Zachary still hadn't found any clues on the third day of Selena's disappearance.He sat in his office, pondering how Yvonne's people managed to move Selena. They had checked all the surveillance footage, but there was nothing suspicious.Zachary had rarely encountered such setbacks.After contemplating for a long time, he suddenly thought of something and immediately called Shane."Find another opportunity to scour Selena's house. I suspect she's still there and never left," Zachary ordered coldly."I think it's best if Hanson handles this," Shane replied in a low voice.After all, Hanson was currently the most suitable person for this task to mitigate the risks.Zachary was silent momentarily before hanging up, which was considered an acknowledgment.Soon, Joey received a call from him.As soon as she answered, Zachary asked, "Did Selena look for Hanson when she went to Imperia?""Uh… I didn't ask," Joey replied. She was too busy to keep up with other people's relationships.
During the days Hanson was searching for his sister, he constantly hoped she would return home.He believed he treated her very well after he found her since he accommodated her in everything.However, the longer they spent together, the more Hanson found Yvonne annoying. She not only liked to stir up trouble behind the scenes but also often sowed discord between their parents.She claimed to like Joey but always painted herself as a victim, constantly complaining about how much she suffered at Joey's hands.Yvonne couldn't believe Hanson would speak to her like this. She sniffled and asked in a trembling voice, "Hans, are you annoyed with me now? Do you dislike me now that you have someone you like?"Hanson responded coldly, "I have my own matters to attend to. Don't use Selena to manipulate me. Besides, I'm tired of shopping with you all the time. Let me rest for two days."With that, he hung up the phone.Yvonne quickly dropped her pitiful act and threw her phone onto the bed
"Are you still mad at Yvonne? I scolded her when I came here today. I'm on your side no matter what. You have to believe me." Hanson's voice sounded pitiful.Selena replied, "I'm not mad. I just want to travel by myself!""But I asked your neighbors, and they said you hurt your leg. They even reported it to the police for you. How can you be out traveling if your leg is injured?" Hanson questioned her deliberately.This time, Selena didn't respond quickly.After a long silence, she said, "The injury isn't serious. Did you go to my house?""Yes. I miss you. I went to see you, but you ignored me, so I asked your neighbors," Hanson said gently."I'm not at home and am outside having fun. Don't look for me. I'll call you back once I've cleared my mind." Selena's words clearly implied her refusal to meet.Hanson grew a little angry. "Why won't you meet with me if you're in Imperia? Is it really that hard for you to meet up with me?""Can you stop making a fuss?" Selena said angrily.
Vaughn said displeasedly, "I can see you don't like Yvonne at all."Zachary's lips curled slightly, but he didn't respond.Emily felt a pang of bitterness in her heart when she overheard their conversation."This marriage wasn't my idea. It was her request. I keep my word. Since the Fulham family spared Emmen, I will fulfill my promise and ally with the Fulham family," Zachary informed Vaughn calmly.Vaughn said no more. Instead, he stood up and motioned for Emily to follow him upstairs.…Joey arrived at Spring Heaven with several business partners in the evening. Just as they were seated, they saw Yvonne and Zachary entering the restaurant together.A trace of surprise flashed across Joey's face. Zachary was in Imperia, and she didn't even know.But after recalling Zachary's previous words, she quickly understood.Zachary had said he would get married eventually. What he was doing now was merely confirming what he had mentioned before.Joey looked away.Zachary also notice
Joey caught a glimpse of them from the corner of her eye as they left the restaurant.After finishing the meal with the various investors, Joey arranged for a taxi to take them to their hotel before getting into her car.However, her car was blocked by Zachary's before she could leave the parking lot.Zachary sat in his car, looking displeased as he stared at Joey, who furrowed her brows but said nothing.Zachary got out of the car after exchanging gazes with her. When he knocked on her window three times, Joey reluctantly got out as well."What's the matter?" Joey asked, her brows still furrowed."I didn't inform you beforehand when I came today. I found out from Henry that you were in a meeting, so I went to the Fulham Estate first," he explained assertively while inserting himself between Joey and the car.Joey remained expressionless. "Why do you need to explain to me, Mr. Gray? Yvonne is your fiancée.""Are you jealous?" Zachary countered."Zachary, we're divorced. Please
Back at the Fulham Estate, Yvonne couldn't stop sobbing in the living room.When Vaughn came downstairs and saw her crying uncontrollably, he immediately approached and asked, "What's wrong, darling?""Zachary's ex-wife is Joey. Did you both know and not tell me?" Yvonne asked Vaughn with swollen eyes.Vaughn sat beside her and was about to explain, but then he noticed her swollen cheeks and asked urgently, "Who hit you?"Yvonne cried, "I went to dinner with Zac. Who knew Joey would deliberately bring along a few men to eat with her when she saw us there?"She was even laughing and joking with them. Zachary got angry, so I went to confront her, but he hit me because of her."She sobbed even harder.Vaughn stood up angrily, about to grab his phone to call and scold Zachary.Emily came down from upstairs and hurried over to hug Yvonne when she saw Yvonne crying miserably."Don't call him… Forget it. It's my own fault for insisting on marrying him and not knowing he still harbore
Monica gripped the broom tightly while glaring at Vaughn and Emily. "You will regret this sooner or later!"Vaughn snorted coldly, thinking Monica was talking about public opinion matters. He wore a look of disdain. "I won't regret it. Even if Yvonne did something wrong, we'll support her as her parents."Emily looked at Joey and said, "I never expected someone with talent and character like you to behave so poorly."Yvonne tried to please you multiple times, but you didn't appreciate it. Instead, you joined forces with Zachary to humiliate her! You knew all along that you wouldn't lose even if Zachary married into the Fulham family."Since Zachary likes you, you were perfectly fine with him getting engaged to Yvonne. It would solve Emmen's crisis, and you would get to enjoy seeing her make a fool of herself!"Joey had no intention of explaining. Her cheeks were flushed from being slapped, clearly indicating that Emily had given it her all."You won't believe an outsider's words,
Zachary looked at her and said, "You can call me if they come to cause trouble again. It's a good thing Stacy was working late and called me in time today. Otherwise, who knows how chaotic it would have been here?"Vaughn would have really smashed Emmen up.Joey pursed her lips and remained silent.Although she was angry tonight, she also had a kind of frustration and sadness that she didn't quite understand."You should go back first. I want to rest," Joey said in a tone that carried a hint of coldness.Zachary looked at her for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Are you upset?""No," Joey replied with a stern face."Rest early, then. Remember to call me if they come to trouble you," Zachary said soothingly.He had a bit of understanding as to why Joey was upset.After all, they were related by blood. How could she not be upset when Vaughn and Emily came to bully her?After Zachary left, Joey tidied up the contracts on hand silently, let Stacy leave, and then returned to h
