Joey looked at Selena. "He's been video-calling me daily for the past month. Nothing seemed off."

As she spoke, she pulled up the screenshots she had taken and showed them to Selena, who also found nothing unusual.

"Maybe he came back to get something and then returned abroad," Selena mused.

Joey nodded in agreement. "That's possible. Given all the business dealings, he might have needed to return for something important."

"Yeah. Daily video calls don't leave much room for doubt," Selena added.

Shortly after their conversation, Monica hurried into the office.

Seeing Joey and Selena chatting, she tried to act normal but was still uneasy. "Harold is overwhelmed with taking care of Rose. I'm going over to help for a month. Hire a chef while I'm gone."

Rose had been released from the police station the previous week but fell seriously ill upon returning home and had been bedridden for a week.

Although Joey didn't want Monica to go to the Gray Estate, she couldn't stop her since Mon

    After talking to Zachary for a while, Monica left the room with Henry.In the first-floor living room, Harold said, "I don't think I can hold on much longer. If it comes to that, I'll pass the company to Joey. I trust no one else.""Stop talking nonsense! We still have a month. Zac won't leave us," Monica said.She looked around the room and suddenly exclaimed, "You men are useless! Look at how dirty this place is! If I were Zac, I wouldn't want to wake up, either!"She believed that the environment at home affected people's health. With the current gloomy and messy state, it was unlikely for a patient to recover.Harold and Henry were taken aback by her outburst."Henry, get some trustworthy people here. We need to clean up! A good environment is beneficial for the patient!" Monica commanded energetically, not at all defeated by Zachary's condition.Henry nodded dumbly. "Okay!"Monica's arrival changed the Gray Estate's entire atmosphere."Every corner needs to be spotless. T

    Even if Joey had time, Stacy wouldn't let them meet her.Seeing that Emily was about to say something, Vaughn quickly stopped her. "Alright, we'll make an appointment. Please let her know.""Wait a moment," Stacy said before turning slowly toward the office.At the office door, she knocked before entering to report, "Joey, I told them Monica is away, and now they want to make an appointment to see you."Should I refuse? I think they just want to apologize. Do you care about their apology?"Joey nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Decline them. Tell them I'm fully booked this year, and we'll talk about next year when it comes."She was busy, and chatting with the Fulham family couple was the last thing on her list.Stacy was thrilled and returned to relay the message.After informing them, she couldn't help but add, "Mr. Fulham, Ms. Lane, even I, a mere assistant, remember what you did and said at Emmen a month ago."If I were you, I would be too ashamed to come repeatedly.

    This incident marked a significant turning point in Shane's career as an assistant.He transformed from someone who only acted on Zachary's orders into a top-level assistant capable of handling matters independently.Meanwhile, Monica brought the tacos and broth to Zachary's room. Just as she was about to talk to Zachary, the sound of a plate breaking came from another room accompanied by Rose's voice."Does Monica know how to take care of a patient? How can she make tacos for me?"Monica sighed and said to Zachary, "I'll go talk to Rose and be right back."As she left, Zachary's eyelashes fluttered.In Rose's room, Henry wore a helpless and aggrieved expression.Monica told him, "You can go and eat. From now on, I'll handle her meals.""Who do you think you are? Why did Joey ask you to come? The Gray family—""You seem energetic. I suppose you're not hungry, right? Given that you've wasted your dinner, you can reflect on it while starving tonight." Monica turned to leave.Ro

    Harold couldn't help but hug Monica tightly after hearing the doctor's words. Tears streamed down his face. "He's waking up! Monica, it's all thanks to you!"Monica patted his back with her eyes red. "I told you, we all need to stay strong so Zac will fight to recover."It had only been a day since Monica arrived, and Zachary had regained consciousness. The food she made held a special place in his memory.As the doctor was leaving, he asked Monica to follow him outside.At the entrance, the doctor said, "It seems you hold a very special significance for Mr. Gray. Otherwise, he wouldn't have regained consciousness just from a meal you prepared. What is your relationship with him?"Monica was taken aback by his words."My granddaughter is his ex-wife. He used to come to our house for meals often, so he probably has some memories associated with it," Monica said.The doctor shook his head. "Only someone with a very special emotional bond can evoke such a response from a single mea

    As the joint virtual spokesperson for Emmen, Pixie, and Leap Motion, Candy was active on screen as she introduced the app's features."Of course, I'm just the spokesperson for Pixie. After you download the app, you can create your virtual avatar to act as your representative. Love Me integrates advanced AI technology, which allows you to teach your avatar gradually."Candy then detailed the realistic skin textures and the virtual try-on feature.The most interesting part was that when users closed the app, their avatars could shop at clothing stores based on their buying habits and bring back outfits, which would disappear after three days.The avatars had their own activities, and users could check their diaries to see what their avatars did while they were offline.After finishing her introduction, Candy waved. "I'm done! I'll go off now to play a game. I love the new one that just came out…"She referred to a fashion game released last year by Leap Motion and Joey.This sudde

    "While everyone else is arguing about the lack of male avatars, I've already downloaded the app and started customizing my character.""I've already picked out my clothes and checked out, regardless of whether they suit me."Some of these low-priced items have been on my wishlist for a while. I normally buy unknown brands on Sheine, but now I can afford to wear branded clothes!"Many people were in a hurry to purchase cheap clothing, prioritizing their orders over customizing their avatars.Joey pulled Leap Motion's technical director, Daniel Shaw, aside after he was done talking to someone."Please watch a video for me and help me verify something," Joey whispered."Sure," Daniel immediately agreed.Joey led him to a corner. After ensuring no one was around, she took out her phone and showed him a video she had recorded earlier.Daniel was surprised to see Zachary in the video. He frowned and asked Joey seriously, "Ms. Linton, where did you get this video?""You have to promi

    As soon as Selena got out, the driver immediately started the car and drove away.Hanson looked puzzled, and a flicker of disappointment appeared on his face."She had something to attend to, so she left early," Selena explained to Vaughn and Emily with a pale face.Emily's eyes reddened as she sobbed. "Joey still hates us."Selena remained silent. She couldn't speak for Joey, nor would she try to persuade them.Emmen would have long been gone because of what they did if it weren't for Joey's desperate efforts. It was too late for them to repent now.Vaughn turned his gaze back to Selena. "You don't look so good. Are you feeling unwell?""I'm fine," Selena said, but recalling the nightmare left her shivering."Come on, get in the car. You must be cold in your thin clothes," Hanson wrapped his arm around her shoulders and said in a voice full of concern.Selena suddenly leaned into his embrace and whispered, "Hanson, can you hold me? I'm scared."Vaughn and Emily knew she had

    When Selena arrived at Emmen, she found Joey still sitting behind a pile of documents and busy working.She tiptoed over and looked around curiously, wondering how Joey could be so calm."If you're free, help me with these documents," Joey suddenly looked up and said to her.Selena immediately stood straight, hesitating as she looked at Joey."Speak up if you have something to say." Joey closed the document and leaned back. She showed a boss-like posture and raised her chin to look at Selena."After what you've posted online about Zachary's incident, how can you still be in the mood to handle all this?" Selena implied that Joey should be investigating Zachary's whereabouts while she handled the work."I can only do that much for him, and he has to handle the rest himself. What does it have to do with me whether he's dead or not?" Joey said as she picked up another document to read.Henry was doing his best to hide things from her, so why should she bother? He was Zachary's trust

    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
