice. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to save her. It was that she was already in much trouble herself.
“Jo, we’ve been together for so many years. Before being colleagues, aren’t we friends? You were the one who trained Lauren and Mona. Even if you leave the company, please don’t get rid of us.” Lydia was a little anxious.
They had stayed in the company for a long time. It would take them a long time to rebuild their career from scratch.
Josie tightened her grip on the phone. The situation between Henry and me is very complicated. I can’t explain it clearly that easily. It wouldn’t work at all, even if I begged him.”
Josie, you can’t do this. You can’t just ignore us because of your relationship with Henry”
Josie’s breath was burning. “What else could I do?” she thought to herself.
“Josie, do you so–called rich people look down on us office workers? We need to rely on this to feed our family. Josie, show some mercy. The company made a mistake, but you can’t uproot all of us like this.”
Lydia’s words were harsh and sharp.
Josie didn’t know how to answer her. For a moment, she was numb all over.
“Lydia, I’m sorry. Henry’s decision really has nothing to do with me. Josie covered her eyes and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, her former colleagues made many calls, one after another.
Josie finally got a taste of the fickleness of the world.
She took more than half a month’s sick leave when she was ill. None of her colleagues inquired about how she was doing.
She didn’t say anything after Mona took away her project. Now that Henry was targeting Dahon Corporation, they began calling her one by one.
Regardless, Dahon Corporation was the one who fired her without reason.
After taking a deep breath, Josie still called Henry.
However, the phone call didn’t connect.
Obviously, Henry had blocked her. She could only get through when Henry contacted her.
With a bitter smile, Josie switched the phone to silent mode and threw it aside.
She was not Henry’s beloved. She couldn’t change Henry’s decision or help with Dahon Corporation’s situation.
Gibson Corporation.
After the meeting, Henry sat in the office and looked at his phone with a stern glare.
It looked like he was waiting for someone’s call.
“Mr. Gibson, aren’t you going home!” Cecilia, Henry’s assistant, was startled by Henry’s menacing aura and didn’t dare to say anything more.
“What would you do if a child who used to be very obedient suddenly disobeys you?” Henry narrowed his eyes. It wasn’t clear if he was asking Cecilia or himself.
Cecilia was confused and smiled awkwardly. “Is there a rebellious kid in your household, Mr. Gibson? It’s a phase all children

go through during puberty and will subside soon with good disciplinary actions”
Henry tapped the table with his fingers.
“Puberty?” he thought.
He searched through his memories, Josie had been very obedient ever since she returned to the Gibson family at the age of 15. She had never rebelled.
“Did she only hit puberty now?” he wondered.
“You’re right. I have to discipline her myself. Henry lowered his voice and stood up to look out of the window. He said. “You can leave now.”
He had to wait for Josie’s call.
Ever since Josie moved out of the house she used to be in, he no longer had any attachment to the place.
However, after waiting for a long time, Josie didn’t call him.
“It seems that I’m not disciplining her the right way, or rather, the stakes are not high enough,” he mused.
Henry clenched his fingers slowly as his gaze darkened.
Josie’s stubbornness upset him.
Meanwhile, at Triumph Corporation.
It was a sunny day. Josie stayed at home for a few days and then came out to find a job.
Triumph Corporation was a similar company to Dahon Corporation. It was not very big but had good development: prospects.
Josie had a good resume, solid work experience, and successful cases to show. She should have no problem applying for a job.
Contrary to her expectations, the other party looked at her resume and then looked at her before whispering among themselves.
“Ms. Yates, I’m sorry that we can’t hire you.”
Josie was stunned for a moment. She thought it was a coincidence, but she interviewed three places that day, all of which had inexplicably rejected her.
“Can I take the liberty to ask why?” Josie was very polite.
“Ms. Yates, your resume looks great, but we…” The interviewer hesitated and sighed. “We do collaborate with Gibson Corporation, so…
Josie was stunned for a moment. Her cold fingers clenched the resume as she got up to leave.
At that moment, Josie felt like a buffoon. No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t escape Henry.
“To what extent does Henry plan to do this?” she wondered.
Josie’s eyes turned red, and she gritted her teeth, refusing to give up.
“I’ll switch career paths. I could survive in another industry that doesn’t involve Gibson Corporation. Henry, do you want me to die?” she mused.
“Ms. Yates, what do you think about the latest treatment?”

However, at that time, Josie received a call from her attending physician.
“Dr. Cadman… Sorry, could you give me some more time? My finances… Josie’s voice was a little hoarse, and she sounded. desperate.
“Ah, don’t worry, Ms. Yates. I’m not rushing you. I’m just checking on you. Your condition isn’t urgent. There will be a very authoritative expert coming in the second half of the year. You can apply if you meet the conditions.
Josie breathed a sigh of relief. She had half a year.
She needed 450 thousand dollars in half a year.
She wanted to live.
Thank you, Dr. Cadman.”
“Keep a good mood during this period. Don’t get yourself injured physically, protect yourself, take your medicine on time, and come for regular checkups,” the doctor advised.
Josie complied and sat down numbly against the bus stop sign.
In half a year, there was not much time for her to choose.
Meanwhile, at the office building of Clusia Media Group at Lumonburg.
“Mr. Turner, Mr. Collins from Melody Entertainment called and said everything went well. Mr. Yancey is waiting for you….
Samuel nodded and glanced at the phone. It was Josie’s attending doctor.
“Shh!” Samuel suddenly stood up, requested that his assistant remain silent, and went to the side to answer the phone.
“Mr. Turner, I called Ms. Yates today. She is very cooperative with the treatment, but her finances… She seems to have difficulties with her finances.”
Samuel frowned. “You don’t have to worry about money. After a while, tell her that a new treatment plan funded by the hospital is recruiting volunteers. So, she could get free treatment.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Jo’s condition…” Samuel was a little worried about Josie’s body.
“Don’t worry. There is no big problem. As long as there’s no delay in the treatment, there will be no problem in the subsequent recovery. She will be cured.”
Samuel breathed a sigh of relief.
“She can’t afford to miss the best time for treatment,” he thought.
Samuel’s assistant stood at the side and looked at his back with envy. “Who does he care so much about?”
“Mr. Turner, this is the list of actors recommended by the Film and Television Department. Aside from new recruits under our company, the female lead recommended is Ashley Long from Gibson Corporation. If we agree with Ashley being the female lead, Gibson Corporation will invest 50%–*
“No,” Samuel said coldly.
He didn’t care who the female lead would be as long as it wasn’t Ashley.
“Ashley attaches great importance to this movie and has negotiated with the agency in person. It’s a good thing… His assistant was a little confused.

I want actresses, not idols. Don’t let me say it again. Samuel took his coat and left in a gloomy mood.
His assistant took a deep breath while thinking, “Rich men sure are willful.”
They a
all knew that the Turner family was not short of capital, but no one knew that Clusia Media Group was founded by Samuel.
Three years ago, Samuel had secretly founded a company before going abroad. Over the years steadily. Even Gibson Corporation didn’t know who the real boss of Clusia Media Group was.
