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.

    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

    "Hurry up and do a search!" Zachary commanded sternly.As Shane quickly relayed the orders, Zachary returned to the car. He sat inside silently for a moment, and then sent a message to Brook and Yvonne."You have no way out. Tell me where Selena is, and I will come to exchange myself for her."He knew that it would be impossible to find Selena in a short time even if Shane searched this place thoroughly. The only option now was for him to go and make the exchange.The longer it dragged on, the more danger Selena would be in.Neither Yvonne nor Brook replied to him. Instead, he received a location from an anonymous number, as well as the message, "Don't bring anyone!"After getting out of the car, Zachary looked at Shane. "I need to go somewhere. Shane, you need to be adaptable from now on. I might never come back if you're not capable enough."Shane was shocked as he asked, "Are you going alone?""If we rely on ourselves for this search, we might end up with only Selena's corps

    Since Joey was awake, she continued reading the contract she hadn't finished last night. However, she found it hard to concentrate.If Rose's involvement in the scam was confirmed, it would bring significant turmoil to the Gray Group.She put the contract aside, turned on her computer, and checked Twitter for updates on the incident. She was quickly drawn to the top trending topic.#Police Crack Down on Three Major Scam Networks Involving BillionsDue to technological advancements, scams had become increasingly sophisticated over the years, with victims losing a few thousand to millions.Joey clicked on the topic and was horrified to see the name "Taysee Village".Taysee Village, a long-standing hub for scam operations with connections to international fraud groups, was found to have millions of phone numbers used for scams.The most egregious aspect was that scammers had infiltrated telecommunications companies, becoming insiders who sold phone cards to Taysee Village.This cr

    Before Hanson could fly back to Imperia, Emily called to inform him that Yvonne had been taken away."Rose admitted that it was Yvonne who made her join the Ponzi scheme! What on earth is going on?" Emily was crying uncontrollably.Vaughn had already gone to the police station to negotiate about Yvonne's detainment."Wait until I get back," Hanson replied anxiously.If Yvonne's identity was fake, the blood test results Vaughn and Emily witnessed were probably fabricated right in front of them by a doctor.Emily was still crying. Feeling annoyed, Hanson comforted her briefly before hanging up.If Yvonne's identity was fake, the Fulham family would become a laughingstock.They just held an extravagant banquet for her last year. Everyone in Imperia knew that Vaughn and Emily had found their daughter who had been missing for nearly 20 years.And now, he was told that her identity was fake.So, what was the motive behind the person who had a random woman be their daughter?…Whil

    Emily was calmed by Hanson's words and quickly took out her phone to check the situation online.Connecting the dots between the crackdown on the fraud ring and Yvonne being exposed as an impostor, she immediately understood the correlation.She hastily called the PR team to handle the situation concerning Yvonne.After giving instructions, she looked at Hanson and asked, "Are we just waiting for Vaughn's results?""Yes." Hanson nodded.At that moment, Kenneth hurried in.Seeing Hanson and Emily sitting in the living room in silence, he asked, "Could Joey be your daughter?""Impossible!" Emily immediately screamed in denial.Kenneth was startled.Hanson also looked at her. "Why the big reaction?"Emily panted and insisted, "It's not possible, absolutely not…"Even though her words sounded uncertain, the resemblance and demeanor were solid evidence. But they had believed the test results instead.Moreover, she had slapped Joey just last night. Emily couldn't accept such a tr

    "Joey won't accept such a result. You understand that, which is why you came to me, right?" Monica bent slightly as she ironed the clothes seriously.Hanson felt a profound sense of loss.But Monica's words confirmed his suspicions that Joey was indeed the Fulham family's long-lost daughter.Fate was so unpredictable. He had been so close to the truth before, treating Joey with the utmost kindness, which had moved her slightly.Who would have thought the truth would be so cruel a year later?Tears were rolling in his eyes. "My father had insomnia the first few years after my sister went missing. Don't be fooled by his black hair now; it's dyed. During those three years, his hair turned completely white.""Talking about this won't help. I can't persuade Joey, and I don't want to. What your parents did last night was too much. Even if they thought they were protecting their daughter, they should have been reasonable," Monica said."I know. I just wanted to talk to you. I feel so b

    Previously, there had been an incident involving Zachary's kidnapping by the Fulham family. Although it was eventually determined that Brook wasn't involved, Hanson still harbored resentment.Joey's words made him think even less of Brook.But Brook was a businessman, and an alliance with the Yates family wouldn't bring him much benefit.Moreover, this marriage wasn't about financial gain. The two families had been friends for generations and wanted to strengthen their bond through marriage.So, what was the real reason behind Brook's actions?"I can't investigate this thoroughly. My uncle is deeply intertwined with our family since my mother's twin sister is married to him. I can only ask about it," Hanson said.The family's relationships were complex. Even if Brook acted out of greed, his grandparents would prioritize family harmony and urge Vaughn to forgive him."This is your family's matter. I'm just giving you a heads-up," Joey said calmly. Hanson didn't need to explain hi

    Zachary's basic personal information could be found online, but this detail was hidden. It was clear that he didn't want anyone to know that he had tooth decay due to overeating candy when he was a child.Once Brook was convinced, he coldly watched as Zachary was dragged together with the cage toward the private entertainment venue's underground arena."It doesn't matter if that woman dies. With such severe injuries, she'll succumb to infection within a few days after being thrown out of the venue," Brook grumbled to the man next to him as they headed to the spectator area."But Zachary must die." His face contorted with anger as he spoke. "Without him, my daughter will eventually marry Kenneth."His parents' power will be at our disposal by then, and the billions we earn can be laundered through filmmaking. It's all his fault!""I've prepared a fun little game for him," the man, Ashton Conrad, said with a grin. While Brook's fury was evident, Ashton was excited about the upcoming

    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
