Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 213

In the gang’s base of the Taibbi family, Quinton was kneeling in front of the Taibbi family’s ancestral hall with a pale face.

Spike swung a stick at Quinton’s back furiously.

Spike was actually depressed. After all, he had devoted himself to assisting Quinton’s development, but Quinton had disappointed him.

“That woman betrayed you and tarnished you. You wanted to marry her despite the fact that she had basically ruined you! Are you trying to piss me off?” Spike’s voice was filled with rage, and he struggled to maintain his

balance.

Hearing that, Quinton lowered his head and sat quietly.

“Quinton! I’ve worked hard to train you up to this point, and this is your way of saying thank you? By upsetting me?” Spike then struck Quinton’s back again with the stick.

Despite his best efforts, Quinton’s back hurt so badly that he nearly passed out.

“You should reflect on yourself here. When you finally figure out when to divorce that woman, you’ll be able to: leave the ancestral hall!” Spike snorted, clearly not in a good mood.

“I won’t. I’m not going to divorce her.” Quinton attempted to maintain his dignity.

“Quinton!” Spike’s suppressed rage erupted immediately as he kicked Quinton hard.

“Mr. Taibbi, Henry is here…” His subordinate did not dare to intervene.

Hearing that, Spike snorted. “Keep an eye on him. Break his legs if he dares to leave!”

Spike walked out the door, looking coldly at Henry and wondering, “Is he here to enjoy the scene?”

“A position is available in the company. Do you have any suggestions for candidates? Henry asked straightforwardly.

Spike frowncy, perplexed as to why Henry had inquired about it.

“I believe Quinton is a viable candidate. After all, he is one of my own. Although he was tainted slightly, making it

difficult for him to take on a large responsibility, appointing him as the director should be fine. Furthermore, he’s. spent so many years studying abroad, and I can’t let his academic credentials go to waste.”

Henry cast a silent glance at Spike.

As expected, Spike’s anger was appeased. Spike and Quinton were still blood relatives at the end of the day.

Even though Spike despised Quinton, he wished him the best.

That was exactly what Henry used to take advantage of the situation.

“Is he capable of handling such important responsibilities?” Spike was enraged and impolite. “He’s just a useless man who did all that for the sake of a woman.”

Then, he added, “Actually, Jessica is not a bad woman. At the very least, she can keep an eye on him for me.” Henry made no attempt to hide the fact that Jessica was his subordinate, tasked with keeping Quinton in check for him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let Quinton into the company without any reservations.

Spike soon became less tense, exactly as Henry desired.

“If you don’t mind, you can leave Quinton to me, and I’ll assist you in raising him,” Henry suggested, raising his

eyebrows.

“When do you want to bring him along?” Spike, in reality, wanted Quinton to go through adversity. He was curious what Henry would do to Quinton if Quinton went to work for his competitor.

In reality, Quinton had always regarded Hazel and Henry with contempt. Working under Henry would undoubtedly be a good opportunity for Quinton to gain experience.

“As soon as possible.” Henry gave a meaningful smile.

“Bring him out,” Spike agreed and directed his subordinate.

Despite his dislike for Quinton, Henry was aware that the two of them were related by blood. Aside from that, Henry had previously given Quinton a lot of help at Muprary.

Quinton’s legs were shaking as he was led out of the ancestral hall by his men.

When Henry saw that, he did nothing but stand there and watch him fall to the ground.

Quinton, Henry reasoned would never mature as a man unless he toughened himself up.

Next, Quinton frowned and glared at Henry angrily. He despised Henry, who appeared to be having the most fun. watching the scene. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Zachary, go and hold up Mr. Taibbi,” Henry sneered.

When Zachary heard that, he stepped forward and picked up Quinton.

Quinton was rendered speechless. “Stop acting like a hypocrite.”

“Alright then. Return him to the ancestral hall.” Henry got in the car, not attempting to persuade Quinton.

Quinton was about to be dragged back by Zachary when he realized Henry meant what he said. Hurriedly, he shook off Zachary and got into the car, gritting his teeth to deal with the pain.

After he closed the door, he snorted. “Don’t even think I’ll be thankful to you.”

“Drive to the overpass and dump him there,” Henry said casually.

Quinton was enraged when he heard that.

As Quinton had anticipated, Henry actually threw him out of the car onto the overpass.

Frustrated and befuddled, Quinton could only stand there and curse Henry as he lit a cigarette.

In such wilderness, he wondered where he could get a taxi.

In Hofcaster Hospital, Ashley had consumed spicy chicken spaghetti while she was receiving medical attention, which stimulated the esophagus and stomach more than poison does.

“You’ve just woken up, girl. Liquid food and nutritional injections were your primary sources of nutrition while you were in a coma for an extended period of time. Eating such spicy food right away is bad for your health!”

While lecturing her, the nurse requested that her stomach be pumped by the doctor. The nurse was concerned that Ashley’s stomach might have been damaged.

Ashley had been vomiting the entire time, and she had even vomited blood at the end.

Shortly after, the doctor injected her with a sedative and rushed her into the emergency room.

With her friends Ly her side, Josie stopped dozing off in her ward. She wasn’t just awake, but she was also

excited.

“Three Fours!” Josie said as she tossed three cards.

They began playing president after they had finished playing poker.

“Three Fives!” In the end, Josie was the victor because they all let her win on purpose.

“Your brother asked you to sleep at the front door, Sebastian,” Sebastian finished the game in last place.

Rebecca snickered and didn’t dare to say anything when she heard that.

Sebastian was fine with it, so he drew one of the small beds closer to the door and slept there.

“Once you two join the crew, you both must work and strive hard. When I’m fully healed, I’ll bring you two glory,”

Josie promised.

“Josie, you must get better soon.” Jessica was slightly concerned.

“Sure, don’t worry.” Josie lay down and gazed at Madelyn, who had already fallen asleep.

She was overjoyed to have those friends with her at that time, and she was no longer afraid of anything.

She was still alive because that was her fate. If she couldn’t make it, it was also her fate.

She was already considered fortunate in comparison to many other people.

As a result, she reasoned that her treatment should be considered the start of her new life.

Following a stomach pump, Ashley returned to her ward and dozed off for a while. The chilly wind woke her up in the middle of the night. She became nervous when she saw the empty ward. “Thomas…”

Despite her fear, Ashley subconsciously yearned for Thomas because she was accustomed to his company.

Suddenly, a figure passed by the window.

Seeing that, Ashley curled up in horror and wondered, “This is the fourth floor. How can there be a figure outside

the window?”

“I need to call the nurse…” Ashley’s voice was hoarse, and she reached out to press the call button on the

bedside.

However, no one responded, as if the line had been severed.

Suddenly, a sneer could be heard from the speaker.

“Ashley… I died miserably.” The voice was Zachary’s father’s.

“Ah!” Ashley screamed hysterically and hid under the quilt out of fear.

“Ashley…” Zachary’s voice could be heard once more.

Utterly terrified, Ashley’s entire body was shaking.

I kindly adopted you, but you murdered me instead. I died so tragically.”

“I didn’t do it!” Ashley sobbed as she shook her head.

“I was the one who gave you your name, Ashley. Can you even feel at ease using the name I gave you?”

“No! Please refrain from bothering me! I’ve always prayed to God that you’d go to Heaven after death. Please stop pestering me. Please, let me go.” Ashley’s voice was trembling.

The ward suddenly quieted down, and everything appeared to be an illusion.

Ashley listened to her surroundings in fear for a long time before slowly removing her head from the quilt when she couldn’t hear anything else.

“Ah!” Ashley passed out after a shrill scream echoed through the air.
