Zachary raised his brow. There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"I've thought about it from that angle, but I'm more inclined to your first guess." He put down the cup of coffee in his hand.

Joey walked over to the other armchair and sat down. Her gaze was calm as she stared at him.

"The situation this time involves your friend's life. I have no right to dictate how you handle it. Besides, I'd like to know who has something against me in the Fulham family."

Yvonne was one of them, but there was surely someone else backing her.

"I want to make it clear in advance: I won't sweep the situation involving Lawrence aside.

"I know you'll thank Kenneth for speaking up for you on Twitter, but I'll take him out together with the Fulhams if he's in league with them."

He looked her in the eye. His tone was cold.

"I know," she replied.

Naturally, she was thankful for Kenneth's help. However, she did not know how his relationship with the Fulhams is nowadays.

    Zachary hung up the phone. Disappointment flashed in his eyes.Lawrence saw this and smiled mischievously. He said, "What? You rejected her, yet you're the one who feels dejected? "If you genuinely miss her then return to Eldeville. I can handle it here.""You're lying flat on the bed. You think you can handle it?" Zachary shot him an exasperated glance."I'm the best when lying down because no one can order me around in this state. I can investigate anything you ask." His smile was relaxed.Zachary squeezed his shoulder. "You've done enough. Let me handle the rest."Lawrence was still pale from blood loss.Upon hearing Zachary's words, he said unwittingly, "Don't you find me useless?"Had I been more aware of our surroundings, then none of this would have happened. You even had to come over to the capital to handle this mess."Zachary patted Lawrence's head as if he were his brother."You've done well enough. Or would you only be satisfied with yourself if you died?"Of

    Zachary felt her hesitation and couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to say? Just say it, I'll listen."Joey's heart skipped a beat, but she steadied herself and said, "Grandma received a call from the Fulhams and wants you to stop what you're doing."She told him what Monica had said, yet all she got was a sneer."What? They couldn't handle me, so they've resorted to scaring an old woman?"Tell her that it'll be fine. I've already decided on doing this, so I won't stop."Upon hearing his resolute tone, she knew it would be useless to advise him any further. He said he would do as he wanted, and she was unsure how much of what he said was true.However, she would not presume too much and let Zachary make his own decisions."Zachary, Grandma isn't a coward. She was never afraid during her time in Linton Ville unless she was genuinely at a disadvantage." She couldn't help but remind him."Alright, Joey. The fact that both of you still care for me is enough." After he said tha

    Four years ago, the internet was not as popular as it was at the moment. Therefore, even if the matter about someone dying in that family was posted on Twitter, not many people would have seen it.It was buried over time until that day when it became known to the public again."Do you think this is true?" Selena messaged Joey again.Chewing on her lips, Joey replied, "It needs to be verified. Julian is not a good person. If this is true, why didn't he say it when he was arrested back then?"How convenient for him to bring it up when a conflict between the Fulham family and Zachary happens."After sending the message, she tried calling Zachary, but he did not answer.Since their divorce, Zachary had always answered her calls within seconds.Yet, he had not replied to her messages or answered her calls that day.Joey couldn't help but feel worried.Had she been too confident about Zachary? When Monica had first mentioned it, she should have believed her. However, she had merely

    Joey was busy until 2:00 am, tirelessly searching for people involved in Zachary's case.When she was dizzy and exhausted, she received a call from Melvin.Surprised that he was still up at this time, Joey was slightly puzzled when she answered the phone."According to insider information, Zachary has sneaked across the border. What's going on with him? Did he really let Julian take the blame?"From Melvin's tone, he was clearly shocked to the core."What do you mean he sneaked across the border?" Joey immediately inquired."I found records of Zachary crossing the border illegally. They were provided by the police. I'm not making baseless accusations," Melvin replied."Mr. Fuller, I want to go to Yarwood's border to check it out. Can you arrange for that to happen?" Joey asked Melvin. She didn't dare to go alone, afraid that something might happen."Of course! I can even go with you," Melvin readily agreed, still somewhat excited.Joey felt he seemed unusually happy."Yarwood

    Melvin immediately understood Joey's intention."That is a good plan."Returning to their hotel, Melvin promptly dispatched someone to inquire with the locals. Within two hours, the individuals Melvin brought with him had gathered useful information."I asked around. Around 12:30 pm last night, a middle-aged man led a group to send a young, bound, blindfolded man across the border illegally via a boat," Melvin's subordinate informed Joey and Melvin with a shrewd expression.Surprise appeared on Melvin's face.Joey was also astonished upon hearing this news. Was Zachary kidnapped? Was that why he couldn't be contacted?"Are you sure? Apart from eyewitnesses, is there any physical evidence?" Melvin asked further."We are still checking on that," his subordinate responded."Tell them that money is not an issue. As long as they provide valid evidence, I will definitely reward them generously," Melvin said to his subordinate with a meaningful smile on his face.His subordinate imme

    The investigation went much smoother than Joey had imagined. She handed the video over to the Yarwood police, who, in turn, arrested several individuals involved in assisting illegal border crossing. Subsequently, an official announcement was made."You're really capable," Joey said to Melvin upon hearing that the informant had been caught.Melvin smiled somewhat embarrassedly. "My uncle told me that we shouldn't conceal such matters."Anyone involved in assisting illegal border crossings should all be caught. This way, we can prevent many people from being deceived into attempting illegal border crossings.""You did the right thing," Joey agreed with his approach.The announcement from the Yarwood police quickly gained the netizens' attention.The prestigious Gray family's president had been abducted and sent out of the country, and there was a connection to the Fulham family. This news garnered explosive popularity.Even though it was late at night, netizens' interest in the

    After Henry and Melvin left, Zachary finally spoke."I never intended for you to forgive me. I planned this from the beginning, but I didn't expect you to worry about me," he said.Joey understood the underlying meaning in Zachary's words. Because he thought she wouldn't worry, he didn't see the need to inform her of the plan."If this had nothing to do with me and my grandmother, I wouldn't have cared," Joey replied nonchalantly.Although Zachary was disappointed to hear that, he didn't show it."Actually, I'm targeting the Fulham family because of Lawrence."Lawrence has a different standing in Imperia's social circle. If I didn't teach the Fulham family a lesson, it could threaten his position in the Howard family," Zachary explained.Zachary didn't want Joey to keep mentioning how he helped her and Monica. It made him uncomfortable and also imposed a moral constraint on her.He didn't intend to keep her bound through that."I understand," Joey replied with her usual tone a

    Not even a week later, Hanson called Joey.He originally wanted to meet Joey in person, but she refused his request."My money that was transferred to your account was done by the family maid. My second uncle bought her off, deliberately sending such a large amount to disgust you."Yvonne genuinely wanted to order a dress from you. She only called you after the maid told her that she had paid you."She might not be good at expressing herself, but she definitely didn't mean any harm," Hanson explained.After Hanson finished speaking, Joey did not respond.When she remained silent, Hanson continued, "Yvonne just returned, and my second uncle is reluctant to accept her."This is because this matter concerns the marriage between the Fulham family and the Yates family."He always believed that if Yvonne didn't return, his daughter could marry someone from the Yates family. That's why he did so many things behind the scenes."It's indeed the Fulham family's fault, and it's my fault,

    Joey shot him a cold glance. "You and he are both the same, so neither of you should be laughing at the other."Zachary nodded. "You're right, but I've turned over a new leaf now.""Let's go. Enough about him," Joey said. She was annoyed whenever Henry was brought up.He had a great girl willing to be with him, yet he was still unhappy. Any other man would have been grinning from ear to ear.They arrived at the restaurant, and while Joey ordered the food, Zachary sent a message to Henry."You should think about this. Joey and Grandma just want you to have someone by your side in the future, which is why they're saying these things."Don't give up on her just because of what her parents said. Having someone who genuinely likes you is rare."From Zachary's perspective, Henry had a pretty good start. Tessa didn't mind his circumstances, so what was he dissatisfied with?Henry quickly replied, "I know. I'll think about it carefully."In truth, Henry found it all a bit troublesome.

    Henry was immediately startled and started stammering, "O-Okay."As soon as Joey hung up the phone, she turned to see Tessa, who was crying pitifully, and handed her a tissue.Tessa took the tissue and sobbed without saying a word.Monica had prepared some desserts for her and looked at her with compassion. "Henry has never been in love before. Plus, he's straightforward and doesn't know how to talk properly. There's no need to cry."Joey thought that Henry just didn't love Tessa enough. Otherwise, how could he say such things?Tessa's eyes were swollen and red. Her tears continuously streamed down. "I know he doesn't like me. Maybe he just agreed to the relationship because I pursued him."Joey patted her shoulder. "In love, if one person is too proactive, the other will seem passive. The fact that you dared to love already makes you braver than many.""What's the point? He doesn't care about me at all." Tessa sniffled."Here, eat something," Monica said. "Feelings like love d

    No one tried to persuade Henry further, but Zachary continued to say to him, "Come with me to choose a location for the security company. It's worth doing."Henry was a bit speechless. "I'm not even pursuing the relationship anymore. Why should I still think about the security company?"Zachary responded, "Do you plan to cling to Joey's coattails your whole life? Once the business is set up, you can have apprentices teach others, and you can become a hands-off boss in a year or two."With that, Zachary headed out.After they left, Monica sighed in disappointment. "And I here I thought Henry had found someone good for him.""I think it's quite normal. Finding a good woman isn't easy," Joey said.Henry was indeed a good person, but with one eye missing and his job as a bodyguard, it was inevitable that Tessa's parents would worry."How disappointing," Monica murmured repeatedly.Joey didn't know what else to say and could only comfort her. "There's still a chance. What if Tessa d

    Joey snorted. "You looked down on me and thought I had no opinions back then."Zachary pulled her into his arms. "Joey, do you like the person you are now or the person you were before?""What about you?" Joey asked him."I liked you from the beginning. Do you think I would have pursued you for so long if I didn't? I never thought you were serious about the divorce. At first, I was angry, but now I just think I was too slow to react."Joey was genuinely angry back then, but he had thought she was playing hard to get.The two of them sat close and watched the movie together.Selena hadn't returned yet, so Joey guessed that she wouldn't be coming back."Selena probably won't return. Hanson is cunning by taking her away with just a movie," Joey said.Zachary turned off the projector and was still savoring the moment as Joey left his arms."They're in love. Otherwise, Selena wouldn't go with him so easily," Zachary remarked.Selena must really like Hanson. Otherwise, she wouldn't

    Zachary squeezed her hand tightly. "You're just like an exquisite and beautiful flower."Joey couldn't help but laugh. She pulled her hand back with a little force. "Even though we just had a heartfelt conversation, I haven't thought about being your girlfriend.""I get it. You're Chloe, and countless people are lining up to pursue you," Zachary said in a voice tinged with jealousy.If she wasn't so focused on her work, she probably would have found a new boyfriend by now. For example, Kenneth was an excellent person. If Joey had accepted him back then, Zachary thought he wouldn't stand a chance now.When they got back to Emmen, Joey freshened up and got back to work.Zachary couldn't help but say, "Can't you take a break?""I've gotten used to this over the past year. When I can't sleep at night, I'll work. I find it hard to relax now," Joey said while reading a document intently.Without her dedication and hard work, Emmen wouldn't have grown so quickly.Zachary beckoned her

    Zachary felt a heavy weight on his chest as he looked at Joey.She continued, "Even if I accept you again, and we try to rebuild a family, I know things can never go back to the way they were. I gave you my best years, and I don't feel like I owe you anything."During those three years, you ignored my true feelings and neglected me. Do you think it's possible to go back to the past now?"Zachary said, "I'm truly sorry.""I want to fully accept you, but I can't. You all think that the many hurts inflicted on me are something I can just get over, let go of, and move forward from. But I can't."I realize now that people are complicated and hold grudges. I constantly revisit every wrong done to me. If I didn't care, it would mean I don't care about any of you at all."Joey rarely opened up to Zachary like this, but she felt it necessary to make this clear.Zachary watched her silently and felt as though it was his first time knowing what she actually thought."It's like how I don't

    Selena readily agreed, "Alright. It's not fair for you to handle everything alone."Her relationship with Hanson was intense and passionate at the beginning, but now that the initial fire had burned out, Selena felt less attached to Hanson. But after dinner, she was still dragged by Hanson to watch a new movie.Joey was exhausted from work and didn't want to move, so she sat at the dining table with Zachary to enjoy the peace."Shall we head back soon?" Zachary asked after a long while.Joey hummed, exhausted. "Let's sit a bit longer.""If you don't want to walk, I can carry you," Zachary said with a smile.Joey snorted. "Do you want Grandma to scold me? Have you even recovered?""Probably not. These wounds don't heal so easily," Zachary admitted honestly. He wanted to please Joey but had forgotten that his health was no longer as robust as before."Let's sit for another half an hour," Joey said as she leaned back in her chair and replied to messages on her phone."You're work

    Selena felt that what Joey said made sense and immediately nodded in agreement. "Then I won't consider marriage."Zachary glanced at them and thought that Selena was a bad influence on Joey. Even if they were married, couldn't they still have fun? What was the difference?Around noon, Hanson and Tessa arrived at Emmen together.As soon as Tessa saw Henry, she ran to him and grabbed his arm. "I got out of class early to see you. You're not mad, are you?"Henry was taken aback, but seeing Tessa clinging to him so sweetly filled his heart with joy."Not at all. Why didn't you tell me? I could have picked you up," Henry said.Tessa held his hand. "Why do you have to pick me up? I know where you work, so I can come to find you."Henry nodded dumbly."Tessa, have you eaten?" Monica stepped forward with a gentle smile."No, but my parents want to invite him to dinner tonight. I've already arranged it with them," Tessa said with a smile.Joey thought this wasn't just a regular dinner

    Henry had a smile on his face, looking quite pleased with himself. "Of course, she fell in love with me at first sight."Selena laughed. "Impressive! But your cosplay style probably appeals to most young girls, right?"Henry may have only one eye, but he was still very handsome. He was like a cosplayer you'd see on the street.He simply smiled and picked up his phone to check in with Tessa.After chatting, Henry grinned like a fool. "She asked me out to lunch. She said she doesn't have classes this afternoon and wants to take me to her place."Joey felt a bit envious. "You're incredibly lucky. You need to cherish this."Henry nodded as Monica looked at Henry with a smile."What is your girlfriend studying in grad school?" Selena asked curiously."Something related to Eldelish language studies I think," Henry replied, unsure.Joey nodded. "That sounds good."After finishing his meal, Henry sat nearby, playing on his phone.Selena couldn't help but tell Joey, "Is he just going
